We hired Kari/OP Photography to capture our daughter's 1st birthday party and it was such a stress free experience! Mind you, I had looked and looked, sent multiple messages to photographers and couldn't find but a couple who offered this type of service. Kari was one of the first to respond and was friendly right out the gate.
This was our first time having a party captured by a professional photographer and we cannot recommend it enough! We weren't quite sure what to expect, but the results didn't disappoint. It was so nice to NOT be on our phones (trying to take pictures/videos), rather we got to enjoy the party and spend time with family. Working with Kari was so great. She always responded quickly to my messages, was open to my ideas and super friendly! Even though this was our first time working together, it felt like she was just another part of the family. She blended in, yet managed to capture some beautiful photos. We even had some time at the end of the party, when all the activities were over, and Kari graciously took some photos of the family as well as offered to take anyone's picture that wanted them.
If you are on the fence about paying for a professional photographer to capture your loved one's party, don't be! It was worth it a thousand times over and I wish I would have done it for my other child's first birthday! I look forward to working with Kari in the future, she's great with kids, friendly, professional and creates beautiful memories!
