We hired Anastasia for our couple's anniversary photoshoot and she is the BEST photographer I've…read moreworked with! This is one review I can wholeheartedly give 10 stars, if I could. Anastasia is not JUST a photographer, she is a creative genius while still being very professional. My husband doesn't love getting photos taken, but with Anastasia, our anniversary photoshoot was more than just a photoshoot, it was a fun adventure that added a very special touch to our 15 year anniversary, my husband didn't even ask once if we were almost done, which seemed to be the norm judging from past experiences. She's very thorough in her preparation as well, she advised us on wardrobe and she even has a client closet, which was very helpful.

I can not put into words how well Anastasia captured the breathtaking beauty of my baby girl. I…read morefirst met with Anastasia when my baby was just two weeks old to do our newborn session, and I had no clue what to expect. Before the session I received a packet explaining in detail what to bring, what to wear, what to expect etc. Also, before the session she asked an amazing amount of questions to get an idea of what direction our photoshoot was going to be directed. Needless to say she did amazing work and was extremely professional and put my husband and I at ease. I can honestly say that she is also a baby whisperer because she posed her is so many positions without waking her once. I will return to her for every photo session need.

Jen is absolutely incredible! I could not have found a better photographer for our wedding. She…read moretruly cares about the people and events she photographs. She took a lot of time to get to know us before our wedding, which made us confident that she would capture meaningful images. That she did! Our photos are amazing. Her knowledge of light combined with her innate sense of capturing moments on "film" is beyond amazing. She caught such beautiful interactions, candidates, posed photos... everything. Our special day was made even better thanks to Jen. And all of our guests loved her! People were asking how I found such a cool photographer. Some people thought she must have been a personal friend of the family, because her rapport is so warm and energetic. Anyone who has Jen as their photographer will be truly lucky. I cannot recommend her strongly enough!! To find such a gem in a small community like Port Townsend is remarkable. And her prices are fair, straightforward and totally reasonable, as well. I hope I get a chance to enjoy her talents and awesome personality again!

She really put our family at ease and helped us find playful and candid poses that really brought each individual's personality in the photos. She also helped us troubleshoot a last-minute relocation when the rain just refused to lift! Her fee was totally reasonable-- especially for the number of photos we received for each of our respective families. We had a great experience and highly recommend Courtney -- we will definitely use her again!

The photos are absolutely stunning - Sterling was able to intuitively capture my essence within both professional and artistic shots.

The breathing and meditation exercises we did before the photoshoot helped me to feel comfortable in front of a camera. Sterling helped me to feel comfortable in my own skin - which to me is priceless. As a light-skinned Pacific Islander, I often felt uncomfortable with my appearance... until I moved to the continental us for college. But even then while I felt adequately assimilated, my soul felt split. This experience has helped me to love myself wholly and fully, marrying my two selves that I had kept separate for too long. Never would I have thought that a photoshoot would allow me that. Sterling's talents are very special and unique. I am forever grateful that our paths crossed. To anyone thinking about an embodiment photoshoot, I say go for it. And if an embodiment photoshoot doesn't really sound like your thing, still consider it :) I thought the same, but I'm really glad that I did it. I've always wanted to be able to capture the moon's beauty as seen through my eyes... not easy. But Sterling seems to do just that in her photography. Capturing the pure beauty and magic of another!

She is easy to work with even with the challenges of wrangling a super active little one who didn't want to look at the camera.

She has a gift and is easy to work with, very professional, the quality of her shots are outstanding plus she is reasonable with her pricing. I will definitely recommend her to family and friends for their special occasions. Can't wait for my family fall photo session!!! Book her today you won't regret it.

I was running 40 minutes late to my 11 am courthouse ceremony in the city, it was pouring, and we made a mistake of forgetting our marriage license which caused the delay. Mistakes happen. Brittany was very frustrated when I made her aware of this and turned around to go home. I paid $1200 for one hour of shooting and obviously didn't get anything. I told her I would be writing a review about this experience and she took to Facebook to encourage her followers to bully me. ON MY WEDDING DAY! I received multiple threatening messages, fake reviews were left on my works google reviews; to the point where the police are involved now. I am in disbelief at the behavior and how this was handled. It's not even about the photos anymore. Yes I'm sad I don't have them but I am more upset that a grown woman could treat another woman like this on her wedding day.
