Years pass and my family and I are still in WA and looking to have another family photoshoot. I just so happened to still have Briana's contact saved in my phone and decided to reach back out. Her photography business has blown up at this point. I will say our second experience with her throughout the entire process has yet again exceeded my expectations. She is kind and patient and so easy to work with. I HIGHLY HIGHLY encourage you to book with her, you will NOT be disappointed. Mahalo nui again Briana, you are nothing short of AMAZING!

Shortly after booking my Autum photo shoot with Anastasiya, she contacted me right away. She asked me all the questions... What my vision was for the photo shoot,; backdrops, styling, wardrobe etc. she took the time to get to know me, and assured me that she would capture something memorable. At this point, I felt at ease working with her. On the day of the photo shoot, meeting her for the first time, was like meeting an old friend. Anastasiya is a ROCKSTAR! The photo shoot was so much fun! She made everything comfortable and took many, many photos! Her turnaround time was very quick. She sent me a couple teasers at first, then sent me a link to view all the photos that same week. They turned out awesome. She listened to me, she knew what I wanted, and she captured it. I reached out to her recently for a real estate staging project. Regardless of bad rainy weather, she came through! The photos she took turned out absolutely beautiful. I'm so happy to know Anastasiya. I support women owned businesses. I highly recommend her to my YELP! Community.

I think I fell in love with her faster than I fell in love with my husband! We hit it off right away! I'm a super camera-shy girl, and she put me at ease from the first shot. That's no easy feat! She blended in with our guests so well that everyone thought she was family or a friend of ours. She captured so many great shots of that day, and I'm so happy I found her! My son is graduating this year, and who else could we hire for his senior photos?? It was so fun meeting up with her again, getting to catch up. It felt like seeing an old friend. We wandered around, and she got the BEST shots of my son that I have ever seen. We just got his photos back, and he won't stop going through them! I can't wait to work with her again!

After experiencing what great work Carl Petersen did for our friend's wedding, I knew I would have…read moreto hire him at some point. When I found out I was pregnant it was the perfect opportunity for maternity photos. It's a tricky thing when you're hiring a photographer because you never know if they are going to capture that feeling/ ambiance you are looking for. More importantly you never know if you'll work well together. If you don't feel comfortable with the photographer or if they don't give you enough direction, the pictures won't turn out. Being a sometime photographer myself, I am pretty picky when it comes to photos. Carl was thorough in giving tips for before the shoot like what to wear, making a Pinterest board, etc. He was very relaxed when we met which made it easy to spend the next 1.5 hrs together. What I appreciated the most is that he took the time to make sure the pose and lighting was just right. He also paid attention to details like my hair or if something was on my dress or patting down weeds. Most importantly, he has the eye for creative shots. He nailed the vibe I was going for. Just look at his photos and you'll know that Tacoma has just scored one of the best photographers out there. Loved my photos. You'll love yours too!

With short notice (just a couple weeks) for a family reunion, Carl accommodated our schedule,…read moreincluding making his schedule tighter for a later client, and produced a folio of memories that literally brought instant tears on picture 1, and just continued from there.

So grateful to have found him and that he was able to fit us in to create a phenomenal set of lasting memories.

Her emails prior to the shoot were organized and informative. She was very organized and efficient in the way she ran the shoot. The clincher: I am 4 months postpartum, I am by no means a model, and my confidence was low prior to this shoot. She delivered the photos before I could even sweat what they looked like, and oh my goodness they are beautiful!!! I remember looking at her work and thinking, wow this is great, but I won't look like that... Surprise!!! She managed to capture my fussy 4 month old baby gorgeously and made me feel confident again. She was so patient as he cried and even helped with soothing him and finding a blanket that would work with my look. She knew my "angles" immediately and was so great at subtly directing me and also finding the right light in different parts of the park. Her editing is so on point. Sorry for the novel. Do not hesitate to book Anne.

This says a lot about Anne's skills as my fiancé can be difficult to capture and actually look natural. He tends to squint & make unnatural faces. I was extremely happy with the amount of photos and options we had to choose from! The turn out was great, we both love how beautiful the photos are. It will be tough deciding which photos to choose! In addition to her photography skills she was very accommodating! She was willing to travel anywhere from Tacoma to Seattle. And she made it clear she'd travel even further if we wanted. She also was great in dealing with us. I was feeling embarrassed with my fiancé as he was being a bit difficult(in my opinion!). She listened to his concerns/ideas and took them well. She lifted my mood too! I felt bad that my mood started rocky as I was frustrated that my fiancé was not going with the flow of her ideas. She was so amazingly patient and worked hard to get us both in the right mood for our photo shoot! I will never forget our experience. It's pretty comical to look back on now. And truly a memory I will treasure. I've lived in the Tacoma area for about 9 years. During our shoot I discovered places I never knew about! She did her research and made sure to give us an awesome experience! Thank you, thank you Anne!! Couldn't imagine a better experience than what you provided. I look forward to utilizing you for future photo shoots!

Via my Google review: Let me just start by saying Jenny is PHENOMENAL at what she does. Our biggest…read moreconcern with finding a photographer was being made to feel comfortable while posing for staged photos - such an awkward task. But Jenny made us feel at ease the entire time. And that certainly showed in our photos! The day of our wedding she was on top of everything. It took a lot of the stress off us, wrangling family members in for photos and such. She also helped us fill out our marriage license - who knew it would be so confusing with a few drinks on board. She put a friendly reminder in my ear to pay vendors at the end of the evening too. I was SO thankful for this! My mind had been preoccupied making sure to say hello to all our guests that I easily would have forgotten, and beyond embarrassed myself. Kudos to Jenny! She is a knockout at what she does!!

Her ability to capture emotions and lighting in such a natural way is so impressive. We had a ton of fun at our engagement shoot even though it wasn't something we necessarily planned on doing, but we're so glad we did because we got comfortable with Jenny and with being in front of a camera. She was above and beyond helpful at our final meeting in finalizing our timeline and offering a few tips to make the day go smoothly. Our wedding was on a family farm on Whidbey Island and Jenny and her second photographer graciously caught an early ferry to make sure they would be there on time. She was able to scope out the ceremony space before starting to shoot our getting ready photos and the day just went so well from there. She was patient with a few changes we made from our final meeting and so generously helped with things here and there throughout the day, including bringing us a small plate of our apps while we signed our marriage license :) At the end of the night she made sure we got any last shots we wanted before she took off and our sneak peek was up the next day before we left for our honeymoon! The day after our wedding my husband and I couldn't stop saying "Jenny is the best". Seriously, hire Jenny, you will not regret it!

After 10 months of waiting and not even an apology just a zip file in my email with 8 pictures in it. We will not use her again and were shocked when we started hearing from other customers that they also had the same issue. Many who still don't have their photos.
