Testimonials

  • A baptism ceremony taking place inside a church, with a priest in green robes leading the service. Several adults, including a man holding a baby, are standing in a line at the altar. Some people are reading from papers, and the congregation is seated in wooden pews watching the ceremony.

    We had such a wonderful experience with Songul for our baby’s first birthday cake smash! The photos turned out absolutely adorable, and she captured every sweet moment perfectly. Highly recommend!

    We booked a cake smash photo session for our baby’s 1st birthday with Songul, and it was such a wonderful experience! She was so nice and kind throughout the session, making us and our little one feel very comfortable.

  • A young child with blonde hair and blue eyes sitting on a white chair, holding a teddy bear with glasses and a Christmas stocking that reads '’Twas the Night Before Christmas,' in a festive living room decorated for Christmas with candles, lanterns, pinecones, and a red and black checkered blanket.

    We got an outdoor family photoshoot done with our dog and 6 month old. Loved the location and the whole session was very comfortable for our dog who is skittish. The photos came out looking so natural with no pressure around posing or anything...

  • Decorations for a first birthday party, featuring pink balloons, a cake, and a sign that reads "Lara is One" with pink and gold accents.
