She captures people being real, not fake, posed, or staged shots, unless that's what you want. I had the pleasure of watching her shoot my two teenage girls, on an extremely hot day, in downtown. She caught their very different personalities beautifully. The pictures were amazing, and when I received them, the quality was incredible. I can't wait to use her again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who is creative, personal, and the highest quality.

Elyse and I went to my first high school together, Cedarcrest. I hadn't spoked to her since then,…read morebut had been enjoying all her photography endeavors via facebook (of course). When the time came to pick a photographer, I immediately thought of her unique style and how she portrays exactly what I wish to portray in photos of the events of my life. She captures the feeling, not just the moment. We immediately booked her. We have been nothing but pleased. Elyse is fantastic! Professional, and very efficient, but a blast to shoot with. She's open to anything, laughs at our jokes (important!), and has great, subtle but not too subtle, suggestions. When we went to Seattle for our engagement session we had soo much fun. It didn't even feel like there was a camera there at all; Elyse was very unintrusive, but at the same time, communicated her artistic desires. We just wandered around, joking around and having a good time. Our engagement photos just turned out beautiful and totally captured us at that point in our lives. Eight months later Elyse shot our wedding (July). I just saw all the photos today, and they are absolutely gorgeous. I am so impressed in how much she has improved in such a short time. I cannot wait to be able to use the same awesome photographer as I used for my engagement and wedding shots for maternity, newborn, and family shots down the road. I have absolutely no complaints. Thank you so much, Elyse.

Amazing, highly recommended! Julie was great on multiple fronts. We met her while we were shopping…read morefor venue and she recommended the venue (Stimson-Green mansion) we eventually booked... and her style of photography, my wife's style / decor and venue made it a perfect combination. Very 20s (1920s!). Back to Julie - she was flexible with our schedule and day of delays (multiple wedding party members had new babies). She did ensure we got all the pictures needed. Her style matched perfectly with our aesthetics. She captures the natural action vs. more posed - we had so many funny and emotional pictures from various moments of the day. The second photographer was friendly and great as well. Julie shared some sneak peeks on Instagram and Facebook within a week or so, and got us the full set within 6-7 weeks. She included two sets: low size & resolution versions for sharing with others and a high resolution one for printing. We already printed a bunch (from Costco) including a canvas print - turned out great!

Julie has been an absolute professional the entire time we have been working together. Initially,…read moreshe set up a meeting with my fiancé and me to learn more about us before agreeing to work together which I loved. It gave us the opportunity to get to know one another face-to-face. Once we decided to move forward with working together, she was communicative and responsive to all of our questions. She offered guidance and recommendations to us when considering different aspects of our wedding. We scheduled our engagement shoot with Julie and the weather was questionable. We kept in touch days, and even hours, leading up to our shoot to confirm our plans. We brought our dog along to include in our photos and Julie handled her so well, giving her treats to cooperate and literally took the leash when getting shots of just my fiancé and me. She was creative and we loved the direction she took. Once the photos came back we were in love! She was able to capture us (non-models) and our dog beautifully and we have been happily sharing with family and friends in anticipation of our big day. When the COVID-19 situation became an immediate threat to our wedding plans, Julie was one of the first to reach out and check-in on my fiancé and me and was adamant to work with us on whatever we decided. Eventually we decided to postpone our wedding and she was flexible with us. I cannot wait to have Julie capture our big day!

He is very quick at snapping photos, which is perfect for families with squirmy kids. His artistic style feels very candid - capturing the moments of walking, talking, etc. with minimal staging! He also has a keen eye for capturing the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest; knowing when to place us behind draping tree leaves, or in a field of tall grass, or with a lush forest line behind us, etc. These distance shots will certainly make beautiful large-print canvases! He is the perfect fit for couples who want the scenic beauty of their environment captured alongside them. Great work Daniel!!!

I loved how his baby daughter tried to cheer up my son who was particularly cranky that evening. We loved his photos and they turned out to be exactly what we wanted.

Daniel and his wife were very nice to my parents and my parents were extremely happy about how their photos with their grandchild turned out to be. I think this is the first time that my parents have ever been part of a photoshoot and they loved it :-) We highly recommend Daniel and we will definitely be working with him in the future as well.
