“Kollene & Mattias were a joy to work with! They made the process clear, were flexible in exploring ideas to make our young teen feel heard about how she wanted to be photographed, and we even added a high energy dog to the photo shoot to really make sure all challenges were covered. The photo shoot was actually fun for our daughter. Kollene is amazing in her ability to make people feel comfortable in what is usually an awkward moment of posing for the camera. The photo selection process was fun and the Blonde Cow’s software helped us select the perfect photos in the perfect sizes. Having Mattias come to install the portraits was a nice touch too! The photos are gorgeous. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend The Blonde Cow.”
“My daughter had her senior photos done by Blonde Cow Photography. The entire experience was amazing! We had such a great time on the shoot. Kollene is so sweet and laid-back, it was as if we were with a good friend. Her husband Mattias helped us with the order and patiently showed us the most amazing photographs. His eye for color and detail complement his wife’s incredible talent. The most difficult part was deciding which of the beautiful photos to purchase. The whole experience was wonderful! The photos are perfect and will be cherished for a lifetime.”
“Kollene is a creative genius who knows how to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. She has the magical ability to rope in a busy toddler and inspire them to smile. Mattias brings it all to life. He gets a feel for your style and his ideas and suggestions are amazing. Their collective work translates to such stunning art. We can’t feel luckier to have found them to capture our family’s milestones and moments.”
“Our family has been working with Blonde Cow for years- we have thoroughly enjoyed our experience with Mattias and Kollene! From photo shoot to hanging the finished picture in our home, both have shown kindness and professionalism. Our children have grown up through their lenses- thank you for capturing such precious memories for us!”
“I had decided to skip the senior photos until I saw Kollene’s work. I knew she could capture the spirit of my son in a way that was both timely and creative. Kollene and Mattias were efficient, relaxed, creative and just so fun to work with!”
“Working with Kollene & Mattias was so enjoyable. We couldn’t be happier with the service and the final product we received from them. Our pictures are so beautiful. We look forward to working with them in the future for all of our photography needs.”
“It was mid-January, and the thought of taking senior pictures didn’t even occur to me until I saw the beautiful pictures my fellow classmates had taken with Blonde Cow Photography. Kollene and Mattias were gracious enough to squeeze me in despite their tight schedules and still managed to offer me an incredibly customized and comfortable experience. I wanted my senior pictures to have a sort of colonial feel to remind me of my hometown. Having heard my ideas during our first consultation, Kollene immediately came up with several venues for us to shoot. Her attention to details as well as professional eye for aesthetics made the final product beyond everything that I could have imagined it to be. Needless to say, I was absolutely satisfied. Mattias followed up with my printing orders, and he was very helpful in suggesting what products and packages would best suit my needs. To any one who seeks a personalized, memorable, and aesthetic photo session, Blonde Cow is your choice”
“Blonde Cow was absolutely incredible! They were laid back, easy to work with, and eager to please! They were never in the way on the wedding day and came out with amazing photos. They’re also very responsible and back up your photos several times throughout the night and in several different places so that the photos are secure and you don’t have to worry about them accidentally deleting or losing them! They’re the best and think ahead on everything. They went above and beyond my expectations. I would highly recommend them to anyone.”
“Working with Kollene and Mattias was a wonderful experience from start to finish. It is inspiring to meet people who not only do their work with talent and precision, but also with JOY.”
“Kollene is amazing! As soon as we first started corresponding I felt comfortable. She showed up at our house and it was like we had been friends for years. The professionalism and comfort she brings to each shoot is truly amazing. I still remember sitting in their beautiful studio watching the amazing slide show they put together of our newborn session and tearing up because of how beautiful each and every image was. The attention to detail that both Kollene and Mattias put into their work is remarkable. We are expecting our 2nd child in a few weeks and cannot wait for Kollene to capture its first year. Kollene and Mattais are a great team and we are truly grateful to have them document such a special time in our lives.”
Love, James, Amber and Emma
“My family LOVES LOVES LOVES Kollene. She is magical in her photography, personality and talent. We use her every year for our family photos and she never disappoints. Thank you for sharing your passion!”
“Thank you Kollene and Blonde Cow Photography for capturing such beautiful moments during our shoot! You made it so easy to relax and to enjoy taking such fun pictures! We had an amazing experience full of a lot of laughs and smiles, including some pretty crazy ones with our dog Tucker! Kollene, you were the perfect person to have shared such a memorable time in our lives with last week. Your love for taking pictures and connecting with the people in your photos is evident through your stunning work. You gave us a chance to slow down and reminder that the most important things in life are the ones we love. We know we will look back on these pictures for years to come with incredible memories of the day!”
“My wife and I used Blonde Cow for our wedding, and professional headshots. They have a unique studio space or can do outside phots. They are outstanding, and I would highly recommend them for any photography needs you have.”
“Kollene and Mattias are not only talented, intelligent, people (with good taste, I might add), they are also genuine and caring, and will do anything to make your experience wonderful. Our family photos are BEAUTIFUL!!! We will cherish these photos in years to come even more, I’m sure. Everything was handled in a super organized, professional manner from A to Z. Thank you Blonde Cow!”
“I have been working with Blonde Cow Photography, at least once a year, for over 8 years. Kollene has photographed my wedding, my family and my children. She always does an amazing job. She is creative, kind and fun. She makes everyone feel comfortable and special. She knows how to make us look good! You will never be disappointed with her. I highly recommend her and will continue to use her for years to come.”
“They truly are the best!!! They couldn’t be more caring and professional, and our pictures are always so beautiful. Kollene also has an amazing ability to make everyone feel comfortable and even make the little ones laugh. We are so lucky to have found them!”
“Kollene and Matias are wonderful people who make the portrait experience fun for the family! My 3 and 5 year old love kollene and she knows just how to make them smile for a magical shot! And Matias designed our living room picture layout and hung the pictures expertly. Our home looks beautiful. Thanks!”
“We are a blended family of 5 who have been together for years. We had no desire to have a big ceremony and decided to surprise our kids with our wedding. They were told we were going to the beach for a family photo shoot. Kollene was AMAZING. I knew the pictures would be stunning because I had studied her work and carefully chose her but she is such an amazing soul. She was so kind and elegant in ways I can’t describe. She felt like a member of the family. Her work is clearly her passion and I can’t thank Blonde Cow Photography enough for making this one of the happiest days of our lives!”
“What an amazing experience from start to finish! We cannot stop smiling! Kollene and Mattias made us feel welcomed from the very first moment we met them in their studio. They both are completely down-to-earth and made us feel extremely comfortable with every session. Kollene did a spectacular job capturing our son’s first year including maternity photos! She has a true talent which is reflected in the finish product. In the end, we purchased the photo album and we are so happy we did! We highly recommend Blonde Cow Photography and will definitely return back to them in the future.”
“I love Blonde Cow Photography!!! They are so professional and super creative! I loved working with them and would use them again and again!!!”
“I loved working with Kollene! I did both business and family shots. She has a wonderful eye for both the formal and informal. She is so easy to smile for, friendly, gentle and encouraging.”
“The lighting in the photos is magical and Kollene and Mattias get an A++++ for customer service!”
“We are so pleased with the pictures, and the personal attention to every decision we made in choosing the best pictures for our books and wall pictures. We also thought that both Kollene & Mattias were so kind and made us feel so comfortable at every visit. We definitely will use them again”
“We are in love with our photographs which have turned into new additions for our home. We loved the whole Blonde Cow experience. Kollene was amazing to work with. She was very accommodating when weather got in the way of our beach photo shoot plans and even a sickness that lead to rescheduling. During the shoot, it was so natural. She made us all feel so comfortable that we just enjoyed our family time while she did her thing. Then the presentation of showing her images was so professional. We left with many more things than we planned on but everything was just so perfect. Now we have a giant metal artwork of our family to enjoy along with a gorgeous book and so much more. Mattias was equally as amazing to work with. He helped make the process of choosing what photos to where so simple. He also came over to our house to hang up our artwork! I can’t say enough great things about this couple. I would highly recommend. The presentation of everything (the wrapping of each photograph) was gorgeous! It exceeded all of my expectations. We love you guys!”
“We loved working with Kollene and Mattias!! From start to finish they were professional, thorough, accommodating and friendly. The finished products turned out even more beautifully than I anticipated, we will treasure them for many years to come!”
“We have had a wonderful experience with Kollene and Mattias. We purchased the maternity to 1 year old photo package, and really got to know them with our 4 sessions. They are professional and stress free. What makes them exceptional is that they truly care about the kids, and trouble shoot to make even my diva toddler happy. Kollene invited my toddler on a special ice cream date before our recent photo shoot. Then they were best friends, and the photo shoot was perfect. I have a 3 year old and a 1 year old. I’m pretty sure Kollene deserves a Nobel peace prize. We couldn’t be happier, and our pictures are priceless.”
“Kollene and Mattias are amazing! They photographed my engagement session and my wedding. Working with them is so much fun, and I never felt awkward about having my pictures taken. They make the whole process a blast!”
“Best team in town! Always professional and extra warm to help the little ones open up. They have the whole process down to a science so you don’t have to worry about what you’ll do with your beautiful photographs once their finished. Can not say enough wonderful things about them and their amazing products.”
“Kollene and Mattias have been photographing my family for 4 years now. It started with my first pregnancy maternity shoot, followed up by a newborn shoot, then 1 year… times that by 2 more children… and we are up to 7 photo shoots to date and another one planned in a year or two! They are so much more than just photographers! I’m blessed to call them friends. They have been a part of my family from the beginning and I feel very much a part of theirs. They are beyond generous and giving. You will always end up with the perfect picture(s). I have to say they are so easy to get along with, work with and talk to. You feel so at ease taking pictures – no stress. And trust me taking family pictures with kids under 5 is no easy task! As long as they are still taking pictures – they will be our only photographer – that I can promise you!”
“I was referred to Blonde Cow by a friend. We were both getting senior pictures taken; In fact, many students from my school went to blonde cow. I still felt my experience was very personalized, and that they took the time to know who I was and what I wanted out of this experience. Going in, I had expressed my concerns with the pictures because I have braces so I was a little uncomfortable with my smile. Shortly within the photoshoot, I was comfortable and smiling with teeth.”
“I went searching on the internet for a photographer for our family and extended family photos. When I took a look at Blonde Cow – the photography was amazing and I had a real positive feel from the descriptions of Mattias and Kollene. Filling out the questionnaire to hear more about the company – one of the questions asked me what my favorite kind of ice cream was! Not typical but a sure signal that they were different than the rest! From the day we met to everything was done they were a pleasure to work with! Enthusiastic, positive, responsive, helpful, fun and best of all Kollene was great with the camera. She came out to visit in advance which was very helpful. The day of the shoot she was relaxed, fun and made us feel like we had all the time in the world. There were 10 of us – grandparents, 2 daughters with their families. It couldn’t have been a better experience and the finished product is the BEST. There was lots of back and forth to finalize the prints, calendars, wall hangings, etc. and they were a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend them!”
“It is impossible for me to love your summer camp any more than I already do! It was fabulous! BEST CAMP EVER – hands down! Emma would do it again any time you offer it.”
“Dear Kollene & Mattias, Thank you both so very much for taking such beautiful photos of me and my whole family! It was all so easy because of all the special attention you pay to every detail. You’re also so sweet it helps us to feel comfortable! – Love, A”
“Never met a more fabulous team! Kollene and Mattias are top notch. Professional and talented and so kind. They go the extra degree. I will cherish the exquisite memories I have from them forever! Thank you!”
“Absolutely fabulous experience! They truly enjoy what they do and it shows. We had a blast taking pictures for a full year with our newborn and we look forward to many more sessions in the future”
