Heidi is absolutely incredible! I am a dietitian who was looking for a photographer in St Louis who…read morecould create some brand work for my San Francisco company. I posted to my social media for recommendations and when I looked at Heidi's website, I immediately knew it was her who I wanted and who would be able to create photos that were up to par with the west coast's creativity! I was very adamant about having photos that were outside of the box and not just someone standing against a tree with my arms folded (we've all seen this!). Heidi's work is effortless. She not only is extremely talented (I told her what I wanted and she created INSANELY good photos and added tons of amazing creative shots I never would've thought of)- but she is also a blast! She provides awesome direction and is a ton of fun, making sure you feel comfortable to ensure getting those candid moments! I could not have been more happy with the work Heidi did and will definitely be calling her for more. Everyone at my California company was beyond impressed and they, along with my friends and family, thought I went to California to get the photos done- now that's a compliment!! She also got my photos to me THAT day (sneak peek!), and the entire photo set less than a week after the shoot. Thank you Heidi, see ya next time!!

I HATE having my picture taken. That being said, I decided to take one for the team (aka my…read morefamily), and attempt to have a professional come in to document our growing brood. I was half convinced we'd end up with at least one of us crying in each shot, one with their eyes closed, and one hitting someone else. But Heidi made this such an easy endeavor- she's so fun and great with the kids, and most of all, everything felt relaxed and natural. I really dislike overly posed or contrived looking photos, but everything came out looking so real. No cheesy poses or smiles! She even managed to get some good ones of me! She really captured the personality of our family. Needless to say, she's been taking our annual family photos ever since. THE BEST!

Traci is amazing!! She took my senior photo while I was in high school, and when I needed my…read morecollege graduation photos, there's no one else I could think of to take them than her. She always makes you comfortable and confident when shooting with her, and always a fun time! And her photos are beautiful every time! Definitely recommend her!

I've used Traci as my photographer for my wedding, baby pictures, family portraits, etc. She always listens and makes us feel comfortable, and pays attention to detail.

My husband and I loved The Rowlands as our wedding photographer and videographers. They were so…read morefriendly, made us feel so comfortable, so easy to work with, and EXTREMELY talented. We HIGHLY recommend hiring them as your photographer and videographer. We can't thank them enough for all that they did for us and for capturing such a special time in our lives, we will cherish these pictures forever! Thanks again friends. We hope to see y'all again one day!

We call her the camera-whisperer, as she is able to capture spectacular moments and emotions that elude the rest of us. And did I mention her sense of humor? A bonus and yet another gift! She's the best. Thats all.

April did our in-home newborn/family photo shoot after the birth of our son last month, and I…read morecouldn't recommend her more highly! There are few people I would feel comfortable welcoming into our home during such a tender, vulnerable time, but April is definitely one of them. She is unfailingly positive and kind as well as talented, and she has a gift for setting people at ease to get the best possible shots. (We're an awkward bunch, and don't make this easy!) As both an educator and a mother herself, April is so good with kids, and was very understanding of the needs of both our six year old and our newborn. Her background as a wedding photographer translates readily into family portrait photography, as she is able to draw out the love between family members and showcase the best qualities of the relationship between two people.

I am SO glad that I chose April as our photographer for engagement photos. My fiance and I traveled…read morefrom Orange County to Tempe, AZ for our photo session so that we could take the photos on the ASU Campus where we met. The search for photographers was overwhelming and the list was long! I emailed many photographers whose prices were too high or they simply didn't respond. I finally came across April and was instantly drawn to the soft, simple beauty of her photos. She responded quickly and her prices were great! April took the time to speak to me on the photo, text, and over email several times before our photo session. She got to know my fiance and I through a thorough questionnaire that was so fun to fill out. She even customized our photo package to best meet our specific requests and vision for our photos. On the day of the shoot, April arrived early and was already BEYOND prepared with many ideas for our photos. She helped us get comfortable in front of the camera quickly and seamlessly! I was shocked at how quickly she helped us loosen up and have a great time! Throughout the shoot she incorporated our opinions and ideas while also including her own creative vision. The result was a wide range of beautiful photos that we will treasure forever. She went ABOVE AND BEYOND to incorporate every photo that we wanted as well as the plethora of ideas and inspiration that she had. It was a GREAT experience and I feel like April really captured US through her lens. We received our photos much earlier than expected. Every single one turned out beautifully. I am SO thrilled that I chose April to photograph our engagements. BOOK WITH HER! YOU WON'T REGRET IT!

Most recently, Christina captured senior photos of our daughter, before her graduation. Christina was most helpful, and also accommodating with respect to her time, making herself available around poor weather, to be available when sunsets surprised us. And arriving on-location, in Castlewood State Park and other venues. Christina worked with our daughter to discuss the images she sought, to work on positioning and poses, and backgrounds. Christina captured a plethora of photos and shared them with us via DropBox, and she also makes prints that you request. Our daughter is very happy and thankful for the great photos Christina captured. A couple years back, Christina captured some wonderful couples' photos of my wonderful wide and me - great photos we love and display proudly. This reminds me that we should get together and capture some new photos, soon! Christina can provide you with many wonderful photos, of individuals, and couples. Thanks, Christina / Klings & Things!!! - - - - - - - -
