Lizzie is a dream photographer!! We had the absolute honor of having her do our maternity pictures…read moreand also with our 6 month old. She is so committed to capturing your vision while also providing her expert guidance to get the classic photos but also ones full of laughter and life!!! She was so patient with our baby and let me feed during the session and also took beautiful tasteful photos of breastfeeding. We are so glad we had Lizzie capture these monumental periods in our life and would highly recommend working with her.

We've had the absolute joy of working with Lizzie for two photoshoots--one when our daughter was…read morejust 3 months old, and another recently at 9 months with her grandparents--and I can't say enough about how special each experience was. Lizzie is wildly kind, grounding, and has this beautiful way of making everyone feel completely at ease in front of the camera. She doesn't just take photos--she creates an environment where you feel cared for, seen, and celebrated. Her warmth is contagious, and it shows in the way she connects with babies, adults, and grandparents alike. The moments she captured for our family are priceless--soft, joyful, and completely true to who we are. She has an eye for the quiet in-between moments and the big emotions, and somehow manages to bottle up all the love and connection in a single frame. We're so grateful for her talent, her presence, and her heart. Lizzie is a gift to any family lucky enough to be photographed by her.

We were looking for a local photographer for our newborn son, and found Christina on Yelp. From…read moreour first conversation over the phone, Christina's friendly demeanor put me at ease and comfortable in scheduling an appointment. She was very accommodating and booked our photo session ASAP, so that we could come in within the week while our baby was still only 3 weeks old to capture his newborn essence in the photos. We really appreciated her working around my husband's work schedule. Her studio is located in a beautiful and woodsy Orinda neighborhood, and we immediately loved her enthusiasm and wonderful way with the baby. She is extremely professional and thorough in her craft, but also very efficient. I dread photo shoots, and especially ones that take forever. We were in and out of her studio in about an hour, and the time went by quickly as she made it fun and painless. From this short photo session (which is the maximum time a newborn could handle anyway), she was able to capture plenty of wonderful shots of our baby, and of us as a family. I highly recommend Christina to anyone looking for a talented and gifted photographer, who is also professional and personable.

Christina's photography captured our wedding perfectly. I was very skeptical of "wedding…read morephotography" in general. Can't our friends just take the pictures, I thought? But after seeing Christina's pictures, I realized how important the photography is. Don't skip it. She took every type of shot imaginable: portraits, close-ups, candids, documentary-style, stylized (soft light, filters, etc.). She shot not only us, our family, and our guests but also the details that we even forgot to tell her to shoot: my purse, the table centerpieces, etc. She even shot my Dad smiling, which is hard. (Sorry, Dad, but it's true.) And due to some last-minute venue changes, we had to all-of-a-sudden abandon our original plans for portrait shots. She handled that surprise beautifully. Our portrait shots came out great. Plus, she's very reliable and easy to work with. VERY important when you're juggling 10,000 things with the wedding. If I could give Christina more stars, i would. She's great.

I tell everyone about working with Leigh Ann by first telling them about her intake form. It's an…read moreincredibly detailed form that asks about what you're worried about, what your children's personalities are like, and the question that hit home most for me: what about this point in time do you want to capture? It got me thinking about the special relationship I'm developing with my twins, particularly since this was our first photoshoot just the three of us post-divorce. The fact that Leigh Ann asks such thoughtful questions made me know she gets it. These are more than just family photos. They're telling a story, capturing memories and feelings from this time in our lives. Not only did Leigh Ann capture that relationship -- in all its silliness, love, and intimacy -- in incredibly breath-taking photos, she made the entire experience so worth all the stress, time, and money. Family photoshoots are stressful and exhausting. As a single mom, I can handle the kids on my own no problem, but photoshoots are a certain type of kryptonite. I think because I actually have to pay attention to myself too and try to look presentable? For some reason I felt really nervous about the photoshoot, like I wouldn't be able to handle it, that the kids wouldn't smile or cooperate, or they'd want me to carry them both while I was lugging bags full of props and outfit changes at the beach. By the time we met up with Leigh Ann, both kids had fallen asleep in the car and I fretted that we were able to have two of the crankiest toddlers on the windiest day of the year. It was going to be a nightmare. Nope -- Leigh Ann was so great with my kids, she immediately won them over, and won me over because she had a wagon that we could put all our stuff in (and promised the kids they could ride in the wagon on the way back)! Honestly I was so exhausted by the time we got to the actual photoshoot, I don't remember much of it. It felt like I was on autopilot. But the entire time, I knew I could trust Leigh Ann. I knew she'd capture amazing photos, so I let go of all the pressure and expectations, and just watched her interact with my girls. She knew what to say to get them to smile, to run up to me with glee, and she was SO SO SO patient. She also has an amazing eye and got really creative, beautiful photos of us with the sunset. I could go on and on, but it all boils down to Leigh Ann being SO amazing. When I got the photos back, I knew I had to buy them all. There was no way to narrow it down to just 30. I'm so glad I got the chance to work with her, and I can't wait to work with her again next year.

This photo shoot was long overdue, 9 years overdue to be exact. We were so blessed to have found…read moreLeigh Ann!!! What an amazing experience!! I am so happy with our family photos!! I couldn't believe how easy and comfortable she made us all feel. It was just like walking in the park with a family member we haven't seen in years. Leigh Ann knew how to use her camera to capture the best in all 7 of us, our dog included! The session was all of 2 hours and she gave us memories that will last a lifetime! All the photos are so beautiful! We loved them all! I know the pricing may originally look overwhelming. It made my jaw drop at first glance. But when you finally receive your final edited photos....YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED! Her talent in capturing just the perfect moments was amazing! I bought every single one of our photos. I couldn't pick 15 or 30 prints. At this point, price was not an obstacle for me. I needed ALL of the photos! They created a special moment for all of us to share. Thank you Leigh Ann for sharing your talents with the Diaz family! We appreciate you capturing this moment in time for us. Beautiful memories made that day! We are so grateful!

I worked with Chloe to photograph my engagement proposal with my now fiancée! She was really…read morefantastic to work with. And the photos came out beautifully! Chloe did a great job of capturing the essence of the moment. I'm completely satisfied and would work with Chloe again. It was my first time hiring a photographer, and she very carefully and responsively walked me through the steps. I especially appreciated our scouting of the area before the proposal so we had a better sense of where my fiancée and I would be and where would be great for photos. Things went without a hitch the day of the proposal. My fiancée didn't realize Chloe was trailing us, and as I mentioned above, the photos came out great!!

We had the best experience working with Marissa for our wedding! For one, she has an amazing…read morepersonality - she is fun and lighthearted, so easygoing, AND also very responsible and on top of things (which I so appreciate)! For two, we had the unfortunate timing with COVID of having to postpone our wedding and our engagement shoot, and she made it super easy. She helped me many times in the planning process, from walking through the timeline, to picking out my bridesmaid dress color. Day of, she contributed so well to the fun vibe of the day, kept us on time and therefore not stressing out, and captured some AMAZING photos of us! She also captured so many awesome candids during our day, that looking back you can really see and remember how people felt, what the vibe of the day was, and the funny things that happened too (like spilling white wine on my dress;)) Thank you so much Marissa!

We were so lucky we got to work with Marissa on our wedding day in September. Right off the bat,…read moreMarissa is responsive and answered all of our questions - she made everything so easy from the get go, even before our special day. She worked with us and provided timelines ahead of schedule which our wedding party and family/friends appreciated (because of this, everything went smoothly). Most importantly, Marissa is so down to earth, has great energy, easy going, and so much fun to work with. Every time we look at our wedding pictures, it takes us back to that day and puts a huge smile on my face. Her photos are absolutely amazing. What we love most is that besides capturing the posed photos, she is incredible about capturing the candid shots throughout the day. After the wedding, the photos are available about a month later and you have the options of downloading the photos you love. It was honestly hard to pick our favorites. All of our wedding guests even commented how she did an incredible job of capturing all the smiles, emotions, and laughter that took place. We can not recommend Marissa enough. She is simply the best, you will not be disappointed. Thank you so much Marissa for being part of our special day.
