Stacy Kaat not only knows how to shot a good head shot, but knows how to keep things comfortable…read moreand relaxing while doing it. My headshots - one conventional and one 'dynamic' (to fit the mood of my freelance videography business) - showed the range that Stacy has as a headshot photographer and were exactly what I needed to promote my 'personal brand'. Beforehand, Stacy sat down with me to discuss what I wanted to convey in my photographs and also helped me choose the right outfit to match the vision we had of my headshots. She kept the whole experience calm & fun, and I couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out. I highly recommend Stacy for anyone looking to have a high quality headshot done. On a side note, Stacy is also a great networker and a wealth of knowledge on small business planning and marketing. I learned a lot just chatting with her in between photos.

When he opened it, tears sprang into his eyes and he said something like these pictures are so beautiful and I hope you can now see how I see you. Wow. As everyone else has said, this was an extremely empowering experience. I recently gained some weight and have been feeling bit down about my body. Melissa makes you feel so special and SEXY! Natalie did my hair, which was perfect. My make-up was beautiful and I'm so sorry I've forgotten her name! I opted to do a massage afterwards and that was also amazing--I don't remember her name either and I feel terrible about that! If you are thinking about doing a boudoir shoot and are on the fence, just do it! I felt so sexy and the pictures were so beautiful (I seriously didn't know my butt could look like that!). And the response from my husband just sealed the deal ("I'm going to need some time alone with these").

I was long overdue for updated head shots and I am very glad that I chose The Refinery for this…read moresummer's session. I was able to book several weeks in advance and lock in a time for an outside shoot. In terms of the studio, the place is very cozy and the "dressing room" area even features R+Co Hair Products which are awesome! Jessica is an excellent photographer and the outside session has fun and nicely paced. Afterwards, we went back up to choose the ones I'd like to keep and have as final products. In under two weeks, I got the link to my gallery and I am quite happy with the array of finalized images. I highly recommend the work of Jessica and Ryan.

Her attention to detail was spectacular. She was accommodating through multiple postponements due to Covid-19. She brought fun energy to both our engagement pictures and wedding day while still remaining very professional. All expectations were stated and communication was easy. Most of all, our photos are so dreamy- they capture all of the sentimental and funny moments of our big day in a way that is polished but still so authentic to us.

Sarah was a dream come true photographer! We used a different photographer for engagement photos…read moreand hated the awkward poses and how rigid we felt. Luckily we found Sarah with fresh frame by word of mouth. She really listened to what we wanted for our wedding photos and always made sure that we felt comfortable along the way. She was so flexible and caring. The day of our wedding she made taking photos fun and easy! She has an incredible eye at catching the light and finding the right spots to make incredible photos. Our entire bridal party commented that taking photos was not a stiff or awkward, but rather fun and light-hearted. We just received our photos and I am truly amazed. She was able to catch such beautiful moments to make the most perfect memories. Our photos look amazing. The only problem now Is figuring out which to frame!

Her studio in Riverwest is a ton of fun, she sells things in the studio prints, greeting cards, jewelry, randomness, things benefiting local rescue. Best of all she takes walk-ins and has very reasonable prices. It'd make for a fun day in Riverwest, grab some food across the street, head over to Black Sheep and get some photos done. If you're like me you are always complaining that there are no good pictures of you and your friends-This is the solution. She's great at capturing the uniqueness in things and she's very down to earth and fun.
