I mean, I really can't say anything negative in the slightest about Ashley. Not only is she an…read moreincredible and talented photographer, but she is such a kind, outgoing, and personable human being! Truly the best photographer I worked with thus far. She's perfect for event photography which is what I use her for. She is on-time, hard-working, and gets right into it. And the best part of it all, the pictures were ready in under 48 hours. That's IMPRESSIVE. I really liked Ashley and can't wait to work with her again! Loved the beautiful pictures she captured!

Ashley photographed me and my now-husband at our small City Hall wedding, and then the next day at…read morethe big party we threw with all of our friends and family. I tend to get really anxious in front of a camera, and don't consider myself to be very photogenic and so I was nervous for the photo portion of our days! Turns out, I did not need to be nervous at all! From the very first moment Ashley disarmed us and kept us comfortable. She was nothing but positive and--truly!--made us feel awesome about ourselves and the pictures we were taking. She is just a pleasure to be around and our comfort and happiness really comes through in the photos. And the photos are amazing! Ashley really captured our days in a way that will help us keep those memories for a lifetime!

AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL is seriously the perfect description for Jessica and her photography business…read more My fiance and I had an engagement session with Jessica this past Friday, and we went to a beautiful location in Glenview, and I haven't even gotten anything but the sneak peek yet, and I am THAT AMAZED with the beautiful art and talent Jessica has shown to have in just a few pictures. I seriously cannot wait to see the rest of the photos. I was a little scared because it was SO windy on the day we took pictures and I was scared about how I personally looked, but Jessica captured everything at just the perfect moment. Not too posed, but perfect candid moments. She was at the location before us set and ready to go, and she is very fun, personable, and respectful. We needed a wedding photographer for next year, and I was recommended Jessica, and I definitely know why. Her work is gorgeous and I cannot wait to have her as such an important part of our big day.

With the package we get she will give us the digital rights for 10 pictures, however it is always so hard to pick only ten! She has a way of capturing our family perfectly. Also the mini sessions are amazing, especially with a toddler who has an attention span of a goldfish. We get in, get out, and its great! Highly recommend her for any and all picture needs.

Bottom line up front-- BK Rose is Best in Class nation-wide and peerless...keeping up with trends…read moreand best practices etc. is what gets you booked. All stop. That means doing your homework. I'll help you out with gusto, just as so many have helped me as I got started on my own journey. Being on point on your self marketing, especially when you are non-represented, is non-negotiable. Failing to be professional with what casting directors demand is a roadblock. Submissions are "make or break" power moves. THE ODDS ARE AGAINST the apex storybook discovery tales of rarities like JLAW, Michele Pfeiffer, Charlize Theron etc. so if you expect that to be your way in...it's not reality. I get cast and work in these markets: NYC (Netflix movies), Atlanta (Marvel/ABC), and Mid-Atlantic (Apple TV). I am new to the business (three years in) but I have been building a resume over time and there is no way I am going to compromise because I take my career seriously. There is no slack given in a highly competitive industry with a dearth of roles and a surplus of talent. SO...if you want to crack the code, get seen, get call backs, get booked then there is no better photographer for any amount of money than BK Rose and Kat is my Queen. I get work in commercials, major motion pictures, network tv shows because of her. Fact! Every single person I ask that plays a role in getting cast (when I am lucky enough to get employment) has singled out my headshots as what is working for me to get my foot in the door. BK Rose unequivocally is worth the plane ticket, drive time, train time, mule riding time (you name it) to get quality content and ultimately get BOOKED. Not 10 out of 10 -- 100 out of 10!

We used Kat to do family/newborn photos when we had our 2nd child. We hadn't done family photos…read morebefore and Kat was so patient and helpful with answering all the questions I had and letting me try on outfits she had in the client wardrobe to see if anything would work for me before the photoshoot. She had some beautiful options but I ended up going with a dress of my own. Kat is truly a child/baby whisperer and was able to soothe my 3 week old to get her to cooperate for pictures and got my shy toddler to smile for photos! We received our pictures within 2 days of our photoshoot and they are nothing short of incredible. We have gotten so many compliments on how beautiful and stunning they look. I would highly recommend using BK Rose Studio for photos and know we will be reaching out again when we need more family photos taken!

Truly, I do. We looked at so many people/companies and nothing moved me. I liken your work to romance meets Vanity Fair. Also, you ROCK! We love you. You are so sweet. I felt so comfortable with you the instant we met; you are very approachable and friendly as well as professional all at the same time. I have to say, and anyone I know will agree, I HATE pictures of myself. HATE THEM. You helped me pose while making me feel confident and sexy. Thank you for putting together such an awesome engagement session for Reid and I!

I was looking for someone to take family pictures and I didn't want the standard posed studio photos. I've always gone for the more artistic, photojournalistic style, and Melissa was able to capture those moments beautifully. I have a 2 year old and a 10 month old and she was great with both of them. Usually it takes my son a while to warm up to new people but he was following Melissa around within minutes. Babies grow up so fast and thanks to Melissa, I'll always have beautiful memories of them at this age. She is now our official family photographer!

We hired Something Blue Photography for our destination wedding October 18. We had a small,…read moreintimate ceremony with our closest family and friends in the Spring Valley Nature Park in Schaumburg, IL. Conrad was our photographer and he knocked it out of the park! For months before the wedding, their whole team was professional and quick with responding to any questions I had. They were transparent and well-organized. We had two phone meetings to meet with Conrad before the big day. Even before the wedding, Conrad was so sweet and eager to shoot our Medieval wedding. His own excitement made me look forward to the wedding even more, since he genuinely wanted to be apart of it. He is so talented! And he went above and beyond on the day of by not only getting photos at the ceremony cabin, but ALSO traveled with us to Medieval Times (even waiting in line with us while we checked-in) so we could get interior photos. He captured the magic of our day! I've only seen a few sneak peeks of images (it's only been 4 days since the wedding!) and they are incredible, right out of a movie. I can't wait to see them all! Conrad made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Bo, my camera shy husband, looks incredible and Conrad was able to bring out the twinkle that I see in his eyes. I can't thank you all enough. These are the people you want to take your wedding photos, trust me!!!

Our experience with Something Blue has been excellent from engagement photos through our wedding…read more They were always communicative and collaborative, and the photos and video we've seen so far are stunning. When an illness came up, they were easily able to shift their coverage to make sure we still had two photographers and a videographer for the full time, which was a huge relief. Conrad, Ashley, and Jackson covered our wedding, while Liz did our engagement photos, and everyone was so lovely to work with. They were all so kind to us and did everything they could to make us feel comfortable throughout the day, which made everyone feel more at ease, even those of our party that were a little camera shy. Their guidance for photos was so helpful, and our family and friends have all been impressed with what they've seen so far. We are so grateful and highly recommend them!

He knows how to get his job done efficiently while being professional, fun, and allowing the people he is photographing to feel comfortable in front of the camera. 10/10 recommend!

We were searching for a wedding photographer and found Anthony via Thumbtack. I'm so happy we did!…read moreWe didn't want the traditional posed wedding photos, we wanted candid more natural shots and from looking at his website, we knew his style was what we were looking for. Anthony took the time to travel into the city and meet with us personally to make sure it was a good fit and talk about details. He's a one-man show so he's able to offer a great rate and he truly does an awesome job handling it on his own! He was able to keep our bridal party in-line (not an easy feat!) and kept people laughing. We ended up having to make a location change last minute due to heavy Friday afternoon traffic and Anthony went with the flow and was able to find some unique locations in the city on the fly. I would 100% recommend Anthony to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. One piece of advice, make sure you are clear on the length of time between the wedding and when you expect to get pictures. I was a bit surprised at how long it took to get back our photos; I wanted to use some for our thank you cards. He was super accommodating and sent us a few of his favorites so we had some to use for the cards.

I've talked to TWA about it but none-the-less I was beyond dissapointed. So, I decided to call Seth for some shots in front of my most beloved city skyline.

Seth's a great photographer and is so easy and fun to work with. I highly recommend him as a photographer. He's very talented....
