GIGI KRAUS
PHOTOGRAPHY
KIND WORDS FROM CLIENTS
I don’t even know where to start with this review. I spent the last two years trying to find a female photographer that would make me feel as comfortable as possible due to the nature of the photos I wanted. I wanted to do something special for my significant other and was coming to the conclusion that I would not be able to find a local photographer to meet my needs. I came across Gigi’s website and immediately called her. From the moment she answered the phone, I knew she was the one. She was so comforting and had the most outgoing personality, similar to mine. She invited me in for a consultation and asked me two important questions, what are you looking for in a photographer and what are you looking for in your photos... I came with pictures of ideas that I wanted for my photos and Gigi was as excited as I was for what was to come. She added her recommendations followed by a great, personal conversation and set the date for my actual photo shoot. I was so nervous but she interacted with me every so often up until my photo shoot date with encouraging words. The morning of my photo shoot was incredible. Gigi, her female make up artist and female assistant was so welcoming and inviting. We sat there while I was getting dolled up, had coffee and talked about everything under the sun! It was like a morning coffee date with my friends!! My make up was on point... I can’t even explain how spot on she was with the vision I had for my make up and hair. During the photo shoot Gigi made me feel unbelievably comfortable. It was the most fun I’d ever had getting my pictures taken! She had so many fun and creative ideas. She even did several pictures where my hair was “blowing in the wind”. A week later she had my photos ready for reveal. The pictures were so good that I sat there for an hour indecisive, because they were all THAT GOOD!! I honestly feel that I have developed a friendship for life with Gigi. She is a blessing in disguise and truly wants to give every woman the confidence she deserves to have and show you just how lovely you are, despite how you might feel about yourself. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, Gigi!
