    Corinne is THE BEST. We have been using her for, newborn photos, family photos, milestone photos, and holiday photos for the past 4 years. She is a phenomenal photographer and has a unique way of bringing each person's personality to life in her photos. She is WONDERFUL with babies and little kids. Our family has such a fun, easy-going experience with her for each and every one of our photo shoots with her. The photos always exceed expectations and are absolutely beautiful. We love Corinne and will be using her for years to come.

    Corinne is an artistic genius with her camera. We have done four photoshoots with her this year (maternity, birth, newborn and 8 months) and every time the conditions have been extremely challenging (as they are with babies - and we have twins!). So every time we've worked with her I'm like "Oh man, I hope she got at least one good picture!" and every time she has gotten SO MANY amazing pictures that I don't even know what to do with all of them. For example, she came to the hospital to take pictures of my twins the day after they were born, and it was CHAOTIC to say the least. Then it turns out that we had an important doctor's appointment scheduled for literally 15 minutes after she arrived, so we had to get the pictures done really, really quickly. This didn't phase Corinne, she just started clicking away and we got dozens of amazing pictures that we were able to share with friends and family right away. You guys, Corinne is a baby whisperer! She has three kids of her own and is very confident in her ability to work with any kid, no matter how much crying, screaming, pooping they do. She somehow got both of my girls to look adorable in the same picture - that RARELY happens and she did it time and time again! Corinne has an amazing eye and talent for finding the best in all of her subjects - she even managed to make this hot mess of a mom feel beautiful. She takes direction really well - even if it's just a little bit of direction, she knows what you mean and runs with it. And I love that nothing she does is cliche. Just simple, beautiful, captivating photos that we will treasure for years and years to come. Finally, she's fast with the delivery of the images! She always shares a few pictures right away so that you can have some instant gratification, and then she gives you the complete gallery within a week or two before the anticipation really starts to drive you nuts and/or your kids are already a year older! This is not something you'll find with other photographers. These memories are fleeting, so it's important to document them in the best possible way. You will not regret asking Corinne to be your photographer!

    Corinne is my absolute favorite photographer. Her work speaks for itself. Not only is she extremely talented but also patient, super easy and a blast to work with. We have used her for maternity photos, family photos when my son turned 1, and as soon as I found out I was pregnant with my 2nd, I booked her for newborn photos. I booked her before we even announced to our closest family and friends! The only reason we did not use her for my son's newborn photos is because we happened to be pregnant at the same time (and giving birth) on the same day! What I love about Corinne's style is that she uses natural light and has a way of making anyone who is uncomfortable in front of the camera look completely relaxed and natural. She is patient with squirmy toddlers and somehow produced over 40 pictures of my son smiling and looking at the camera when I thought for sure he did not look at her once! She also turns photos around faster than anyone I know and she will even send you teasers on the same day. I am always blown away by her photos and continue to be amazed by her work. I'm so glad I found her and will be using her for years and years to come!

    My husband and I booked Corinne for our maternity and newborn photos, we couldn't be happier with them! Not only because we now have beautiful photos to remember this major life milestone but also because Corinne made taking the photos effortless! I am not a good poser and need a lot of direction, Corinne gave great guidance during the session and posed us in body flattering positions. During the newborn session she was patient and thoughtful when posing our son, who had a newly healed fractured collarbone. I highly recommend Corinne and have already booked our sons first year photos with her this upcoming December!

    Our family has had the pleasure of having our pictures taken by Corinne for the past 4 years. Every session we have had with her is always amazing- I should say, our PICTURES are always amazing!! With 3 energetic boys under 7 years old, Corinne definitely works her magic in the middle of their running, jumping and wrestling. Corinne is so patient and understanding with our boys, and knows just how to get them smiling. Her pictures literally take my breath away. We received so many compliments when we've used her pictures for our Xmas cards. Besides taking our yearly family portraits, she also helped us with our birth announcement and newborn pictures. I feel so lucky to have her as our photographer and look forward to our annual sessions to come.

    This review is long overdue as well. Corinne is amazing - just look at her portfolio and you'll understand. :) We first worked with Corinne for our newborn photo shoot. We had to reschedule last minute since I ended up back at the hospital with an infection. Corinne was super accommodating and came meet with us about a week later. We were in love with our newborn photos! Fast forward a year and Corinne came back to take photos of our now 1 year old. Our daughter has major stranger danger, but she did a great job making her feel comfortable. Also, she somehow took amazing photos through all the fussing. She has been with us through the major milestones and we treasure her photos. We look forward to working with her again!

    Corinne is a lovely person and an amazing photographer! I booked her maternity + newborn package but we were unfortunately unable to do the maternity shoot because I ended up giving birth the day before! Nevertheless, she was so incredible to work with. We communicated back and forth via email for two months before the scheduled maternity shoot, discussing local venue options and even outfit choices! Corinne was always so kind, helpful and responsive. My emails were answered promptly, usually that same day. She was flexible and accommodating, too, allowing me to push back the maternity shoot when I was worried my belly wasn't quite round enough yet and again when the Napa fires made conditions unfavorable for an outdoor shoot. (Of course I wish I hadn't postponed our maternity shoot in hindsight, but that is neither here nor there!) When my baby came early, Corinne didn't hesitate to offer to come to the hospital for a Fresh 48 instead. Though we didn't take her up on that offer, it was so appreciated and just shows her compassion, dedication and willingness to make her clients happy. Due to the sudden and chaotic arrival of our first child (almost a month early), my husband and I ended up doing our newborn shoot later than most, at 5 weeks. Corinne spent a generous amount of time in our home to make sure she got the perfect photos and she was ultra patient, waiting out a feeding and (because she's a mom) was completely unfazed by crying, spit-up and poopy diapers. Even though our daughter wasn't a super sleepy newborn, Corinne was a pro and still managed to get those adorable sleepy newborn shots :) She really is the baby whisperer! What I love about Corinne's style of photography is that it is not overly posed with tons of props. Her photos feel natural and easy. They let the beauty and wonder of your baby shine through. She also captured great "lifestyle" family portraits in our nursery that we will cherish forever. Honestly, I tend to pick apart photos of myself and after Corinne left our home I felt instantly panicked that I would hate every image and that there wouldn't be a photo of myself with my daughter that I would like enough to share or hang on the wall. (Women, especially new mamas, can be so self critical!) All my fears were erased when she sent 10+ teaser photos THAT VERY NIGHT. I loved every one of them and cried happy tears. Not to mention, I was amazed at how quickly she edited that little sampler. We received the rest of our album exactly a week later and my husband and I were absolutely thrilled. I used our very favorite images (over 40!) to create printed albums for our families for Christmas and they were thrilled with the photos as well. We all couldn't be happier that we chose Corinne to capture our sweet girl and this special time in our lives. I'd recommend Corinne McCombs Photography in a heartbeat, and look forward to putting all that maternity shoot venue research to good use by scheduling an outdoorsy family session in the near future :)

    Wonderful photographer. My newborn photographer cancelled on me last minute. I reached out to Corinne on a whim and she photographed my newborn the week of. Newborn pictures are so important and I couldn't have been more pleased.

    Corinne is AMAZING!!! I was fortunate to find her on Craigslist almost 5 years ago and she has been photographing my family ever since. She recently took newborn pictures for our second daughter and I could not have been more pleased. Thank you Corinne for creating such beautiful memories for my family.

    We have used Corinne for three separate photo shoots in the last three years, and she just keeps getting better every time! We most recently had newborn photos taken of our daughter, and every single photo is amazing. Corinne is a true artist, and I love how she makes everyone feel so at ease even with a camera pointed at them. Watching her work with newborns is really something; I like to refer to her as the "baby whisperer." You've never seen anyone with so much patience. I actually picked up a few baby soothing techniques from her that I put to use every night! I'm so happy to have found a photographer to capture all of our family's priceless moments, and we look forward to future sessions.

    We love our photos! Seriously I'm still amazed by them. We did our maternity shoot and newborn photos with Corinne and I get so many compliments. I've already booked two more sessions with her. She is definitely the photographer will will go to for all future family shots. The quality and number of photos you get don't compare to anything else I've seen. She was so easy to work with even for my husband who really dislikes this sort of stuff. She made us so comfortable and captured amazing moments. I can't wait for our next session!

    I'd been following Corinne on Instagram for several months when she opened her new studio. As soon as I saw pictures from the 6-8 month sitter sessions she had been doing in her studio, I knew I had to book a session for my 7 month old. And I am so glad I did! Corinne is a very talented photographer and is fabulous with kids. The session was fast paced and was the perfect length for kids. We were in and out in about 40 mins with a few different outfits taken in a variety of poses/locations in the studio. Corinne has a really cute client wardrobe with little outfits, bows and flower crowns as well as an assortment of props (bowls, baskets and blankets). I'm now recommending Corinne to all of my friends and will most definitely return for session when my little one turns one!

He is a rare combination of detail-oriented, timely, professional, organized, and on the ball mixed with super fun, funny, energetic, patient, excellent EQ skills, and overall making you feel comfortable and relaxed, like you're friends just hanging out. His ability and talent to find the best places, frame the photos, get you in the right lighting and centered, and have you look your best are unparalleled. Evan is also able to adeptly navigate and direct crowds of people in a way which is never bossy and makes it fun in the process. For example, there was one auntie who was holding a kleenex tissue while setting up for one of the photos; he noticed and gently asked her to give it to him, receiving many laughs along the way. He also made sure every face could be seen in the larger, extended family photos. We got so many compliments about him from our family members about his ease with all the guests. He was also very well liked by the church and venue coordinators. Leading up to the wedding, he's super responsive by email. We also chatted over the phone and skyped with him. Setting up times/meetings is a breeze. He's got these awesome timelines, spreadsheets, and other helpful items. And he really listens, takes notes, and works with your likes/dislikes on poses, styles, all the usual stuff. He's such a joy and pleasure to work with over the months leading up to the wedding, and we were so lucky to have him capture so many special moments. Our engagement photos turned out phenomenally, and our wedding photos are amazing as well. He and his team made the experience and whole day a blast, and I definitely recommend him without any reservation.

In my profession I give away free things from time to time not expecting anything in return, but Who offers free shit and then gets a shitty attitude about it? Her pics are mediocre at best and trust me after reading her ridiculous contract and dealing with her snide attitude, it's definitely not worth the headache. Book elsewhere. Shauna poor delusional you. When did I request your services? Never. I have you in my inbox requesting to shoot us for free for exposure for YOU. Also How was I to know your child was in hospital? You didn't relay that info to me? Your exact words were that I was "established" which was your reasoning for asking for free publicity from me and my man. I was looking for a professional when you requested that we do YOUR AMATUER ASS a favor. I agreed to use you only because you came to me for a service. Which you showed up for on the wrong day and I found a babysitter asap to accommodate you. And my daughters bday is on sept20th no one was scheduled or rescheduled that week so stop lying.

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 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.

Jin met with us at the venue a few weeks prior to scope it out and review our schedule, as well as discuss a photo plan. We got along with him great, as he is very warm, personable, and thoughtful. During the wedding, he worked behind the scenes and his presence was barely noticed. Jin must have had a tremendous challenge taking some of these photographs, because our adorable, albeit uncooperative one-year-old was crying throughout the ceremony and afterward. Yet somehow we still ended up with hundreds of beautiful photos from Jin, including of our tearstained doll. He sent them in groups. I think we got the first ten within about a week, then maybe 60 within a month, and the rest within 3 months. Before the wedding, we told Jin we thought we didn't need a million photos, just of the main events and a few planned ones, but he correctly pointed out that your own wedding day ends up being kind of a blur to you until you see photographs of it, and it's good to take as many as possible throughout and also to think about and plan which posed photos you want to take. He ended up capturing so many beautiful moments that we will now remember forever, and I'm glad we trusted his experience. We might have otherwise sent him home early and missed so many stunning photos and great memories. I would recommend Jin's photography highly, and I'm glad to serve as a reference!
