Miranda is an amazing photographer! We did a family photo shoot with an infant, a 2 yr old and a 4 yr old. I THAT is NOT easy!! She still managed to capture some beautiful photos. She made my kids feel at ease and they loved the entire experience. I also did a head shot session with her and it was incredible. I'm VERY picky, but I loved several shots that Miranda captured. Again, she made me feel at ease and was able to pull out a lot of emotion and confidence throughout the shoot. I've done quite a few head shot photo sessions and never had an experience quite like this. I highly recommend this service, worth every penny!! read more

It was a rare and joyful experience being photographed by Miranda. I am very uncomfortable posing by myself in front of the camera but Miranda takes all that fear away. During the session you end up feeling like you're talking to an old friend because she is so personable and incredibly down to earth. I left feeling so beautiful and confident and my portraits definitely reflect that feeling. I chose her specifically for her editorial style and she did not disappoint. The studio in Belmont Shore is beautiful and she actually sits down with you to help you decide which images to pick. Excellent quality and premiere customer service! I highly recommend her and can't wait to go back in the future. Thanks Miranda! read more

I had a great experience with Miranda! SHE IS AWESOME! From the get go, she was responsive and informative through phone and email. She took amazing photos and provided a great review session also. The whole experience from start to finish was great and timely. I highly recommend her! read more

Miranda took some super cute pictures of me! On top of that she got them to me lighting quick. : )

Blossom Blue's owner, Miranda, took pictures for my brother's wedding. She was very kind and not pushy, like I've seen from some other photographers at other weddings I've been in or attended. She also did a great job of not getting in the way of things. I've been to weddings where the photographers were kind of everywhere and in-your-face. The photos looked beautiful and my brother and his wife were very happy. It's just a shame that I live so far away, or I would have Blossom Blue shoot some photos for me. Great job, Miranda. Thank you for making my brother's day even more special. read more

A hundred-million "Thank You!"s to Miranda Mirsec and Blossom Blue Photography!!! My Husband and I are going to look back when we're old and gray and feel so blessed to have our romantic beach wedding, and how perfect and fun it was, captured so beautifully! Miranda and her team went above and beyond our wildest dreams, snapping away during our ceremony while we barely even noticed their presence. During our formals - and during the fun beach shots we took with our bridal party - they were so engaging and attentive, suggesting attractive compositions, using areas of our venue that we hadn't even made note of and making us all feel comfortable and relaxed in front of their cameras. Miranda made sure to beautifully and artistically capture all our special moments in such a sweet and touching way. She truly captured the feel and mood and absolute joyfulness of the day expertly! We couldn't be more pleased! Wedding photography is something that can't be scrimped on. It can't be re-done, it needs to be right the first time and handled with care and professionalism and done in a style that speaks to the hearts of the couple on their Big Day. And did I mention what a sweetheart Miranda herself is? She's just wonderful to work with and truly loves what she does - and it shows! The passion she has for photography - and the genuine care for the people she is photographing - is evident in every single shot she takes! I would highly recommend her to my closest friends and family! She simply is the BEST! read more

Miranda is a beautiful soul who happens to take marvelous photos! We loved working with her, and the photos she took of us were exactly what we were hoping for. I'd looked at the sites of SO many other photographers, but their styles tended to be much too harsh for us. Miranda captured the lively, outdoor, casual spirit of our ceremony, and made everyone look good. She is such a pleasure to work with, and I highly recommend her!!! read more

Instead of kindly contacting me all this woman is doing is BULLYING and BASHING me on yelp. I do not even need to respond to the negativity. I had a bad experience and did a yelp review. You truly see someone's character after the fact. She did not care we were not satisfied until I wrote a review, I gave her the chance to help us. We were not happy with our photos, it was taken with light coming from the side so half our faces were shadowed which is more of an artsy look not business professional. My hair is blowing a lot due to a fan that was used. Very dark overall photo. I won't even talk about my pose and smile, I didn't feel like it captured the image we want. Also our group photo looks like a cheesy family portrait. But that isn't why I'm giving one star. The one star is because we weren't offered a reshoot or any type of partial refund even though I will not be using my photos. She took our $1400 and said sorry, to try somewhere else and was very condescending. I've taken many business photos in my 12 years in my career and have never been not satisfied. Sad to have this type of experience. read more

I recently was blessed to work with Miranda in a variety of settings and all I can say is WOW! Ive seen alot of photographers and photography in my time and the combination of Miranda's personality, passion, dedication, energy mixed with incredible technical abilities and experience is like nothing Ive ever experienced before. Engaging with Miranda was fun and easy and the finished products literally brought tears to my eyes. If you are looking for the best...you found it! read more

Just let me start out by saying that I didn't hire Miranda for my wedding. I believe that she is incredibly talented and her photos are beautifully done. That being said, there were a few reasons why I decided not to go with her. As far as her pricing went, it was over my budget for what I was looking for. I know she encourages her clients who have a tighter budget to spend the money for a good portrait session so they can at least know they'll have some good photos, but for the amount of money I was looking to spend, I wanted more than portraits- I wanted the whole shebang! She's an incredibly warm person, and she will tell you up front that her clients all become like family to her. That's great, and I completely understand that she's just wired to love everyone she comes into contact with. For me, however, I feel like that doesn't make for as good photos. If I wanted pictures that felt like they were taken by a family member, then I would have asked a family member to take them. I know that she's incredibly close with a musician. When we spoke on the phone prior to our consultation, I told her that it just wasn't in my budget to have a live musician play at our ceremony, and that I had already arranged to have my DJ provide all the ceremony music. She strongly encouraged me to rethink this as it makes for a better overall experience. During our consultation, imagine my surprise when her roommate/best friend/musician is invited into our meeting with her guitar. Don't get me wrong, Lina is very talented, and couples who hire her are very lucky to have her. However, bringing in someone for what felt like an audition during a meeting that was supposed to be about photography felt a little off putting. Lastly, I was a little surprised at her pricing. After having a really engaging conversation and talking about what felt like everything from wedding details to family, it felt a little impersonal that at the end of the consult, she handed me an envelope. Even if her pricing is the same for every couple she meets with, it would have been nice to feel like after taking the time to get to know my fiance and I, she could've taken some time to personalize a quote. Again, ultimately, Miranda was out of my budget, and I went with a different photographer who did beautiful work for less money. I have no regrets, but wanted to offer some insight as to why I may not have booked her services. read more

I loved my time with Miranda! I chose Blossom Blue Photography to help me create an on-line presence with a new business venture. With an eye for branding and extensive experience with social media, Miranda was the perfect choice. She went above and beyond to ensure that I was happy, and that my photographs represented my new "brand" effectively. I have received SO MANY complements on the headshots, but more importantly, I am PROUD to show and see them! Miranda laughs easily, gives support and advice openly, and shares her thoughts honestly. I thought I'd never find a photographer like the one I loved in L.A. Miranda proved me wrong. read more

Miranda is an awesome photographer!!! She is very professional and loves her job:) I would recommend her to anyone!

I am impressed by the photography skill of Miranda. I do know her and am extremely satisfied with the beach couple shots she did for my husband and me, just before our first anniversary. I look forward to using her for baby belly shots (when the time comes). read more

I just had the chance to work with Miranda over the weekend at a wedding, and she was amazing! She was very prompt, professional, and so sweet! She kept me updated with any changes that were made and took time out of her busy schedule to have call with me. I'll definitely recommend Blossom Blue Photography to my future brides! Looking forward to working with you again soon. read more

My husband and I were very fortunate that Miranda agreed to shoot our wedding in September 2016, as she is shifting her focus more toward portrait photography. She was so incredibly easy and fun to work with, and very talented! She has an eye for the art, and we look forward to working with her in the future for our family portraits and other special events. She is worth every cent and then some! read more

Miranda is so wonderful...as a person and a photographer. She did a family session for us and was so helpful in the many many little decisions that went into getting to the final piece of photos on our wall. She was so patient with me and was so understanding and had many suggestions to help me get the 'just right' package for my family. The photo album she put together for us was just magical and I can't wait for future ones that we'll do with her. My wall piece came out beautifully thanks to her beautiful photographs. She really puts her heart into her work and it shows. Don't let your pictures sit in a drawer or in a digital file on your computer! Do something with them and you won't regret it! Miranda strives to make a difference in people's lives with her photography by capturing beautiful memories for her clients and I have to say, she has made a difference in ours. Thank you Miranda!!! read more

Our family has had photos taken by Miranda for the past 8 years. My granddaughters baby pictures are so precious, we can treasure them forever, as they are printed on high quality material that can be passed down. She also took our old wedding photos from so long ago and made a gorgeous album we are so proud to showcase. We will continue to have her capture these moments, because they truly are spectacular. read more

We hired Miranda for our August 2012 wedding in Rancho Palos Verdes. We were pleased with how comfortable and natural she made us feel. She was very calm and flexible, and she gave some great tips on general wedding planning. She did a great job engaging us, our guests, and especially the kids. We love the little taste of pics she gave us on facebook, and cannot wait to see the final product! We would recommend Miranda and Blossom Blue to our closest friends, and look forward to working with her again for more of life's milestones! read more

Miranda is amazing and takes fantastic pictures!

I went to a bridal pampering and Miranda was there giving away engagement sessions and design sessions to all the brides there. I was immediately excited because let's face it.. that's pretty awesome! So I grabbed her card and immediately contacted her. She called me the following day and I have to say- I can't think of a time when I've been more insulted. My fiance and I are college students, both of us working 2 jobs, and my dad is retiring in December so there's only so much he can contribute financially to our wedding (which we totally understand). Therefore, we have a super tight budget and we're doing a LOT of stuff DIY. I'm STOKED for my wedding and I am in love with my theme, colors, the venue, etc... but Miranda had nothing but awful things to say about any of it. In more professional wording, she told me that we were being cheap, that our budget was ridiculously low and we'd never have anything good quality at our price point, and that it was selfish of us not to hire a sitter at a local hotel and do a night wedding so the parents could have a night off from the children. She also dared to tell me that if we don't up our photography budget to at least twice what I spend on my dress, my dress will look ugly in every picture and my pictures will suck. I was appalled. It's one thing for me to tell a vendor, "I'm sorry but we're on a low budget so I can't afford you but thanks for your response, etc..." It's a whole other thing for the vendor to tell you, "Sorry but you can't afford me" after nit-picking why every single detail you've planned is going to result in a chaotic, circus-like wedding day. Well I'm so sorry I'm not rich enough or proper enough for you, Miranda, but as far as I'm concerned- I'm GLAD to be unable to afford you and I wouldn't recommend you to my worst enemy. read more

when you first contact Miranda it is like talking to a family member that really wants to help you! she worked out dates and times over and over with me so very sweetly and when we met to get the job done with our three granddaughters it was like meeting a family member. she was just great working with kids 7 to 16 and had them laughing and not posing but just so natural. they loved her too and her work is more than magnificent. it will be a wonderful experience for you, your family or to whomever is lucky enough to get photos of your loved ones. Sheila read more

Miranda is a wonderful photographer! Her warmth shows through each photo she takes. Looking at my wedding pictures, it still takes my breath away. She also took shots of my children and I love the pureness and joy that she captured in their eyes. Thanx Miranda! You are the best! read more

Miranda is fantastic!!! She takes the time to listen to your needs and creates your vision. The wedding album Miranda put together for me is beautiful. She went above and beyond to make sure that I was happy. I am pleased to give her my highest recommendation ;) read more

Highly recommended! It was a very pleasant experience having family pictures taken by Miranda. She was fabulous getting my shy infant to "pose." I think she lost track of time while doing the photo shoot! She was also very patient with my multiple follow-up requests. read more

Miranda is the most exceptional photographer I have ever met. She not only takes the most beautiful pictures, but she also captures the essence of the moment. I have had the pleasure of her taking all my maternity, newborn, and family pics since my first was born. I look back on the photo albums and pieces of art she has created for me and remember exactly what my family was like when the photo was taken. True lifestyle photography! Her work tells my family's story so well! She also creates amazing keepsake items that are heirloom quality. I can't wait to have many more sessions with her and to one day pass these items on down the generations to tell our story. Thank you, Miranda!! read more

We have had a great experience with Blossom Blue and Miranda. What probably sold us in the beginning when we booked her for our newborn shots was that she travelled to our home. We have since done more shoots with Miranda and have always loved our photos. read more

Miranda did an awesome job at our wedding. She was very professional, reasonably priced and very easy to work with. I would use Miranda again and I would highly recommend her services. Very friendly and creative, she made a very nice memory book for us to keep for years to come. read more

Miranda is a amazing, creative, & accommodating photographer. I have used her as a photographer for several occasions. The most recent, she took beautiful pictures of my infant daughter. There is a softness and kindness to the way she shoots. Miranda is extremely patient and works very well with children, she gets them. She was very accommodating to my schedule and working out a time and location. I couldn't ask for a better person to capture the special moments in life! read more

There is no photographer like Miranda. I was extremely camera shy before Miranda took photos of me during a 2 hour session. Miranda gently coached me and I became comfortable and discovered I can actually be "photogenic" with the right photographer. my best friends loved the results and one wished she had known about Miranda before her wedding. Take a look at Miranda's website before choosing a photographer. You will be impressed. read more

Blossom Blue Photography truly deserves an overall rating of 5 stars. Miranda and her team were exceptional to work with both before, during and after our wedding. In the pre-wedding period, Miranda was always available for advice and suggestions on how to make our day run smoothly. On our wedding day, Blossom Blue Photography's crew made us feel relaxed and comfortable - which is one of the reasons why I highly recommend them. They were fun, adventurous and very professional throughout the whole day. We knew we were in good hands and that we would get some amazing pictures out of it - and we most definately did! Today, 4 months after our wedding day, I can't even explain how happy I am that we went with Blossom Blue Photography. We have gotten so many compliments on our pictures and we enjoy looking through them over and over again.Thank you Miranda and Blossom Blue Photography! We will definately be back for baby pictures in a couple of years :) read more

Miranda did our family photos again this year and we are so happy with her work. She is ever so patient, understanding, and loving in her work and all that she does. Once our holiday cards were ordered, I received them within 2 days! The cards were suitable for framing! Today, I just opened up a package and it was the locket I ordered from Miranda just a week ago. It is perfect and I am so happy! Miranda is so talented and it is very evident that she cares about her clients and the work she does. She takes her time and ensures the kids are comfortable before getting started with the photo session. Everything seems so natural and the little details Miranda catches are amazing! read more
