My family and I have taken numerous photo shoots with Aika over the years. Aika makes the whole process seamless with how efficient and friendly she is which is so important when you have an antsy husband and children! She is able to get priceless shots in a short amount of time with how well she works with kids. She is experienced, easy to work with and produces great shots which keeps us coming back each year!

Aika produced both formal indoor studio shots as well as fun casual outdoor shots that captured our family's personality - and made us all look great. We are so glad to have found Aika - and we look forward to working with her time and time again in years to come.

Having the right photographer to capture my daughter’s first headshots was very important to me. Aika was wonderful to work with! She was not only great at keeping my young daughter’s attention but also patient, kind and so sweet with her. She made my daughter feel at ease and was able to get her laughing and smiling so easily. Aika kept the whole session stress-free. Thanks again Aika! 🙂

Aika really puts her heart into her work and I was just so happy to see that she could capture my personality in the photos as well as make me feel beautiful and confident. I'd encourage every woman to do this for themselves.

We've used Aika on multiple occasions and simply are in love with the end product. She truly captures babies/children in the moment. I will cherish all the photos we've done with Aika forever. From booking appointments, to the actual appointment, to ordering Aika is always professional and very easy to talk to. I personally love her style. I would highly recommend her to anybody.

Aika did a fantastic job with our newborn photoshoot! She captured priceless shots of us and our newborn that we are going to cherish forever. The shoot itself was a really fun experience, Aika was so patient and didn't rush us through the process. She made sure our baby was comfortable throughout the shoot. We can't wait to come back for her one year photoshoot!

Aika is an absolute gem! I am so happy that we found her when our daughter was only a few months old. She has captured the most BEAUTIFUL shots of our family over the past four years! Her studio is also lovely and she is the sweetest person to work with. I can't recommend Aika Cardin Photography enough!
