What blew me away was how great she is with kids. My 6-year-old kid usually hates posing for photos, but Kiran took the time to play with him and make him feel comfortable. She managed to get him smiling, laughing, and posing naturally in every single shot! Her creative post-editing skills are top-notch. I couldn't be happier with our photos and highly recommend her to any family looking for a patient, talented photographer!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Kiran for our family photoshoot and our baby’s 9-month milestone session, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience!
From day one, she was incredibly communicative and professional. She shared everything clearly, stayed in touch throughout the process, helped us choose outfits and color-coordinate the whole family (which is no small feat!), and made sure she understood exactly what we were hoping for. She was always open to our ideas and made us feel comfortable and prepared.
On the day of the photoshoot, despite the snowstorm, she was so patient and dedicated. She went above and beyond to capture beautiful moments of our family and had what felt like an endless collection of tricks to make our little one laugh and smile. The pictures turned out absolutely amazing!
Choosing our favorites was honestly the hardest part. We kept saying, "Okay, this is the last one..." about 47 times. 😂 In the end, I gave up and bought the entire album because every single photo was too special to leave behind. Her physical albums are absolutely beautiful, and holding one instantly brought back memories of flipping through my own family's photo albums as a child.
Kiran is truly one of the best photographers in town. Her talent, patience, creativity, and genuine care for her clients really shine through. We highly recommend her, and if we ever need family photos again, she's already stuck with us. 10/10!

What impressed us most was her incredible patience; she handled our kids and my mother-in-law with such grace, making everyone feel relaxed and included in the process. It never felt rushed or stressful, and she managed to capture genuine, beautiful moments. The photos truly reflect our family's personality.

Overpriced, and it looks like it was edited by ChatGPT or something similar. She only posts pictures of a few members, but she should post at least one picture.

Hi Priyanka
I’m really sorry to see this review, especially because I have not had the opportunity to work with you before.
It honestly hurts to read something like this, as a small business owner, I have spent years building my business and reputation with genuine care for my clients and their families. In today’s economy, sustaining a small business is not easy, and reviews like this can be very discouraging. Behind this business is a real person — a woman entrepreneur and a mother — doing her very best every day to support her family and create meaningful experiences for my clients.
My pricing reflects the time, experience, creativity, wardrobe, props, and the personalized service that goes into every session. I hand edit all my images, trying to make it memorable as much as I possibly can for my client. I respect my clients investment in my work and the opportunity given to me is never taken for granted. I put my heart into what I do and truly care about every family that trusts me with their memories.
If you have any questions about my work or services, I would be more than happy to connect and answer them. “Thank you for understanding and supporting small businesses.
