Elisa is a photography genius with an incredible eye! We've used her twice now, and her pictures are absolutely stunning (even with old trolls like us). Beyond the gorgeous final products, her prices are reasonable, and she is extremely easy to work with. I appreciated the quick turnaround between proofs and touch-ups, and multiple means to pay. I can't recommend Ferrari Photography enough to those whose images need to show who they are in a professional, beautiful way. Thank you Elisa!!! read more

Ferrari Photography - Taken 2-24 in Claremont, CA - Session Photography Near Me

Elisa came on relatively last minute to take photos of our city hall wedding. She was amazing!! Totally listened to what we wanted (not your typical, overly posed wedding photos) while bringing her own creative eye. The photos turned out even better than we could have imagined. read more

Elisa was awesome to work with! I had to get some head shots/professional photos taken for my website and was nervous about the process, as I can be a bit awkward when placed in front of a camera for solo pics. Elisa picked a great spot with lots of options for backgrounds that aligned with my overall vision, and guided me through the process of posing to alleviate some of the stress I was feeling. The turnaround time was surprisingly fast! I'm really happy with the end results, & feeling much more confident about putting my image out there. read more

If you're looking for a family photographer who embraces your personality, I highly recommend Elisa! She's experienced in many techniques of photography and it shows in the quality of her work! She beautifully captured our little family in our lovely town. I especially loved seeing the joy of our daughter in the photos. A truly fun and organic experience with pictures we'll cherish for years to come! Thank you, Elisa! read more

Elisa is amazing. She picked the perfect location for our large family of 5 and was able to capture photos that truly represented us. She's really great at helping the kids and us adults relax and just be ourselves. Plus her eye for beauty is remarkable!! Hire her, you won't regret it. read more

Elisa is so much fun to work with - I needed an updated set of headshots for work and other consulting services and I love the result.We did our photos outside and in such a short time, we got some really great shots.I live in San Diego and I know that she makes appointments this far south (she is based currently in the Redlands area). I've been recommending her to friends (including friends on Facebook) and hopefully she'll get more referrals. She's really sweet and funny so you feel instantly relaxed...she is also really quick at turning things around so that you can see the pictures right away. read more

Ferrari Photography - This is a headshot that Elisa did for me - Session Photography Near Me

Tl;dr: Great pictures, quick turnaround, provides more than expected. Full version: First, some background: I'm probably a professional photographer's worst nightmare, being one of those serious amateurs that thinks they know what they are doing. I've been shooting film SLRs since college, got my first digital point and shoot back in 2000, and started using Canon's first digital Rebel 300D back in 2004. I've taken tens of thousands of photos, most of which I think suck, but I get lucky once in a while and take a good picture. I do know what I like when it comes to pictures. Elisa came recommended by Suzy Q after I had a heart attack upon seeing the latter's $11,000 photography package A. I looked at her portfolio online and liked what I saw - in addition to being well-composed, as you'd expect from a professional photographer, I liked how she used color - the pictures were bright and vivid without being oversaturated and garish. My fiancée and I met with her over brunch one day to discuss things, and I liked her background and her approach. One of the things i liked about her was that she was good about talking us through the process, for instance letting us know we had to give her a list of groups of people we wanted with us or with each other in group shots. I also liked that she tended not to use B&W because she and I agreed that's often overused to give a fake artsy look to otherwise mediocre pictures. After the brunch my fiancée and I decided we were comfortable with her and did not need to interview any other photographers. We ended up booking her photobooth package, which she told us came with an assistant for the photobooth. We also had her shoot our brunch for out-of-town guests in lieu of a getting ready shoot. When the wedding came, everything went well. She brought two assistants instead of just one, so we got more than we were expecting and got pictures with multiple viewpoints. She delivered our pictures two weeks after the wedding - both online with a SmugMug gallery (with $100 print credit) and by snail mail. We ended up with about 1000 photos, the vast majority of which were very well done, though I did give her some grief over about 30 pictures which annoyed me due to a pet peeve. She was not 100% perfect - I had asked for her to shoot our ceremony (outdoors at the Umlauf) with automatic exposure bracketing and provide them in RAW form so I could play with some HDR programs, but she said she didn't have enough time and I just got single exposures, albeit in RAW form. It was a five-minute ceremony and that and the post-ceremony shoot were a little rushed due to guests arriving unexpectedly late to the ceremony (actually unexpectedly, as only immediate family were supposed to be at the ceremony, most guests were just invited to the reception). Also she didn't rename the photos, which came from three cameras, so they were arranged in semi-random order, but she'd left the EXIF info in the pictures so it was triivial to rename them using the EXIF creation date so they ended up ordered by time (I used Tempest's Stamp program on Windows because I'm not quite familiar with my iMac yet, but there are apparently free Automator scripts which wil do the same thing if you're using OS X). All in all though, things went really well and we ended up with a lot of beautiful pictures, so I don't hesitate to recommend her services without reservation. read more

Elisa was excellent in every department! Very professional, very friendly, quick turn around and, most importantly, the photos turned out fantastic. I had a project where I needed her to shoot me speaking to a group of kids. Elisa put everyone at ease and then somehow blended into the background and snapped away in a way that no one seemed to even realize she was there. This helped me capture the candid moments that I was looking for. Couldn't be happier with the process or the final product. read more

Elisa is a true artist and extremely professional in all interactions. She was very accommodating of our timing and our preferences while bringing her own discerning eye. She made all of us feel at ease and helped us to get outside ourselves a bit--which we really needed. Elisa is extremely observant of all COVID requirements. I'm just astonished with what she created. read more

I asked Elisa to photograph a family gathering, so we could capture moments of our family together. She was very accommodating to our luncheon schedule, patient and understanding of sometimes rambunctious children, and very friendly with all. With a diverse family of various skin tones, I was so happy with the way the photos came out, and now we have such a great array of photos to choose from. read more

I met Elisa through Yelp after two weeks of talking with friends and colleagues in my industry. Contacted Elisa 3 days ago through her website on a Saturday believing I would not hear back until Monday at the earliest. Elisa contacted me within 2 hours by phone and I was already impressed. She has a great knack for reading people and their goals for photos. I needed professional head shots for journal announcements and publications for work yet needed it within a week. Elisa set me up on short notice for a Tuesday morning photo shoot at an ideal location that she recommended. I can not say enough about her professionalism, knowledge of lighting/camera use and making a client feel comfortable in front of the camera. I let her know on our phone interview that I am not photogenic at all yet she made me comfortable with our talks and with expertise of lighting to deliver excellent photos that I am proud to display in the journals internally and externally for our international corporation. Obviously I recommend Elisa for any corporate or personal photography. She is fun to work with and is an outstanding photographer and person to work with. She has a knack for reading into a person and seeing what they are looking for after talking and I let her pick all my pictures as her eye is better than mine. All that have seen the pictures agree. You will not go wrong by contacting Elisa and having her work with your needs. Thanks Elisa, I enjoyed our photo shoot and meeting you very much. read more

Elisa is an excellent, hard-working, dependable, reasonably-priced photographer. She covered a family gathering in February and we couldn't have been happier with the quality of her work. read more

Elisa did my headshots a few months ago and I was really impressed with the results. She was a lot of fun to work with and the session took much less time than I expected. She was able to quickly identify the best angles and lighting based on our location and did a great job in post production as well. I would certainly recommend her to my friends, family and colleagues. read more

I asked Elisa, owner of Ferrari Photography, to take my professional headshots on two different occasions. Each time, she found the perfect settings, in nature, and the results were outstanding. Elisa has a way of making your feel comfortable while she takes the most amazing and sophisticated photos. I highly recommend her for any type of photography you desire and expect outstanding results. Barbara B. read more

Use Elisa as my first call on photography for clients--especially portraits. She's super professional, works very well with me specifically on the creative brief for the job and nailing what I need without having to go on-site to art direct (saves the client $$). Highly HIGHLY recommend. read more

I hired Elisa to take pictures when i proposed to my girlfriend. It was a bit of a unique request due to the surprise element, but she was very flexible with the situation. She provided a good mix of professional opinions on what would look best, while still working within the setup i had arranged. I was quite nervous for the whole ordeal, but having a professional there really smoothed things over. The pictures came out fantastic, and with a surprisingly fast turnaround time. My fiance says that she loves how the emotions of the moment are captured in the photos. My family is very happy that they can be in the moment with us through these pictures. I couldn't be happier with the results. Definitely recommend her. read more

I have worked with Elisa on several occasions, and she has been absolutely wonderful. Not only is she extremely professional, but she also has a keen eye for color, texture, and novelty. In addition, she is by far the photographer of choice for artists and musicians, having photographed just about everyone I know, from orchestral musicians, to alt-classical groups, to rock musicians. I highly recommend her to anyone who is seeking beautiful and unique photos! read more

Elisa is exceptional. A total pro, and makes you feel comfortable and great. I needed new head shots, and I am so glad I went with her. We met in Claremont and she already had three very specific sites in mind. She was efficient and worked quickly. I will recommend her to all of my friends. Thank you so much! read more

Elisa took portraits when our little girl turned one. She was very professional, had great ideas, was very good with our baby, and produced beautiful photos in the end. I could not be more pleased. Worth every cent! read more

Elisa really made the experience easy and very satisfying. I hate having my photo taken, but I actually felt GREAT about the process (friendly, professional, efficient with time) and the results! Would definitely recommend! read more

It was great to meet Elisa. She did updated head shots for me. I am a Real Estate Broker and a Politician so I needed high quality images to use. Make Elisa your first choice especially if you feel intimidated working with a new person. She did a fantastic job. Everything will go fine. Just call her. I found her on Yelp - now I am telling you should also :-) read more

Excellent photos, wonderful to work with, made us very happy :) Elisa and her assistant photographed our wedding and, man, am I glad. We are not pretentious folks, so it was a little intimidating to consider hiring a photographer, arranging photo shoots and (gasp) *posing* for the camera. Elisa has a sweet, friendly, unassuming style that belies her strong professionalism. At many points in the process of our engagement and wedding photo shoots, we forgot we were being photographed. As a result, we have beautiful photos in which we look comfortable and (although it's hard to believe) attractive! Elisa understands what needs to happen to get a great shot, and she will make sure it happens with a minimum of melodrama. Regarding the quality of her photos: when I reviewed her portfolio, I was most impressed by the quality of light in her shots and the color composition. Ours was an outdoor wedding and the ceremony was held at 3 in the afternoon. Elisa was able to manage beautifully lit photos despite the midday sun. We also offered very few posed opportunities and she still was able to document the occasion with beautifully composed photos. I couldn't be happier with our choice of wedding photographer. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Elisa!! read more

Absolutely LOVED working with Elisa! She's professional, friendly, and quick with responding back to you. Her pictures come out amazing, and she makes you feel comfortable during the shoot. She offers great ideas about how to pose, and is extremely knowledgeable about locations that will work with your specific photo shoot needs. We received our photos quickly and enjoyed the various candid moments she captured that made our pictures beautiful! We plan to utilize her services again in the near future. I definitely recommend Ferrari photography. read more

We hired Elise for my daughters baptism this past month. I was being a bit daring since we never met and I had only seen her website as a reference. And boy did I get lucky. She took hundreds of gorgeous photos of our church, our family, and friends. Many if them candid ( which I love) and a good amount of posed with family members. I'm a huge fan of the colors she captured and her sincere want to capture photos of those importance to us. So many of the photos are heart warming and loving (in fact Im finding it difficult to decide which ones to print) On top of being a great photographer ... She's a lovely, intelligent, and easy person to get along with. I was a bit nervous having a complete stranger come into our home, but she immediately blended right in. Wonderful conversation with our guests and absolutely trustworthy. I would highly encourage and recommend her to anyone. In fact my father wants to hire her for his vow renewal:) read more

I found Elisa on Yelp because I was looking for someone to photograph my daughter and I. I sent her an email and received a response almost immediately. Elisa did an awesome job!!! She was very attentive to what I was wanting in the photographs and was great with my 5 year old daughter. We took the photographs in the morning and I received the link to look at the edited photographs the same day!!!! She did an amazing job in capturing sweet moments between my daughter and I. I will book photo sessions with Elisa from here on out- no question. read more

Elisa took head shots for me (I'm a musician), and they are great! She's very fun to work with, and has creative ideas. She's done photos for many people I know, and they are totally unique for everyone. I would, and will, recommend her to any of my friends and colleagues. read more

We had Elisa photograph our little family twice this year and both times she did a wonderful job. We have 3 small children (with the youngest two at 2 yrs & 7 mos), so we knew it would be difficult to have them stay still in perfect poses. Elisa managed to capture beautiful pictures of all of us. We would be doing more sessions with her in the years to come. Highly recommend her! read more

I needed some head shots, but had been putting it off trying to find a photographer that had great pictures of musicians. Elisa was the perfect find. In addition, I am quite the camera shy person, but Elisa still managed to get great photos of me and even get me to relax! read more

The photos are amazing! My husband & I have gotten so many compliments on them. Elisa helped to make our wedding memorable, stress-free, and ever-lasting. She provided a timely turn-around for both the engagement & wedding photos. It was wonderful and a pleasure working with Ferrari Photography! read more

She understood our company, our product, and the image we were trying to create and she did produce the highly creative images we were looking for. Check out the home page images at www.lilloveapparel.com (website will be live within in the next month). We would definitely recommend Elisa. read more
