Oh my goodness! How rude of me! I thought I already sent this review about 7 months ago! I…read moreapologize. So here we go: I love Chloe's cute studio. She was successfully working with my 1 mo old baby, for her newborn picture! After reading all of the review about her. We decided to have her take Sophie's newborn photos. She gave us a lot of time and patiently in getting Sophie to sleep. And she slept through the whole session! I didn't want to be in the picture at first, but Chloe had me pose for the picture with Sophie as well. I am so glad that she made me do that! Thank you for everything, Chloe! Let's talk when it's time for her 1 yr old photos!

Chloe was mindful of the time needed to work with an infant. She was extremely gentle and patient. She was also prepared with costumes, props, and calming techniques to keep our new bundle of joy cozy throughout the entire process. Chloe's studio is equipped with everything needed for a variety of backgrounds, flooring, and lighting. If you want your precious moments captured in a high quality fashion, I recommend Chloe!

She worked her magic, helping him laugh, engage, and genuinely smile and the photos she captured were absolutely stunning! Laura's creative eye and easygoing, flexible energy made the entire experience so enjoyable. She guided us effortlessly through poses while still keeping things natural and relaxed. We were honestly amazed at how many beautiful shots she delivered and even more impressed by how quickly she turned them around. Our sunset beach photos are truly breathtaking, the kind you'll treasure forever. Laura has an incredible gift for capturing authentic, joyful moments, and we will only use her for family photos from now on. With Laura, you're guaranteed to walk away laughing, with gorgeous memories and photos to last a lifetime!

We stopped by on a weekday in the late afternoon and practically had the place to ourselves. Another family arrived shortly after, but it was still very relaxed and easygoing. The process was super simple. You can make a reservation, but we just walked in without any issues. We did the white background setup for 15 minutes, which was perfect and definitely a must if you're taking photos with little kids. There were a few technical difficulties during our session, but the staff member was incredibly accommodating. He paused the timer and gave us those minutes back so we didn't lose any of our shoot time. The pricing is great too! The package includes 2 people and 3 printed 4x6 photos of your favorite shots. Additional people are only $5 each, but they didn't charge us for our toddler or newborn, which was such a nice surprise. One of the best parts is that you get access to download every single digital photo from your session, not just a select few. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and ended up with so many great family photos. definitely considering coming back for another shoot

Cathy has been capturing our family's most precious moments since 2021, and I couldn't be more…read moregrateful for her dedication and professionalism. From maternity sessions to newborn shoots and first birthdays for both of my children, she has beautifully documented every milestone. Each photo she delivers is stunning, and they only become more meaningful as my children grow. Looking back at them always brings me so much joy. Truly, once you experience Cathy's work, it's hard to imagine working with anyone else What sets Cathy apart is her incredible attention to detail and organization. She takes the time--before, during, and after each session--to ensure everything turns out perfectly. She's easy to communicate with, genuinely listens to what you want, and goes above and beyond to make it happen. Her studio is also spotless and welcoming, making the entire experience comfortable for everyone. Highly, highly recommend!

We had a hard time selecting outfits so she even looked for some outfits for us on Amazon. She took a family portrait of us with 7 adults, 1 baby, and 1 dog - amazing! Also we requested Chinese Zhua Zhou (brought our own props) in the photos to honor my culture, she accommodated that. Lastly, she's very honest about what's recommended and what's not based on the baby's attention span. I really appreciated that as a first time parent. In conclusion, highly recommend!!

You know a photographer seriously wants to capture the best pictures of your baby if they want you…read moreto come back when baby is fed, well slept, and happy. For some reason things just didn't align well with my baby's naps and feedings that day so it was hard to manage a tired baby but they managed to get real good photos of my baby and the family. My baby didn't really smile much yet but they were still able to get smiling pictures of her too. Very professional and works so hard to get the best pictures. I was truly grateful for this studio and loved my experience. Also the picture quality was amazing!! The backgrounds were cute and the clothes were so adorable too!! The price point is reasonable and I'd say cheaper than some others for a better quality. I think the turn around time to receive the photos were faster than we expected too. Truly appreciate working with this photographer. He really seems to love what he does and we are blessed with these amazing photos!!! Couple things to note/tips: 1. Go when your baby can smile. Yes after their neck strength gets way better too. My baby still can't really smile yet and she's 4 months old. I really wanted to push having 100 day photos when she was 3.5 months old so neck strength and expressions aren't expected. 1a. Also go when your baby is well fed, pooped, rested, good condition, etc. makes a world of difference. 2. They give you a looooot of photos to choose from. Be prepared to be pleasantly overwhelmed with photos. If you get decision fatigue then ask your spouse to help. Cause I loved getting the full gamut of photos. 3. They have a wardrobe but if you want your baby to wear something specific, bring it! Their wardrobe is pretty cute tho and fits with their backgrounds. 4. They have set backgrounds to choose from in their studio. The backgrounds are really cute but if you're looking for something specific, unique, tailored to you, the studio setting might not be for you. But tbh all 100 day, dohl, event photos basically look the same...so I would think it's odd to expect something different. I've seen tons of beach engagement pics. Tons of dohl pics with the same backgrounds and balloons. So why complain about a studio pic with similar styles and backgrounds or lack of variety? You're already the unique and different baby/family. So there's that. 5. Bring a toy or something that can get your baby's attention. I realized belatedly my baby likes to stare at herself in the mirror. She also likes her little fox doll. If your baby has a preference for a toy, perhaps being prepared like that will help with the experience! 6. Match your clothes with your family and partner beforehand. Clothes, accessories and shoes too so they look cohesive in the photos! Belatedly realized my husband's shoes didn't match any of our family's and my son's also seemed a little too bright. Oh well. Overall I loved the photos! Thank you again for the awesome and kind experience!!!

However, the studio was incredibly flexible and worked with me to find dates and times that matched our schedules. Once there, both the photographer and assistant made it easy to take photos, kept my daughter laughing, and made each outfit/background change seamless. We were able to get 4 outfit and background changes in a little under an hour and cannot wait for the photos to come out. Highly recommend this studio!

I like to reserve reviews divisible by "100" for "special places." This is my 1,300th review (at…read moreleast as of today and without some mysteriously getting deleted as has happened on occasion), so I wanted the review to be SPECIAL... reserved for an experience that was perfect or nearly perfect in every way. The 1300th review goes to Brianna Caster & Co. Photography/Shy Hearts Studios. They very recently photographed my daughter's wedding, and the photographs, and the quality of the photographs, are truly stunning. Much like Jill W's review, I am the mother of the bride, and even further like Jill W, my daughter and her now husband reside in New York but got married out here (at Sierra La Verne specifically, another Wedgewood Wedding property). To say that it was a bit of a challenge to coordinate all this long distance is an understatement, but thanks to a great deal of perseverance, determination and people who take pride in their wedding-related profession(s), it all came together beautifully. I haven't figured out if Brianna Caster has moved on from Shy Hearts to her own photography studio, or if she still goes by Shy Hearts, but my daughter initially consulted her directly (through Wedgewood) and spoke to her at length over numerous conversations. My daughter was so excited by how thorough Brianna appeared, not to mention, they spoke the same language as to what the photographic goals were. My daughter even stated to me, "She totally understands what I want" and even felt an emotional connection with her. A few months after she booked the wedding date, however, my daughter was informed by Brianna that she would be unable to photograph my daughter's wedding due to the impending birth of her first child. My daughter was devastated. However, Brianna spoke to her and promised her replacement would be just as caring and thoughtful and in tune with what my daughter's goals were. She said "Cara" is just as talented. My daughter reluctantly said okay, and she and her fiance' took their chances by having their engagement photo shoot with Cara to see how it'd go. My daughter and (now) son-in-law chose a variety of those photos, put them in an album, which then became their wedding day sign-in book, so I guess she liked them!! Then, fast forward another 4 months, Cara reappeared for their wedding, along with another photographer, "Rachel," and the rest is history. EVERYTHING TURNED OUT BEAUTIFULLY. For the 1,004 photos that were received...... and ONLY THREE WEEKS after the wedding I'll add, the styling, the backdrops, the quality, the posed shots, the unposed / natural shots, and the colors in these photos turned out gorgeous. They are as close to PERFECT as one could get. I am having a huge problem whittling the picture choices down..... I'm now with less than 500 that I can't live without. Can I make an album with just less than 500? :-) I think I need to whittle it down a bit more, but howwwwwwwwwww? They are all just so wonderful. So, the bottom line is this.... No matter where you live, if you get married in Southern California, use THIS photography studio. While Brianna is the leader of the pack, you can trust whichever photographer she sends you. They really know what they are doing, and for something as important as wedding photos, you will WANT what this studio produces. Simply gorgeous. Absolutely beautiful. Sheer perfection.

After having our wedding day photos be lost by another photographer.. NOT Brianna, we had a reshoot with her. A new opportunity to capture pictures that we thought to be lost forever.

Beautiful pictures that captured John and I's love for one another back at our wedding venue! She was professional, accommodating, efficient, kind and most of all RELIABLE!!
