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. 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!

Dylan captured our engagement so perfectly! This was a surprise proposal so I had no idea of…read moreanything and had no say in the photographer! I'm so glad my fiancé reached out to Dylan! Dylan was so nice, engaging, and even asked us if there were any poses we had in mind for him to take. He also asked me if I preferred black & white photos, grainy photos, candids, etc. I thought that was really nice to ask me that because it made me feel confident he would deliver exactly what I had in mind. He sent our sneak peaks to us within 2 days and the rest of the photos within a week. They came out perfectly. Better than I could imagine! I'm so thankful for this beautiful moment and being able to look back on it, thanks to Dylan and his wonderful talents!!

We are so grateful and can't thank them enough for capturing all the memories from our big day!

Fiancée here! There are not nearly enough words to describe the absolute perfect experience my…read morefiancé and I had with Jaydyn Blair Photography! She was phenomenal with communicating. She gave us our space when my fiancé asked me to marry him and was still magically able to capture these once in a lifetime intimate photos. After we took a moment to process that we had stepped into the next chapter of our lives, she guided us into poses to get the best photos for our engagement! She knew what angles we needed to look our best. It was all smiles and love. Jaydyn is efficient, kind, friendly, professional, and an obvious expert in her craft. There was no doubt. She was open to suggestions however, honestly there was none and I consider myself to be pretty picky. We felt safe and seen and more importantly like we were the only people in the whole wide world although there was other people on the beach, it didn't seem like it and definitely doesn't look like it in our photos, we are spotlighted. We got engaged at Pismo Beach right near The Cliffs Hotel and Spa! The view of nature was stunning. We highly recommend Jaydyn Blair Photography and couldn't have asked for anyone better to share this ethereal experience with. We are so grateful and thankful! Every time I look at the photos, I get emotional, it brings me back to the moment and I feel like I get to relive this out of body experience that is made possible because of the images that is a flipbook of our love story. I am in awe!

I can't thank Blake and Robin enough…read more I need to find better adjectives, but our wedding pictures and video teaser were BEAUTIFUL, warm and candid. Which is exactly what I was looking for in our wedding photos. Thank you for making us feel special and capturing these beautiful moments. Blake captured some awesome shots of my mother in law who despises pictures and is not shy about dodging the photographer, so he gets an A+ just for that! Thank you for your patience and working through our hiccups, which I'm sure no wedding is short of. Thank you so much for allowing us to incorporate Louie's car into our pictures which was a bit last minute but your team handled it so well and even made us look like models! You and Robin truly make an epic team. Wishing you guys many more years of success. If you are looking for a photographer and/or videographer, look no further.

Brandi was amazing. We are not from the coastal area so we weren't sure where to go. She gave us…read moreseveral options with so much information (like the way the tide hits the sand, whether it requires a lot of walking or if parking is hard). The site we picked was exactly right thanks to her wisdom and insight! She also helped give us the perfect kinds of shots we wanted by talking it out, having us set up a collaborative pinterest board, and getting to know our family a little before our meet up. Brandi paid attention to every little detail! Even tiny things--like sending our USB tied with a little flower and some Polaroid copies of a few of the best shots. What a beautiful surprise! Also, our 3 year old has Autism and I don't think we've been able to get more than 2 pictures with him looking at the camera. Somehow Brandi managed to perfectly capture him in every shot. We will treasure these photos for life. We were absolutely delighted to work with such a kind, conscientious, and wonderful photographer. We would HIGHLY recommend her for any family or individual photos.

He also makes sure you are 100% satisfied with your edits and takes the time to make any changes you ask for.
