Karolina McLean Photography - Charlottesville, Virginia

We had such a wonderful experience with Karolina! We did two mini sessions in her studio, one pregnancy with my husband, 3 year old and myself. Then another newborn/ family shoot with our daughter. Her pricing was affordable and there was more than enough time and options to get some amazing pictures. The photos turned out beautiful, it was hard to just choose 10!

She had many adorable outfits to choose from for all of us in her studio. She had a lot of toys to distract our 3 year old with, and she was so patient during the whole process. She gave direction very well and her studio was cozy and comfortable to get some great shots.

The natural light from her studio was great and she really knows her angles well to get some intimate and fun shots. We had a great time, our photos are so special and will last generations. I can't wait to print them out and give them as gifts as well.

Thanks again Karolina, would absolutely recommend 10/10!

We had a wonderful experience with Karolina! She was easy to work with, engaged our toddler well during the photo shoot, and provided us with beautiful photos! We had such a positive experience with her and would recommend her to anyone! We will definitely be booking with her again in the future.

Karolina has been capturing my family photos for the last 4 years. She has such a welcoming and calming personal style that puts everyone at ease (moms + kiddos) during shoots. Her sessions are well planned (location - always has a variety), managed and always on time. I look forward to working with her every year! We have so many great photographers and her style (lighting, editing, angles) always have me coming back for more!

Karolina did such a wonderful job with our maternity photos! She goes on location, knows exactly where to go, and provides dresses! In addition, she was great with directing poses. So worth it!!

I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Karolina. She did both my maternity and newborn sessions and I have been beyond blown away. Not only does she create the most stunning images that I will cherish forever, but she is also so kind and professional. Her studio location is dreamy and she provides you with a client closet if you'd like, taking the stress of buying/finding your own outfits out of the equation if that's something you need. Karolina also had lots of options for my husband and newborn in her client closet which helped when we decided some different options were nice. She is an expert at finding things that coordinate well together. With my newborn session, as a new mom, she knew exactly what to do to make me feel at ease and all the tips and tricks to make my newborn comfortable and to calm him when he got fussy. She never rushed us and made us feel like we were her most important clients. I can't wait to use her again for my next family session! (See photo that gives the most perfect representation of how fun and wonderful she made our experience. :))

Karolina was amazing to work with for our son’s first birthday cake smash photos! She is really great at getting the babies to smile which was much appreciated. She also had a ton of clothes there to choose from and a helium tank to blow up some balloons! I’d highly recommend working with her, I’m sure we will again for future photos 🙂

Honestly so blown away with our pictures and experience with Karolina! Her studio was so cute and had toys and snacks to help with my kids. Plus her client closet was adorable and put together the cutest look for our pictures. My kids are little and wiggly and she worked so well with them and made amazing photos despite their wild behavior. These photos will be cherished mementos for years to come!

Over the past few years, Karolina has been the talented photographer behind our family portrait sessions, consistently delivering stunning images that we cherish and proudly display. Her ability to create a relaxed and genuine atmosphere helps us to shed any awkwardness and capture authentic smiles in our family photos.
My recent photo shoot at Karolina's studio was a truly exceptional experience. She is a genuine artist who skillfully captures natural beauty and makes you feel extraordinary in front of the camera. Her studio is beautiful, filled with natural light, and has a cozy and inviting atmosphere. I highly recommend Karolina for your next photoshoot!
