We had a phenomenal experience with Michelle today. We booked the newborn session which also…read moreincluded family photos and sibling photos. She is professional, extremely pleasant and friendly. She is SO patient. My newborn was wide awake before the shoot started and she took her time...(2 hours or more) helping me get the baby to sleep (mixture of me nursing and Michelle swaying/singing to baby). Eventually baby fell into deep sleep and we got excellent, I mean excellent pictures. For the moms out there, Michelle has everything you need. She even thought of things that I never ever ever thought she would have (for example: a boppy pillow for nursing, space heater to keep newborn warm, white noise on blast to help soothe infant !). She is so very thoughtful. Michelle is a down to earth professional and I wish we could have had this experience with our first baby. Or even for our wedding or maternity photos. We found her late, but better late than never! She did just move to the area from washington earlier this year. The price is affordable for all the detail and time she takes with her clients. I would do this again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Michelle!!

Russell is an amazing professional. I needed business photos and chose Russell for the natural,…read moreauthentic and relaxed feeling conveyed in his work. He did not disappoint and put so much effort into finding just the right natural light and directing every pose. He took a bunch of photos and it was really hard to pick just a few for the final touch ups. My hair can get a little frizzy and Russell did an amazing job taming in the final photos. I would hire Russell again, and recommend him to anyone needing business or casual photos.

During the initial consultation, Paulina presented her service sheet for her work and thoroughly…read moreexplained both the prices and her process. She explained what my photo session would 'feel' like from her side as the photographer and also asked for my input as to what I wanted to get out of the photoshoot. Her whole approach felt like a collaboration of two artist friends with ideas and desires working toward a single vision of beauty. The way she designs a photoshoot is a way for you to tell your story but it also allows for you to see where that story might go. The photos that Paulina captured from my photoshoot more than blew me away. I had a photoshoot with my daughter and it was so astonishing to see, now as an 'outsider,' how my daughter looked at me. I was in tears of happiness with what I saw. The quality of her portraits are so rich and so warm with a subtle stylish polish of class that the images you take home with you will be admired by all who see them. I highly recommend Paulina to capture those moments you want to cherish forever. The moments that truly mean something and demonstrate love. Love for another person, a pet, or a profession you've honed for years. She will capture your story with the same love and attention.

DO NOT HIRE!! We hired Guillermo and paid his deposit 7 months in advance of our wedding. One…read moreweek before he sends an email that he has given our job to another photographer, gives a first name and no contact info!! I immediately replied asking for contact info. Nothing. Texts, phone calls. Nothing. The next day I started emailing every photographer in Albuquerque and Santa Fe by that first name. It was almost 3 panicked days before I was able to speak to this person and look at their portfolio. Not that it mattered, there was no way to find another photographer, that we would choose, with less than a week's notice. To seal his lack of integrity with some bad karma - he told us his ill mother had taken a turn for the worse and he needed to go immediately to Colombia and was giving all his jobs to other photographers for the rest of his year! He never left town! It was a LIE!! Also, we had no choice but, to pay him the full balance in advance of our wedding, or risk not having any photos. And, he asked for $200 more than the signed contract! Also, his deal is to give you a free engagement shoot. We never got ours, as every time I would ask for some available dates, letting him know we are very flexible so, we could make it convenient for him, I would not hear back from him. Lastly, he got the drive from the photographer and did the edits. His idea of editing is to turn some photos black & white (which we can all do with our phones). There were over 60 good (unique, meaning not too similar that he would have maybe thought they were unnecessary) photos that he did not deliver to us!! Would post negative stars if possible!!

We hired Guillermo to do an engagement photo session in Los Angeles, and we could not be more…read morepleased with the results. The whole day of the shoot was fun and laid back. We went to several different locations, and Guillermo directed us in a professional but relaxed way. He was great at finding the best places for posed photos, but also making sure to capture all of the candid moments in between. We had a great time during the shoot, it was all very easy and smooth. The completed photos were sent to us very quickly after the shoot, in a matter of days, and we loved all of them. We ended up getting the perfect photos for our Save The Date and our wedding website. We will definitely book Guillermo again! If you want an uptight, "no fun" photographer, look elsewhere. If you want someone to make the whole process feel easy and natural, book Guillermo!
