I am still speechless and in awe when I look at our wedding photos - Carlee made us look like we…read morebelong in a magazine and was just the most fun to be around. She is communicative, easy going and so professional. My now husband is a photographer himself and had the most respect for and fun with her throughout the process. We loved getting to know her through our engagement photoshoot (part of the photo package we purchased) and made the day of so seamless and fun knowing her better and that we were in the best hands on the biggest day of our lives. To top it off, she delivered us 1,500 photos within a couple weeks of our wedding - a day I spent staring at the magic that she captured for hours and sobbed tears of joy re-living in the most incredible and fun ways. Highly recommend Carlee for any wedding, engagement or family photos - she is the absolute best and most talented around and we are so lucky to have had her capture our day!

Carlee is FABULOUS!! I cannot recommend her enough. Just book her…read more Carlee took senior photos for me and my brother. I had never done a shoot before, and I was nervous I wouldn't like my photos; I'm pretty self-conscious and picky about pictures of myself. I did an incredible amount of research (there are so many photographers in SLO county!) before going with Carlee. She was perfect right from the start. She guided me through each step of the photoshoot process, including pricing and choosing a venue, and was always consistent and clear in her communication. I had a lot of questions and she was very patient with me. When my brother and I met with her to do the shoot, I was pretty anxious. Carlee immediately calmed me down and helped me get into the process. I ended up having a really fun time! I got my photos really quickly, and I LOVE them. They are original, natural (no cringe here), and absolutely beautiful. I actually like pictures of myself! My entire family is also thrilled with the photos. I cannot stress enough how talented she is. Thank you so much Carlee!!

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.

And then when our hard drive crashed and we lost all the photos, she made them all available again to us, and with a gentle recommendation to put all the photos on our Google Drive, which I did! Thanks Rachel for everything!

Allyson was easy to contact and always prompt with her responses. Jill arrived on time and was able to pick out awesome spots for pictures despite never having been to that venue before. Jill made my husband and I feel at ease and super comfortable throughout our shoot. She gave great suggestions and helped us pose for the best pictures possible. Jill definitely prioritized our requests and made sure that we got all of the portraits we wanted. Again, I absolutely recommend Allyson Magda and her awesome team of photographers.

We chose Kirsten to be our wedding photographer later this year. We just had our engagement photo…read moresession recently and OH MY GOSH she is just incredible. First of all, I want to be her best friend. She's so kind, super funny, she matched our banter well and we had so much fun with her. I have never been a fan of being in photos, and when I opened ours I actually cried with how happy I was this them. To make me feel so happy, to capture our little family and our love so well when we're both awkward people, is something so beyond talent, hard work, experience and skill. First of all, I totally forgot about engagement photos. She followed up a little bit after booking with her, and we set a date that was a ways out as my fiance was injured and wanted to wear shoes rather than a rehab boot Then, she asked if I need outfit help. I work a job with a uniform, and have two t-shirts and one pair of jeans that double whammy as my work jeans and nice jeans, so the answer was yes. She asked a few follow up questions to determine what our style is. Within an hour she had made a Pinterest board for us with over 50 pins of outfits for the both of us. It was perfect and thanks to her shopping for this photo session was a breeze. Then the time came for us to be in front of the camera. Kirsten learned very quickly that we avoid cameras But within minutes, thanks to her coaching and prompting, we were able to let our guard down, be silly, have fun and have some wonderfully intimate looking photos. She went above and beyond walking our property, finding nice spots, getting us to loosen up and be comfortable, and she included our pup Maggie in everything she could! When we tried a photo I thought would be cute but wasn't working because the puppy was being a puppy, Kirsten said let me try something, and was able to photoshop the shot for me. So silly but something so kind and considerate of her to do. Can't recommend her enough for her skills and her personality, and I am so excited to have her on our wedding day and will be a loyal customer throughout our life.

I would highly recommended Heather for any and all photography needs.
