    Our two pictures we chose. The actual quality is much better than this. These are pictures or pictures.

    My daughter and I are having a mother/daughter weekend in Monterey and stumbled upon this studio. Martin was our photographer and he was wonderful. He was friendly and patient and really made sure to add the perfect finishing touches to make our pictures just right. You can tell he is a very artistic person and enjoys the act of creating a story for your pictures. My daughter absolutely loved the experience, as did I. All the pictures turned out so well it was hard to chose!! He also took the time to show us different tints/colors and ways to make them look more authentic. Even though you technically aren't supposed to smile, we couldn't help ourselves, and picked one smiling and one not. What a wonderful experience. Thanks, Martin!!

    We take annual Christmas family photos and decided to do something different this year. Usually the kids complain and the photo session is not fun. This experience was different - no complaining and a lot of fun! Natasha quickly offered us outfits and we grabbed props and she directed us on how to pose. She took great photos and the camera lens seems quite good! We loved how the photos turned out and we plan to return with extended family to make more photos. The fee of $10 per person is very reasonable and we chose to purchase all the digital files (they are given in color, sepia and black and white). The fishnet stockings are available for $5. The only thing that was needed was shoes - all the other clothing was supplied. Next time we plan to bring the dogs with us so they can be in the photos. Thanks, Natasha for a fun experience and photos that we will treasure!

    You know where he is aiming ;)

    This place was like a hidden jewel that my LM and I could not pass. Simply a fun place to play dress up at any age. The prices I feel are reasonable. It was $40 for two 8 x 10 photos of my son fully dressed up. Any photo we chose afterwards were reasonable. I got an additional 5 x 7 for $7.50 and a 4 x 6 for $5. For you cheap peeps that consider this expensive, well...I am a single mom and all I can say is photos are timeless moments! You can't take your money w/ u when you die so live it up! :D

    Costume time!!

    Amazing fun time for our old West photo shoot!! Great dresses, perfect poses and help positioning us for amazing photos. Such a great time had by all. A must do for all occasions. We laughed and laughed as we saw the expressions and how our photos came out. They were perfect!!!! You have choices of wild west, Cowboys or roaring twenties! So much fun!! You have to stop in and get your photos done today!! Make super fun memories!

    we went yesterday and had a great time! the guy was super nice and it wasn't that expensive for something like this. ($10 per person and $15 per pic and the frames were $5, so it added up but it wasn't unreasonable.) we're definitely going to go back next time we're in monterey!

On the day of our shoot, my husband woke up very sick. He wanted to cancel but I begged him to hang in for a few hours until our session was complete. He agreed but he was irritable the whole time. Our son was cranky and teething and hadn't slept through the night for at least a week. Plus we had just partied for three days with out friends at our family beach house in Moss Landing so I was super tired! To top it off, the weather on the afternoon of our shoot was unforgiving. When Rachel arrived we sort of rushed her through our session because we all wanted to get back home to the Bay. I figured we wouldn't get a lot of good shots but if we got at least a few it wouldn't be wasted effort. She was gracious and patient and gave us just the right amount of direction that we needed since my husband and I feel super awkward in front of the camera. Despite giving her zero workable material, the photos came out gorgeous! (And we received them in a week!) I couldn't believe it. She made something out of nothing and now we have these beautiful and precious photos of our family to cherish forever. We will definitely be using Rachel again! We are so so full of gratitude!

They both have such an amazing eye for absolutely breathtaking photos.

They were so entertaining making our guests laugh, and had the perfect props for our guests to utilize. Another great benefit is Carol's timely correspondence. Anytime I had a question, she'd email me back, with thorough explanation. Their work speaks for itself, when I say that you will not regret booking them for your photography needs!!

    Flora is incredibly thoughtful, talented, and invested. When we first started looking for potential…read moreelopement photographers, we really had no idea where to start. I googled, and conveniently Flora was one of the first ones to come up for us. As soon as I saw her site and portfolio, I was blown away by what she's able to create for couples. If only I could be so lucky.. When we met with her the first time, she was very warm, approachable, and I could tell she picks up on personal details so quickly. We signed with her not long after- really just an awesome 45 minute experience and we already felt comfortable with her! Fast forward to itinerary planning and putting custom touches on our special day- Flora was responsive, available, and willing to work with us to make it the most memorable and unique experience. Flora knows all the best spots along Monterey/Big Sur for timeless, romantic photos. As a guide on our wedding day, it was like we had known her for years- she has a way of cutting through any anxiety and just making you feel so seen and understood. I don't usually enjoy or feel comfortable when someone is taking my picture or staging photos- with Flora, I had none of that, and actually really loved the experience. Our itinerary was exactly as planned, including a couple nice-to-have spots we weren't even thinking of. I would work with her again and again at the drop of a hat. Thank you so much for being a part of this with us. We couldn't have done it without you (and wouldn't want to!)

    We hired Flora Gibson Photography for our Big Sur elopement on 10/22/25, and choosing her was…read moreeasily one of the best decisions we made. We originally found her through a Reddit post in the elopement subreddit, and after seeing her stunning work, we immediately knew we wanted her as our photographer. We even shifted our date just to fit her availability that's how incredible her photography is! From the very beginning, communication was top-notch. We booked her in early December, and throughout the entire process she was professional, responsive, and helpful. Her elopement guide, complete with recommended vendors, made planning so much easier. On the day of our elopement, Flora made us feel completely at ease. She guided us through poses naturally and effortlessly, helping us look and feel like ourselves. Her knowledge of Big Sur is unmatched she grew up in the area and knows all the hidden gems, which made our photos even more magical. We were blown away by her quick turnaround as well. She sent preview photos within 2 days (when most photographers take 1-2 weeks!) and delivered the full gallery within 3 weeks, far faster than the usual 6-8 weeks. And the photos... absolutely jaw-dropping. We were stunned when we saw them. Everyone we've shared them with has been amazed, with multiple people saying they look like something out of a magazine. We truly cannot thank Flora enough for capturing our day so beautifully. We highly, highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented, professional, and genuinely wonderful photographer.
