I could not be happier with our choice of Rachel Higgins to do my son's senior portraits…read more From the first moment, Rachel was extremely professional, creative, and incredibly easy to work with. In my son's words, "She is super chill, and I felt comfortable the entire time. She is fun, easy to talk to and she made the day fun." Rachel utilized fantastic angles of my son while also incorporating the landscape of downtown SLO that really brought every picture to life, and all of the final images were amazing! Her use of lighting, composition and her attention to detail were perfect. We absolutely love our son's pictures, and highly recommend Rachel Higgins to anyone looking for someone to capture truly exceptional photography.

Rachel's experience really paid off because she had lots of suggestions and ideas for the photoshoot.

Thanks Rachel for everything!

A Truly Unforgettable Boudoir Experience with Gabby at Bareheart!…read more I cannot even begin to describe how absolutely amazing my boudoir photoshoot with Gabby at Bareheart was! From the moment I arrived, the energy was vibrant, and I knew this was going to be something special. Gabby not only created a professional and welcoming environment but also made the entire experience feel like one big, empowering celebration. I shared this experience with two of my best friends, who are also pole dancers, and from the start, we all felt completely at ease and totally in sync with Gabby's creativity. The session included professional hair and makeup, and I honestly felt like a goddess when I saw myself in the mirror. Gabby's skill at making everyone feel like the best version of themselves was remarkable. It was clear that she truly cared about making sure we were comfortable and confident, no matter how many outfit changes or fun, playful moments we had. The best part? There's an incredible wardrobe full of clothes and costumes to choose from, so you don't have to worry about bringing your own outfits or feeling like you need to know exactly what to wear. Whether you want to feel sultry, elegant, or playful, there's something for everyone! And the best part is--you don't have to know how to pose. Gabby is a master at guiding you through every moment. With her direction, every shot felt natural, and she made sure we looked incredible without any awkwardness. The whole session was about having fun and feeling confident, and Gabby was with us every step of the way, giving amazing prompts that made us feel totally at ease. One of the most incredible parts of the day was the pole session. As a pole dancer, I absolutely loved that Gabby encouraged us to incorporate that aspect of ourselves into the shoot. She captured our strength, grace, and athleticism in such a tasteful and beautiful way. My friends and I had such a blast sharing the shoot together; it felt like a true bonding experience, full of laughter and confidence. Gabby was always there with amazing suggestions, witty guidance, and gentle direction that helped us feel both powerful and playful. The final images were beyond anything I could have imagined. They were elegant, sensual, and empowering, yet full of the fun and joy we shared that day. Gabby's talent for capturing the essence of the moment is second to none--each photo felt like a piece of art. If you're looking for a boudoir experience that's not just about great photos, but about celebrating who you are in a fun, empowering way, Gabby at Bareheart is the person to go to. The entire day was unforgettable, and I will cherish these images forever!

One word - INCREDIBLE! Booking a family shoot can be anxiety inducing and Adam and Chelsea calmed…read morethat anxiety instantly. Working with them was easy, relaxing, and fun. We booked a mini session and I would have been happy with 1 good photo, BUT we got at least a dozen keepers. IN A MINI SHOOT. All that aside, the photos are art. Truly. They captured our family, our personalities, and our home of Morro Bay beautifully. 10/10 will work with them again. Thank you so much Adam and Chelsea

ZOMG, Adam & Chelsea were AMAZING!!!!! My now-husband & I…read morebooked them for our October 2024 wedding for both photography & videography (this review is long overdue, I know) From the initial consultation all the way to when they delivered the final pictures/film --- they were an absolute dream to work with. Our package came with a free engagement shoot but since we already had our engagement shoot, we invited them to come a day early (only if they could) & capture our rehearsal. They didn't miss a beat - they were there during our rehearsal run-through at our venue and were able to get a lay of the land prior to the big day. After our rehearsal, it was golden hour so of course, Adam took a couple shots of my husband & I (took not even 10 min) & let me tell you, from the previews he sent me THAT night --- I was so blown away with how beautiful they turned out. He definitely has an eye for it! FYI - Our package also came with an additional photographer & videographer. So when it came to the day of, they introduced us to James (from StateFarm, lol) & Laura. This completed the DREAM TEAM! Cannot stress how amazing it was to work with these 4, A. MA. ZING! Being the Type-A bride that I was, I provided Mooncrest with a Shot List on request & they delivered on that. They made sure to get the shots we wanted & even some bonuses that we didn't think about. This is why we leave it up to the professionals :) They were professionals but it also felt like we were surrounded by friends. I know they probably get this all the time, but they were hella cool & tbh, if we lived closer - they'd be awesome to hangout with. We received our final edited photos right before Christmas so it served as an early Christmas present to finally see pictures from our wedding & WOW, they turned out so beautiful! From the edits to the stolen (candid) shots - AMAZING (using that word for the millionth time in this review). When we received our Teaser Film, they also provided a "Message from your guests" video, which was a complete surprise for us & a wonderful surprise at that. It was so cool to see our friends and families wishing us well, behind-the-scenes style. Such a great bonus! Once we received our full wedding video, they provided a Documentary Edit so that we can relive the moments in real time - First look, private vows, ceremony, & speeches. So, something to make note of - during the initial consultation --- my husband only had one request, he wanted to make sure all the speeches were recorded. So I am guessing this led to them providing the Documentary Edit & we are soooo thankful for this. It's something we can watch over & over again & relive the key moments. Our final wedding film took the cake! Adam & his edits, geeez louis! This man has got the eye and talent. His edits were impeccable & we couldn't have dreamed of a better way of capturing one of the most important days of our lives. From the songs he chose (which he used our friend's cover who performed during our cocktail hour) to the cuts/transitions -- *chef's freakin' kiss! The day of our wedding went by in a blur but the photos and film captured, we will forever cherish. Mooncrest helped us remember things that happened during the day that we don't even recall because it went by so fast. We would recommend them to anyone and everyone. If you want pictures that look like they're out of a magazine and videos give you the feels - BOOK MOONCREST! You will not regret it!
