If you can book Katy to photograph for you- whether it be for a wedding, new baby, party, business,…read moreor anything else- consider yourself lucky. Katy is one of the most charming and laid back yet professional people I have ever had the pleasure to work with. She starts off by getting a really good idea of what you're looking for, and then helps you get just that. She did our engagement photos and wedding photos. After hearing our likes and dislikes, she suggested several places for the engagement photos to be taken and the place we chose from her was spot on. She was irreplaceable when it came to planning the wedding day. We needed a plan for the day, plus a backup plan for bad weather, plus a backup plan if COVID completely made us have to rearrange the day- and she helped us make all 3 plans so that we could still have a beautiful day and get beautiful photos. That was so helpful for me who was planning a wedding without assistance. Katy is funny and kind- she wants to get to know you and is easy to talk with. During our small reception she was in the background taking photos, but during our more "one on one" time with her she was direct and helpful. We were feeling really awkward about having engagement photos taken- but worry not! Katy will pose you in ways that look and feel natural, not stuffy or awkward. And seriously- our photos are AMAZING. We are still waiting on our full collection of wedding photos but she sent us a few as a sneak peek and we can not get enough of them. We feel so grateful to have had someone so carefully and lovingly document these important mile stones in our lives and we most certainly plan to use her more in the future. Thank you Katy!

Sarah Postma rocks!…read more She did an amazing job capturing our proposal. Had K not pointed her out after popping the question, I never would have known she was there taking pics of us! In fact, when he pointed to her, my immediate instinct was to think that she was one of our friends because she waved and looked so friendly. Not only was Sarah kind and responsive throughout the communication process of setting things up for the big surprise, but another plus was the option to pay via credit card online. We are extremely pleased with the output of her work! Creative angles, perfectly timed snapshots of our expressions, and overall, flawless execution! I really appreciate the logistics of it all too. She had to arrive with plenty of time, keep an eye out for us, and really work under pressure! A USB of both color and black and white photos was mailed to us with a personalized handwritten card within 2 weeks, and oh! The preview of a few key photos emailed that very night was an awesome perk! The only part we're bummed out about is that she wasn't available for our wedding day!

The photos pop with superb lighting, excellent backdrops, and the subjects' personalities. Sarah took our engagement and wedding photos. We were impressed during our first meeting with her by her portfolio and genuine kindness. Our engagement shoot was fun. Sarah directed us and always kept an upbeat, positive attitude that really set the tone for the evening. The day of the wedding, Sarah and her assistant Beckie came early to take "getting ready" photos of both parties. Then, we headed to a nearby park to take wedding party photos. Sarah and Beckie continued to keep the energy light and happy throughout the 2 hour shoot before the wedding. The wedding ceremony, reception, family and dance photos are exceptional. Sarah and Beckie captured hundreds of memories, laughs, and moments of joy. They meshed well with the wedding party and felt more like guests than hired photographers. I can't stress enough how wonderful Sarah made the whole experience feel. My husband and I have looked through the library of photos dozens of times and still find hidden gems. Sarah truly has a passion for her work and was dedicated in her effort to preserve this important event. Thank you, Sarah, for all you have done and we hope to run into you in Bellingham!

In terms of wedding day investment, Courtney Bowlden was the best money spent the entire day. She…read morewas more than a photographer. She was a huge resource for vendors, she was a calming presence to our family and friends, she even helped me restyle my hair for my reception in under 5 minutes. (I actually liked it more than before!) Courtney was warm, professional, enthusiastic and made us feel extremely special on what could've been a hectic day. Her photos were positively magical and so romantic. A perfect blend of candid moments (that we seriously cherish) and effortlessly directed photos...where she made absolutely everyone look good. We feel incredibly lucky to have our day documented by this artist. She was phenomenal and unforgettable.

We chatted on the phone first and knew she was perfect. Courtney rolled with the punches alongside us when we had to postpone our wedding from June to August, and went from 250 guests to 30 of mostly family members due to COVID. She kept us laughing and comfortable the day of, and I could not be more grateful. Courtney has a ton of industry knowledge and local wedding vendor intel. She offered to help with other vendors, planning advice, and would even just check in with us to see how we were coping with all the changes due to COVID. When it comes to the photography, wow. We were blown away at the beautiful natural light, how many candids, and beautiful shots, nothing was missed. I would definitely recommend Courtney, she's amazing!

We signed a contract with Lillian Jean and paid a deposit to book her. Had a pretty-consultation…read morewhere we brainstormed location ideas. She promised to send a few to us following the call. We never heard from her. Upon reaching out again she apologized and stated she had a death in the family. But indicated she'd still do our session as scheduled. It is the day of the session and we have emailed,texted, called and tried to reach on various social media and have heard nothing. She has completely ghosted us with our money and a signed contract. We feel hurt and disappointed and upset by this level of unprofessionalism.

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!
