Jessie held the whole thing with such steady presence that the uncertainty dissolved quickly. She asked the right questions, created real ease in the space, and then got out of the way and let the session breathe. The editing is exceptional. The final images are honest and alive, not overproduced. They look like me on my best day, which is exactly what this kind of work requires. If you are a founder, practitioner, or creative who needs photographs that actually carry your essence, Jessie is the real thing.

Sandy is truly one of the most skilled newborn/family photographers in the bay area! I was lucky to…read morefind Sandy 4 years ago with my first born and the newborn photos ended up being incredible! It was an easy decision to go back to her with our second baby. Here are some of the ways that Sandy truly stood out: - Both our babies were born around Christmas holiday and scheduling was not an issue at all for Sandy. She checked in ahead of the appointment to ensure we didn't need to reschedule (much needed for parents that just gave birth recently) and had our themes ready prior to us arriving. - The themes were 10/10, better than what we could've envisioned ourselves. And our themes were generic such as lemon or Christmas. - The amount of patience Sandy has is seriously amazing! Our second baby was a bit harder to photograph compared to the first, in addition to a toddler who wasn't in the mood for pictures, and it didn't phase Sandy at all. She took her time to make sure she was able to capture each theme well and had tips up her sleeve to get the toddler to take some pictures. I highly recommend going with Sandy if you're considering photo sessions! She goes above and beyond to ensure all the special moments are captured and the pictures are so incredibly worth it.

I'm truly delighted to share my experience working with Sandy!

I am really impressed by her talent with infants and children; she was fantastic with my newborn and my 2-year-old. Her ability to craft stunning scenes is also incredible. And when it comes to her photography and editing skills, they are truly outstanding--just look at the edited photos, they're absolutely stunning! You won't be disappointed with Clairbare Studios and Sandy's gift for capturing beautiful, lasting memories of your little ones.

I was honestly surprised and so happy to see that the owner is still there after all these years. He is one of the sweetest and kindest people ever. You can truly feel his whole life and passion captured inside the studio. There's something really special and comforting about this place that you just don't find often anymore. It brought back so many memories for me. Thank you for continuing to keep this place alive all these years later. I'll definitely be coming back again.

Not sure how much pricing was 10 years ago, but I remember getting 4 photos for a passport renewal and his services seemed pretty convenient. A whole decade later, and I find myself returning back to Henry. I'm glad to see he's still around! I would recommend calling first to see if he's open if you're concerned about his hours. I asked to take passport photos again and got four 2x2 photos for $25. He accepts cash only, so come prepared.

About a day before the photo shoot, the photographer called me and went through the process. When she came (Begim), she was very patient and very gentle with our baby. The photos that she took came out great, and we were so happy with the selection. I would definitely recommend this company for your newborn's photos!

She needed my baby to be asleep for the photos, and he just did not want to sleep so she was trying put him to sleep for over an hour instead of changing it up. If he was awake, I feel like we could of been able to take some cute ones, but it had to be a certain way. This was my first time booking a photo session and it was a bit stressful because I had to keep finding ways to put my baby to sleep. There was a lot of waiting in the first hour and a half just to have him put to sleep. I had never given him a pacifier before and for the photo, she had me give him a pacifier. The poses were a little awkward, but was assured that it would look super cute. We wouldn't be able to book another photographer and it's no longer that window for newborn photos so we stuck with the ones that we took.

She is always responsive and timely with the proofs and prints. I've had negative results with other photographers when it came to turn around time for prints so I appreciated this very much. Our last photo session with her was for my daughter's 2nd birthday. We had a photo shoot on what ended up being a very windy day in the park. My daughter was not very cooperative but Sabrina was very patient with her. I thought for sure we would have to redo the shoot because we may not have gotten any good shots. To my surprise there were several awesome photos. Sabrina was also willing to photoshop any imperfections that I requested.

But after seeing the pictures and the AMAZING albums she made for us I am so happy we have them! They go beyond being beautiful now, I believe they are kind of an heirloom we can pass on to our children. They so truthfully show they love we feel for eachother. They make me smile just thinking about them. They make me SOOOOO happy. Sabrina is so gifted. Both my Fiancee and I had a really hard to being on the other side of the lens, and Sabrina quickly got us to be ourselves and relax. She really captured our essence and love. I have shown them to a handful of people already and they have all been blown away by Sabrina's skill. I will SURELY be using Sabrina often to capture the milestones in our life. You'd think she would be ridiculously pricey (which I would pay cause she's that good) but she is super reasonable for the quality of work she does! She's the BEST!

I knew from the moment I saw her work that Christina was going to be the right choice, and she did not disappoint. Tons of positives: - she was easy to communicate and plan with, even when I wanted to switch one of my locations the week of the shoot - she made us both feel comfortable in front of the camera, which is no small task - she was flexible with my ideas, but also brought her own to the table - photos were back even sooner than I'd expected, and were of the quality I'd seen on her website But I think what I liked best was Christina herself. She was extremely pleasant to work with, and treated my casual event with the same professionalism and respect that she would a wedding. She had very positive presence and brought a really good energy and enthusiasm to the shoot. She was a lot of fun and brought out the best in my partner and me.
