Kira made me feel so comfortable and relaxed! she went with exactly what I had in mind while also "leveling it up" with her own touches and style and experience. It was obvious working with her that she is truly a professional at this. It was so fun working with her! I highly recommend!

Where do I even start??? This started out as an anniversary present for my hubs, but turned into a present for myself. While my husband has ALWAYS been my biggest cheerleader and hype man (whether I’m in a potato sack or formal evening gown)…I never saw myself let alone my body as “attractive”. I’ve had 3 children, gained and then lost 150lbs. Things point to the floor that used to not, typical aging type of a mom. Kira changed the way I viewed myself. The confidence I gained from the these photos, I can’t even put into words. Of course I read previous reviews and thought “good for you girl, but that’s not me”. Ladies….i was wrong. So wrong. I cannot recommend Kira enough. It was worth every penny. If you’re considering having photos taken…DO IT!!!!!
