Let me tell you till this day 5 years later I love our pictures! The beach she chose for us was beautiful, small and accessible. The time she gave us set up for the most beautiful colors and evening. I lost my mom that year as well and some of the images she took with the keepsakes I had of my mom are still so special to me. I look at my pictures often in my living room and they always bring a warmth swarm of beautiful memories. I would definitely recommend Althea for any of your photo shoots and also advise to PRINT THE PICTURES! She provided many images aand I printed some very large ones and they came out super crisp and beautiful.

She was also super flexible and understanding when we needed to reschedule last minutes due to a very fussy baby. She knew all the funny faces / noises to get our baby girl to smile and was so fun to shoot with! My husband and I were totally comfortable in front of the camera because Alison was so easy going and personable. We absolutely love the results from our shoot with Alison and look forward to working with her again in the future!

She shot the reception portion of our wedding and the photos turned out incredible! She is so kind & personable and easy to work with. She's organized and has great communication. Because it was so late in the game, we decided to use the engagement session as a maternity session. I can't wait to work with her again in the near future! You can't go wrong with choosing her! The only small critique I have is that I think we should have scheduled a call beforehand to go over the timeline and schedule as well as what shots were important to us. It was such a fast process with all that was going on so at the end of the day I was just so thankful we had her and received gorgeous photos! I'd definitely hire her again!

She met with our daughter and her groom several times before the wedding. First, she met with them to learn about their personalities and their likes and dislikes. Then she scheduled a shoot for engagement photos. From the first photo, we knew Ashely was the photographer for us! She is professional, a joy to work with, and has an uncanny ability to reflect the personalities of those she photographs. Her photos are beautiful and capture the emotion of the moment. Ashely is a first rate photographer and I have no doubt her talent is god given!

I found Devan by accidentally stumbling across her Instagram and immediately fell in love with her "style". I like how she prices her sessions on her website and makes it easy to know upfront what your costs will be. On the day of the photoshoot, we didn't know what to expect since it was our first professional session. Leading up to the day, I was worried about poses and know how awkward they can be. We're both not picture people and we barely have any photos of us together! But Devan made the awkward poses really fun and I can honestly say we had a great time doing it! Our dog also enjoyed it just as much as we did! We got our pictures within 2 weeks as promised and can't be happier. Thanks Devan!

Finding a photographer for a surprise proposal is daunting enough. Add in the fact that we had just…read morearrived to Orange County and knew no one in Southern California, and it was downright stressful! Mary made it less so. With her knowledge of the area, she was able to add in a few helpful tips on how to make the day even more magical, from proposal tips to info about the location I planned on. But let's talk about what you really want to hear about: the photos. After the butterflies and excitement of a proposal, my fiancée and I were so nervous that we didn't know how to take photos afterwards. Mary got us distracted -- encouraging me to talk about how I asked for her parents blessing -- and shot some amazing photos. As a testament to Mary's skills, or perhaps my fiancée's beauty, we retouched exactly zero photos. On top of that, within a few days we had a link in our mailbox to see them all, just in time for an Instagram post. I cannot recommend Mary enough. Thank you!

This was no problem for Alicia as she easily made us feel comfortable with her warm and fun personality! She really got to know us and took the time to uplift us through our insecurities.

I am not really a picture person, but it came naturally with her. Not only did we have fun on our engagement shoot, but when the pandemic changed our entire wedding, she was great about communication and she worked to put us at ease and answer all of our questions. She worked with us to customize our photography package which worked perfectly for our small outdoor wedding. Will definitely be looking to use her in the future for other events. If I could give her bonus stars I would. My only hesitation for putting up this review is that you all will snag her and make it harder for us to hire her for those other events... but that is a price I am willing to pay and Alicia definitely deserves.
