    Emily is talented and kind, she puts you at ease and captures the special moments in your life with images you keep forever. I have had the pleasure of Emily taking family pics on many occasions and every time I am amazed at the end product she puts out! Highly recommend you higher her for Maternity, family pics and more!

    I've heard a great deal about Emily Shores and booked her for newborn photography and was excited for her services. My daughter had two open-heart surgeries in the first year of her life so we had to delay pictures. Initially- she was empathetic through the emails I had sent or the emails could have been sent by her assistant Ally who seemed super sweet. I paid the full newborn deposit and payment a year in advance because we were able to finally take pictures. The moment we stepped inside of her place- we felt SO unwelcomed and felt such bad vibes. She was in a cropped looking top with half of her breasts showing- unprofessional first of all. She didn't say hello or greet us at all. She asked, "SO WHATS THE PLAN?" I replied that we have an appointment for pictures today. She then continued to tell us how we were "late" for our studio session. Mind you- we were 7 MINUTES late. My husband and I had to go down stairs in the downtown parking garage making multiple times carrying the baby, her smash cake, props, a balloon garland that we had made for pictures and a bag of outfits for her. She didn't seem to care at all and all she mentioned was that we were late and she would "cut time out of our 30 min session" We kept our mouths shut because all we wanted was finally some real professional pictures of our daughter after waiting SO long. I mentioned her being a heart baby and how getting sick could cause her many medical problems and she just said "okay." She told us to sit her down on the floor by her front door for pictures. There was NO rug, no padding, nada. The floor was dirty and there were visible particles. We didn't bring a cute decorative rug with us so we did what she said... we sat her down on Emily's dirty floor. We adjusted the balloon garland behind her and proceeded to place the cake beside her. Her headband/bow kept coming off to the side and Emily was getting annoyed that I would readjust it. I told her that I didn't want pictures of her headband hanging off the side of her head. She still kept saying "it's fine." To me- it wasn't. She didn't interact with my baby at all. My two sons who my husband and I brought in were jumping up and down behind her trying to make their sister smile and laugh for pictures. After the cake smash pics (my daughter hardly even touched the cake) I wanted to change her outfit into a pretty dress and Emily seemed to be so bothered and annoyed by that. She made it VERY obvious that her time was very valuable only to her and our time didn't matter. We took the pictures and our session was ended. We took time of our entire session with her.. it took 16 minutes! Sixteen minutes of rushing/changing/sweating and anxiety all because the photographer seemed to be inconvenienced by paying costumers. I will NEVER go back to her and do NOT recommend her to anyone. P.s. she posted pictures of all the other newborns and sessions she was doing for the month and next two months and our daughter was NOT posted on her social media. Apparently she wasn't good enough for that witch.

    Absolutely amazing! Emily provides exquisite service, excellent quality photographs time after time. Love the consistency and professionalism. I did not have the privilege of hiring Emily for newborn sessions. However, she has captured many milestones on camera. Emily is knowledgeable and well seasoned in photography. She is direct and patient. Even when my toddler woke up cranky from a nap, Emily was able to make the session a breeze. I told her what I was looking for and she did her absolute best to accommodate me. I've done both studio sessions and sessions at different locations. When my daughter wanted her graduation photos she was unsure of where to go. Emily pointed us in the right direction and took gorgeous photos of my daughter and her friend. I always get more than enough images and she provides a release so that I am able to make physical prints. I honestly don't see myself going to another photographer.

    Emily is the baby whisperer ! I came in with my daughter when she was 3 weeks old due to her jaundice I went a little later than usual and Emily handled my daughter perfectly and was sweet and took great pictures. Would reccomend her

    Emily is the best photographer I have ever worked with. She has photographed my maternity, my son's birth, newborn, and 3 month milestone. I am also having her photograph my sons 6/9/12 month milestones. She's is extremely friendly and takes pride in her work. We will continue to use Emily for all of our photography needs. Her photos are sharp and clear. They print beautifully. Having Emily in the delivery room was a great experience. She captured so many priceless photos that would have been forgotten if she was not present. I highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a professional and quality photographer. Emily has a beautiful studio full of gorgeous props. We love Emily!

    I love Photos Just So! I've come to them three times now for photography, and each time I love them…read moremore than the last. They provide excellent service and gorgeous photos for incredibly reasonable prices. My husband and I first asked them to do a nice couples portrait for us on the UC Berkeley campus. We had never done any sort of portraits before (y'know, beyond those stiff, cheesy school photos back in the day), so we were a little nervous to start. Justin and his wife/assistant Dana immediately put us at ease with their friendly, professional manner. After a few shots my husband and I relaxed, and we got some wonderful photos to share as Xmas gifts (and yes, we even did some cheesy poses for fun). We came back to them a few years later for newborn photos for our first child. We arranged for them to visit us in the hospital, and I treasure those pictures above all others taken in that period. I had a difficult and unpleasant experience in the hospital (but that's for another Yelp review), but when I look at Justin's beautiful photos all I remember were the good moments, and how much Justin and Dana's calm, friendly visit cheered me up. They came to our home a few weeks later for part two of our newborn portrait package. Again, their bright manner made the afternoon special and fun. They did some lovely "candid" shots of us feeding our baby, then some more posed shots of the baby with some fun props they'd brought. As parents themselves, they know how to calmly and easily deal with a little newborn, and our little guy was as relaxed as a month-old could be. The pictures turned out AMAZING. Well, that baby is a year-and-a-half, and it's time for some family portraits. I know exactly who we're turning to!

    I absolutely loved this photographer from start to finish. The meeting about hiring him was great…read more The engagement session was even more great with getting to know him. Finally, I absolutely loved the wedding day and the proceeding wedding gallery. I would recommend this business for any wedding. I will also be using him for future photography events as well, if needed.

    I did not personally hire Marty, he was hired to photograph the dancers at the studio my daughter…read morewas enrolled in. At the time I was supposed to receive the photographs hers were nowhere to be found, ok, maybe it was an oversight. I contacted him and he took a while to get back to me, again, fair enough. When he did get back to me I was met with a very defensive attitude, no reassurance whatsoever. Again, I wanted my photos so I helped as much as I could, gave him a lot of information but I had to chase him for a response. His response left a lot to be desired, he was super rude, and I of course expressed how disappointed I was and started to give the same energy. I asked if he had a studio where he could photograph my daughter since the photos were paid for but ultimately settled for a group photo. He repeated over and over again how he did not receive the order form and how my daughter didn't turn it in, she's FOUR and he knows she had to be around that age. I turned it in to whoever the woman was receiving them. It is NOT my fault that Marty misplaced my order form and did not photograph my daughter when that same woman told him I wanted her photographed. If he did not have time to photograph her, was out of memory, or whatever the case was, he could have told me. It's not about the money, it's the principal. I will NEVER hire Marty myself, I do not like his attitude, service, or even his work, I only bought it to have the memory of my daughter's dance season. If I could give zero stars I would.

    Amazing photography! I found out about Marty when I was a guest at a friend's wedding- when I saw…read morethe shots of the wedding I was floored! He did some awesome work with the bride and her veil- GORGEOUS! I had him do my "family" Christmas pictures last year (my family consists of myself, 2 cats and a dog- I am 25) and everyone who received them were so impressed, he did such a great job! I cannot wait to work with him again!!
