Testimonials

“Kevin and Jess have now done photography work for headshots, professional photos, lifestyle/branding images, capturing candids at an event, and video for my wedding. In every instance, they have been incredibly professional--from showing up promptly no matter what, having ideas ready, and giving thoughtful direction. They have calming, joyful energy and they're my secret to looking so relaxed and happy in the pictures I have from them. They really capture the soul of an event or vibe, and are just charming and lovely to be around! The combo of great personalities and impeccable professionalism can't be beat!”

Kevin and Jess were fantastic to work with! They guided me through posing, were flexible, and sought my input during the process. I also appreciated the variety of shots we got- going from strong and stoic to soft and earnest. Will be working with them again!

— Jackie Jorgenson - Actress & Social Media Manager

“I’m very grateful to have met Jess and Kevin! As a performer, it’s so valuable to me that pictures capture my energy as a person and I feel like Kevin’s photographs were exactly that! Kevin took pictures of me after a performance and afterwards I’ve gotten so many comments about how natural and beautiful they were! Also, I’m very grateful for the suggestions that he made as to where to stand, arm placement, head tilt, etc. - it’s so valuable when someone can direct you in a specific and natural way. Thank you once again for your warm energy and professionalism!”

— Angie Kolobukhova - Jazz Singer

“Kevin and Jess were fantastic! Trekking around NYC with us to capture amazing, beautiful, and intimate moments for our engagement photos. They were perfect for our Save the Dates, website, and more. Not only did they capture every moment we wanted (even when the weather didn’t cooperate, he found a way!), but they also had some spectacular suggestions that helped round out the entire shoot.”

— Ben McCoy - Copyright Editor

“Kevin and Jess were awesome, friendly and welcoming, I was comfortable sharing my concepts that I wanted a portrait that showcased my personality instead of a stone cold stoic portraiture. They were super chill and down to earth, easy to talk to. I also knew that I wanted a close up, or a easily cropped image for LinkedIn and all my professional avatars to tie all together as well. It was helpful to see the reel afterwards at the end of the shoot, we could clearly see which ones were the winners, and picked the few to be delivered to me. I’ve been using mine for one solid year, and I’ve really reaped the impact of having a solid strong image to convey my identity in this digital landscape. I would highly recommend Kevin and Jess to help you level up your personal branding!”

"My experience working with Kevin Parada Photography, alongside his partner Jess, was wonderful. Their combined creative vision is remarkable. Kevin's mastery of light and composition shines through every shot. Both of them had insightful creative direction to offer. They welcomed my ideas while also bringing their own amazing concepts to the table. Collaborating with them was not only productive but also enjoyable. I highly recommend Kevin and Jess for any project, whether it's portraits, creative shoots, or live photography. They are a fantastic choice for bringing your vision to life!”

Very high quality photos. I cannot recommend this professional service enough. Kevin was very receptive and customized these photos in the exact Noir style as requested.

— Alex Herlihy - Mechanical Engineer

I needed a headshot pronto and Kevin was recommended. I met him at Bethesda Fountain in Central Park, and he proceeded to take tons of shots and the results were incredible - so much better than I had hoped. He and Jess are focused, creative and easy to work with -- and the experience was fun (and affordable!)

— Katie Davis - Career & Executive Coach
