Thank you Jessica for capturing my wedding day! Our wedding was very unconventional. We had to pull…read moreit together in less than two weeks due to medical reasons. Jessica not only offered to shoot our wedding super last minute, she also immediately jumped in to help with wedding planning. The process to working with Jessica is smooth and straightforward. She asks you to go over a contract so she can get all your information up front and you don't have to worry about it later. She is so diligent and detail oriented, it's extremely reassuring to know you're in good hands. On the day of the wedding, Jessica was not only professional, she was also comforting to be around making me feel very at ease with all the wedding jitters. She was patient while trying to wrangle everyone to get in photos. She gave great direction on capturing good moments. She never once made me feel like I was overbearing even when I know I can be. While I understand taking photos is one thing, going through them and editing can be a whole other beast, but Jessica sent us sneak peeks almost immediately! And boy those sneak peeks are unreal and makes me so happy to look back on while I wait for the rest to be ready. I'm so happy with how the pictures turned out. They were more than I could've ever asked for. In addition to taking amazing photos, she knew so many vendors and was a fantastic resource for us to be able to pull something together so quickly. She is truly a kind human above all else and should definitely be everyone's wedding photographer!

So so happy every time we finish a session with Jessica! We have used her for maternity photos as…read morewell as newborn photos. She is beyond patient, welcoming and professional. We always get SO MANY good photos! I am always so excited to get that special email with the final pics! Highly recommend her. You will not be disappointed.

I was nervous, I had never done a photo shoot before and I was nervous with it being at the beach and being around people looking at us...but she made it so easy and fun. She had us laughing and smiling the whole session. Pictures came back in about a week & we loved every single one of them. We will definitely come back to her once we are officially a family of four

I can't recommend Maricela enough! We booked a newborn photo shoot with her when my daughter was…read more1.5 weeks old. Maricela was so patient and kind - she went above and beyond to make sure my baby was comfortable (nursing breaks, white noise machine, portable heater to make sure she wasn't cold, and even a mask to keep her from getting sick!). The session was about 3 hrs and I got to just relax while she took baby off my hands. She has the cutest outfits and backdrops in her studio, so you can just show up and she'll take care of everything. Definitely will be using her again for family photos as the kids grow!

Travis Silva is the man behind Forgiven Photography and he did an amazing job shooting our proposal…read moreand wedding! I could not ask for a more friendly and talented photographer. He was inconspicuous on our special day, capturing our most special moments while not drawing attention to himself or getting in the way. He is truly a humble servant who cares more about capturing what you want! And he does it with his own unparalleled artistry! He even included boarded and framed color prints, and most amazing and beautiful wedding book I have ever seen. We get compliments on it regularly. It is incredibly high quality and we have no fear that it will fade or wear out, thing has card stock pages made to last and be passed down to generations of children and grand children, probably will last longer then our descendants ability or desire to remember us! :) For the proposal I hired Travis to be incognito while I surprised my girlfriend with a shabby-chic table fully decorated with food and drinks on the cliffs of Palos Verdes while the sun was setting. She was completely surprised and said YES! Travis captured WONDERFUL candids with tears flowing down her face and the priceless moment of me proposing on one knee. She had no idea until after the proposal that I had hired Travis. He then took fantastic posed shots. He made our proposal special and gave us the ability to share it with friends and family around the world! Overall I have full confidence in him, his business, and anyone he hires or recommends. He is affordable, and worth more then what he charges. You will enjoy him and the photos he takes. Furthermore, he is timely and quick about getting the photos back to you unlike other photographers. If you need amazing pictures taken and don't want to have to worry about what kind of quality person or product you will get, then use FORGIVEN PHOTOGRAPHY!

Travis Silva is not only a reliable, professional, photographer, he's also a lot of fun to work…read morewith! His work is beautiful, creative, and always captures exactly what I have in mind. He takes his time and does the job right rather than just getting it done, which I've seen happen all too often. He's passionate about giving his clients exactly what they want, but it goes beyond that...it's obvious that he really loves what he does and that comes across in the end result. His prices, especially for the quality products he turns out, are extremely reasonable! My husband and I couldn't be happier with the work he did for us. We very much look forward to working with Travis again on several more projects we have in mind. We are incredibly satisfied clients and give him our very highest recommendation!!!

Wow! Working with Nadezhda was amazing. I'm so glad we took our engagement photos with her! I…read moreactually had a rough experience with my make-up artist and hated my makeup for the photoshoot. I had wished that I wiped the makeup off and went natural instead, since it didn't highlight my features but actually made them worse. I told Nadezhda my concerns and she took the extra mile to photoshop out the eyeshadow so that it would look better. FAVORITE PARTS ABOUT WORKING WITH HER: - She's so kind and punctual. She met me on time, and listened to my concerns. - She was fast at returning the photos and making sure that I loved them before finalizing - She knows the great photo spots. She really does have an amazing eye for photography. - She worked with me on a spot we chose and did research beforehand so we would shoot in the best places. PARKING: TBD depending on spot you choose but she keeps this in mind. SERVICE: A+, I'd recommend her over and over again. She did my brother-in-law's photos too and they were absolutely stunning. PRICE: so reasonable for a wedding/event photographer! Overall, I highly recommend her as your photographer for any special occasion. She was so easy to work with and is humble, it just makes me want to support her!

We are so glad we chose Nadezhda for our elopement. She captured the cutest photos ever, including…read moreour dog, and even recreated a newspaper prop just like the inspo photo I shared. It was super windy that day, but everything still came out perfect thanks to her thoughtful eye for detail and how comfortable she made us feel.

Seriously, I don't love having my photo taken, but Velvet was so friendly and personable, she made sure my fiancé and I were comfortable for the whole shoot, she encouraged us to have fun, and totally worked with our ideas and brought our vision to life! I could not recommend her highly enough!

I can't recommend Velvet enough! She is beyond amazing and talented. She was able to capture my…read morelittle family of three in such beautiful moments of rawness. She has such a creative eye and moodiness to her work that set her far apart from other photographers. I especially enjoyed her chill vibe and can't wait to have her capture more photos of my family! And I'm still so impressed with her editing skills because she somehow made it look as if we were alone on the beach (rather than surrounded by the mass of people that were actually there!)

Janet is absolutely amazing! My husband, who is also a photographer, wanted to find someone to…read moreshoot family pics for our holiday card instead of setting up his tripod and lighting like he had done the last couple of years. He came across Janet's site during his search, and we've been very happy customers ever since! Our 1st shoot was me, my husband and our then 4 year old. 2nd shoot was a family maternity shoot. And we're looking forward to the next with our family of 4 :) Janet is super nice. She selects amazing locations. She's very easy to work with. Does a great job working with little kids. Often gets our pictures back to us sooner than her initial estimate. Has a great eye. Example: She was placing us in certain poses for a particular shot. Honestly, it felt very awkward, but she said "Just trust me. It looks really great." Low and behold, we get the shots back and it was our favorite out of the entire shoot. We had it blown up and it's now hanging over our fireplace!

Janet's work was love at first sight. When I first saw Vicky's photo (my lovely coworker who…read moreintroduced me to Janet), I thought OK, one day when I get married, I want her to take my photos. (but that was like 3 years before my now husband finally proposed... yep -.- ) Oh well! Such is life. I obviously loved Janet's work before even meeting her so you could say I am biased. When my wedding planned asked me what's the most important 3 things for my wedding, Janet came as top @2, ok obviously I need my family to show up to have good pictures (ok well maybe not considering my engagement photos were actually amazing as well). It was easy for me to put her into my budget. We exchanged a few phone calls and emails as I live in the UK. When I finally met her for my engagement photo session, she surprised me a bit with how "little" she looks. How did the little adorable lovely asian girl carry such a big fancy camera ?! Janet simply radiates positive energy and happiness... We took our engagement photo session at the Water grill because we love lobsters. It was a super fun session. We then went onto the beach and took more scenic shots. Considering my husband is not a photo lover, he really had fun throughout. He gave into my asian genes and took over 2000 photos with me during my engagement, pre-wedding and wedding session :D Janet being so amazing definitely made that happen. Many guests on my wedding day complimented how professional Janet was - they told me she was not invasive, but working hard to take candid shots. Honestly, how often does your guest specifically compliments or notice your photographer?! Wow x2 The outcome of the photos were incredible. We had over 2000 photos for the wedding. Janet surprised us with a beautiful photo box as well of the highlights photos. I plan on having her as part of our future journey as well capturing our lives as our family grow. I can't compliment her enough.

This is a long overdue review! We found Rhea through a friend who had an amazing cake smash…read moreexperience, and we're so grateful we did. We've now worked with her twice -- for our daughter's 6-month and 1-year cake smash -- and have loved every experience. We've worked with several photographers, and she is by far the best with our daughter. What truly sets her apart is her kind and incredibly patient nature. She makes everyone feel comfortable, and it shows in the photos. On top of that, her aesthetic is beautiful, and she makes the entire process feel seamless and easy. She is absolutely worth the drive, and her pricing is incredibly reasonable for the quality and experience she provides. We're so excited to continue working with her in the future and couldn't recommend her more highly!

Rhea is absolutely amazing!…read more My son's first birthday was quickly approaching and I wanted to get some photos taken. I was a bit all over the place with what I wanted and Rhea was incredibly patient and answered all my questions. We then set a date/time to meet at her studio to bring my son in. I let her know what the theme was for his party, and she took the initiative to buy things in theme that totally made the photo shoot. She was great with my son and got a bunch of smiles from him. Everyone who has seen the pictures, is obsessed. Rhea is super creative, incredibly talented and a pleasure to work with. We will definitely be reaching out to her in the near future as she also does holiday photos. Thanks Rhea!
