You Are Raven

Raven has been my photographer on multiple occasions — my high school graduation photos, in a shoot of my brother and I that was gift for my mom and again for personal portraits. Each time she has been, well, freakin awesome.
From the very beginning when I was just inquiring about photos, she was engaged, proactive, and excited. It was definitely clear that her top priority was to make sure the end results were exactly what I envisioned in my mind.
During the shoots she was fun and helpful and always offered creative suggestions. This was especially invaluable for someone like me who doesn’t know what the heck is going on in most pictures — Raven wasn’t just a body behind a camera. She really helped me get the vibe I was looking for with all three shoots we’ve done together whether it be through creative suggestions, bringing props from her own house, or trekking through the woods to find the perfect patch of sunlight.
The most important thing for me is that Raven is time and time again ready to leap at any shoot I throw at her. I tell her what I’m going for and she runs with it — does research on her own, plans color palettes, looks for props, etc. She goes out of her way to make it personal and special, and that is something rare.

I hired Raven to shoot my wedding day back in April 2014, in Gwinnett, GA.
It was very important to me that I got high quality, classy photos that also had an edge to them and weren’t stiff or posed. Raven’s personality is laid-​back, silly, and spunky… a perfect fit when you need someone to help you loosen up, laugh, and smile when you’re usually nervous in front of the photos.
At the same time, Raven is professional and trustworthy. She was always on time when we met beforehand to discuss the shoot and showed up early ready to rock and roll on the wedding day. It was such a relief hiring Raven, and I can’t recommend her enough!

We hired YouAreRaven for our wedding in June 2014. Raven was recommended to us from a friend’s wedding photographer. We feel so lucky to have crossed paths with such a wonderful photographer/​person/​friend.
Not only did Raven’s team travel across the country to shoot our wedding, they were also incredibly professional, personable and gracious. All of the photos from our engagement session and our wedding completely capture our relationship with each other and also the relationships with our families and friends.
I constantly have people commenting on how beautiful the photos are and asking for Raven’s information. They’re always bummed when they find that she is in Georgia! Thanks for everything Raven!
