Kerensa is incredible. She’s shot a wedding and family photos for my family and her pictures are incredible!! She’s beyond patient with our little ones, can’t recommend enough!!
Everything from making the appointment to getting the pictures...it was all a wonderful experience. Kerensa did a session with my son for his senior year pictures. She is very personable and relaxed and made my 18 year old comfortable with getting his picture taken...not an easy feat. She is very flexible and patient and she came to us to get pictures with a backdrop that was meaningful to us. She wanted my son’s personality and interests to be reflected in the photos, and the photos did not disappoint. They were beautiful!! I’ll be calling her again this fall for my youngest son’s senior pictures. I would recommend her to anyone!!
Kerensa truly has a gift! She is in her element behind the camera and is so very talented. Her ability to find the perfect shot in the perfect location all while capturing the essence of her subject is amazing. My son recently had his senior portraits done by Kerensa. He was not overly excited about the thought of doing this, but by the end of his session not only did he say it wasn’t bad, he stated it was VERY fun! She had a preview of photos for us very quickly and we were blown away. Wonderful experience, beautiful pictures and such a pleasure to spend time with her throughout the process. I would recommend very highly!!!
Kerensa Rybak Photography was a fantastic experience. We hired her to photograph my family of 6, with 4 boys, and she connected well with all of them. Sometimes my boys can be shy, but they really opened up with her and were quite receptive to the photoshoot. She helped us pick a great outdoor spot and made great suggestions and poses that really captured all of our kids personality. All her pricing was reasonable and we have ordered our prints directly from her. The photos are now proudly displayed in our home. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a true professional to photograph a family.
Kerensa did both my maternity shoot and lifestyle newborn photos and I couldnt be happier with both. Her personality is exactly what will make her be my go to photographer for all my future needs. Not only was she great with my boyfriend and I but she was perfect with my newborn. Her prices are beyond resonable and her turn around to get the finished photos to you was faster than I expected. I have recommended her to anyone Ive seen looking for a photographer and will continue to do so!
Kerensa recently took photos of my HS senior and his brother and sister at Saratoga State Park. This was our second time working with Kerensa and both times it was a great experience. She is professional and fun to work with and made us all feel comfortable and at ease. She is warm, friendly and genuine through and through. The pictures are amazing as she has a wonderful way of capturing their true personalities. I would highly recommend Kerensa Rybak Photography!
I am so glad we found Kerensa to do our maternity shoot during our trip to Lake George last week. I got in touch with her about a month before our trip. She was responsive, very reasonably priced and so easy to work with. When she suggested doing the shoot in early evening so we could capture the golden hour, I knew weve found a true artist!Since it was my husband and my first time to Lake George, we had a lot of questions about where to do the shoot. Kerensa was very patient and flexible in helping us find the perfect settings for our shoot even though she lives about 45 mins away from Lake George.The day of the photoshoot was the first time we met Kerensa in person and she made us comfortable right away. To be honest, with all my 3rd trimester symptoms, I had serious doubts about whether a photoshoot was a good idea. Luckily Kerensa was able to help us with our poses and captured all our best angles. She sent us our photos less a week later and we absolutely love them. Although you could order prints with her, there is zero pressure to do so.Overall Kerensa is a real gem! I feel lucky to have we found her via an internet search. My husband, who isnt normally a big fan of photos is already thinking about having her do a family shoot for us in the future. We just have to plan another trip near where shes based.
Kerensa is fantastic! She is both really fun to work with and delivers beautiful results. In addition to her being our wedding photographer, we did our engagement shoot with her, my sister has done family sessions with her, and we had her come take photos at the post wedding brunch. Every time we have had a wonderful time working with her and have been thrilled with the results. She does an excellent job of keeping everyone organized and giving directions while still maintaining a fun and relaxing atmosphere. And have a mentioned the photos she takes are gorgeous?
Believe all the hype! Kerensa is outstanding and the most exceptional photographer that we’ve been privileged enough to work! She instantly made us feel comfortable, and captured our engagement and wedding photos in the most authentic, beautiful way. Kerensa was extremely flexible with our changes due to COVID, always responsive, super timely, understanding, and honestly went far above and beyond to support us on our wedding day. She even provided a sneak peek the very next day! We’re incredibly thankful to have her kind spirit, steadfast support, and top notch humor to make our wedding day so special! We highly recommend and can’t wait to book her again soon!
Kerensa photographed my wedding last June. She was amazing! So professional and captured all the magical moments so beautifully. She not only captured all the family and friend photos we requested, but also captured these amazing candid photos of our guests on the dance floor and mingling that were just priceless. We loved the candid photos because my husband and I feel awkward posing. Not only did she take all these amazing photos, but sent us a few samples of her favorites the next day that we were able to post to social media. We got the whole wedding album of photos within the next week. She’s so personable and knows just how to make a nervous bride feel at ease. She is amazing at wrangling in the crazy wedding party and family members for photos and putting the bride/groom at ease. I would 100% recommend her services for your wedding or any event.
My husband and I booked Kerensa back in 2019 for our Hindu ceremony and reception. When we first met Kerensa we felt a warm and welcoming vibe. Kerensa was professional and her quality of work is amazing. She made us feel comfortable, and gave us a fun experience taking beautiful pictures for our ceremony and reception. We also received sneak peeks of some of our pictures the next day! I without a doubt highly recommend Kerensa and cannot wait to work with her again in the future!
We recently had a family photo shoot done by Kerensa. We had to reschedule due to Covid and she was so understanding and flexible. We were hesitant to get photos taken due to having an infant but she did everything she could to make us feel safe and comfortable. We had so much fun during the shoot with her and the pictures she captured of our family are beautiful!! Her turn around time is fast and we had a sneak peak within an hour and she shared our gallery within a few days. Her price is extremely reasonable and we will be scheduling many more photo shoots with Kerensa. Highly recommend her!
Kerensa did a fabulous job with our extended family photo shoot! She was personable and flexible which was so helpful with a number of children involved on a hot summer night. She made the whole process so easy and such an enjoyable experience. Our family photos turned out amazing and make for a beautiful family keepsake. She came highly recommended and I completely understand why!
Kerensa was amazing from the start. Very responsive when I reached out and accommodated my daughter’s schedule. During the shoot Kerensa made my daughter laugh and was able to really capture her personality. I highly recommend Kerensa.
Booked Kerensa for my daughter’s senior portraits after a positive experience with family photos. Her professionalism and easy going nature made the entire experience wonderful! The photos are beautiful!
Kerensa has been taking our family photos for years! She is professional, hard working, and down to earth. She makes you feel comfortable quickly and captures those memorable pictures with ease. She is the best photographer around!
Kerensa is great to work with! I am not photogenic at all, but she put me at ease and made me feel beautiful. She did my engagement photos and my wedding. I could not have asked for a more accommodating and understanding photographer. She captured what I wanted and threw in some great shots I wouldn’t have thought of. I look forward to working with her again and highly recommend her!
My husband and I hired Kerensa to shoot our family photos, it had been too long since we’ve had them done. We had the photos done at Saratoga National and Saratoga State Park, which were suggested by Kerensa. I was very impressed with her choice of locations, professionalism, her ability to make us feel comfortable, her eye for the perfect photo spots within her selected locations, and the quality and versatility with the finalized photos. She made sure we were happy with the number and types of photos that were taken before ended our session, which we were! When done, our photos were emailed to us very promptly! We loved every one of the photos and it was very difficult to choose the ones we wanted for our wall because they were all so great! Her prices are very reasonable, especially given the quality and large selection of photos that were taken. I highly recommend Kerensa Photography for photos of any occasion!!
I have had Kerensa take many types of pictures: family, senior, couple and graduation/party pictures. The thing I am most amazed by is her ability to ‘get the shot!’ I usually leave the shoot worrying whether got anything good—-and she always gets GREAT! For my daughters graduation, we had about 20 people aged 13 to 81! I was shocked by how much fun we had, how many great group pictures we got and how relaxed everyone felt. Kerensa is a professional, but also friendly, approachable, flexible and so much fun. You will not be disappointed!!!
I connected with Kerensa through social media to meet up on our family vacation. The weather forecast was gloomy with a good chance of rain, so we were in constant communication about whether or not wed forge through the weather or reschedule. I greatly appreciated the direct communication though text message and prompt replies. We decided to stick with our original plan, and the overcast morning ended up being a perfect backdrop. Kerensa is so incredibly personable and professional, and didnt even think twice to walk up to her knees in the lake in her jeans (!!!!) to capture our family moments on the beach. Our photos are clear and crisp and full of sentiment, and all thanks to Kerensas ability to make us feel comfortable and at home when we were far from home.
We booked a fall family portrait session and senior photo shoot with Kerensa. We choose an early morning shoot to take advantage of the beautiful fall colors. I have three teenagers who are not morning people, which could spell disaster for our 8am shoot. Kerensa had them feeing comfortable, smiling and laughing almost instantly. The family pictures and my eldest’s senior pictures came out beautiful. We were all very happy with them (even the pickiest and self-critical among us). Professional, easy to work with, beautiful pictures, and great value would be my summary of our experience with Kerensa. Will definitely be booking again in the future.
Kerensa is a thoughtful, creative, professional photographer. She took my son’s graduation pictures and we were blown away! She picked the perfect outdoor location that mixed with her creativity and photography skills and created beautiful pictures that we will cherish a lifetime!
If you are looking to get your pictures taken, look no further. Kerensa is amazing at what she does! I highly recommend! We’ve had family photos taken that were amazing! My daughter also had head shots taken for her dance competition that came out beautiful! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Kerensa did a wonderful job during our holiday photo shoot. Not only did she get great posed photos, she also found a way to capture some very special candid shots that I had no idea were taken until I received my photos. She kept my whole family at ease and it was an enjoyable process. I highly recommend her!
Words honestly can’t describe how happy and excited I am to have found Karensa. She is hands down the best photographer I have found, and nailed my visions each time. After talking with her for five minutes, I felt like she was my lifelong friend. Karensa is professional, responsive, accommodating and extremely patient. She took the time to get to know us and our story. Our 3 young kids (5,2 & 8 months) adored her & she truly captured all of their personalities. We all felt comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. Not to mention that our turnaround time for our pictures were extremely quick.After torturing my husband with 9 years of akward photo shoots, i know for a fact he won’t roll his eyes when I mention another session. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves & the experience Karensa gave us was like no one else I have ever hired!!
Kerensa has been photographing our family for 5 years. She is talented and a wonderful person to work with. She is great with kids and very patient. We typically leave the location up to her and she never disappoints! The turn around time is typically pretty quick and you get the digitals! Affordable as well.
We hired Kerensa for our small wedding and reception. She was fabulous! She provided attentive service leading up to our wedding. Kerensa was prompt and unobtrusive during the ceremony and reception. She took all the photos we requested and many more - giving us a great selection to remember our special day by! Our outdoor setting was rather challenging, but the photos are wonderful. Within two days of our wedding, we had a delightful sampling of the photos and the rest at the end of the week. We are thrilled.
Believe everything youve heard about Kerensa Rybak!She will photograph your family and not only will it be painless, she will make it enjoyable. She makes sure to capture those little perfect moments that you didnt even know happened.We have had Kerensa document the major events for our family; Eagle Scout, Senior pictures and family Christmas pictures. We have NEVER been disappointed. She is dedicated to your satisfaction.In fact, I have had a date on my calendar to call her on August 1st, since LAST Christmas, to make an appointment for this years Christmas shoot.
Kerensa did a boudoir shoot for me as well as a family for us. She has a gift for making people feel comfortable. My boys which range in ages from 12 to 19 are not fond of having their pictures taken but they actually had FUN when Kerensa did our shoot. She captures the the greatest features in her subjects and has an extensive knowledge of the area and best locations. Shes is by far the best photographer weve ever had the pleasure to work with.
We had our engagement pictures done and we had such a wonderful experience! Not only is Kerensa incredibly talented but she is also so kind and charming. My fiancé and I enjoyed our session and loved our pictures. Such a beautiful keepsake. We will continue to come back for family photos !
Kerensa was the photographer for our wedding in February and I cannot say enough amazing things about the quality of the pictures and and how much more fun she made the day for us. She truly has an eye for being able to capture each moment in detail. We’ve gone through our photos hundreds of times to relive the day and are currently picking out which ones to print and hang. The only problem is that we love each photo that she took so much that we can’t decide! Not to mention how relaxed she made us feel and how fun the photo taking process was with her. We rate her 5 stars only because google won’t allow us to rate her 10 stars- otherwise we would! We highly recommend her for not only weddings, but any other life moment that you’d want to have captured. We’ll definitely be using her again!
Kerensa is wonderful at her craft! She has photographed my family several times in the last 6-7 years. Because of her ability to capture us in just the right moment, we have a beautiful collection of priceless memories. Thank you Kerensa!
Kerensa has taken photos of my family, my daughters senior pictures, and my sisters wedding. She captures the most beautiful, sincere moments in just about any circumstance and has a gift for capturing and using light to make some gorgeous photos.
Kerensa has been capturing our family moments for over 5 years. Her patience, artistry and innate ability to make each family member feel involved is amazing.Our photography sessions turn into family memories and for that we are forever grateful!!
Kerensa has a gift for photographing people. Although, I feel so uncomfortable posing for photos, Kerensa made me feel right at home. She gave me several options to choose from as I needed photos to market my new career in real estate. Really looking forward to having her take our family photos this spring!
Kerensa has a way of capturing moments like no other. She is diligent in her craft and has a genuine, sweet , and bubbly personality. She puts her heart and soul into her shoots , making it a relaxing and fun experience. The pictures never fail to be beautifully lit and focused.
I recently officiated a wedding and Kerensa was the photographer. I never noticed she was taking pictures and as an officiant that is great. But she took plenty and they we amazing.
Kerensa is an extremely talented photographer who has the knack of capturing the most beautiful and natural moments. Our family looks forward to our photo sessions with Kerensa. There is sure to be many laughs that result in amazing photos!
Our family has been using Kerensa for years for our yearly photos. We have always had a wonderful experience, she is very friendly, professional, and the photos come out amazing.
Kerensa is warm, friendly, and she takes fantastic photos. She managed to put all of us, even our littlest kiddo, at ease. It was a fun experience, and that came through in the pictures. I cant recommend her enough.
We are from California and I was so hesitant to book a photographer from a place I didnt know. Im glad I did.We absolutely love Karensa Ryback Photography. We just got our family photos done a second time by her and we couldnt be happier. She captures our family perfectly and so easy to work with.
Kerensa took beautiful pictures of my family. The boys were actually smiling!! Professional and personable. Would recommend her wholeheartedly.

She has nice style, likes to use natural enviroments not fake back drops, not the same old family photos from Sears.
Always a great experience with Kerensa! Her photos are beautiful.

2021-10-21We had a fabulous experience working with Kerensa as our wedding photographer. Like so many couples, we had many changes and pivots in our wedding plans due to COVID-19 and, Kerensa was very gracious and flexible with all of these changes. Working with Kerensa on the day of our wedding was fantastic. Kerensa is outgoing, personable, relaxed, and very accommodating to our needs. She was very professional, yet fun and easy to work with. We are so happy with our wedding pictures and our overall experience with Kerensa.

2017-01-04Kerensa did both our engagement and wedding photos and we couldnt be happier! From day one Kerensa made us laugh and feel completely comfortable. She communicated with us throughout the entire wedding process and responded immediately to our questions or inputs. She is an utter professional and we felt more like family than anything else!As a photographer she has an amazing ability for setting up shots and finding surprising depths that would be lost on anyone else. Her photos dont just capture the moment, they seem to add more to it. Looking through our wedding photos my wife and I are continually surprised by moments she was able to capture. The emotion is evident in every frame.Beyond being a stunning photographer Kerensa is genuinely warm hearted, hard-working and always accommodating. Our wedding was in mid-August in Upstate New York. It was well into the 90s with oppressive humidity. Needless to say the wedding party was not thrilled to be in the sun posing for photos. Kerensa struck the perfect balance between making sure we didnt melt in the heat, or rushing through the photo shoot. Looking back you wouldnt even know how stressed we were!Kerensa has an expansive catalog from intimate boudoir shoots to family photo events and a whole slew of engagement and weddings shoots. You can tell from her collection she has a natural artistic talent and confidence behind the lens. I can’t say enough about our amazing experience with Kerensa Rybak Photography and would recommend her without hesitation! :)

2021-07-22We took a family trip to the Sagamore to celebrate my parents 50th wedding anniversary and asked Kerensa to shoot some family photos as a gift to my parents. We had a fantastic experience with her from start to finish. She was responsive and helpful throughout the planning process, during the shoot she was great with the little kids, and had a very easygoing manner that made the whole experience enjoyable. We are thrilled with the pictures and she even did a bit of retouching for us. We highly recommend Kerensa for capturing any special moment!
