Wild Thistle Photo Co

I made my final payment installation in October 2025, which is a month after Kesha moved unannounced across the country to Washington state. I will be honest that we are slowly being repaid by Kesha, but that is not without us babysitting her for repayment with long periods of no communication from her and a consistent supply of excuses. All of this could have been solved with communication. Instead, she sent no notice to us *she stated in emails she sent that but upon half a dozen reminders to forward it to me she hasn't yet* and accepted the last $900 payment (a month after her relocation) from us and waited for me to track her down on Facebook in January of 2026. I have spent some time researching and came to find that she rebranded to Wild Thistle Photo Co. after her original branding of Kesha Shonet Photography went belly up for what appears to be many of the same issues. ie: unprofessionalism, not delivering photos, not communicating with clients, and breach of contact leaving people out thousands of dollars. Her photography is beautiful and definitely stands out from a crowd of people in the wedding photography world, but no one deserves to endure the mess that Kesha provides. Especially during what is meant to be one of the happiest moments of your life. If you are in the Lacey, Washington area and for whatever reason come upon this review, please do yourself a favor and pass over Kesha Crabtree as your wedding photographer. Per her one of her more recent communications with us she is no longer in photography. I, however, am unable to take her comment in good faith and would be so upset if I didn't do what I could to prevent another bride/groom/partner from ending up in my position. Unfortunately another rebrand by Kesha would afford her a clean slate, and I think that is the worst part of this whole experience.
