Njeri is incredibly prompt, professional and extremely talented! My husband and I were thrilled with how our photos came out. She came up with great poses and we look so happy-a real feat because it was so cold outside! But Njeri kept positive and our photos show it.

We would HIGHLY recommend her work! You will not be disappointed!

Njeri made us feel relaxed and not awkward. The 2 hours flew by and the experience was very enjoyable (even my fiance agreed!!) She was very flexible, especially with the weather on the original day scheduled, we had to change the time to the proceeding day, and it was no problem at all. She made excellent suggestions and would listen to what ideas we had. This was overall and excellent experience! Thank you!

Njeri was wonderful! My boyfriend and I did a photoshoot in Chicago for Christmas pictures to give to our families. They turned out beautiful! We shot at different locations throughout Chicago and Lincoln Park. It was a wonderful experience. If looking for a photographer... go with Njeri!

Njeri did an AMAZING job on our engagement photos! She was very flexible in setting up time with us and recommended some great locations around the city. She is very easy and fun to work with and takes pride in her work.

Words cannot express how happy my husband and I (and our families) are with the photos from our Jan. 17, 2015 wedding.

Njeri had an amazing creative vision without taking away from what you want. I can be a difficult person once I have my mind set on something but I trusted them and I got some of the most amazing photos I could have ever dreamed of.

She is patient, a little camera ninja, who has an amazing eye for detail!! I never noticed her during the wedding or the ceremony and she captured the coolest pictures.

We had meet a few times and spoke on phone mostly before time to discuss the day and the photos that were a must have. They went to the locations with us to check lighting and even came to the rehearsal to get a feel for how the ceremony was going to go. On the day of the wedding they were superstars. Example: They captured photos of my husband who insisted on running sprints at 6am with his groomsmen.

I plan to use them again for any photos I would like professionally taken.

You will not regret the decision to pick them for your important day(s).

The Nkairo photography is truly amazing. We hired Nkairo to document out wedding last year and she did an amazing job... She was quick to respond and was very professional. She took time to get to know us and went out of her way to make sure we were happy. I'm such a perfectionist and I was blown away by her work. Her work is incredibly beautiful and artistic. She guided us in poses and made us feel very relaxed while she was shooting. We have recommend Njeri to our friends getting married and will continue to spread the word... She is definitely on the top of our list and we can't wait for her to do our baby pictures... Thank you Njeri and the Nkairo team!!
