Fran didn't just take the photos but she got us all into natural poses, capturing kisses, tickles, and laughs. There was a beautiful shot where we're all linked hands and walking across the field that I was floored to see because it was so heavenly. I can't recommend Fran enough!

Fusion Moments was amazing!!! I cannot rave about them enough! My wife and I had a combined…read moreindian/chinese wedding. We looked around but eventually decided to book the combined package for both video and photography. We had an introductory meeting with both Tien and Joseph (Joe), which went very smoothly. We decided to go forward for the discounted engagement shoot with Joe and it went spectacularly. We loved the communication, the direction, and his willingness to work with both of us. After that shoot, we decided to book them for 2 additional events that we were planning. From start to finish, the whole process felt very comfortable. They were very patient, worked with our schedule, and brought amazing ideas. ------------- The products were amazing! All the photos are beautiful!, the highlight video and documentary videos are breathtaking. I have enjoyed periodically scrolling through them and reliving the moments Would definitely refer to any of my friends and rebook for future events. Thank you!!

I am most satisfied with Tien being our wedding videographer!…read more The communication: Deepa, the manager was very prompt in responding all my questions and was so considerate in offering his opinion based on my wedding plan and schedule. I almost immediately decided I would sign the contract. Tien was then quickly in touch with me and went through everything. Since I booked Tien last minute and my schedule changed a week before, I was afraid that we did not communicate well enough. But on the day of the wedding! Tien was so professional and you could hardly feel that he was there. He was always smiling and was very considerate and patient. He gave us many great tips in filming and how to get the best poses. I have to say I was lucky to have Tien there with us on the very special day. The film he produced is very artistic and romantic. It almost feels like a movie at the beginning. You can tell from my very blurry shots on my phone from the laptop. But still, It does not do his work in justice! I would recommend Tien to my friends and family if they are getting married.

She truly came to the rescue. Not only did she respond quickly, but she was able to fit us into her schedule within just a few days. From the moment she arrived, she was professional, calm, and incredibly patient with our newborn. She handled our son with such care and made the entire experience feel relaxed and enjoyable during what can be a very overwhelming time for new parents. The photos turned out absolutely stunning -- more beautiful than we could have imagined. She captured the sweetest little details and moments that we will treasure forever. Her talent, kindness, and willingness to step in last-minute meant so much to our family. If you're looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and exceptionally talented, look no further. We are beyond grateful for her and would book her again in a heartbeat!

Constance approached me in Rockridge when I was super pregnant at the end of October - she shared…read moreher business card, and I checked out her website. Really liking her style of photography, we scheduled a newborn photo session with Constance at the end of November with our two week old son. Constance was incredibly responsive and professional. Not only that, she is a baby photo whisperer - she had a bunch of helpful suggestions to help our time together go smoothly. She brought a whole bag of adorable outfits and props, and she was happy to let us choose some of our own outfits, too. For this session we decided to stay home and take photos around our house and yard, and they turned out beautifully. We are so pleased with these special keepsakes! Constance also made it easy to review the raw photo collection after the shoot, choose the ones we wanted, and deliver the final files all online. She also offers large size prints! In the future I'd love to do an on-location shoot with our son in the redwoods of Oakland. I already have ideas :) Thank you, Constance!

I had won a contest over Instagram for my pup. The Richmond is a little far off from home but we…read morethought the trip would be worth it to get photos of my little guy. Cyndi was nice. She was great with my little guy. The studio was clean and well organized. Now the rub. After the photo shoot we received the samples with watermarks and no-edits, and offered to pay for just the digital copies of the photo which seemed like a reasonable request. However, she said she would only release them if we purchased the entire package (like $3.5-4k. There's no pricing on website and price only disclosed after the complimentary photoshoot on some website link) for 30+ photos and even if she sold us the digital photos, it would still cost the same. Are you kidding me? For my wedding in 2023, we had 2 photographers and videographer, for over 5 hours, and that price tag didn't add up. Seemed a little shady to get you in the door and upsell you at a RIDICILOUS rate. Kind of a waste of time. We just opted for the "complimentary" 5x7 photo which still took like 4 months to obtain and we had to pay for shipping.

I have toddler twins, and getting a photo with all of us looking at the camera and smiling is a huge challenge. Cyndi was great with my kids--attentive and playful while snapping away, and quick to shift gears when their attention/mood changed.

Got a ton of compliments on the photos, and we'll be framing a few for the grandparents too! Highly recommend Cyndi--she does amazing work!

When I looked into Bay Area photographers for a fun and relatively informal photo session with my…read moresignificant other, I found no shortage of options, but one website and portfolio truly stood out -- Nightingale Photography. I knew from the moment I saw her work that Christina was going to be the right choice, and she did not disappoint. Tons of positives: - she was easy to communicate and plan with, even when I wanted to switch one of my locations the week of the shoot - she made us both feel comfortable in front of the camera, which is no small task - she was flexible with my ideas, but also brought her own to the table - photos were back even sooner than I'd expected, and were of the quality I'd seen on her website But I think what I liked best was Christina herself. She was extremely pleasant to work with, and treated my casual event with the same professionalism and respect that she would a wedding. She had very positive presence and brought a really good energy and enthusiasm to the shoot. She was a lot of fun and brought out the best in my partner and me. I'm so glad I selected Christina and Nightingale Photography, and she would absolutely be my first choice if I were to need a photographer again. Thank you!

Sandy is truly one of the most skilled newborn/family photographers in the bay area! I was lucky to…read morefind Sandy 4 years ago with my first born and the newborn photos ended up being incredible! It was an easy decision to go back to her with our second baby. Here are some of the ways that Sandy truly stood out: - Both our babies were born around Christmas holiday and scheduling was not an issue at all for Sandy. She checked in ahead of the appointment to ensure we didn't need to reschedule (much needed for parents that just gave birth recently) and had our themes ready prior to us arriving. - The themes were 10/10, better than what we could've envisioned ourselves. And our themes were generic such as lemon or Christmas. - The amount of patience Sandy has is seriously amazing! Our second baby was a bit harder to photograph compared to the first, in addition to a toddler who wasn't in the mood for pictures, and it didn't phase Sandy at all. She took her time to make sure she was able to capture each theme well and had tips up her sleeve to get the toddler to take some pictures. I highly recommend going with Sandy if you're considering photo sessions! She goes above and beyond to ensure all the special moments are captured and the pictures are so incredibly worth it.

And when it comes to her photography and editing skills, they are truly outstanding--just look at the edited photos, they're absolutely stunning! You won't be disappointed with Clairbare Studios and Sandy's gift for capturing beautiful, lasting memories of your little ones.
