“Thank you Xenia! Thank you for the many memorable moments you always capture of our family. I strongly recommend Xenia Photography and believe she is the BEST OF THE BEST! She masterfully has managed to get my kids of all ages whether they are newborns, a two year old who missed a nap or a grouchy teenager to take amazing pictures. Xenia has done many types of photo shoots for me from athletic shoots to boudoir shoots. But every year, we look forward to our family sessions with Xenia. She is creative and dedicated to each project. She has a natural talent that is clear when you look at her work. Xenia is fun, easy to work work with and makes everyone comfortable no matter what. I could go on and on about Xenia Photography. If you've found her to capture your moments, consider yourself lucky!”

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Xenia as a photographer. She is absolutely amazing! We have been using her annually for years to photograph our four kids and she never disappoints. I get so many compliments on my holiday cards every year and she deserves all the credit. Getting four kids to cooperate is a skill itself, but then to be able to capture beautiful moments that show their personalities is beyond me. She's fun, creative, easy to work with and responsive. I am SO sad she moved away but plan to use her again any chance I get.

“Xenia is a dream to work with. Her enthusiasm and boundless energy add so much joy to each session, taking family photos is actually fun. My kids never complain either- when they hear her name, they smile and ask if she is bringing Pez candy! She is always so helpful ahead of time with color scheme and outfit ideas, and she has a wonderful eye for composition, capturing great posed and spontaneous photos every time. We have always been so happy with every session we have ever done with her. Thank you Xenia for preserving these special times with the littles - I know I will always be so grateful to have your beautiful pictures, and they make perfect holiday cards and gifts for the grandparents too.”

I could rave about her for days. She has given my family the best gift of such treasured memories!”

“I couldn’t recommend Xenia more for her family photography! Her energy makes the experience fun and upbeat - which bring smiles to everyone’s faces. She is creative with her selection of setting and light, but remains flexible to your desires for location. Xenia’s delivery is timely and organized via her website, which is easy to navigate. The resulting pictures are beautiful - it’s hard to decide which we like best! Lasting memories for years to come.”

At each click of her camera, Xenia makes each one of the children feel comfortable and catches the perfect expression of all the children.She has taken many individual photos, siblings and amazing family fundraising photos! An absolute delight to work with!”

“I highly recommend Xenia if you are looking to get family photos done. She has amazing energy, is super patient, and is not afraid to get silly for a smile- which is super important when including little ones and a family pet in the pics. She has such an amazing eye and is able to find the best background for every shot. Could not be happier with selecting Xenia to take our pictures.”

Xenia is such a talented photographer and her photos will make your ordinary family look like the star of a print magazine spread! We first worked with her for newborn photos, and we were blow away at the numerous high-quality photos we got. I told Xenia that the photos looked like they belonged in a baby magazine! We also used her for two fall family shoots and the photos again came out magical. She is so friendly and easy to work with, and made our two young daughters feel at such ease. She has a natural ability to bring out joyful smiles and capture those special intimate moments in time. Photography is an art, and Xenia truly has that artistic vision coupled with the technical skill to produce incredible photos. I highly recommend!

“We've been hiring Xenia to take photos of our family for several years now and she never ceases to amaze us! Her photos are all extremely stunning and capture the true essence of the individual. Her use of color and composition are flawless and only enhance to the story she tells through her photos. They are very artistic. Earlier this year, she took pictures of hundreds of families in our town and raised proceeds for local businesses/people in needs. Amazing personality and talent!!!!”
— Bella H.
“Xenia’s gorgeous photography speaks for itself! I love how natural it is and people are always complementing her work that is hung up all around my home. What you don’t see but will appreciate is how much fun she makes it and what positive energy she brings to her sessions. She is magic with children and always captures that spit second when everyone is smiling. She finds the perfect locations, the best lighting and also gives thorough directions so you don’t feel awkward. Xenia is a true treasure.”

Xenia has photographed our family annually for the past 5 years. She is always upbeat, never stressed, and chooses the most picturesque backdrops. She has also effortlessly and cheerfully adapted to shoot locations of our choice. She captures the best of our kids - and she is FAST! Little ones have quick attention spans. Xenia is aware of this and shoots rapidly, utilizing various photographic compositions, so there are always multiple, diverse images for us to choose from. We always get compliments on our Christmas cards, and it's all thanks to Xenia. She is funny and so fun. My only complaint? We only get to hang out with her once a year during our (very quick) photo shoots.
