I highly recommend Bethany for you Maternity session or any family session... Since it was winter we had our maternity session in the studio and we loved it, she has a super cute studio with a large and romantic wardrobe for you to choose, she is very professional and helps you feel comfortable during the session, my husband and I had a very good time and it was definitely captured in our photos. The result was amazing, everybody tells me how beautiful my photos are. We will definitely go back for a family session!! read more

Bethany's attention to detail shines when you see the quality of her photography. She shot our maternity photos before we had our daughter and we knew we had to come back for a family session after seeing how the portraits turned out. She has a beautiful wardrobe available to borrow and was incredibly accommodating from start to finish. She was patient with us and our one year old and really knows how to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. I cannot recommend her enough!! read more

I admittedly have high standards when it comes to a photographer. When I was searching for someone to do our maternity/newborn pictures, I found myself coming back to Bethany's Instagram/website. I love her style and am so glad I found her! Working with Bethany was an absolute dream. I loved that she had a wardrobe available to borrow, so I did not have to worry about going shopping for myself or my toddler. From our first initial contact, Bethany was warm, friendly and communicated next steps clearly - which is much appreciated when navigating uncharted territory of two kiddos. She was very patient with our toddler during our maternity shoot and had me so relaxed during our newborn shoot. I absolutely would recommend her to any of my friends. read more

This review is SO overdue. You know when you look at Instagram or Pinterest and see all those dreamy maternity shoots? Well, that's exactly what I got from Bethany. The photos she took exceeded ALL of my expectations and she was a dream to work with. She was highly communicative, especially when the weather looked dicey the day we were shooting. She was also super flexible when it came to doing our newborn photos as our location didn't work as well as we thought. And last but not least, being able to borrow dresses from her was amazing. Just one last thing to worry about and the collection is amazing. I will definitely work with Bethany again in the future and have already recommended her to many friends. THANK YOU Bethany read more

A totally phenomenal experience with Bethany! My husband and I had our maternity and newborn session done with Bethany. Let me start by saying that not only were we satisfied with her photography work but the total experience including the products we purchased from her were beyond our expectations. To an expecting mom-to-be, Bethany took away the stress of finding the right outfit. She has a client wardrobe collection which was easy to navigate with pictures. In addition, she had no problem bringing multiple outfits to try on the day of the maternity shoot. She's very familiar with the shooting location and was able to give precise directions to the location, taking away any confusion. Her experience with lighting and use of natural light is not just portrayed in her photography work but it's also due to her ability to identify timing of the day and ability to adapt in changing uncontrollable environments. With our newborn session, she's shown us her "baby whisper" skills! She was able to capture our newborn son's sleeping, adorable moments. She's gentle and knows her way around babies! We are thoroughly thrilled with our newborn album and newborn announcements. Bethany puts in a lot of thoughts and details to her products including the packaging of the purchased order. The newborn album is of great quality, the paper quality is thick and pages lay flat. She took the time to design our album and announcement layout to our satisfaction. It's not an album you can just make with Shutterfly or other online companies. I highly recommend getting your baby announcements and photo albums from her. If you're considering maternity or newborn photos and adore the style of natural, soft lighting and colors, then you cannot go wrong with Bethany. read more

See all

This review has been a long time coming...time flies when you have a new baby! I can't say enough good things about Bethany! She is friendly, professional, and easy to communicate with. We did both maternity and newborn photos - everything came out beyond perfect! She has an amazing eye and the setting for the maternity photos is gorgeous, the most beautiful lighting that made me look like a goddess! She even has maternity dresses to borrow, so I didn't have to waste money on a dress I would only wear once. Highly recommend!! read more

Bethany photographed our maternity and newborn photos and we are just in awe of how they turned out! I am so glad we have these pictures to document such a special time in our lifes....these will be forever cherished. Bethany is so very talented, professional, wonderful to work with and can I say talented again!! Also, Bethany works with you on wardrobe for the shoot and has a selection of dresses to chose from if you want to barrow for the photo shoot. I did this for my maternity pictures and loved the selection! We look forward to working with Bethany this fall to have our family pictures taken! read more

Bethany is awesome! Our portraits are gorgeous, I'm in love with them! She's great with kids and super patient. I look forward to working with her in the future. Highly recommend! read more

After thoroughly searching through dozens of options for newborn photographers in the Bay Area, we finally settled on working with Bethany because of the beautiful images that we simply could not get out of our heads. Her distinct style utilizes light filled images, soft colors and special, candid moments between family members. We wanted similar pictures for ourselves to put in our own home! As chance would have it, our family was gifted with a newborn photo package with a different local photographer. So, I then approached Bethany about this, and she kindly offered to reschedule the session (we had already put a deposit down) at a different time when our newborn baby was a bit older. I am so glad we had the chance to work with her. The photos that she captured of our girls and of our family are priceless! She is not just a photographer, but a magician; because somehow, despite having two crazy and tired little kids to work with and a windy evening, she was able to produce a photo shoot full of frame-worthy images. Bethany was patient throughout the entire photo shoot and had all sorts of tools and tricks up her sleeve to keep the kids happy and entertained through the photo shoot. I am beyond impressed. It makes me wish we could go back in time and have Bethany capture the newborn photos, and even maternity photos. She is truly a talented artist and every family will find themselves delighted to see the sorts of wonderful moments she is able to capture. So many times, you pay a lot of money for a photo shoot and feel disheartened when you weed through a so-so gallery. This is never the case when working with Bethany. Her finished work is truly a treasure trove to cherish for a lifetime. read more

After searching on Yelp and asking friends for referrals I decided to try Bethany for my maternity and newborn pics. I was unsure as these pictures are an investment but after my sessions and I see how beautiful they turned out I am so glad I went with her. Her timeless, romantic approach was exactly what I was looking for. She really goes above and beyond with styling advice and makes you feel good during the session. Highly recommended!!!! read more

Our family recently did a LONG overdue family portrait and were lucky enough to find Bethany. I poured over online reviews and looked at hundreds of sample photos from dozens of photographers and landed on Bethany. I was hoping to get the photos for our Christmas cards but she was booked through January.....it didn't matter, I knew she was the photographer we were looking for. Luckily, she had a cancellation and was able to get us in....which absolutely made our Christmas. The communication in advance of the shoot was timely and professional, the entire process was smooth and painless, and the pictures came out AMAZING! I can't recommend her enough, thank you Bethany! read more

Bethany was a joy to work with for our maternity session! She helped style me with her wardrobe which then helped me style my hubby. She also went out of her way to reschedule with us mutiple times due to some crazy wet weather. All of our photos turned out SO beautiful thanks to her - she really knows how to pose a pregnant mama & make her feel so beautiful! Can't wait to work with her again! read more

Bethany took our maternity photos and I could not have picked someone better! She was so sweet and she made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Our pictures came out better than I even imagined and I get so many compliments on them! Thank you so much Bethany for the amazing memories you've captured for us :-) read more

Bethany Mattioli Photography - Session Photography Near Me

Bethany took the most beautiful pictures of my baby girl. I am going to treasure the photos forever. I am so happy that I found her. Please do not hesitate to book her you will not regret it! read more

If you are debating on whether to hire Bethany, search no further and just go ahead and book her. From the moment you interact with her, you will notice that she is super meticulous and professional. She is very involved throughout the whole process (from helping choose your outfits to asking what your child's favorite songs are ahead of time to use it during the photoshoot if needed). She has a beautiful collection of high end dresses you can borrow from too. I wasn't sure whether she actually captured good photos in an hour. I am a makeup artist that has been through countless photoshoots, so not only am I picky, but I've seen these photographers take like half a day to produce just a handful of good images. So I wasn't sure whether an hour was enough time. When I saw the photos though, I was blown away! She captured everything I dreamt of and more. My 2 year old (who is usually very shy) was extremely comfortable and she was able to photograph both serious and beautiful smiling photos of him. Our family looked so natural and happy in the photos. She even mailed the final images on a fancy flash drive and beautifully wrapped white box. Bethany is seriously the best! She is truly a talented artist! Look no further. You won't regret. Thank you again for the beautiful work, Bethany!!! read more

I am so incredibly happy with the way our photos turned out! I was looking for a maternity photographer in the South Bay that had a very natural feel to the way they captured their couples and I found Bethany. Her vision seemed to fit what I had in mind perfectly. Bethany made setting up the appointment, picking a wardrobe, and finding the location so easy. She even did her best to make my very nervous husband feel comfortable during the shoot. The hardest part was picking out which images I liked the best (I ended up just picking them all since I couldn't make up my mind)! I would recommend her in a heart beat and would definitely use her again! Thank you Bethany! read more

What an amazing talent Bethany has! We booked for both maternity and newborn photo sessions and I am absolutely blown away by how beautifully the images came out. Her style of photography is exactly what I was looking for: elegant, unfussy and beautiful. She is super sweet, friendly and is the utmost professional, so we felt at ease during our sessions. She also takes the guess work out of finding outfits to wear as she has a wardrobe full of dresses to choose from (super convenient when dealing with pregnancy hormones then raising a newborn). The album also came out perfectly and we have had non-stop compliments. Bethany is worth every penny! Looking forward to working with Bethany again for future family photo sessions! read more

Breathtaking photography! Having Bethany take pictures of our newborn was one of the best decisions we made. She captured our little Savannah perfectly and delivered pictures that we will cherish forever. Her attention to detail and overall style is what really captured my attention and the pictures I saw on her website really gave me a sense of what I would be able to have for my little one. I was not disappointed! I will continue to use Bethany for my baby and family's pictures. read more

Bethany is amazing! She takes so much time to work with us before, during, and after the photo shoot. It is so great to have her help with wardrobe, where the shoot should take place, purchasing and decoding with the finished images! We have used her multiple times and cannot wait for her to document our family again! read more
