Truth be told....I write this with a bit of a tear in my eye....not to get too melodramatic over a…read moreyelp review....but pictures...when done perfect and if your in a particular sentimental mood....can have that effect. Some backstory...Imagix/Michelle has done our yearly photos for our son from ages 1 to now 5. (See my past reviews). From somehow capturing a perfect moment from our perpetually moving blur of a son (ages 1-3) to patiently instructing four 70/80 year olds on how to hold their aforementioned 4 year old Tasmanian Devil grandson last year, Michelle is a magician/artist...I always leave the photoshoot stressed from the chaos Hurricane Daniel (our son) leaves in his wake....But every year we come back to look at the proofs and are amazed at Michelle ability to capture "lighting in a bottle" . This year was no different. Fortunately we survived the terrible 2's (...3's....4's....) and thanks to time, maturity, and the opposite of gentle parenting, our little Daniel, though far from perfect, is manageable. But we didn't want to make it too easy for Michelle, so we threw in another variable. After a recent canine cancer scare, and recently learning from Google that all dogs, however loyal and cute, unfortunately have an inescapable life, span, I somehow convinced my beautiful but camera shy wife that this is the year we do a family photo with our dog. Some more backstory, if you read this far, our Yorkie, Libby, loves us but HATES the rest of the world. She spent the entire hour photoshoot in perpetual scowl and Volume 11 non stop bark. One week later as she always does, lighting in a bottle perfection. I looked at the proofs with amazement. Our son, we expected....she's done it every year, but how she made a loud perpetual yapping bark into a impossibly cute smile is above my skill set. But I think her greatest feat is how she lessened the "he must be rich" looks gap between my wife and I. My wife is easy, even me with my amateur Android skills, it's hard for her to take a bad picture. Michelle mastery came with how she elevated me to "he must be funny" looks gap level. So why the tear? We loved one of the pics so much we purchased a large framed canvas print to hang on our living room wall. My 85 year old happened to be in town for his grandsons 5th bday so I asked him for an helping hand hanging the picture. I figured he has these family portrait hanging at my childhood home. My brother and I with our full head of hair and my mom shoulder pads captured the 90's to a tee...but what I always remember is the "proud" look my dad had on his face. A look of accomplishment shouting "look at me world and all that I love and created". Watching my aging dad struggle, listing to my aging dog bark in a locked room to protect my dad's ankles, I was suddenly reminded that time, as much as you want to hit pause, always moves forward. It's a good idea to stop and smell the roses, or in this case, look at the snapshot/memories/moments and take it all in. After my dad handed me the leveler and I put away the hammer, and I looked up....and yeah....I had that "Dad" look

Her fun energy has my kids always excited to go see her and take pictures. She collaborates with others to make the photos perfect- makeup/hair, and cakes! I also love that she has a large supply of baby outfits and headbands - and she would style the babies so cute! We moved away 3 years ago, yet still drive an hour and a half to work with her because she is the best! Thank you Eva for capturing amazing memories that we will cherish always.

We've done practically every family photo here, along with so many of the themed holiday sessions -- Valentine's Day, Easter, Christmas, and more. They always do such a beautiful job with the sets and photos, but what really keeps us coming back is the experience they create for our kids and our family. We have so many memories documented here that I know we'll treasure forever. And our annual holiday photos with Santa have become especially special to us. My girls are completely convinced that he is the real Santa and that any other Santas they see are just his friends helping him out because, obviously, the real Santa is very busy taking pictures with them That alone tells you how magical they make the experience for the kids. We're so grateful to have found a studio we trust to capture our family as our kids grow. So many milestones, holidays, and little seasons of life are hanging on our walls because of them. We'll absolutely continue coming back!

We recently had our generational family portraits taken at the studio, and Michael was wonderful!…read moreWith about 16 of us, things were definitely lively -- lots of people, plenty of noise, and many different photo combinations to coordinate. Michael handled our fun, chaotic bunch with so much professionalism, patience, and kindness.

The pictures turned out beautifully, and we couldn't have asked for a better place -- or a better person -- to help us capture such a special family moment.

Thank you Nelson, it was truly a pleasure to work with you!!

I am so thankful that I came across him while searching and every time I get a picture from him I get to re-live those moments all over again. To call him amazing is an understatement.

One Captures has been on this journey with us since 2019!! We have canceled, rescheduled, postponed, canceled, and rebooked for the last 3 years! Nancy, Noe , and Valeria not only exceeded our expectations with our wedding and engagement photography, but they are now people we would consider friends. Everything was so effortless we could not have been happier with the results, truly breathtaking! Not only is the team exceptionally talented photographers/videographers, they're wonderful people to work with. They were able to put us completely at ease in front of the camera and their work is artistic and impeccable. We would 100% recommend to family and friends (and we have!). We could not have asked for a better team to work with!! We will definitely be hiring them for our future events. Their name truly describes their talent; they capture once in a life time memories.

From the moment we arrived, she made us feel completely at ease. Working with a baby can be unpredictable, but Sarah was so patient, playful, and attentive--managing to capture every sweet expression and little detail that makes this stage so special. My son adored her & responded so well to her. The photos are absolutely stunning--beautifully lit, thoughtfully composed, and full of personality. Each image feels like a work of art that we'll treasure forever. It's rare to find someone who is not only talented behind the camera, but also has such a warm presence that brings out the best in their subjects. I wholeheartedly recommend Sarah to anyone wanting timeless, heartfelt photos. We're so grateful for these memories and can't wait to book future sessions!

Karla, the owner and photographer, was incredibly professional, kind, and made me feel heard and comfortable throughout the entire session. She guided me with what to bring and how to best prep for the shoot, gave instructions for poses and offered a wide variety of beautiful backdrops and outfits to choose from taking into account my preferences, making the whole process collaborative, so easy and fun! She was super hands-on and went an extra mile with even fixing and touching up my hair to make sure every shot looked great! The studio itself is clean, well-lit, and comfy. The parking was easy and close to the studio. Karla's warm personality and attention to detail truly made the session special. The whole experience was just easy, fun, and effortless. I'm currently waiting for my edited photos and will update this review once I receive them, but based on my experience so far, I couldn't recommend KD Photo Studio enough! I'm SO happy I chose this studio for this special occasion because it definitely made it extra special! I felt beautiful, confident, and well taken care of the whole time!

Between the juggling and the natural calm she brings to the session, we would definitely book Miranda again for future milestones. Our oldest kept telling us how much fun she had which wasn't my expectation. The previews she showed us also look terrific. Miranda does a great job with her business.

Steve also takes great party photos and we will be having him do our party snap as well a second time. We also have had friends who've used them as well and are highly satisfied. They're really good, kind, caring people who want to make sure you get the best photos. Their prices are also reasonable and fair and you can find them posted on their website (unlike many photographers who are elusive and just don't publish their prices which can be annoying). I was able to share with them my vision and how I want things to look and they took that into consideration as well You really won't be disappointed if you go with Irin Studio.
