From maternity sessions to newborn shoots and first birthdays for both of my children, she has beautifully documented every milestone. Each photo she delivers is stunning, and they only become more meaningful as my children grow. Looking back at them always brings me so much joy. Truly, once you experience Cathy's work, it's hard to imagine working with anyone else What sets Cathy apart is her incredible attention to detail and organization. She takes the time--before, during, and after each session--to ensure everything turns out perfectly. She's easy to communicate with, genuinely listens to what you want, and goes above and beyond to make it happen. Her studio is also spotless and welcoming, making the entire experience comfortable for everyone. Highly, highly recommend!

We had a hard time selecting outfits so she even looked for some outfits for us on Amazon. She took a family portrait of us with 7 adults, 1 baby, and 1 dog - amazing! Also we requested Chinese Zhua Zhou (brought our own props) in the photos to honor my culture, she accommodated that. Lastly, she's very honest about what's recommended and what's not based on the baby's attention span. I really appreciated that as a first time parent. In conclusion, highly recommend!!

We had such an amazing experience for our first family photoshoot. Sasha not only is an amazing…read morephotographer, but her kid corralling skills are unmatched. I was worried that it wouldn't be possible to get four young children to all look at the camera and smile at the same time, but Sasha is a super hero. She got all four wild children to not only smile and pose, but also to have fun! We had a large group of ten and Sasha was able to capture great group shots, as well as smaller family shots, and solo kid shots. The pictures came out so beautiful! We will definitely be making this an annual family photo tradition!

She has such a calming, natural presence that makes the whole session feel effortless, especially with little ones. Somehow she captures the most beautiful, genuine moments even when we feel like chaos is happening behind the scenes. Our photos are stunning -- the colors, the lighting, the emotion... everything is perfection. Sasha has a true gift and an eye for detail. These are the kinds of images that become family heirlooms. We are so grateful we found her and will absolutely continue booking with her for future milestones. If you're considering booking Sasha, do it -- she's truly the best!

From the beginning, he was very responsive and communicative about his services, expectations and things to consider for the big day. As someone who was planning her own wedding and did not have a coordinator, I very much appreciated his guidance and wisdom since he has so much experience with shooting weddings! He was very understanding and patient when it came to details regarding my timeline (which I sent to him only a week before the event). On the day of, we were running late in the morning, but Justin showed up early and even kindly stayed 20 minutes later than scheduled to make sure we could squeeze in all the group pictures that we wanted. Also, to both of our surprises, my uncle showed up with a camera, but Justin was very understanding and accommodating about the matter and made sure both he and my uncle were able to capture shots without getting in each other's ways. Justin did such a wonderful job positioning my husband and me for shots. We did not really come with any ideas in mind, but Justin had such a wide array of poses, both direct and candid, that we absolutely loved. He also did such a great job showcasing both of us individually and fluffing my train/highlighting the beauty of my wedding dress! Andrew, his son and the second photographer, was also so sweet and helped make sure the full effect of my veil was captured on camera. I am also so appreciative that they went out of their way and captured some special moments via video for us to have (we did not have a videographer). Overall, Justin and his team are extremely friendly, professional and flexible with the best possible attitude and careful attention to detail. I cannot believe the sheer amount of pictures that I received from the wedding day and how much time it must have taken them to carefully touch up and edit each and every single photo. Most of my pictures were taken indoors, but the lighting in the photos is immaculate. Truly, I am so grateful to have hired Justin and his team for my special day, and I would not hesitate to book and recommend him for any future photography needs.

The other- plain and simply, high caliber of professionalism, authenticity, and warmth that I've had the pleasure to experience after hiring KLK to work their magic for my engagement and wedding photos at The Ritz Carlton, Laguna Niguel, this past July. Firstly, my fiancé is not a fan of taking any kind of photos (downright hates the mere thought of it), but Paul changed that all for him during our short engagement and wedding photoshoot so that deserves an extra thank you, as I thought that was not possible. And to have many amazing photos to show for the least possible amount of time to shoot is nothing short of amazing, and illustrates the quality of output you would receive from KLK. Not only that, Kristi and Paul are the cutest, most down to earth and friendliest people you'll meet in the industry. We have only received our wedding teasers to date, and they were all outstanding. Can't wait to see the rest of the wedding images which KLK has communicated will complete in the next week or so - we also purchased a custom wedding photo book which we are very excited about! We can't recommend KLK enough and truly made the best choice picking them as our wedding photographers-- simply one of a kind!

From the very first message I sent inquiring about photos, he was kind, professional, and so thoughtful. When I shared that the session was for our family, including my mom who is fighting stage 4 cancer, he went above and beyond to accommodate her. He helped us choose a beach location that wouldn't require too much walking and made sure she was comfortable the entire time. He captured every shot we could have hoped for and offered us such a generous price. He also photographed my mom's surprise birthday party and truly made her feel so special. The photos are absolutely beautiful and are memories we will cherish forever. I promise you will not regret booking with him. He is not only an amazing photographer but also a wonderful person with a truly humble heart.
