My sister was getting proposed to two days out, so this was a last minute booking. K Michael was incredible! He reached out within 10 minutes of booking the appointment and was reassuring, informative, SUPER communicative, professional, and exactly what we needed! He was in contact with me from the get go and arrived to the proposal early to make sure he was hidden in plain sight. He captured the proposal moment perfectly and was able to take photos of the happy couple afterwards. My sister stated "It was so so special and perfect and I am over the moon about everything." He really helped capture the moment for her, I could not be more grateful. Especially on such short notice.

I booked a “just a headshot” session and had backdrop editing added to a photo to match my employer’s request. (This isn’t included in the “just a head shot” session but was an added service.) There was always clear and concise communication to understand what I wanted, which is tremendously appreciated. This is my first photo shoot as a young adult, and I was really unsure what to expect. However, after this session, I can definitively say the quality of work is unmatched and I will refer all of my friends. Each pose was carefully explained and I was guided patiently throughout the entire session. I never felt rushed, uncomfortable, or unsure what I was doing. The photo editing turn around was very quick and quite frankly, after looking at the shoot photos, I feel beautiful. The editing is tasteful, and my features were accentuated in a way I don’t believe I’ve ever seen before. I look stunning, and feel beautiful. I cannot recommend this company enough. Do not hesitate to book here.
