Andy King is absolutely amazing!!! He just took our family portraits with 4 kids 4 and under and he nailed it. He made our photo shoot so much fun. The kids even had fun taking pictures. He not only captured great portraits he got the sweetest candids too.

Andy is by far the best!!! He has shot two of my cousins weddings so deciding on my photographer was a no brainer. His outgoing personality is contagious, and made my husband and I feel like family from the first time we met with him. You wont ever feel like a client with Andy! Thank you for capturing unforgettable moments on our most special day. I wouldnt have wanted to be kicked out of a CrossFit gym downtown with any other photographer.

We booked Andy for a mini family photo session and the pictures turned out just perfect. He was so much fun to work with and great at getting our little one to smile for the pictures. Highly recommend!
