When I first saw Alexandra's photos on Yelp, I knew I needed to have some family photos taken by…read moreher. So I quickly snatched up a spot on her fall mini sessions. The photos came out just as I expected! The quality is professional and every picture she captured is amazing. I love her use of natural lighting. It's just so beautiful and the picture really takes you back to the moment. This feeling is perfect because I want to be able to look back when my baby is a teenager and remember this special time. To top things off, she delivered the photos to me the very next day! Although, normal turn around time is between 1-3 weeks she was able to make it happen for us. The mini sessions are short but it's enough for her to work her magic. She is a bit further than where I live (I live in Ventura) but the drive was worth it. I would def recommend her if you're considering using her as a photographer. See photos attached.

During the session our daughter was more interested in checking out the scenery than posing for photos but Lexi was absolitely great at getting her attention. I was really worried about how many photos we would get that would actually be useable but when we got our photos I was blown away. SO MANY amazing photos from our 1 hour session. They are gorgeous. I can't wait to show them off. Lexi will definitely be my go to photographer from now on. Thank you Lexi!

Why can't I give her 6 stars?…read more My story of working with Alyson started back in 2019. I was pregnant... and REALLY excited about getting some maternity photos done like I did with my son when I was pregnant with him. I came across Alyson upon doing some searches when we moved to the area... she was the actual best. Photos were stunning, and then we had a conversation, and I just loved her. Her commitment to her clients and creating the best experience was sooo obvious. The only reason I didn't say yes then was a financial one... we ended up getting married and all our extra funds went to our small wedding. It was the ONLY regret I had from my pregnancy. I really just wanted to work with her. Fast forward 4 years...Turns out Alyson also does branding photography!! Holy smokes! I had an hour long session with her, just a mini for this go around while her and I co-create my larger full branding shoot. There are several things I really loved about Alyson's work. 1. Her warm approach has you immediately feel comfortable being yourself. No judgement. Just love and warmth. She is funny but not in a cheesy way... she just brings out that smile and happens to capture the beautiful moment RIGHT when it radiates the most. 2. She knows exactly how to have me be (positioned) where it looks natural. I have experienced a few other branding shoots that did not do this. Like I was positioned in a nice pose, but it wasn't me. 3. Alyson makes it sooo easy to imagine my whole family having photos taken by her. Its my dream and its happening next year! 4. You can really see that her heart is in her art. These photos are absolute art pieces that your family will treasure forever or that will have your business standout from the rest. I will repost once my business branding photoshoot is complete to show how we did it. I am so excited for that. Thank you Alyson for your gift of having me feel radiant and for bringing out the best of me!

She communicated clearly and promptly in preparation for the event, and was very attentive to my questions.

She captured the spirit of our family event, and the pictures are colorful and thoughtfully composed. I would absolutely recommend Monique for family or event photos in the Santa Barbara area.

Michele was recommended to me and my wife about a year ago right after our engagement. The…read morerecommendation came from very close friends that were also using her as their wedding photographer. After looking at her website we were very impressed and first met Michele at a local coffee shop to get a feel of each other. After just a few minutes of conversing with her, we knew that Michele was the right wedding photographer for us. She made us feel incredibly comfortable by presenting herself as a professional who has a strong passion for photography. However, what we found even most impressive was that she asked us numerous questions about what we wanted out of our wedding photos instead of merely telling us about her work. Then to top it off, we were incredibly impressed by what we saw on her website and found her rates to be more than reasonable for the product offered. We next met Michele a few month later to shoot our engagement photos on the Santa Monica Pier. The photo's were posted a website about a week later and a CD was mailed to our home. We were so happy with how they turned that we framed many and now have them hanging in our home. Finally, on the day of our wedding Michele and her assistant, Luke were incredible! We love our wedding photos and have even had our married friends tell us that they wish they would have used Michele as their wedding photographer. We will be looking back on our wedding decades from now and smiling. Thanks, Michele.

It's hard to know where to begin, because there are simply too many amazing things to say about…read moreTeresa and her work. When my husband and I began our search for a wedding photographer back in 2019, Teresa was one of the first we discovered, and I was immediately in love with her light & airy, classic aesthetic. Her photos and overall style are so dreamy, natural and effortless. After speaking to her on the phone, I pretty much knew immediately that she was our girl. She is so kind, easy to talk to, caring, and most importantly, honest. We were one of the many couples faced with the interruption of covid-19, and had to postpone our wedding a full year. Teresa was more than understanding and reassuring, which eased so much of the stress we faced at that time. A comment I received from multiple people on my wedding day was how calm I seemed. And I have to say, I credit 100% of that to Teresa. Leading up to the wedding, she made me feel so prepared and at ease. When wedding day arrived, she carried that sense of calm with her from start to finish. Shooting with Teresa feels like shooting with a good friend you've known forever. She is so sweet, funny, organized, and professional. Wedding day can be SO stressful, but Teresa never let me or anyone give into that at any time. She keeps you laughing, and brings an energy that every bride needs on her big day. The timeline she created for our day was completely seamless, and the day just felt so easy with her direction and care. The amount of people that also recognized this about her and made a point to tell me throughout my wedding day only further confirmed that she is truly amazing at what she does. She is the real deal. My wedding (and engagement) photos are something out of a dream. In fact, they are even better than what I dreamed of for so long. She captured the most special moments of our life so beautifully and organically, and we will cherish them forever. They are classic and timeless, and I never fail to get emotional any time I look at them. From the beginning, Teresa never felt like a vendor we hired, she felt like family. Words can never express how thankful I am for her and the experience she gave us, or how grateful we feel that she will be in our lives for years and years to come, capturing more of our life's precious moments. Our wedding day was truly perfect, and we owe SO much of it to Teresa and her hard work. We not only have these photos that we love, cherish, and will show our children someday, but we gained a dear friend in the process. I would recommend her to everyone under the sun. Thank you Teresa, from the bottom of our hearts.

Worst experience with this photographer. She was slow to communicate and had lots of excuses why it…read moretook several weeks to respond. When I asked what her prices was, she told me $250. Nothing about the actual pictures costing extra until AFTER the photo shoot was already done... "Oh, I'll send you a pricing sheet later." Never received it. Got proofs back after two weeks, chose the ones we want, THEN she tells us they're essentially $100 each photo, minimum of 3 photos in the cheapest package. WHAT?? So between the lack of communication, the money we lost to the sitting fee, the amount of time I spent driving to her location (2hrs each way), time and money spent on outfits and the cake, we could not justify spending another $300 for only 3 pictures. We decided it would be time and money better spent to just redo the shoot with another photographer and call it a loss. I'm beyond angry. I booked with her despite hearing stories from mutual friends about their bad experiences and her lack of professionalism. Don't trust other reviews here, most are her friends and family.
