My family and I booked a session to be photographed at the beach and they came out to our resort so it was very convenient. I was worried about the Florida weather and rainy afternoon showers on the day of our shoot and Lu and Zan came out early to avoid the rain. They were both wonderful and incredibly patient with our kids. Super friendly and talkative to really put us at ease and get great shots of the family and also just the kids. If you are looking to have a relaxed and beautiful photo session I highly recommend them. The images were sent to me in only a few days and were gorgeous.

She doesn't like smiling on command, and when she does, it's usually a silly grin! We wanted to get some Christmas photos this year but weren't sure where to go since we had only recently moved to Florida a little over a year ago. That's when I found Kari Rae Photography through a local Facebook group. Her photos were stunning, and the backgrounds were just the style I had in mind. I reached out to Kari through Messenger, and she was so friendly and easy to schedule with. I shared my concerns about timing and my daughter's reluctance to be in photos, and she was very understanding. When we arrived at the session, I was immediately impressed by how beautiful and child-friendly her setups were. Kari's warm and welcoming personality helped my daughter feel comfortable right away. She even had little props for my daughter to hold, which made for some fantastic shots! We ended up with over 200 photos, and I loved so many of them that we purchased additional images beyond our original package. Kari really captured the essence of my girls and I'm so grateful for the beautiful memories she created for our family. We will absolutely be using her for future sessions, whether it's for birthdays or other family photos!

It was obvious when we were taking the pictures that she knew exactly what light and direction worked best and she was quick because we were working with a tired 3 and 5 year old.

I like that she offers digital download because some still offer prints only. Definitely recommend x100!!
