She's incredibly warm and…read morepersonable and does a fantastic job of making everyone feel comfortable - we felt like we were hanging out with a friend the entire time. She's very good at what she does; our newborn stayed asleep during the entire shoot thanks to her experience and attention to detail (making sure the room was warm, using white noise, soothing our babe, etc). I really appreciated how she made sure to ask if there was anything in particular we wanted to see in our pictures, and she even sent us a few preview shots only 24 hours after the shoot which was incredibly sweet. Aside from newborn shoots, she does a range of other photography, including family shoots, weddings, maternity, and boudoir and specializes in using natural light for her shots. I couldn't recommend her more!

Lisa is a very talented photographer with a great team of stylists. I would definitely recommend…read moreher to anyone for any type of professional photography!! Before I had my session with her, I was freaked out about having a professional photo session as I had gained weight since the last time I was in front of a photographer. Lisa is SO amazing at making you feel comfortable, beautiful and bringing out your inner light. I didn't think it was possible to love the pictures she took as much as I do but she had a special talent for pulling you in and making you shine through her lens. Please book a session with her for any reason, whether it's family photo time, senior pics, wedding photos, boudoir, etc. She can do it all and make you feel beautiful in the process!! In addition, Lisa is a pillar in her community, helping out and giving back wherever she can. As a small business owner, she knows the struggles other business face and always tries to pay it forward, especially during the holidays. A wonderful human and photographer who is definitely worth your time and support!!

Ashley is not only so incredibly sweet, but the absolute best and most talented photographer! My…read moreonly regret is that we didn't find her sooner. She has a way of getting great angles and finding the best light. I've always felt I'm not the most photogenic, but somehow I always end up with a bunch of pictures that I love. My oldest is a serious boy, but somehow she got that kid to smile in most photos. She's a miracle worker and is beyond worth the wait. I gladly book my family sessions a year in advance. When I got pregnant she was literally the first person I contacted because I knew how in demand Ashley is and I didn't want anyone else for my newborn pictures. Why would I want to hire someone that can get me in immediately?? The person clearly isn't good if they are that available! Ashley will be our photographer forever!

My daughter, 16, has experienced two successful photo sessions with Lifelong Photography…read more Photographers Dawn and Sue are: personable, professional (yet friendly), creative, inspirational, energetic, thoughtful, and a true attribute to the photography industry. I am pleased with their high-quality work and highly recommend Lifelong! The first session was outdoors, at a Bothell area park, a venue selected/suggested by Dawn. My daughter used four outfits; Dawn & Sue were patient and inspirational toward her. I appreciate how easy it was for M. to relax in front of the camera with both Dawn and Sue guiding her poses. They are personable thus making it easier for the subject to open up and feel confident in front of the camera. Both photographers have an exceptional "eye" for scenery options, and use natural lighting options in an optimum manner. Importantly we were not rushed, and I was allowed glimpses of the portrait captures. This was reassuring and exciting to me, allowing me to preview the outcome. We were included in the session decisions at appropriate times. For the second session M. was invited to their spacious studio in Mukilteo. We agreed upon a Makeup/Hair Artist for this session. This site has a spacious dressing room area, complete with cosmetology chairs/counters. M. is an aspiring entertainment industry candidate, and a current dancer. Our vision was to obtain workable head and body shots, for industry purposes. Dawn and Sue were incredible with regard to assisting M. toward relaxing in front of the camera, and I am amazed with the wonderful shots captured! Positive comments are flooding in, including comparison of certain shots to Vogue or similar magazines. These experts quickly put sneak peek shots onto facebook, allowing patrons a nearly immediate glimpse of the session. This is followed by access to a secure site, where the customer can view massive images and make purchase decisions. I highly recommend Lifelong Photography! Our experience is reflective of a Senior shoot, or model head/body shoot. I have viewed their family and child images, which are also impressive.

Irene is AMAZING! She photographed our wedding this last summer, and picking her was one of my…read morefavorite parts of the entire wedding journey. I am not usually super comfortable with taking photos, but she made it feel so natural and easy. She captured so many priceless moments with my family and loved ones, most of the time I didn't even know she was there unless we were posing! I am beyond happy with the incredible work she did for us, and the time she took to be sure everything was perfect. She even walked us through downtown tourists and traffic on a busy summer day to be sure we got to the locations we wanted, and brought us to some we didn't know about and ended up loving! Every time I called or emailed, she was there with a quick and helpful response, which definitely helped to alleviate some of the wedding planning stress. She truly captured not only people, but emotions, who my husband and I are together and the love that we share. The photos she created allow us to share the story of our love and special day, and we are going to cherish this forever!

She worked well with all the family members and their interesting dynamics, and was always quick to respond when we had questions. I didn't need to think about anything on the day as she masterfully included every iteration of family and location that we wanted! Our photos turned out so beautifully. It was such a lovely mix of candid and editorial while looking like us (or a slightly nicer version of us) the entire time. She got our photos back to us very quickly and gave us some sneak previews along the way. I would strongly recommend her for any of your photography needs, we are so pleased and have chosen her.

Joanna Monger was recommended to us by our venue's owner, Sharon. Upon viewing her portfolio, I was…read moremesmerized by the authenticity that was captured in her photography; they featured genuine, beautiful moments. They looked like lovely pictures of real, happy people - not overly-processed and cinematic. This is exactly the type of style I wanted for our micro-wedding. I generally dislike having my photo taken, and I'm notorious among my friends and family for refusing to be photographed during events. In spite of that, naturally I expected to endure many pictures on my wedding day. Even with my reservations, it all passed so quickly and easily! No feelings of overwhelm, exhaustion, frustration, or impatience. To begin with, we had a Zoom call to serve as our introduction. My distaste for being seen digitally extends to video chats, but Joanna immediately helped put me at ease. She is an expert in her field and specializes in people who are less comfortable with having their photo taken. She offered logistical support in planning our day, as well as the emotional support that comes with having an ally who can understand your position and work with you. She is so kind and personable, which is perfect for those of us who are a little more on the timid side. In terms of the day of, she was already at the venue well before the rest of us arrived. In between taking some get-ready shots, she even helped my family member get into a very tight-fitting dress. I genuinely don't know if we could have wrangled that zipper up without Joanna's help! After that, she gave a brief lesson to my person-of-honor, showing how to properly fluff out my dress's long train behind me. Additionally, I noticed she was skilled with remembering the names of our close family and wedding-party members. Joanna is so organized and swift with her camera. Despite beginning our ceremony a little later than scheduled, she managed to shoot every photo we wanted within our tight timeframe of just two hours - with a few minutes to spare, too! She's also great at giving clear direction to help improve positioning and posing. And it all flew by so fast. She had our photos ready with astonishing speed (just one week later!), and they were just as wonderful as I had hoped! These are exactly what I wished our wedding pictures would look like. I'm so happy with the variety of different shots Joanna managed to capture, and I'm in disbelief of how well they turned out. I couldn't be happier with the service she provided to us on our special day. I would highly recommend her to anybody, but especially to others who might be less confident in front of the camera.

In our first meeting, she asked about areas of my body I didn't like so she could angle me appropriately and avoid the usual awkward pics.

Our wedding was such an amazing day and Joanna made a schedule to keep us on track and got EVERY photo we asked for. Choosing our pictures for the final printed album was a breeze and well worth the wait! I cannot recommend her enough! I am forever grateful for finding her on Google and taking a meeting with her! I knew within the first 15 minutes that she would take wonderful care of me and my husband on our day! Thank you Joanna!
