"I am so glad we chose David to photograph our wedding. He was so kind and sincere when we first met him to discuss our options. He worked with us to get exactly what we wanted within our budget. When he took our posed pictures he was kind enough to let the anxious family members get their shots in too. We were impressed at the wedding reception with how he sort of blended in, he was always in the background but taking wonderful pictures the whole time. We love all of the candid shots and reliving all that happiness by looking at his pictures. His second photographer, Tina Silva, was also amazing. She felt like an aunt, so sweet and encouraging while taking pictures. Her photos were just as impressive, and again, we barely knew she was there capturing these wonderful moments. I would gladly use David or Tina again, and I will recommend them to anyone that asks. Thanks again for the wonderful pictures!"
"Tag line for this photography studio is "When you want the best." It is true . . . they are the best and primarily a wedding photography business, but I am sure that any event would be welcome. I recently went with "friends" to see their engagement pictures done by Kevin's. I figured there would be 20 or so photos to select from and probably only 5 - 10 would be really good. WRONG! There were at least 100 and 98 of them were fantastic! The next step was to decide which ones they wanted . . . I was really glad it wasn't my decision. After much debate and two cups of coffee for me, a decision was made.In addition to the incredible photography, the customer service (almost a bigger deal to me in any business) is wonderful. They left us alone to review the photos online and were there to help and answer questions when needed. As we walked in the door we were offered coffee or soft drinks. We never felt pressured or needing to move along for the next customers.One of the many highlights of this business is finding it. . . . the building is painted like a zebra . . . yes, a zebra! Driving down the street in Albuquerque, where everything is basically brown adobe colored, and then you come to a building painted like a zebra . . . . believe me you will NOT miss it. (I believe that THE Kevin has done a lot of photography in Africa . . . )I would unconditionally recommend Kevin's for any event, especially a wedding. If you are having a kid's birthday party, a promotion celebration, a 50th year anniversary, a baptismal, or any kind of family celebration - call Kevin's and make an appointment to go in and talk to them. You will not be disappointed."
"We have used Kim Jew for the Senior Class Pictures and for at least 2 family sittings over the years. We have never been disappointed. Mr. Jew made our last sitting so much fun; it took place last winter holiday season. The time flew by, and we had so many beautiful portraits to choose from. It was difficult to decide. He is a master. He got everyone looking great at the same time! We would highly recommend this photographer to anyone."
"Professional, easy going, and very quick to produce an excellent finished product! She makes clients feel completely at ease-- even people who don't like having their pictures taking enjoy being shot by Beth! Her photos are fun, romantic, and nothing short of gorgeous!"
"Guillermo was absolutely amazing. We got married 4 years ago, and I still look back fondly on the entire experience. Through his photos, my wedding's personality really came out. When I was planning, I thought a few times about how I wouldn't know how my wedding would "look" until it was over. As the bride, the day-of is such a whirlwind, and there is so much that I just didn't get the chance to see, and it warms my heart every single time I look through my photos and re-experience the best day of my life. I knew that the wedding photos could never be re-created, and I knew that I wanted to go with the best photographer in our budget. Guillermo was that and so much more. BEST decision of my entire wedding experience, right along with the venue itself."
"My family has used Nicole's services several times and have come to think of her as our "family photographer." A couple of years ago, we managed to get 16 people from my extended family together for Christmas pictures for our mom. Mom didn't like the way she looked in a couple of hers, so Nicole met us again and did some re-takes. All the pictures turned out beautiful and each family was happy. Most recently she met us on the college campus and took some great shots of my son who was graduating. She stages photographs so well and we got a lot of great shots. Nicole even put together photo invitations for us to use for the graduation. She is so easy to work with and works with a photo lab that provides great prints at reasonable prices. She does beautiful work and captures the personality of the subject."
"I have had the pleasure of Blue Rose photographing various celebrations for over 23 years. If there is an important life event Blue Rose is my first choice in quality photographs. My daughter is graduating in a year and I am excited for Blue Rose to photograph this accomplishment. I was extremely pleased to see that this company still has a lay-away plan. These were a dying thing 23 years ago, and almost unheard of except at Christmas time now, but Blue Rose still offers lay-away. When planning our wedding I was told over and over, to get the best photographer! Sandy did an amazing job, and the lay-away allowed me to afford all I wanted and pay over time! Shop the other guys and then see Blue Rose for the most amazing photos of your important, one of a kind event. Blue Rose offers many different styles and formats for your photographs. I would like to marry all over again to order the new books being offered! I almost forgot there are canvas portraits available too!"
"Somehow, I've forgotten to leave a review for Lauren Cherie Photography. We have our newborn photos done with her as a gift. It was the BEST gift I've ever received and by far my favorite. It was great to get photos of my son, in special outfits, as a family, and separate as newborn. We are going in tomorrow for Smash Cake pictures for his first birthday. I wouldn't trust anyone more than her family during this time, she was a former nurse so she is well aware of safety and she works well with children. We took baby yoda pictures before that was even a thing! August of 2019. I'll update with our smash cake photos once we get them."

One of the best wedding decisions we made, was using Kevin. Our wedding pictures came out STUNNING! Spring 2013 we took engagement pictures with Kevin in old town Albuquerque. Once we got the proofs back, we knew this is who we would hire for our wedding. What I really love about Kevin is how daring and creative he is. He ask my husband and I to stand on the ledge of a building for the perfect shot. As nervous as I was, I'm so happy we did it. We ended up with the most iconic wedding photo ever on top of the banquet loft building in downtown Albuquerque (photo attached). I highly recommend Kevin and his team.

The best in the business! There is nowhere else I would trust to capture the essence of family. We have always done portraits with Kim Jew, they are the most recognized name for a reason! Justin, is one of the most charismatic individuals you will ever meet. He will bring laughs and smiles to your party, whether it be family or business colleagues. He truly knows how to set the stage and capture the moment at hand. Simply the best. Nuff said.

From the moment we first had contact with Guillermo we knew he would be a perfect photographer for our wedding day. We completely fell in love with his natural style of photography and ability to capture the beauty in a moment.On the day of our wedding, he showed up earlier than planned so that he could snap some getting ready photos which turned out to be some of our favorite pictures from the day! Its hard to put in to words how blown away we were by his work on our big day. There were so many incredible and special moments that he managed to capture so perfectly, and so naturally, which is just what we were looking for.All of my guests commented on how nice he was to work with. He was able to direct the group photos without being intrusive or overbearing and throughout the day he blended in to the scene perfectly. He used every lighting opportunity he could find to capture a range of photos, and was constantly on the look out to use the scenery and grounds of the venue to the fullest. His passion and enthusiasm to capture every moment shone all throughout, and he absolutely blew us away with his talent We couldn't have wished for anything more and we recommend Guillermo for your Big Day!Thank you Guillermo.Sonia & Jonathan Trujillo

Always impressed! I have had the opportunity to work with Blue Rose on quite a few events. Photographers are always professional, timely and super sweet. Photos are of high quality and very beautiful! Would definitely recommend.

"This was an awesome experience! The ranch is idyllic, I wanted to stay forever. The guest cabin was very comfortable, homey, and unique in design. The ladies, Justyn and Mel have created a peaceful and relaxing retreat while providing fun and excitement. The horses are beautiful. They have a wonderful place to live, play, and work. They are loved and very well cared for. They are very lucky to have been rescued by Justyn and Mel. The horses are at different levels in their rehab and training. I am a beginner so Rain was chosen for me to ride. She responded well to commands and showed nice manners, but she wasn't perfect so I was able to work with her on the trail rather than just plodding along. For more experienced riders, there are other mounts that would offer more challenge. The ladies were always alert to my needs and offered instruction and suggestions when required. I learned a lot.The trails and countryside were beautiful. The meals were fantastic! They rock in the kitchen.I plan to do this again and I wouldn't change a thing."
"We had maternity and newborn pictures taken and they were absolutely stunning! I love how she captures in the moment photos so beautifully. Eliza handled our newborn with such delicacy and ease and made sure our place was warm enough for him to be comfortable! On top of that we didnt feel rushed at all, even when I had to take a break to feed the baby. Thank you so much Eliza for the amazing captured moments of our growing family!"
"We did an engagement photoshoot with Bethany in the Sandias. It rained on us and she went above and beyond to make sure we got good shots! She got completely soaked and didn't mind at all. We even had to wait in the car for a while, but she got amazing shots of us afterward! She and her husband are the absolute sweetest! Definitely get your photos with Bethany!!"
"Stephanie was absolutely excellent. Our dog was diagnosed with terminal cancer, so we wanted to get some professional photos done. She worked with us on timing and location because of our dog's fluctuating health. She recommended a beautiful location and was very enthusiastic and prepared for the shoot. You can tell she loves dogs and was very patient with them. She gave great instruction, but also listened to our ideas and requests. Our photos came out better than I could have imagined... she even photoshopped out our dog's leash and you would never know. Thank you Stephanie for capturing such a happy day for our boy"
"My daughter had an express session for her senior pictures. The staff was very professional. I was very surprised at the variety of back drops they had for a short period of time. They did a really great job. The only down side is they are a bit expensive to purchase pictures from."
"this was the worst experience I've ever had! I hired them bc they seemed to have good quality but little did I know that they have absolutely no customer service and they do not know how to treat people with respect. I ordered a guest book and they never asked me to choose the photos for it but instead took it upon themselves to pick them. When I told them that there was some photos my daughter didn't want, all they said is we can cancel the book. I specifically paid for that photo session to not get a guest book !? The family photos were not taken at the reception the day of the quince bc they said that the quinceañera didn't seem like she wanted them. I am the one paying for photography and should have made the choice on that. When I expressed my dissatisfaction with that, Jorge was rude and instead blamed me, and my daughter for that. Their presence seemed forced and it ruined the day! I told him I simply wanted to be acknowledged for the miscommunication and then he said that customers are not always right and that he wouldn't have changed anything or did anything different at the event. I told him it's important to listen to the customers and that essentially they are right and he said that the customer is never right. Just terrible I've never been treated the way he has in my life. I have another quince in 2 years and I do not recommend anyone to hire them. All they care about is the money, they are ridiculously expensive."
"I cannot recommend Michelle highly enough! We were visiting from California with our 3 month old for the Balloon Fiesta and wanted to capture this special time. Michelle was fantastic to work with, very easy communication and quick turnaround time with her beautiful photos. She suggested a family shoot with the early morning sun and hot air balloons as a backdrop and then did portraits of our baby in her home studio. She was professional, has a great eye and was an expert at capturing all of our little one's smiles and expressions. Thank you!"
"Bryan has done so much for my family. He's an absolutely fantastic photographer. He's done my family session, my engagement session, and my wedding. And I absolutely LOVE his work. I will recommend Bryan all day every day. He's so sweet and funny and kept us in a fun upbeat mood throughout our entire session! I will forever use Bryan for my photography needs!"
"We worked with Chris to photograph our property for AirBNB and he exceeded our expectations throughout the experience. First off, he responded to our Yelp inquiry very quickly and was very professional in sharing his experience, pricing, and expectations for the shoot. He was also great about scheduling the time and even followed up the day of to make sure it hadn't fallen off my calendar. He showed up about 10 minutes before the appointment and brought a slew of high end photographic equipment to make sure our suite was presented as well as humanly possible. He spent over an hour capturing every possible angle and was personable and polite. He turned around our photos in less than a week (2 1/2 days) and also made a small tweak at my request in less than a day. And the results are EXCEPTIONAL. Our property looks like a million bucks and will command more bookings and a higher nightly rate now that it's presented so well on Air BNB. Thank you Chris! We will definitely keep you in mind for family photos or our next event."
"Loved our photo session with Diane. She is super welcoming and inviting. Our pictures came out amazing and we have gotten many compliments. The quality of the pictures where really great. She's is good at responding back when you need to get ahold of her. We will definitely be using her again. She up for any kind of new, exciting and creative shoots."
"Stephany is such an amazing photographer! She's photographed me and my now fiancé multiple times and every shoot just gets better!She is so kind and sweet and tailors the shoot to fit your wants and needs and throws in ideas that you may not have thought of! The photos I'm posting don't even do justice to the time and effort she puts into each of her clients!We already have another shoot semi planned with her for our engagement shoot and the details and ideas that we bounce off each other is so fun, I can't wait to set a date for it!You will not regret choosing her for a couples, wedding, elopement, family, or whatever event you want photographed and captured!"
"We loved working with Angela! We had not taken family pictures in some time and shared that we weren't super comfortable in front of the camera. She helped us pose and be comfortable during the session! This photo was our favorite and we are so happy to have it!"
"What a great Christmas photo experience! I had followed the Hartsocks on Facebook and this was our first time doing a photo session. The location Was great. We did santa's 5 minute session it was great. Next time I think we'll add more time. It was rushed. I just wanted the kids to to be able to get comfortable before taking pictures. The crew was great. The place was decorated amazing. We went before thanksgiving so it was a great way to geT the holidays started. We would definitely come back for more seasonal sessions!"
"We had the pleasure of going to see Kate for our daughters newborn photo session. It went amazingly well. Kate was warm and welcoming and her studio was perfect. She has everything you need, so unless you want something special, it is easy to book and go! She is very talented and patient and can get super cute poses of your baby. She also did some family photos for us as well. I am so thankful and happy to have all the beautiful images she took. They will surely be treasured. Thanks Kate!!"
