I really felt like she wanted to work with me, which was a nice change from some of the other bay area photographers I've used before. I arrived at this really nice studio in the Mission district of San Francisco, the light there was lovely and her photos of me really showed how well she used it. I was really nervous about this mini shoot (this isn't something I do often) but she was very fun to be around, I appreciated how upbeat she was. Barbara is definitely someone I feel I could hire for my yearly family shoots, I really want someone with her energy around my kids so they don't feel too shy and can open up and have fun. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a great photographer.

She showed up early to our wedding location to scope out the area and get ideas. She helped coordinate our first look and made picture taking feel easy. She gave us tips on how to stand and where to look so that we never felt uncertain of what to do. I felt so comfortable with her snd had a fun time taking photos all afternoon. Above all, I was so touched by her thoughtfulness! I felt like she cared about our wedding day and our story just as much as we do. We received some "sneak peak" photos the day after via text and the final gallery about 1 month after the day. She was very communicative and answered any questions I had all throughout the process. Hoping to be able to take photos with Susie again, and will definitely be recommending her to anyone who asks!

If I could go out to space and collected all stars and bring them back to give for this review I would but yelp max limit 5 stars only! Hahah anyways the whole experience was overall pleasing and I am very happy so many turn out as favorites.. I had hard time picking and choose I just want them all !!! Melissa is knowledgeable and She made the whole experience so smooth especially directing my poses and even gave me advice on outfits to choose according to the themes that I wanted. she know exactly what I want and she captured that moments. I will be going to her all my professional portrait needs.

The only reason 2 stars were given was because there's no denying Emmy's talent as a photographer…read more However, her lack of communication and integrity made my experience with her extremely frustrating. Because of this, I would not recommend her unless you take my experience and adjust the contract she makes you sign. jealous of those who have had a great experience, but for first time clients, If you don't want to read the whole review, I at least urge you to push for the change in contract terms where you don't pay a final % of the package until you receive the final gallery. Without this, Emmy has no incentive to return them to you on time. If she doesn't agree to this reasonable change in payment terms, you should probably ask yourself why that is... I reached out to schedule my sessions with Emmy when I was only 8 weeks pregnant since I had come across her IG page and loved her work so early on. Signing the contract and paying the deposit was no problem. The problems came later on, which is why I advise changing the wording of the contract to protect yourself as well. Issue #1: I was booked for a late January session, because of personal reasons I had to reschedule. Per our contract, I knew it was going to be a $50 rescheduling fee. However, I did not expect for Emmy to break the terms of the contract we had both signed "because of the amount of people that had been doing so". These are her words, not mine, screenshot of the email exchange. Why is it my responsibility to pay extra for what her other clients are doing to her? I left this conversation feeling frustrated since she had no issue breaking the terms of the contract on her end over $25, so I made the decision to cancel the newborn session and requested to move the $150 deposit I had paid over to the remaining amount left of the maternity session. At this point, Emmy called me and made it a huge point that we had signed a contract where it states that the deposit was non-refundable. I asked her then why it couldn't be amended if she had no problem breaking the contract on her end to charge me an additional $25 to reschedule. She decided that the $50 would be respected, but that I still would not receive my $150 deposit back. Issue #2: I booked the session with the makeup artist she frequently uses and I was comfortable with her work since I could see it on IG and it matched my style. The week of my maternity shoot she makes a post searching for a new MUA. I don't know if it's just me, but I personally did not want to be the one who gets experimented on with a new MUA since I had not seen her work. I reached out to Emmy to let her know that I was fine with removing the makeup portion of the package. Again, she made it a big deal about not being able to change the terms of the contract (which makes absolutely no sense if she is the one who wrote the contract...) and instead wanted me to downgrade my package. My package was $900, the package she wanted me to downgrade to was $700. This $200 difference meant the loss of the makeup, 2 dress options and 2 backdrops. Which makes no sense when at the time of booking, the makeup add-on had been a $150 add-on fee. She again, she was only interested in changing the contract terms when it meant that she would make more money. Email exchange on this is also attached. Issue #3: We went ahead and took the photos as scheduled. Per the contract, she was supposed to send me the final gallery no later than 6 weeks after the shoot date. Well, 6 weeks went by and there was no word from her at all. I finally reached out and heard no communication back from her except for the finished gallery a few days later. She charged an additional $200 for the changes I made to the contract, but there is no repercussion for her not upholding her end of the contract? How is it not taking advantage of your clients when you sign a contract and expected them to uphold the terms out of respect for your time, but you have zero lack of respect for our time and money and will gladly break the terms on your end when it is convenient to you?

First, I want to say that Melissa is very kind and makes the experience comfortable, even if you're…read morenervous or shy in front of the camera. She's warm, welcoming, and easy to work with. I received around 80 edited proofs to choose from, and there were plenty of great options for my final selections. She also offers a wardrobe with beautiful dresses, as well as some clothing options for men. The location suggestions she provided were excellent, and she did a great job capturing the style and vibe I had in mind. That said, I do feel the need to mention some concerns about professionalism and turnaround time. Her contract states that proofs will be delivered within 2-4 weeks. While 4 weeks already feels a bit long, I was patient and checked in about once a week for updates. When the 4-week mark passed without receiving anything, I was disappointed. I ended up receiving the proofs after 4 weeks and 3 days. I reviewed and returned my selections the same day, but her contract didn't specify a timeline for final edits, so I wasn't sure what to expect. The final images were delivered 15 days later. When I received them, it seemed like the only changes made were removing the watermarks. Some photos still had bags and other items in the background, even though she had mentioned those would be edited out. Communication was also inconsistent. There were times when my messages were read but not answered, and at one point--about two weeks after the shoot--she indicated she hadn't started editing yet. It left me feeling like my time and excitement weren't fully considered. By the time I received my maternity photos, my baby was already three weeks old, and I had already shared photos of her arrival, despite scheduling the shoot at 34 weeks as recommended. Would I recommend Melissa? Yes, but with some expectations in mind. Her pricing is fair, and you do receive a large number of photos. However, turnaround time may be slower than expected, and communication can feel a bit casual at times. (She did provide 5 additional images to make up for the delay in delivering the proofs.) I had originally intended to do a new born shoot with her as well but I was waiting for my maternity photos to make sure I really liked them and unfortunately by the time I received them my baby was outside the 7-14 day old window she wants for newborns. Between that and the turn around time I decided against it.
