I stumbled upon Tristan Quigley when I was researching another photographer who came recommended to…read moreme and I am so glad I did! I was in charge of organizing a multigenerational family session with some hard people to please. I was drawn to her pictures, the lighting and the way she captured families. Everyone in our group agreed that Tristan was amazing. Tristan went above and beyond with her communication through the entire planning process, offering to accommodate the unfortunate weather circumstances during Christmas weekend. She showed up with a very warm demeanor and was professional and kind throughout the entire ordeal. She was even able to cheer up the kids who became fussy during the session. Not only was the actual photo session fun and organized, the final product exceeded our expectations. I cannot say enough good things about Tristan, I highly recommend her and look forward to using her in the future.

The end product turned out amazing and our experience was beyond great. She does in-home shoots which made us feel more comfortable with a young little one, and allowed us to use his nursery and our dog in the shots! Her quality was amazing and her talent and patience were key to the process. We can't wait to use her again!

The first thing I noticed about Tiffany was her speed of response and how accurate she was in describing what she did, how long it took, where to do it and what it cost. Then came the emails and the texts with examples and a to-do list. I was to send her pictures of myself in outfits - and she commented on each one with her professional eye and we chose three. She was also incredibly flexible on where to shoot. On the day of the shoot, I was incredibly surprised at her eye to detail, willingness to take a million shots, constant change in her own positions and the ease with which she made me feel at home. It did not end there. A week later, I had a zoom apt with her that blew me away. I wanted to buy all of them but decided on five. Just excellent work! Tiffany is amazing - I am hoping soon I can get my entire team's shots with her. Thank you Tiffany!

Tiffany is a master of her craft. I could not recommend her enough!

They are a perfect blend of artistic and dramatic, yet relatable. She made my husband and me (at 35 weeks pregnant!) feel comfortable in front of the camera, and her creativity and expertise gave us some truly remarkable images that capture the love, beauty, and tenderness in these important moments in our lives. If you get the chance, work with Tiffany. You'll be so happy you did.

Holly and Bruce did my engagement and wedding photos. They were so fun to work with…read more My fiancé and I got a referral for them through our wedding planner. Our main concern was we needed a photography team that was just as excited about our same-sex wedding as we were. After visiting with 3 potential photography companies we knew Holly Ireland was the most fun and of course had the best style to their photography. During our engagement session I think we worked them for the entire time we were entitled to. Three different locations all over San Diego County. Never once did they complain. Finally, for our wedding, they worked their butt off and produced photos that were beautiful and Instagram worthy. Being "customers for life" Holly shot our Christmas photos as well. She was great with kids. I can't wait to work with them again.

You can't go wrong having Holly behind the lens A+++ experience!

How do I even start!!!…read more You will never find a photographer like Monica. She is truly one of a kind. She pours her heart and soul into her work and it truly shows. Even upon first meet I felt SO incredibly comfortable. It's as if you're hanging with your best friend having the time of your life. I left our first photoshoot feeling like my husband and I just had the funnest date ever!!! She radiates so much genuine and sweet energy I don't even know if I can put it to words!! She will embrace your closest love ones and laugh with your friends on the dance floor. She comes early, stays late, and captures everything in between. Not to mention she's insanely talented as a photographer. The photos had me in literal tears and I still look at my wedding photos to this day thinking wow, how did I get so lucky to have her. Her editing, styling of details, framing, flash photos are quite literally out of this world. I felt so much peace that she was there on our wedding day because I had 100% trust in her. You would be silly not to hire her. Not only did I find an incredible photographer but I found a friend that I hold near and dear to my heart. I love you Mon!!!!

Simply put, there is NO one like Monica. An actual work of art comes out of everything she dreams…read moreup, touches, and imagines ... it makes me emotional trying to put into words what she means to us. Monica is a soul friend above all else; my advice when choosing a photographer for your wedding is to choose the person who you want to be there for the privilege of witnessing those moments most precious to you. She has this gentle and nurturing presence that immediately makes you feel like you've known her all your life. She will laugh and cry with your mom, banter with your dad, all while making her hard work look effortless. I believe this is the most rare quality in a photographer, and it's where she truly, truly shines inside and out. She's just a magnetic person who brings light to every interaction. She loves her people, and it shows. Now onto her talent - also SPEECHLESS. To feel (again, effortlessly) comfortable and confident in photo composition, balancing film & digital to perfection, daytime and nighttime flash, and her delicious/creamy/true-toned editing style... I have no words. She is the best of the best. I would trust no one else with my absolute favorite memories of my life :') Thank you Mon for loving us all to your core and for taking such good care of our most cherished moments. You are an irreplaceable talent in this industry and even more irreplaceable as a human and friend.

A year later, she took our family's pictures for our son's one year birthday (cake smash) as well as for the holiday cards. She has a studio at her home with plenty of snacks while you do your sessions. It's also heated for those chillier winter months. The props she has are amazing and add a lovely style to her photos. She has a natural talent for finding perfect poses and the experience to get great angles. She also does locations other than her studio for photo shoots. For our maternity pictures we were at the beach and for our family pics we went to a hiking trail. She's able to taylor yo meet your needs.
