She was great with our toddler during both sessions (maternity photos were taken outside and a local barn property and newborn photos were taken at our home). She is very talented, friendly, professional and responsive to e-mails/questions, etc. She was also patient and accommodating when I asked to change the newborn session date multiple times because of uncertainty around the timing of our scheduled induction. We are in love with all of the photos she took for us and are amazed by the shots she was able to capture. We know they're photos we will cherish forever. We definitely plan to use Kathleen for our future family photographs. My husband and I highly recommend Kathleen!

Our shots are natural and beautiful, bring out the best of both of us, and we could not have asked for anything better. We both cannot wait for our wedding to get here so she can work her magic once again. I will update my review after the wedding shots come back and gush some more about how much we have loved working with her! Thank you, Caren, for bringing out the best of us in our engagement shoot! We can't wait for the wedding!

I was looking for a professional photographer to do an outdoor portrait session with my family. We…read moreran into lots of photographers out there but many were basically all the same. Same shots, all boring pictures with no imagination (sit down, turn left, face front). Then through a friend we heard of Caren Morris. We found her website and loved her past work, it was exactly what we were looking for. Called and left a message on her voicemail and my call was returned in about an hour. Her prices were extremely reasonable and we discussed what I wanted was some modern family portraits that we could put up in our new house. We discussed the shoot for a bit and we booked. On the day of the shoot Caren was there waiting for us at the park we decided to meet at. As discussed she brought some cool props to aid in getting our creative juices flowing! Caren was super easy to work with and had some great ideas as to what would look great. She was able to keep the mood light and keep everyone engaged. After seeing the final products (just arrived in the mail today) they are awesome! Not only the pictures but the presentation of them to us were on a cute little flashdrive in one of the nicest packages. Really, I was expecting a flash drive in an envelope so this was a pleasant surprise. I recommend Caren Morris to anyone in the area, she was one of the best photographers we've come across.

I recently had a maternity photoshoot with Anna, and the experience was exceptional from start to…read morefinish. If you are looking for a photographer who perfectly balances artistic talent with incredible organizational skills, I cannot recommend her enough. Anna's communication is top-tier. We began coordinating months in advance, and she was proactive every step of the way. She acted as much more than just a photographer; she was essentially a creative director. She curated various styles and locations to help me find the perfect vision, assisted with dress selection, and even organized hair and makeup. During a busy and stressful time, having Anna manage the logistics and timelines was a huge relief. During the session, she made us feel completely comfortable and at ease, which truly reflected in the final images. The photos turned out exactly as I had envisioned -- actually, they were even better. Anna has a gift for capturing the moment perfectly. We were so impressed with the entire process that we have already booked our newborn session with her!

We have had five family sessions with Kari - one of them maternity and one with a newborn and we…read moretreasure the moments she captured. First of all, she makes it fun. She is warm, easy to connect with and feel relaxed around. She has a very contagious laugh which I believe is a necessary asset in a photographer. She is great with kids and creative at keeping toddler's attentions. At a newborn session with my week old son, I wanted some bare bottomed pictures. As soon as his diaper came off he unloaded all over her. She didn't even bat an eye. Just chuckled, whipped out her own wipes and went right along with our session. She comes to each session with her own ideas but always asks us what our vision is. She is creative with her shots and editing but not so out there that it seems unrealistic. She captures moments that are unexpected. My little tot was not thrilled for one of our sessions. Older sister sat down next to him with a look on her face that could only be described as a preschooler eye roll at little brother's tantrum. Kari captured that moment and knew it would be a picture that would make us smile. She has sent us walking to our next shot location and stood behind to sneak photos of us walking and hand holding. Some of these informal pictures of our family are what we cherish the most. Kari actually cares deeply about her clients, which is why she has so many repeat clients who come back to her at their next phase of life. I also respect her as a photographer because she uses the talent she has to volunteer for some incredibly meaningful causes. I would recommend her without hesitation.

When I got married I struggled to find a photographer who understood the angles and posing of a plus sized bride and I was unhappy with my photos from that day. Now pregnant I was having the same worries and felt like I just couldn't love my maternity photos no matter who did them. I was so wrong!!! I had tears in my eyes when I received my sneaks, she made me look so beautiful! Even before I saw any finished images though, I left her studio in Mill Creek feeling so special and optimistic! The session was very quick (less than an hour) and she provided three different outfit changes from her gorgeous closet of gowns! One in particular felt so luxe and everyone I show it to wants to know where it's from. I would highly recommend Melissa for her maternity photography services who are plus sized or not- she will make you sparkle and laugh! I'm even more excited to meet my new baby girl now!

She was very comfortable to work with, very helpful in putting together a great time table for our day based on the things we wanted to try to fit in. And it actually was built in a way where we brainstormed additional ideas on how we wanted our day to go that we hadn't thought of sooner. The day of our wedding, she was so personable, encouraging, knew the right shots to take, and the best routes to go. All of our guests thoroughly enjoyed her happy and friendly personality, as did we. We received about 60+ preview shots less than 48 hours after parting ways with her, and they look so incredibly stunning. I'm a snob when it comes to photographers and photography, and no joke, Amy Galbraith is more than a pro. She's someone you can truly trust your day with, and hopefully we can find another opportunity to work with her again in the future!

I've never had photos taken professionally by a photographer so I felt really nervous before but she was super kind and helped me feel more at place and asked a lot of questions during the shoot so there wasn't any awkward silence. She also had a lot of suggestions what to do with my hair and hands so there's a lot of good variation with the pictures. After she took photos of me I completely forgot why I had been so nervous in the first place. I had a good time. The photos came out great and my family and I were super pleased with all of them :) Coming from the perspective of a senior who got photos taken by Amy, I approve!!
