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.

She gave clear direction when we needed it but was never intrusive, just professional, calm, and confident throughout the entire process. We felt completely at ease with her, which definitely shows in our photos. We're so in love with both our engagement and wedding pictures, her style is exactly what I was hoping for: soft, romantic, and incredibly flattering. She even traveled to the Fresno area for our wedding, which we were so grateful for. Truly couldn't have asked for a better photographer!

We cannot recommend Allyson Magda Photography enough. Jill was the photographer for my sister's and…read morebrother's weddings and I knew once I was engaged who I wanted to be the photographer. 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.

She was kind enough to squeeze us into her busy schedule last minute and capture beautiful photographs without me even knowing she was there.

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.

Thanks Rachel for everything!

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.

Our first thought is that Michael is SO KIND, calm, patient, and professional. He was instantly like a friend that we wanted around! He has a great sense of humor that makes you feel at ease from the second he walks in, yet he still manages the shoot. This results in beautiful and creative pictues that perfectly document those special moments. Michael was very respectful of our wedding day timeline and knew that we wanted to hang with our guests. He accomplished all the specific shots that we wanted and captured many more that we hadn't even thought about. He captured shots while blending into the background and we even forgot he was around since he wasn't too much in our face which made for very natural yet incredible shots. To our surprise, we received a preview within two days that just stole our hearts. The pictures were so crisp and creative and completely captured the emotions of the day. Whenever we share our pictures, others can't help but say how beautiful our photos are! We look forward to using Michael for future opportunities. In the meantime, so many others have asked for his info for their own events. The photographer is THE key documenter of the day. We couldn't be any happier with how he has forever captured our special moments.

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!

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!!
