Kia was the utmost professional. She responded on New Year's Day to a rush request for Acting Headshots. She was easy to work with and there were no hidden surprises! And the photos turned out beautiful.

If I could give this photographer 10 stars, I would! I am the owner and founder of a small independent fashion brand based in Delaware. I had been looking to find a good photographer who I could work with regularly for shooting my products with live models. I had talked to other indie brand owners regularly and had heard enough photo shoot disaster stories to make me cautious. I was nervous that the cost would not result in the type of images my brand would be able to use effectively. I had grown frustrated in my search after reaching out to a number of local photographers who seemed irregular in their communication or follow up.
A friend told me to check Thumbtack. I would have never considered using this site; I thought it was for finding plumbers and carpenters! I am so glad I tried it because I may have never found Kia Caldwell otherwise. Wow! What a wonderful outcome! I could not have hoped for a better experience working with Kia. She is professional, punctual, organized and an extremely talented photographer. I was able to speak with her about the goals for brand imagery, color and the narrative of the campaign, before we scheduled the shoot date. I was concerned about working with a mix of models that included experienced professionals and inexperienced first-timers. Kia and her assistant did a wonderful job helping the models get comfortable. Her easygoing manner helped bring out their personality to the benefit of picture and the brand. What has stood out to me most is Kia's ability to get excellent photos in just about any setting indoor or outside.
The resulting photos were spectacular and we wrapped up the shoot in less time than I thought we would need. I could not be happier with the outcome and plan to continue working with Kia and her team for future shoots.
