If you are looking for an amazing wedding, engagement, love-shoot photographer...Lanie is your…read moregirl! Lanie has done four photo shoots with me and knocks my socks off every time! I have known Lanie since our freshman year of college, and she has a special talent that is truly one of a kind. She has a unique eye for so many various natural poses and details unlike anyone I know. So many photographers over-edit photos. Lanie's artistic flair always captivates and enhances your natural beauty...something that is very important to me as a client. Lanie first started out doing a love-shoot session for my husband (then boyfriend) and I on the beach of Santa Barbara in 2011. She had a way of making us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and captured our love in a playful and natural setting. The photos turned out amazing...it was then we decided we wanted her to photograph our wedding and engagement session in the near future. When we became engaged, there was no question that we wanted Lanie to do all of our photos. We had our engagement session at Knapps Castle in Santa Barbara, and flew her up to Washington State for our outdoor farm wedding. She captured every special moment, tear, and detail of our big day! I wouldn't have trusted anyone more. What can I say but look at the photos and see for yourself. She has a talent like no other. Bravo Lanie and keep up the good work!

I met Lanie when she shot a friend's bridal shower last year. I was so impressed with the way that…read moreshe captured the day, that I made a mental note to reach out to her in the future. I was blessed to have two bridal showers, and was looking for someone to capture both events. Lanie was the best thing that could've happened to us! All the guests were pleasantly surprised to see a photographer was there, and it really eased the annoying 50 cameras at the same time situation during photo opps :) She was so professional, easygoing, and constantly snapping photos to make sure a moment and all the details weren't missed. She provided the photos in a timely manner and even mailed over a cute package with the CD of photos. In addition to event photography, Lanie is a super talented engagement and wedding photographer. Her work is beautiful and I have a friend who saw her work with my showers and decided to have Lanie do her wedding - sure her photos will be amazing!

I don't have that much walls for every photo so I put them all on a digitally screen. I love looking at all the moments Emily captured. Definitely give her a call. Sometimes with kids moving around, I worry about unclear photos. Nope, that's not a problem at all. She got all the giggles and sweet laughters all in the right angle. I am so beyond grateful. I may need to hire her just from school graduation too. We did an outdoor session. She was very good about plotting out the session and we did all the items and probably a lot more. Emily offered many time slots and explain which was ideal. She made us feel comfortable in the whole session. I would schedule with her again.

She offered lots of suggestions for locations, outfits, and even my makeup and hair timeline. She is so knowledgeable about every aspect of wedding photography! We felt so comfortable with her during the session and absolutely loved how the photos turned out. Our friends and family have been raving about how beautiful they are! She will also be our wedding photographer next July so we are very excited to work with her again!

Doing pin-up style photos was something I always wanted to do after making a life changing decision…read moretwo years ago. By chance I came across photographer Micaella Martinez through a mutual friend of ours. The friend had shown me Micaella's work and I knew instantly she was the one. From our initial communication via email, Micaella had me excited to do my photos. The day of the shoot was our first face to face meeting and I have to say it was though we had been friends for years. She made me feel welcomed in her home and had prepared snacks and beverages throughout the day. Micaella was very easy to work with and had incredible patience with me. Her ideas were incredible with the end results being more than I could have ever possibly imagined. I would recommend Micaella to any woman who like to do sexy pin ups pictures for herself or someone special.

Before hiring In Pursuit of Pictures my small business was lacking a gap of pictures and story. Since then, I'm excited to share my transformation and story with the world.

I knew that I had wanted to do my session at an airport in front of a plane but had no idea how to make it happen. Shriti did ALL of the leg work and found a venue to do the photoshoot at. One of the reasons we had hired her is becuase of her past experience doing outdoor shoots. She delivered. She OVER delivered. I could not be happier with how my photos turned out and will definitely be using her again. Do not hesitate to hire her, you will not regret it!

I used Angela as my wedding photographer. After inquiring with multiple photographers I decided to…read morego with Angela. The initial meeting consisted of a detailed walk through of her packages and what to expect the day of. She was open to my many ideas and "visions" of what I wanted my wedding photos to look like. Fast forward to the day of the wedding and it was POURING rain. Not too bad right? Wrong... the wedding (and photos) was planned to take place on a golf course (Wedgewood Wedding - San Ramon). The photos still turned out fabulous. Angela and her assistant were ready to jump into action during the gap in rain. With umbrellas in tow, our photos turned out amazing. Thank you very much for the amazing photos, emotional support (when I freaked out about the rain), the professional approach to the unexpected, and the laughs along the way. I highly suggest Angela.

She captured every aspect of the day so well, from the floral and table details, to the individual guests, and of course, our couples portraits. We love the true to color approach of the portfolio, and the mix of vintage film-like photos as well. Our vendors loved working with her too - we would absolutely recommend Amanda for any special occasion!

She made time to listen to my heart for my event and it came through in my pictures. She was super attentive to me during the event as well.

My pictures turned out BEAUTIFUL!! I will treasure them always. I am super happy with how they turned out. She does a fantastic job capturing natural, raw moments that are real and personal. I really appreciate her integrity to her unique style.

Krystle is a great photographer - she did our maternity photos, newborn photos, and 6 month photos…read moreand they were AMAZING. Unfortunately, since then she's been so busy it has impossible to get a hold of her. We purchased a package of 5 sessions (maternity, newborn, 4 months, 8-9 months, and 1 year) and paid in advance. We struggled to schedule the 6 months session and then were not able to schedule the following sessions. My daughter is 19 months old and she still owes us two more sessions. I've given up at this point - no method of contact works - I've tried emailing, calling, texting and FB Messenger - she just doesn't respond. I'm very happy with the photos we got from the sessions we had with her, but very disappointed at how unprofessional she has been in following up on her contract. I would recommend not paying up front if you work with her, just to protect your investment in case she does not follow through. She has had a lot of challenges in her personal life, so that may the cause, but I still think it's unacceptable not to respond. If she is unable to meet, issuing a refund would have been a courteous gesture.

I met Krystle when she was still in High School. She knew from the beginning that photography was…read moreher love and that it would be here career. I hired her to shoot some photos for my new business website. Her photos were all amazing. She has an uncanny ability to capture the spirit of the moment. Her composition is remarkable. She knows how to choose the right backdrop to bring out the best features of her models and the ability to get them to feel comfortable in front of a camera. Her rates are very reasonable for the quality of her work. She loved children and they love her. That's her secret to being the best photographer of little ones. I highly recommend her for Family photos, Engagements, New Born/Maternity, Weddings and most of all, Children.
