Lemmon describes her style as whimsical, ethereal and magical, which is evident through her photos. Her popular fairytale sessions are highly customized portrait sessions for children.
“I strive to capture the magic and innocence of childhood, and the personalities of my subjects,” Lemmon said. “A photograph, to me, is a memory. I am hired to preserve time, and I hope to do that in a magical, nonconventional way.”
Lemmon believes she has developed an instantly recognizable photographic style, much of which is due to her editing process.
“It’s what defines my style,” she explained. “It took me a long time to perfect it, but I’ve definitely grown leaps and bounds from my early days.”

Now primarily a wedding and engagement photographer, Beal said she hopes people feel the emotion of her images, which she describes as natural, authentic, dramatic and modern.
“My goal is, and has always been, to capture truth and honesty, no forced moments, just watching moments unfold,” she said.
Once she began specializing in wedding photography, Beal found her niche and creative happiness.
“As a wedding photographer, I am able to see and experience so many different cultures, religions and families. It’s a way of escaping from my world for a few hours and completely (immersing) myself in another. It’s a very rewarding and fulfilling career,” Beal said.

“I love listening to (clients’) stories, and how much they love their pets,” Ku said, noting that no matter one’s background or beliefs, pets are something everyone relates to.
Before each session, Ku meets with her clients to figure out how to approach each session and what kinds of images she’s going to focus on capturing.
“Pets, unfortunately, are with us for too short of a time, and we can’t but help to stupidly fall head over heels in love with them—all while knowing they’re going to break our hearts one day. If I can bring some small bit of joy to someone’s life, that’s all I can ask for.”
