I was NOT disappointed! Going with Shannon for my special event was the best decision I made for this project! The photos turned out at the exact level of quality I saw and loved when I checked out her work. We LOVE our photos! There were so many great shots. Shannon is incredibly sweet and disarming, she has an amazing artistic eye, she's very organized, professional, and responsive. She communicated timely and respectfully, providing all documents and invoices in an easy and professional way. I always knew what was happening and what I was getting. Shannon accommodated our desires and requests, including what to highlight in the photos. She was great at posing us in natural and flattering ways. I wanted a certain location for the photos, and Shannon happily accommodated that but she also recommended trying an alternate site nearby in addition to what I asked for. Boy was I happy she did that! The alternate location photos turned out amazing and are my favorite! This woman has an amazing eye!! I literally can't say enough nice things about this person and this business. I really really hope to have the privilege of working with her again! I plan to reach out shortly to request her for a future project! I HIGHLY recommend Shannon and her services!!!!

I was so nervous, as it was my first time really out with my newborn... Sara made the whole experience a breeze. I loved sitting back and watching her in her element.

Sara captured such a memorable time in our lives, and I am so grateful!

This last time, in May 2025 it was slightly more difficult because my toddler was also in the photos. They exceeded my expectations! She is worth every penny! Her and her assistant go above and beyond to make sure you get every shot you want! They have so many outfits, wraps, headbands and props to choose from that you don't have to worry about bringing anything for your newborn. You are in the best hands with Sara!

This includes newborn, 3 month, 6 month, 9 month and one year photos. So far she's done the first three (my baby is now 7 1/2 months old) and I freaking LOVE all the photos I've received so far! Jillian was flexible and knows perfect locations for photo sessions. For our newborn session, she came to my house (if a newborn photographer doesn't do this, don't hire them. New moms should not be traveling!) and was patient throughout the whole session. The three month photos were also at my home, and the six month photos were at a nearby park that she's familiar with. I can't wait for the next two sessions! If you live in the Bay Area, hire her. You won't be disappointed. She's fun, has lots of props and clothes for babies, and has a great eye. Plus she will get your kids and babies to smile. That's a gift right there, seriously. I wish I'd gotten professional photos done of my son when he was born in 2011. I'm so grateful that he was included in some of our daughter's newborn shots - better late than never! I will definitely be hiring her for future family sessions.

We were thrilled with the end result! More so, I can testify to Jillian's commitment to excellence; she assured me if for any reason we were not absolutely ecstatic with our photographs she would be more than happy to provide a complimentary shoot until she met with our satisfaction. After having a series of disappointments with other photographers, I can safely say Jillian has restored my faith in the profession. I will be more than happy to hire her in the future as my family grows and will encourage others to do the same.

I was looking for a photographer in the Brentwood area as a graduation gift for my niece. She was…read moregraduating high school, and I wanted to make this moment extra special for her. I came across Kree's Yelp page because of how close she was, but what really stood out was her website--the caliber and vibrancy of her photos were incredible. I knew right away she'd be a perfect fit for capturing my niece, both in her cap and gown and in her super colorful prom dress (which I was confident Kree could do justice!). From the moment I reached out, Kree was super responsive and easy to communicate with. The contract was simple and straightforward, pricing was fair and the breakdown of her packages were awesome. and she helped us agree on a time and location that worked perfectly, not far from our house either, which was a huge plus. On the day of the shoot, Kree arrived right on time and immediately made my niece feel comfortable. Since it was my niece's first time being professionally photographed, I appreciated how Kree guided her with poses and gave her direction to bring out her best angles. She was friendly, patient, and made the whole experience fun. We received the edited photos about two weeks later, and they were amazing, better than I could have imagined. Kree truly captured my niece's personality and the significance of the moment. Highlights for me: super responsive communication, an easy-to-understand contract, a convenient location, her friendly demeanor, and of course, the beautiful final photos. Thanks so much Kree!!!

Responded quickly, was flexible, transparent and had a great attitude, something I don't take lightly. For me personally when I hire someone its not all about the bottom dollar, who wants to save a buck, get crappy work and not enjoy who your working with? That's often what you get when you trip over a dollar to save a dime. Robert showed up twice at my clients home. I didn't need to babysit. He took care of business. Clients were very happy with him which is a reflection of myself as their agent which is critical as well. Robert made numerous schedule changes for rain, natural light schedules inside the home and got me my pics on a rush exception of 24 hrs. I paid him a little extra for that. I don't put my life on hold for 48 hrs without a price and I don't expect anyone else too, however Robert did. 5 star service all the way. I will be using him for all my future real estate listing photo needs. Steve Eveleth REMAX 925-487-2246

She was flexible with the location for the setting of the photo shoot, she told us to pick three locations but I did not really have a place in mind. She had her own recommendations and after researching the locations she suggested, we concluded to one which was at Sycamore Grove Park and downtown Livermore. Depending on the location, it might have a parking fee but the photographer paid for this expense. She allowed two outfit changes. She shot multiple photos and was very comical when instructing my child with poses. We were given more than 50 edited images to select from, package we chose allowed 25 image downloads. A link with a code was sent to my email. The invoice was paid prior to the session and was sent to my email. It was a wonderful first professional photoshoot for us.
