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!

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.

I knew immediately that she was the right photographer for our group by her friendly responses and her expert shoot location recommendations. She exudes positive energy and happiness and truly made our shoot FUN!

Holly was the first vendor I hired - over a year and a half out from our wedding, before we even…read morehad a date set! We were initially planning a March 2018 wedding, before finally settling on September 2018. Holly was great and very flexible with us changing dates around. I met Holly and her husband Bruce before hiring them - they left a great first impression, they are full of energy, professional & great people. Holly photographed our engagement photos in an unconventional way. My now husband was coming home from a 6 month deployment on a submarine & I wanted to have a photographer there and have those as our engagement pictures since we had gotten engaged right before he left on deployment. He came home from his last deployment in May 2017. Holly was very accommodating with our situation and not knowing a lot of details ahead of time due to operational security. The photos turned out beautiful, and we even got shots with my husbands family that was visiting from out of town. Holly made everyone feel comfortable and got through the pictures in a timely manner! Fast forward to our September 2018 wedding, I had sent Holly inspirational pictures that I wanted re-created on our wedding day & she made sure that we got them all! Holly and I had a phone call about a week before the wedding to discuss family shots and not to miss pictures, she provided lots of great suggestions along with taking my ideas into account as well. Holly was prompt on our wedding day meeting the ladies at the hotel and got to shooting straight away. I knew that Holly would blend in just fine with the moms and girls, she's professional yet personable. Bruce usually shoots with Holly on wedding days but he had a family accident and was unable to attend. Holly provided a wonderful substitute photographer - Derek of Derek Chad Photography. He was a wonderful addition and blended right in. You could tell that they had a great connection as photographers and worked well together! Holly and Derek were both extremely accommodating on our wedding day - they were available to us when there were group shots we wanted to get, yet they made sure not to miss all the details. The turnaround time for our pictures was phenomenal, I was in awe of how fast Holly returned the photos to us, she had the photos to us NINE DAYS after the wedding! I've heard of some people having to wait months, I'm very impressed with the turnaround time and the quality of Holly's photography! Holly was familiar with our venue and our getting ready location, the Coronado Community Center and the Glorietta Bay Inn. We were running a bit behind on the wedding day - Holly ensured that we were still able to get in all of the pictures and navigated Coronado like a pro! We are so pleased with the final product & the delivery of the product! I can't wait to display the photography around our future house and share with our families for the holidays. I hope to work with Holly in the future for all of our photography needs! Holly is professional, attentive to detail, and always energetic - you can't go wrong with booking Holly for any photography needs!

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.

On top of that, he sent us sneak peeks the very next day, which made us even more excited to see the full gallery.

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.
