"I have nothing but great things to say about Karysa at Bluminessence Photography. She made us feel so comfortable during our couples photoshoot and we were very impressed by how the photos turned out. I would recommend her time & time again!"

" My partner and I were lucky to have Karysa to take photos of us! It all started with a discussion of epic ideas that were brought by Karysa, from background to props. During the photoshoot, we felt so comfortable and had fun conversations while Karysa was working her magic. She is highly professional and respectful. We were guided throughout the whole session to achieve the best angles and never were left to wonder by ourselves.
