We had such an amazing experience for our first family photoshoot. Sasha not only is an amazing…read morephotographer, but her kid corralling skills are unmatched. I was worried that it wouldn't be possible to get four young children to all look at the camera and smile at the same time, but Sasha is a super hero. She got all four wild children to not only smile and pose, but also to have fun! We had a large group of ten and Sasha was able to capture great group shots, as well as smaller family shots, and solo kid shots. The pictures came out so beautiful! We will definitely be making this an annual family photo tradition!

She has such a calming, natural presence that makes the whole session feel effortless, especially with little ones. Somehow she captures the most beautiful, genuine moments even when we feel like chaos is happening behind the scenes. Our photos are stunning -- the colors, the lighting, the emotion... everything is perfection. Sasha has a true gift and an eye for detail. These are the kinds of images that become family heirlooms. We are so grateful we found her and will absolutely continue booking with her for future milestones. If you're considering booking Sasha, do it -- she's truly the best!

From maternity sessions to newborn shoots and first birthdays for both of my children, she has beautifully documented every milestone. Each photo she delivers is stunning, and they only become more meaningful as my children grow. Looking back at them always brings me so much joy. Truly, once you experience Cathy's work, it's hard to imagine working with anyone else What sets Cathy apart is her incredible attention to detail and organization. She takes the time--before, during, and after each session--to ensure everything turns out perfectly. She's easy to communicate with, genuinely listens to what you want, and goes above and beyond to make it happen. Her studio is also spotless and welcoming, making the entire experience comfortable for everyone. Highly, highly recommend!

Highly recommend Kathleen for newborn and family photography! I decided to get newborn photos done…read morefor my baby when he was 7 days old and I realized we were cutting it close as newborn photos are typically done in the first 14 days of life. Kathleen's assistant Adriana was very helpful in getting us into the studio within a couple of days from the time I contacted them. Her packages and pricing are very fair compared to other studios I had contacted. We decided to do the "Classic" package which allows for both newborn photos and family photos. The booking experience was very straightforward. She provides clear instructions for the process on the photography day. The whole experience on the day of the photos went very smoothly and she was very good at handling baby and making sure he was asleep for the pictures. She also took advantage of his awake moments and captured some really cute awake photos as well. She has a separate room for the newborn photos and a separate room for family photos which I appreciated so that the newborn room always stays clean (she doesn't allow shoes there either) and baby has a quiet/calm space for the photos. Overall great experience with Kathleen!

She swaddled him and he was comfortable.. too comfortable that he wouldn't stop crying when she tried to take it off to take pictures with more skin. Great for him, but she wasn't able to get pictures of him without the swaddles which was unfortunate for me. She was friendly with us and super patient with our little one. Truth be told, she was even better at handling him than us haha. You can tell she is a pro at what she does and she took her time, allowing baby to be nursed when he was fussy and not rushing us at all. There were so many good pictures but they are very pricey so we ended up just getting the basic 8 pictures. Our family pictures turned out so good that even though we mainly wanted the pictures of the baby, we ended up picking 3 of the family poses. Thank you so so much, Rachel and Sweet Me Photography for helping us document such a precious time in our lives.

There's always a litany of reasons, but typically, the most common unifier boils down to one element: the people involved. Unprofessional staff or say, more volatile family members or friends can make or break the experience and the memories. So, I'll stop before this gets too autobiographical and I'll add that, yes, this long-winded intro is my roundabout way of contextualizing Zhihan's amazing service: her amazing professionalism, excellent photography and, above all, her penchant for navigating trickier interpersonal waters were all highly appreciated by my wife and I (and my family!). Zhihan showed up 20 minutes before the time we originally gave her, and she immediately started getting a sense of the work ahead: which family members would be joining later, how many people were onsite at the courthouse that day, and she was also super-nice to our dog. From the first few minutes she started working, I could sense her warmth and enthusiasm. She got a sense of the relationship my wife and I share and sought to capture the essence of our relationship within that short amount of time. In between shots, she gave us enough room to breathe and acquiesced to our weirder demands while slowing down to give us honest, candid advice on which shots would work and what would work even better. I still look back on the great shots she took that day and I'm still all smiles. And then, the interpersonal aspect. I have two sets of step-parents, whose relationship to one another can be best described as poisonously lukewarm. Again, not trying to get too autobiographical (too late?), but it's a testament to Zhihan's intuitiveness and emotional intelligence. The way she worked to devote equal amount of time to each "faction" while ensuring the other group was being adequately communicated to for next shots really impressed me, and like I said, it really went a long way to putting some of my anxieties at ease. In summary, Zhihan was an absolute pleasure to work with and I highly recommend her for her professionalism, her passion, and most importantly, her empathy and ability to be a positive presence in an important family event. Awesome work, Zhihan, and thank you so much!

I wanted a proper family portrait to commemorate the event, and to use as a holiday card. My husband and I are really picky when it comes to aesthetics, so we wanted a photographer with great artistic sensibilities. I was drawn to one particular family portrait on the Art of Lens website. In a short amount of time (literally two days before my son left for the Navy), Brandy got a feel for the situation, what was going on in our lives as well as our tastes, etc. She put a lot of time into location and attire. We were all impressed how hard both Brandy and Julita worked during the shoot. I was particularly impressed with the attention to detail and also the attention to the environment surrounding the subjects: my family! What struck me as super kind was how hard Brandy and Julita worked to return the proofs to me with enough time to send out holiday cards. Much appreciated! : ) !!! I highly recommend The Art of Lens.
