I'm not a big fan of having my photo taken but was pleasantly surprised with how much I loved them. They turned out very professional and high quality. Her space is super inviting too and conveniently located in NE Minneapolis, with easy to navigate parking. I would definitely recommend Kyra for all of your photography needs!Posted on 鄒淳如(Chun-Ju Tsou)Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I met Kyra during a headshot event on campus at UMN. She is very good at making the other person feel comfortable, and her pictures are stunning! Very personable, efficient, great at directing the person, and she's easy to work with. She got the pictures to us very quickly and I was very impressed by them! I highly recommend herPosted on Allison BellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kyra shot my book launch party and did an amazing job! I look forward to hiring her again in the future.Posted on Carrie KyungTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kyra is so organized, yet relaxed and conscientious about her work. She had a clear plan, but was willing and able to change things up. She made the experience fun and authentic while helping create poses and looks that worked well with the scenery and photographed perfectly. The review of photos was laid back, allowing plenty of time to pick our favorites and feel no pressure to go past our budget. The photos were so amazing, though, so the budget was happily reevaluate so we could get more! Kyra was great and made the whole process (4 hours of travel and photos) go smoothly and she created incredible memories for us in her art. Thanks, Kyra!Posted on Jingyi LuTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. love the images,the photographer is awesome!
