Kastle took pictures of my daughter's first birthday. From the moment I contacted her via text, she…read morewas so sweet and accommodating. She arrived about 15 minutes early and started taking pictures and checking on lighting. The day was such a blur for me and I am usually the one who snaps pictures but I wasn't able take any. It was such a treat to have Kastle send me a link to all edited shots the next day. It was great to be in the moment, yet have someone take pictures so that we can have memories from the day! I definitely plan on using Kastle again for future shoots and events!

I truly cannot say enough about Kiran Photography. Kiran went above and beyond in every possible…read moreway. She didn't just show up with a camera -- she showed up with intention, care, and creativity. She generously offered her own outfits to elevate the look, never once made me feel rushed or pressured about timing, and poured so much thought into every detail. As a podcast host, she even thoughtfully asked me to bring a microphone -- such a small touch, but it made the entire shoot feel authentic and aligned with who I am. What amazed me most is her ability to make the smallest details look stunning. She has an incredible eye for composition and storytelling. Every image feels intentional, polished, and meaningful. She doesn't just take photos -- she creates an experience. Absolutely brilliant at her craft. Do not look anywhere else for photography! she truly amazing

We worked with Kiran for both our maternity and newborn photoshoot sessions…read more And we couldn't be happier! Kiran is absolutely fantastic at her job. She has a great collection of outfits for mom to choose from! We did a fall maternity Photoshoot and the final edited pictures were stunning. For the newborn photoshoot too, Kiran had so many amazing props and beautiful newborn outfits/ swaddles to choose from. She was also an absolute pro at handling our newborn baby with such ease that the entire photoshoot was a breeze. We received a lot of compliments for all of the maternity, newborn and family photos she clicked. I would highly recommend Kiran to capture your special moments!

Definitely recommend!! Ana, owner of Days Photography, did a newborn session for my 5 week old…read moregranddaughter. She was very quick to respond to my initial inquiry (which was an issue I'd been having with other photographers), and was very communicative throughout the process. When we arrived at her studio in Stanwood, the atmosphere was absolutely perfect for a newborn - dim lighting, soothing music, and a warm environment. The studio was super clean, and even had a bathroom with a changing station and diapers / wipes in case we needed them. There were many hats, blankets, and props to choose from. But what we loved the most was Ana's warm, sweet, gentle way with the baby. She's a baby whisperer!! She soothed and cuddled my granddaughter and was able to take the most precious photographs that we will cherish forever. Thanks again for everything, Ana!!

We did a family photo session with Ana and was very impressed with the results and her quick and…read morefriendly communication prior to the shoot! I am really picky when it comes to new photographers but Ana was referred to us and so I thought we would give her a try. It was our first "mini session" and I was afraid a timed mini session anywhere would feel rushed (especially with a toddler) but we did not feel rushed at all. Ana was very patient and created a stress-free environment, she let us take our time with every pose, and even got our toddler to smile quite a bit (which in the past we found difficult for anyone else to make him smile). She knows how to work with little ones! She had great ideas for poses as well and also made sure there weren't any specific poses we wanted that were left out. I came into this session just wanting 5-10 photos but she delivered so much more and I'm so thankful we got copies of all of that because the pictures really did turn out great! We definitely feel like this photo session was worth every bit spent! (She even collected food donations and provided giveaways to those who donated). We look forward to working with Ana more in the future!

I truly cannot say enough good things about Sasha. She is so unbelievably talented and makes it…read morelook so effortless. 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? Don't worry, Sasha will make you feel like a natural-born model. Worried about logistics on your wedding day? Don't worry, Sasha has it down to a science. 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.

My fiancé Jenn and I could not have imagined a better experience than working with Sasha. I was…read moreplanning a surprise proposal in Seattle, which as an CA native, I had very little experience of. 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. Fast forward 2 months and the weather reports changed, I had to change the date a few days early, had to change the location; everything seemed to be deviating from the original schedule. 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!

I highly recommend her, especially for pictures of families and little ones! Our photos had Santa too, and the Santa she used was excellent.

Short Answer: Courtney Holcomb is amazing. Save the time…read moreit will take to read this review and make an appointment with her before she is all booked up. She is that good! Longer Answer: I needed a "headshot." Truth be told, I would prefer having a tooth pulled than having my picture taken, especially when it is just me. Thank you, no. I am 62, and I have finally come to the conclusion that I am never going to get taller or younger...I know, right? But I digress... After receiving more than a few proposals for my YELP request (which is one of the things I love about YELP) and filtering through them, I found I kept coming back to Courtney's website. After speaking with her on the phone, I knew she was who I wanted to work with. I mean, really, I can only take so many bad selfies, even with all those festive "apps" before I realized I wanted find a real photographer. Courtney is more than just a real photographer; she is an artist. When I showed up for the photo shoot, I was as nervous as can be. It's silly but true. Put me in front of a crowd of people to speak, a high school full of students, even when faced with that service writer about to tell me "Lola" (my car) needs "a bit more work than we were hoping...". That I can handle. No fear! But point a camera at me? Yeah...no. But I digress...again... Then I met Courtney Holcomb. Courtney has this amazingly calm manner and this kind smile that would help anyone relax. She listens. She asks questions that actually apply to the photo shoot. She wasn't trying to schmooze me. She was trying to make sure I got what I wanted. She explained exactly what she wanted me to do and how she wanted me to do it. She is patient. She smiles. She gets me. How cool is that? And I loved the studio! Come to find out, Courtney has access to several amazing studios, from basically the US/Canada border to the Seattle/Bellevue a rea. This makes it so much more convenient for me, and it was perfect! It was in this old building in Everett with these incredibly tall ceilings, tons of natural light (even that day when it was on the verge of raining), these gorgeous billowy curtains, and lots of furniture possibilities. It has a great dressing room area, too. In fact, the whole place is spacious enough for a herd of family without feeling cramped. Perfect. Now, let's dash to the INCREDIBLE proofs! First, I received them incredibly quickly, and the platform she uses to review them is very easy to use. The pictures themselves? WOW. They are wonderful. They made me feel beautiful. I felt like she found how to make me look kind and strong, which was exactly what I was hoping for. Did I mention her prices are more than fair? Did I mention I am already scheduling another sitting with her for our family? Final Words: HIRE HER! Seriously, you will thank me
