THIS IS THE GUY! It…read morewas my first ever official in-studio shoot, and Jae did an incredible job as a professional photographer and a creative artist. He walked me through everything that was gonna happen, and offered guided caution so that I would get what I want from the photos. I was very relaxed and comfortable the entire time. The session ended up being one of the most fun and pleasant experience in my life. I would definitely work with him again in the future!!!

A little over a decade ago, I was searching for a photographer in the Washington DC area who would…read morebe able to take proposal photos as a surprise to my now wife. Jae was one of the photographers who reached out and ultimately the one I ended up going with. Looking back, it was absolutely the right choice! He was incredibly helpful in planning out the proposal and choosing the best location for our photos. He answered all of my questions and was easy to get in touch with both before and on the night of the proposal, keeping me updated and making sure everything was ready before the big moment. The photos turned out perfect! Even today, they stand out as some of our favorite pictures. Fast forward 10 years later - I had an idea to get a kind of "follow up" set with our daughter for our 10th anniversary. I reached out to see if Jae was still in the area and if he'd have some availability to do these for us. He got back to me fast and we ended up planning everything out, starting right back where the proposal happened. This time was just as great! Jae was fantastic with our daughter and really helped bring out her smile. He was great posing us and knew exactly how to work each location we walked to. The photos (again) turned out fantastic! Being able to look back at both sets side by side, a decade later, is like opening a time capsule - it's just so cool!

My husband and I needed a photographer for our daughter's first birthday party and Neethu and Shiji…read morecame to our rescue! They were on time, kind, and so professional throughout. Best of all, the photos we received were impeccable - they were everything I had hoped for and more. A first birthday party already brings up so many nerves with wanting everything to go perfect (while accepting that everything won't) but they ensured I had nothing to worry about. These are photos I will treasure for a lifetime. I would hire them again in a heartbeat.

Blushing Lotus is an amazingly talented duo with an eye for the "prefect shot" and the best…read morecustomer service. My best friend used Neethu & Shiji for their October 2022 wedding. They were so affordable and talented that she booked them immediately. They set up two meetings prior to the wedding and answered any question we threw at them in a timely manner. On the big day, they texted me that morning & updated me as to their ETA and were early! They immediately began working on outdoor shots, sanctuary photos, etc. The "getting ready" photos were such a special experience and they were so careful to listen to the bride's wants & brought the reference photos we had sent them as inspiration. The ceremony was in a sanctuary so Neethu and Shiji were quiet and unnoticeable during the ceremony. They got great shots and somehow captured the most precious moments without much movement! They let me (the best friend and control freak) help organize the family photos after the ceremony & were so respectful and patient. We worked together to get all the photos done without stressing the couple. The portraits afterwards were so fun and memorable. Neethu took amazing candid shots with angles that complimented the couple & Shiji focused on direction and portraits. After the wedding, they checked in with a few sneak peeks & delivered the completed collection within their promised 6-week turn around. I cannot recommend this amazing duo enough. The photos are stunning and the entire experience with Neethu & Shiji was nothing short of perfection. I will recommend them to anyone who will listen to me!

She emailed me the same day and said we would have to…read morereschedule it because the sunflowers were not in bloom, totally understandable....Then she ghosted me.

What really impressed me was that right before us, she was doing an amazing job with some kids whose parents were not able to control them, but she did!

The amount of natural light and the option to use the owners lights are both amazing to have. The studio also has a ton of clothing options for clients to borrow as well as chairs and backgrounds. The wood floors that can be either dark or white gives plenty of versatility for your clients. The process of booking was also SUPER easy and the rates right now are very reasonable for what you get! I'd highly recommend this studio for a variety of uses! :)

Paige was also great at directing us (and also not directing us in order to get some candids). And, she miraculously got a bunch of beautiful pictures in only 30 minutes.
