I've now done three sessions with Pooja Photography, and each one has been an incredible…read moreexperience. Our 20th anniversary session in 2023 was unforgettable--it genuinely felt like getting married all over again. Pooja planned every detail with such care and intention. The entire process, from location scouting to outfit guidance, was so thorough that the shoot itself flowed naturally and resulted in some of the most beautiful photos we've ever taken. More recently, Pooja did a senior session for my son, and she made him feel completely at ease from the moment we arrived. She has a true talent for bringing out someone's authentic personality. Even our golden doodle adores her--Pooja somehow always gets the perfect shots with pets! She has also taken my professional headshots, and I've received so many compliments from colleagues. The photos capture my personality perfectly, and several people have already asked who my photographer was. Pooja is incredibly professional, warm, and meticulous. Every bit of her planning translates directly into high-quality images and a delightful experience. She has set the bar exceptionally high and is truly my first and only choice for photos. Highly recommend!

We didn't get to choose this photographer, it was through my child's after school program. The…read morephoto itself was decent, but I found the process to be pretty unusual and unprofessional. I've done a lot of professional family photos and this is hands down the highest price per image (unedited, that would have cost more apparently) I've ever paid. $40 for one image is pretty darn high. On top of it, we were required to put $20, non refundable, down because the photographer was very worried we'd remove the watermark. Watermarking is standard, I get that. Usually its a clear colored name of the business and that's it. Lol, this image is SO watermarked we were all laughing. You can barely see what the picture is that you're buying. I'm talking every color of the rainbow ginormous letters that cover the entire photo. It's not physically possible to remove this watermark, why on earth did we need to pay a deposit for this? I'm not personally one to remove watermarks anyway, but it'd be nice to be able to see the image I'm paying for.

We came across Radhika's page randomly and instantly loved her work. After our first conversation,…read morewe clicked with her right away--she made us feel super comfortable and had so many fun, creative ideas for the shoot. She was involved in even the tiniest details, from choosing themes and coordinating outfits to helping me pick my nail color, which honestly made me feel like I could completely trust her. She even spent an entire day on calls with us while we were shopping and sent over links for things we might need. We told her we wanted a natural, candid shoot--nothing too posed or cliché--and she totally got it. She found some beautiful fall-themed spots and captured exactly the vibe we were going for. On the day of the shoot, she made sure we felt relaxed and comfortable the whole time. Radhika truly goes above and beyond, and her passion for what she does really shows. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!

Jenny did an amazing job capturing our newborn photos. I had no idea what to expect for a newborn…read moreshoot but she sent us information ahead of time and reassured us that it would be casual and there was no pressure. This is EXACTLY what I needed as a first time mom with a 10 day old baby -- I was exhausted and feeling so overwhelmed but really wanted to capture such a special time! Our shoot went so smoothly, she came prepared with tons of props, blankets, cute clothes, and even a space heater! As expected, a newborn baby isn't the most cooperative (although he slept a lot of the time) and she knew exactly how to soothe and calm him when he got fussy. The photos came out so quickly and were so precious. I am sooo grateful to have these photos forever. I honestly didn't know if I really wanted to get them done because it was such a chaotic time but it was 110% worth it. We've gotten several framed and used some for our announcements! Thank you SO much, Jenny, for giving us the beautiful memories of our 10 day old son. We will be forever grateful!

My son was pretty grumpy during our appointment (he also threw up) but my gosh you wouldn't have known since the final pictures were of him smiling and laughing. As a mother I know how hard it is to capture an infants attention but Jenny did it. She has a true talent with kids and they adore her. If you have a baby or toddler you need to have Jenny take their picture. Kids grow up too fast but luckily Jenny is able to freeze very special moments in time as a quick reminder for us parents that kids are a true blessing. Thank you Jenny for being so wonderful and giving me pictures that my family will cherish forever.

Where do I start?…read more Karen is such a hidden jewel of a photographer. Our pastor/officiant recommended her after previously working with her on another project. From the onset, she was extremely responsive and communicative in both texts and over the phone. Karen worked with us on our "shotgun wedding", which was a daunting three-part series: (1) an outdoor wedding on a point along San Francisco / San Pablo Bay (with fog and wind compounding fast-changing temperatures and lighting conditions); (2) an indoor lunch reception with lots of moving parts in a relatively packed space (with poor lighting and limited angles); (3) back outdoors again, but this time, on the range with gunfire surrounding her while she's handling the camera. We also didn't keep the pressure off before the wedding: my best friend and "Man of Honor" is a professional photographer as well... he purposely asked to NOT photograph the wedding as he wanted to participate and be part of it, so Karen had to deal with me as a process engineer (nearly everything was metered out, with timed intervals down to the minute) and Mark with his technical background performing assessments. Armed with a four-page laundry list of shots and a Pinterest account as our Image Board, we shared the shots that were "absolute musts" and planned a solid 5-6 hour day. Karen delivered! She captured every shot we asked for. She also captured the playfulness, the solemnity, the posed portraits, and the candid interactions between my husband, my best friends, and our guests. Though the wedding was on Friday last week, we received the photos this evening (a Monday, three days later) and just spent the last hour grinning and laughing at the wonderful photos. Where Karen really shines is her outdoor photos. I can't recommend her enough.

She provided all outfits, decors and settings for the photo session, so all you have to do is schedule the time. Her outfits and accessories for our baby girl were so cute and had so many gorgeous options. She was CREATIVE and PATIENT with my kids and somehow even got them smile and look at the camera!! She was a real baby whisperer and was able to tame my baby's fussiness so well. We never felt rushed with time and the atmosphere she had a very calming vibe. Thank you for the beautiful photos we love them!

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!!!
