I had a great experience during my 3 month old mini session. Bethann provided various props and backdrops for my baby's session. Her home studio wasn't enclosed which was important to me during the pandemic. I was surprised how many pictures she got in 15 minutes and I received ALL the pictures edited to download through PASS app in a week. Definitely will look forward to other mini sessions! read more

I picked Bethann for our newborn shoot after researching and reaching out to 10 different photographers in the San Diego area and comparing 1. Price 2. Quality 3. Digital package 4. Reviews. I'm so glad I did!! Bethann had the best prices by far that include ALL DIGITAL IMAGES. Many other photographers only included a few prints or you had to order ala carte from them or pay an arm and a leg for digital cd. With her it was all included. We bought a 2 shoot package, newborn shoot and a family shoot (scheduled 1 year from now). I can't say enough good things about my experience with Bethann! We did a newborn shoot with my baby AND my sassy 3 year old. Baby Josslyn didn't want to sleep and my 3 year old Scarlett didn't want to cooperate but Bethann made magic happen. She got both kids to take beautiful pics. Her studio is wonderful, it is cozy and has TONS of props to choose from. Bethann allows ample time to breastfeed and help baby get to sleep over and over again between set ups. Took us about 3 hours and we got a ton of shots. My 3 year old only stayed for first hour then Hubby took her home and we continued with baby shots. Bethann will also leave the room to give you privacy and time to relax with baby between shoots so that the time there is not stressful but more enjoyable. She has tons of tricks to help baby sleep. Highly highly recommend! I will post pics here once I get them. For now I'm posting the teaser shot that she sent me :) read more

Bethann Greenberg Photography - My 3 year old Scarlett and my newborn Josslyn. - Photographers Near Me

We chose Bethann Greenberg Photography after looking extensively online for 1 year smash cake sessions and I am so glad we found her! Her colorful and crisp photos caught my eye and I emailed her right away. She wrote me back quickly and I loved the products and the fair pricing that she offered. We went with the 1 year cake smash session with a family session beforehand at the park. She went above and beyond at both sessions and I could not be happier with the results. I also adored the backdrop she created for the cake smash...she made sure it matched my daughter's party colors and it looked AMAZING! I also particularly enjoyed that she also baked the cake for the session...it saved me tons of time and hassle and looked perfect! I highly recommend her and have been referring my friends already...we will definitely be using her again the next time we need pictures taken. Love! read more

We love Bethann! She made our engagement photos sooo gorgeous! I hate cliche photos, we dragged her with us to the Del Mar Faire and did photos there and they turned out great! My two favorite are in giant baroque frames in my living room. They wouldn't have had the same effect if I had gone to another person. We also have her booked for our wedding, so I am excited for that She's very sweet and personal. We barely talked about pictures when we first met and instead just had a funny casual conversation. She offered us a really great deal on a package which definitely helped us so much, similar packages would have cost us $5000, I never understood why getting a book in a package would throw the price us. Luckily for us she was so responsive and helpful we got a great deal with a book and 2 parents books. I can't wait to have a baby for a cake smash! read more

I've known Bethann ever since she was in Kindergarten (friends with my sister). She was always the 'life of the party' =) Once I found out she was a photographer and started following her work, she just becomes more amazing with each event she does. She captured the perfect moment during our maternity photos and these will be something our little girl will love for the rest of her life. I wish she was around for our wedding, but now we have tons of new life changing events to hire her for --- only if she lived in Phoenix, I would have her shoot every event!!!! read more

We had a great family/smash cake session with Bethann for our daughter's first birthday. We met up with her at a park and then headed over to her studio where she had put together a colorful background and baked the cake for her to play in. She was friendly, professional, and we are very happy with the resulting pictures. Her style is soft and candid, and she does a great job of capturing a moment. We look forward to working with her for pictures when our family grows again. read more

Let me start by saying if you do not hire Bethann you are doing yourself a disservice! A close photographer friend sent me a list of recommended photographers in San Diego. After looking at each portfolio I found Bethann's. I sat with my now hubby and best friend and scrolled through her portfolio and blogs. We were all 3 blown away. I knew right then I had to book her! Bethann is so accommodating and kind. We met for the first time the day of my wedding. I felt so comfortable around her and she had no problem making my husband and I laugh. Our wedding was small and intimate and she captured the day exactly how I wanted. Her photographs are so beautiful, light and romantic. Not to mention the fact that I received my photos very quickly. All of my married friends were impressed with how quick the process was. I appreciate Bethann and her willingness to work within a budget as well. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for beautiful photos. I know I can't stop staring at our pictures! read more

Bethann Greenberg Photography stands out in the world of photographers! Her work is simply breathtaking and she captures raw, candid emotion absolutely beautifully. I never hesitate referring my Bride-to-be's to Bethann, confident that she will do everything to exceed her clients' expectations and wow them with her finished masterpieces. Check her out, and be prepared to fall in love! read more

Great photographer! I chose Bethann for my daughter's 1 year pictures and loved them all. We did family pictures and then a smash cake session right after, which was a lot of fun. Everybody compliments these pictures and I'm really glad I chose her. She was really easygoing and fun to work with too. I'm also a bit camera shy but felt a lot more at ease because of her personality and helpful tips. We definitely want to use her in the future when we have more kids. And I want to point this out because I'm surprised by the first comment that rated her with one star. On the contrary, I had the opposite experience. I thought I got one heck of a deal for what she gave me and never got the impression she was trying to get more money out of me. We discussed the rate beforehand and I thought it was very reasonable - and that rate never changed. I wasn't ever pressured to add on anything or blindsided by any "hidden" charges. I really didn't get the impression that this was Bethann's motivation. In the end she gave me a very adequate amount of pictures and we never felt rushed to get through the shoot. (She even suggested a spot she'd seen that she thought would make some neat shots, offering even more of her time than I'd expected.) In the end, I got more than I even expected. I would recommend her (and actually have when asked who took my awesome pictures) to any friend. read more

Bethann was referred to me by a co-worker to do my newborn photos. I must say that she exceeded my expectations. She has been awesome since the first time I contacted her. Very responsive, professional and easy to work with. My photos were received within two weeks which was unexpected. I received a personalized CD and a thank you card which shows me she took time to thank me for my business. I very much appreciate this kind of service. I have since recommended her to three of my pregnant friends. Thank you Bethann!!! read more

I'm the oldest of 8 and have 5 kids myself. Trying to photograph a group this big could be a challenge. Bethann was awesome, accommodating, and creative. Her work speaks for itself. Thanks Bethann! read more

Bethann was recommend to us by my makeup artist, Brittany (Brides by Brittany). I was really apprehensive about booking a photographer as I hate being photographed. But when my then fiance and I had our first meeting with Bethann, she made us feel at ease and very relaxed. We purchased a package from Bethann that included our engagement photo session and wedding day photos. We presented Bethann with a challenge for our engagement photos... shooting at Balboa Park... at night! I know that shooting in the dark presents a set of challenges, but Bethann was up for the challenge and our photos turned out amazing! I am shocked at the 1 star post about not assisting with photo times for the wedding. I had a completely opposite experience. Our wedding started at 6 PM., meaning it was going to be extremely dark after the ceremony to do all of the photos. We opted to have all of our photographs taken before the wedding. During the two weeks prior to our wedding Bethann and I emailed on several different occasions about the time line of events, and she even helped me figure out the timing of some of the various events of the day. Bethann showed up early to check-in with us and scope out the location. We received our photos back from Bethann ahead of schedule, and they came out so beautiful! I can't wait until the next event we have to use her again! Bethann, thank you for all your hard work! Everything came out even better than we imagined!!! Ray & Jenn read more

Bethann was our wedding photographer and she was so amazing to work with! We met with her a few times before the big day, and talked about our wants, likes, and vision and she delivered exactly what we wanted! She was so sweet during our wedding day and extremely quick and efficient so that we were able to get back to the party and enjoy ourselves. I loved the softness of the images and nothing looked over edited or processed. Bethann is extremely professional and responded to any emails or questions I had almost immediately. She made my Husband and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera (we hate taking photos) and I would definitely use her again for any future photography needs! read more

Bethann is AMAZING! She did our daughter's newborn photos and they are gorgeous! She knew more about how to get Lucy to sleep than I did! It was such a fun experience! She puts you at ease and captures priceless moments of your little one's first days! Babies change so fast and having these photos of our little girl as a newborn mean the world to us! Bethann is a gifted photographer and we are so grateful to have had her take our daughter's photos! read more

I did another photo shoot with Bethann at her studio for my son and it was great! She has the best backdrop and props as well as lighting and atmosphere. =) read more

We loved the wedding and engagement photos Bethann took for us. There are many photographers to choose from, but after my husband and I met with Bethann, we both agreed she was the best choice by far. Her photography is beautiful, she's straight forward and honest, and her pleasant personality made the whole experience fun! I love my photos so much I am constantly sharing them with friends and family. She really captured our special day and we are so so happy!! read more

My husband and I have used Bethann for our engagement, wedding, and most recently, maternity photos. We continue to use Bethann because she is professional, kind, and fun! For our maternity session, we headed to Torrey Pines Golf Course and she captured absolutely stunning images! She is incredibly talented and spends a lot of time making sure your session is exactly what you want and more. The images we received were above and beyond my expectations, and we can't wait to use her again come smash cake time! read more

Bethann was super flexible with our needs and ended up meeting us at the beach for a newborn photo shoot on a weekend with short notice. The shots were amazing and she came prepared with an outdoor heater and all the gear to keep our baby happy and healthy. read more

My family had such a great time with Bethann. She did a family photo shoot with me, my husband, and son, who was turning 1. She was able to keep him entertained while capturing some great moments. Bethann was also open to listening to any ideas we had. Before we even started she had a game plan of the different locations we were going to shoot. We were thrilled with our experience and the pictures! read more

I had newborn photos taken with Bethann. She was so great with my little boy. She is extremely professional and knows exactly what she's doing. I couldn't believe how well she was able to pose my little guy who is usually a bit fussy. She was an absolute pleasure to work with -- and best of all, the photos turned out spectacular. I highly recommend her. read more

Stay Away! I hate to do this but I don't want anyone else to experience what we have with Bethann. We won a drawing at the San Diego Bridal Bazaar for 5 hour coverage for $500, we were even looking to add to more time to the photography package. I was impressed at first and thought she would be fun to work with. Unfortunately, it was clear from the beginning she was looking to get as much money out of us as possible and it seemed like she regretted having this drawing. She is extremely unprofessional and hard to work with. For example she does not offer any help or advice on how to manage the photography time, she would just simply would respond with "I won't be able to..." I would not recommend her to anyone for wedding photography. I eve won almost a free wedding package and did not want her to take my wedding pictures. I choose to spend more money on a different photographer who actually tries and cares. read more

We had Bethann photograph our son's newborn session last month. The photos turned out great and we were very happy with the experience! Bethann was friendly, professional, and responsive and she worked with our son for close to four hours and successfully kept him calm, cool, and collected during the session so we could capture these special images. The resulting photos were adorable - we highly recommend her! read more

Bethann is awesome!!! Booking her was one of the first things we did when planning the wedding, and she was great through the entire process. She helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera through our engagement and wedding pictures, and she was able to get every single shot that I could have wanted. She also sent me a family picture list to fill out ahead of time, so we were able to get through family pictures as fast as possible! Our pictures came out perfect, and I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer!!! read more

My husband and I chose Bethann after seeing her stunning work for my brothers wedding. We got married 4/27/13 and were on a tight budget but knew we needed to have high quality pictures. So after we got a chance to see what she did with my brothers wedding photos we knew she had to be the one! When we contacted her with pricing options her fees were very fair and she didn't push any un-needed products on us. It was very simple to figure out what we needed and she was so helpful. In the days leading up to the wedding she contacted my several times to hammer out timing needs, organize family groups, and getting the details of the day squared away. BUT on the day of the wedding things didn't' go quite as planned...the entire schedule was thrown off initially and later there were groups of family members that I some how over looked, but Bethann was amazing! She adapted to the changes, was able to reorganize things quickly, and was so professional, not one feather ruffled. She was such a pleasure to be with that day, she interacted with all of the guests and was able to capture so many wonderful candids of my entire family. She mailed me my order exactly when she said she would. The prints were amazing! She has such a creative eye and documented the day perfectly. I will be using this photographer for all of my family portraits. read more

Bethann is fantastic! We have had her do our newborn shots, family shots, 1 year old smash cake, and our 2nd son's newborn shots as well. She makes it so easy and with little stress. She provides so many great things that all you need to do is show up. But if you want it customized to your preference she is up for whatever you want. She shot my son's 1st year smash cake photos and customized it to exactly what we wanted. She asked what I would prefer and she went with it totally and completely. I will cherish those photos forever. Both the newborn sessions she shot were so stress free and comforting that I will always be grateful for her and her talent. A week after having a baby you don't feel all that well and definitely drained...but she did not let the photos reflect that at all. They were beautiful and flawless. I hope Bethann knows how much I cherish these beautiful pictures I have of my sweet little boys and my family. I will continue to go to her--up next is another Smash Cake session! Hooray! read more

We chose Bethann Greenberg to our wedding phtographer and we couldn't be happier with the results! From the beginning, she was very quick to get back to our emails and answer any questions we had. She was not pushy in any way, and was completely open to any ideas we had for the big day. We were able to meet with her for coffee beforehand, which was great, because she wants to get to know you on a personal level. This helps you become really comfortable around each other and I'm sure also helps her have a good understanding of the the type of couple you are, so she can capture you the best way possible. Bethann worked with the time schedule we gave her, and although we were not able to have her take "getting ready" photos in our hotel room, we were able to do photos of the bridesmaids getting me dressed and ready at the venue. We did all our bridesmaids photos, groomsmen photos, and individual photos before the wedding ceremony began. So glad we did this before I cried my eyes out at the ceremony. We had hired 2 photographers (Bethann and a photographer she worked with) to take photos for 6 hours. They were able to take photos at the same moment from different angles (awesome for the cermeony!) During cocktail hour, she did all the bride and groom photos, bridal party and family photos. The other photographer took photos of the guests in the cocktail area. (another awesome reason to have 2 at once!) Bethann edits all the photos and gives you 2 sets (one set is low res with her logo for facebook, another set is high res with no logo for printing). Shortly after the wedding (maybe a month or so), we received a disk in the mail with over 700 edited photos! All of them are very high quality, all in color and some edited also in black and white. Great choice for a photographer and we will be using her for future photos for sure. Thanks Bethann! read more

Bethann was truly amazing! From our first meeting with her to months after our wedding, she has been on top of everything. My husband and I were very reluctant to do engagement photos but we could not be happier that we did. Bethann made it such a great experience and the pictures came out amazing. It allowed us to show her our style and get to know her- she is hilarious by the way! At the wedding my family and friends adored her. Bethann got us pictures very quickly and they are beautiful and easy to download and share with out families. We would recommend Bethann to anyone. She is professional and had an amazing gift. We are blessed to have worked with her. read more

We hired Bethann to do a newborn/family photo shoot. She came highly recommended from a friend and I was so happy that we went with her. She was extremely diligent in her communication and accommodating in coordinating our schedules. She simply made the whole process so easy! Not only did she take fabulous photos of our newborn/two daughters/family photos, but she was so friendly, fun, and flexible throughout. She was extremely patient in working with my toddler. We got the photos back super quick and our only problem has been deciding which prints to display in the house. So many cute ones of the kiddos!! I would definitely use her again for future events. If you decide to go with Bethanne, I can assure you that you'll be completely satisfied. read more
