I really appreciated that they had a separate room for changing clothes and baby diaper changes, which made everything so much more comfortable and convenient. They had beautiful backgrounds and so many fun props for my baby to play with. We also added on the sibling option, and both of my kids had such a great time during the session. Ted was incredibly patient with my kids and managed to capture so many sweet and adorable moments naturally. The final photos turned out absolutely beautiful and dreamy, I couldn't be happier with them! Overall, it was such a wonderful experience, and I would definitely come back again for another photoshoot in the future.

He was responsive, easy/straightforward to work with, made us feel comfortable during the shoot and was very personable. I really appreciate his easy going personality and he made us feel comfortable during photos and gave us really good poses/pointers. I loved that he would show us little snippets during the shoot to show us how the photos were turning out as well. He was so kind, friendly, professional and all the great things you want in a photographer capturing your special moments. I believe he finalized edits and sends within 3-4 weeks and I can't wait to see. Bonus was that he sent over more than 10 sneak-peaks within 24 hours!!! This was so awesome and we were able to use right away to announce our marriage. All in all, so impressed with Justin. He's a gem and I'm looking forward to continue using him for our future shoots!!

My husband greatly appreciated Justin's recommendations for photo ideas. For our wedding, Justin and his second photographer were nothing short of amazing. Justin was able to use the venues spaces very creatively and effectively--I was very impressed with Justin's ability to stage us and our family and wedding party without having seen the venues before. The photos made me appreciate the venues in ways I had not thought of. Justin was able to turn around two photographers' and 10 hours worth of photos in 2 weeks. We were very impressed! Justin has a way of making people feel comfortable. That was true of my husband and me, as well as our wedding parties and families. The end result was amazing photos that we love, and our friends and family have told us look great. We are so happy we got to work with Justin and his team!

I am so glad I hired Adam for my surprise proposal to my girlfriend. Living in SoCal and having…read morenever been to Monterey/Big Sur, I planned my whole proposal based on google searches, reddit threads, and word of mouth. Being a Big Sur/Monterey local, Adam provided extremely helpful insight and feedback for my proposal. He definitely helped relieve a lot of the stress during the planning phase of my proposal. On the day of the actual shoot, the day-of jitters was overwhelming at times, but Adam's energy and demeanor was very centering. He was patient and gave my new fiancee and I space to calm ourselves, and also knew when to take charge and guide us with our poses. He also had amazing and creative ideas for how to pose and brought us to local, reclusive spots to take intimate photos. Best of all, Adam always had a smile on his face and he made us really think like we were supermodels walking the runway haha. If you're going to do any photoshoot, especially a proposal or engagement shoot, in the Big Sur/Monterey area, I would highly recommend getting Adam!!

Ian is a pleasure to work with; he consistently demonstrates patience, empathy, and is willing to ensure that you are comfortable and content throughout the entire shoot.

I am fortunate to have come across Ian's photography business, as I am delighted with his overall services; they are unparalleled for sure. Therefore, I highly recommend you go to Ian to capture your beautiful moments. I look forward to his services again soon!

Tina is simply "THE BEST". If you are planning for a maternity photo shoot, I will say look no…read morefurther - She is the ONE! Beginning from her welcome guide, to location, makeup suggestions and gorgeous gown ideas - She is a thorough professional and nothing sort of a perfectionist. Tina suggests such unique and natural poses that they look brilliant in the snaps. So don't question the professional, just go with the flow and believe me the results will be outstanding. We got tons of compliments for the final edited version of the photographs - Extraordinary lighting and great resolution. She made us feel really comfortable. Her energy level during the photo shoot is contagious. Her creativity, positivity and warm vibes reflect in the final version of the photographs. To top it all, she is punctual and extremely efficient. I would love to have future photo shoot sessions with Tina. So glad to have found her. 5 stars. Highly recommended.

I am so happy I chose Tina for my maternity photos! Not only did the photos turn out beautifully,…read morebut Tina's communication and professionalism are excellent. She really goes above and beyond to scout perfect locations (I wanted to shoot at two, and her suggestions for what I wanted were spot on) and the dresses she provides are beautiful. I was a little worried about both fit and changing while very pregnant, but she made this super easy by bringing a changing tent and many dress options, and was so helpful in choosing/styling/advising. She clearly pays attention to what your preferences are based on the questions she asks in advance. I am a bit camera shy, and my husband is extremely camera shy, but Tina made us all feel beautiful and at ease -- including my little dog, who she magically got to look at the camera. :) Her attention to detail is impeccable, thank goodness, because I can't normally pose for the life of me. I'm basically the opposite of a model! I wouldn't hesitate to work with Tina again for any occasion!

Overview: Yesenia has been an amazing photographer. We have…read moreloved working alongside her as she is so warm and inviting and has a great eye for amazing pictures. We first booked her for Christmas photos and then again for maternity pictures and most recently for newborn pictures. Yesenia works with your ideas and with her photographer's eye makes your dream picture come to life. I will continue to book Yesenia for my photography shoots and she is the first person I recommend when someone is looking for a photographer. Safety: As a mother, I have taken extra precautions during this pandemic so I was skeptical at first to book a photographer- but Yesenia has always ensured we feel safe as she creates a safe environment. She has kept her mask on for every shoot we have had with her, she disinfects all the items before use. Even now that she is fully vaccinated she keeps her mask on and constantly cleans her hands. Christmas Shoot: I first booked her when she was offering a Christmas mini in 2019. My husband, son, and our dog Moo showed up to the session at a park in the city. Yesenia was invited and warm as she helped us pose alongside the props she had. Also noted was that she was wearing a mask and disinfected the items we used as props in front of us before the shoot. I loved the pictures she took of us for Christmas that for the first time in a long time, I sent out Christmas cards! Pregnancy Shoot: I did not think I would ever have another child so when I became pregnant in 2020 I was ecstatic & quickly knew I wanted to well document this journey. I reached out to Yesenia right away, she congratulated me and told me when the most ideal pregnancy period was to take maternity pictures. I booked a spot for I was about 34 weeks pregnant. Before the shoot, Yesenia called me to discuss the color scheme, pictures I wanted to recreate, family portrait options, and the details of what I needed to take to the shoot that day. After our call, she sent me a detailed list of what to expect during the shoot and how I could prepare. When we arrived at the studio she made us feel comfortable as we took family pictures and then more intimate pregnancy pictures. My pictures came out so good everyone was in awe at how beautifully Yesenia captured that moment. Newborn Shoot: So of course I reached out to her again when my son was born. And as always she was great. She had everything in the studio prepared for our pictures. Yesenia even takes extra steps to ensure the newborn is comfortable the entire shoot. During the shoot, Yesenia was extremely calm and patient as she helped us pose and dress our son. Our son was asleep just about the entire session because he was so comfortable. I just received the raw images of this shoot and as always I am not disappointed. I cannot wait to see the final versions of these pictures =)

She did our engagement photos too, which were our first time doing any kind of professional shoot, and she made it feel so easy and natural. She really captured us beautifully. We just got our wedding sneak peek back and are blown away. Nicole was the perfect person to have with us on the day--she kept everything light and fun, and made us feel totally at ease. She's so so so talented. The whole One Love team was great to work with. They checked in throughout the process with surveys to understand what was important to us and offered helpful feedback based on their experience with our venue. On the day, Nicole's assistant photographer Megan was also lovely--we love the photos they both captured and feel so lucky they were recommended to us.
