Anastasia is not JUST a photographer, she is a creative genius while still being very professional. My husband doesn't love getting photos taken, but with Anastasia, our anniversary photoshoot was more than just a photoshoot, it was a fun adventure that added a very special touch to our 15 year anniversary, my husband didn't even ask once if we were almost done, which seemed to be the norm judging from past experiences. She's very thorough in her preparation as well, she advised us on wardrobe and she even has a client closet, which was very helpful.

Before the session I received a packet explaining in detail what to bring, what to wear, what to expect etc. Also, before the session she asked an amazing amount of questions to get an idea of what direction our photoshoot was going to be directed. Needless to say she did amazing work and was extremely professional and put my husband and I at ease. I can honestly say that she is also a baby whisperer because she posed her is so many positions without waking her once. I will return to her for every photo session need.

We feel hurt and disappointed and upset by this level of unprofessionalism.

Her photography speaks for itself, it is simply stunning. She photographed my wedding as well as a boudoir session my wife gave me as a wedding present. Everything turned out perfectly, we cried when we saw how beautiful they are. All of our guests are still gushing about how amazing our photos are! And this is just mentioning her artistic talent, she is also the most sweet and friendly person to work with. She is always calming, even in the chaos of family wedding photos, and was instrumental in my wife and I enjoying our wedding day and finding time to really reflect and appreciate the day. At every stage, from our initial interview through when we received our photos after the wedding, including all planning and the wedding day, she was everything we could ever ask for (and we were NOT an easy client, I assure you). There is no question, she is the ONLY photographer we will ever hire from now on.

If you can book Katy to photograph for you- whether it be for a wedding, new baby, party, business,…read moreor anything else- consider yourself lucky. Katy is one of the most charming and laid back yet professional people I have ever had the pleasure to work with. She starts off by getting a really good idea of what you're looking for, and then helps you get just that. She did our engagement photos and wedding photos. After hearing our likes and dislikes, she suggested several places for the engagement photos to be taken and the place we chose from her was spot on. She was irreplaceable when it came to planning the wedding day. We needed a plan for the day, plus a backup plan for bad weather, plus a backup plan if COVID completely made us have to rearrange the day- and she helped us make all 3 plans so that we could still have a beautiful day and get beautiful photos. That was so helpful for me who was planning a wedding without assistance. Katy is funny and kind- she wants to get to know you and is easy to talk with. During our small reception she was in the background taking photos, but during our more "one on one" time with her she was direct and helpful. We were feeling really awkward about having engagement photos taken- but worry not! Katy will pose you in ways that look and feel natural, not stuffy or awkward. And seriously- our photos are AMAZING. We are still waiting on our full collection of wedding photos but she sent us a few as a sneak peek and we can not get enough of them. We feel so grateful to have had someone so carefully and lovingly document these important mile stones in our lives and we most certainly plan to use her more in the future. Thank you Katy!

Kathleen recently took both our maternity and newborn photos for the birth of our second daughter…read more She is absolutely wonderful! She was great with our toddler during both sessions (maternity photos were taken outside and a local barn property and newborn photos were taken at our home). She is very talented, friendly, professional and responsive to e-mails/questions, etc. She was also patient and accommodating when I asked to change the newborn session date multiple times because of uncertainty around the timing of our scheduled induction. We are in love with all of the photos she took for us and are amazed by the shots she was able to capture. We know they're photos we will cherish forever. We definitely plan to use Kathleen for our future family photographs. My husband and I highly recommend Kathleen!

And this isn't even getting into her work, which is obviously incredible. The things she does with light are nothing short of amazing, you'll have a hard time choosing which portraits to frame, and she takes some of the very best dance floor shots of any photographer I've worked with (and let me tell you, dance floors are hard, because they're so often very-dimly lit.) I highly recommend her to all of my clients.

She brings such an amazing energy to every shoot and makes you feel right at home. Sasha has seen our family through so many stages of life. From wedding days to first family photos to post-baby boudoir. Her incredible talent speaks for itself, but her welcoming nature and badass boss lady energy is the icing on the cake. We truly love working with Sasha and getting to have her talent as a part of our family history. Feeling awkward in front of the camera?

Feeling tired and worn out from being a new parent? Don't worry, Sasha will bring the light back to your eyes. Trust me, you won't regret working with Sasha. She is truly amazing.

After a phone call and a few text exchanges, Sasha helped me plan my proposal and also provided wonderful suggestions for the rest of our stay.

Throughout all of the madness, Sasha stayed very active in offering solutions and doing everything she could to still make this the day of our dreams. Fortunately, with her help, we had a winter wonderland proposal, amazing photos to remember the moment, and great memories that were only heightened by the kind soul that Sasha is. Any other major or minor life moment I have that requires photos, Sasha will be the first on my list!

Positive attitude about taking time away from family vacation to take photos? Check. Clean and pressed clothes? Check. Fantastic local photographer to conduct the shoot? Check! It's become a bit of a tradition to take family photos when on a vacation to a unique and luxurious location. (See my review Studio 3511 Photography here: http://www.yelp.com/biz/studio-3511-photography-honolulu?hrid=qWiF0G99XOcUeich6zomsg). Heading up to Whistler, I figured it was time once again to capture the family for posterity. It had been two years since our last family photos and while three of us looked more or less the same, The Boy had grown about 15 inches. Funny how that happens. I started my search for a photographer on Yelp (of course) and contacted a photographer who got back to me quickly saying that she was unavailable, but recommending that I get in touch with Darby Magill. Perfect--a personal referral and one from a peer--how could I go wrong? I emailed Darby and she got back to me right away. Over the course a few emails we discussed settings, pricing and other logistics. Darby suggested we meet in Rebagliati Park just a short walk from Whistler Village. From there we could wander and look for interesting settings. That sounded like the perfect plan. We're a causal group and liked the idea of capturing different settings during the hour-long shoot. In her final email Darby wrote "I'm short with a big black bag :)" and sure enough, when we arrived at the park, Darby was easy to pick out from among the tourists. Just as I suspected, the down to earth vibe that I felt in Darby's emails was immediately apparent in person. Safe to say that we all liked and felt comfortable with her from the beginning. Over the next hour Darby snapped shots of us in numerous settings--underneath the large natural growth trees, next to the river, along a walking path and, perhaps my favorite, under a bridge that was painted with fantastic urban art. I appreciated the different poses and angles that Darby explored and the particular attention she paid to the dance of the light that poured through the trees. I honestly have no idea how many pictures Darby took, but the portfolio she uploaded had over unique 60 photos, each presented in color and greyscale. Throughout our hour together we visited with Darby, enjoying learning more about her and her business. The photos themselves are terrific (with perhaps the exception of a certain teenage boy who decided he had something against smiling--so much for that positive attitude check box above.) Still, vibrant imaginative, lovely and fun. Darby provided all of them on an easy to access password protected website so we could review and share and print. A great keepsake from a great vacation and a time capsule of who we all were that summer of 2014.
