A year later, she took our family's pictures for our son's one year birthday (cake smash) as well as for the holiday cards. She has a studio at her home with plenty of snacks while you do your sessions. It's also heated for those chillier winter months. The props she has are amazing and add a lovely style to her photos. She has a natural talent for finding perfect poses and the experience to get great angles. She also does locations other than her studio for photo shoots. For our maternity pictures we were at the beach and for our family pics we went to a hiking trail. She's able to taylor yo meet your needs. Her turnover to get pictures back to you is always quicker than she stated which is so lovely (especially when you want to get out holiday cards!) I highly recommend Jessica for her stellar services! You won't be disappointed! Loop

We were quite nervous, as our son isn't exactly always cooperative, but Jessica wasn't frazzled in the least, and just totally put our minds at ease. Even though it seemed like our son cried for most of the shoot (toddlers!), Jessica promised she got tons of great shots of him smiling, and she DID! We were so pleasantly surprised when we saw the photos, ha! Jessica was fantastic to work with from the very beginning, offering lots of help with wardrobe choices, location choices, etc. We couldn't be happier with the outcome of our photoshoot and can't wait to hire Jessica again for more photos :) Thank you, Jessica!!!!

Her use of light is unparalleled as is her use of nature as the background. Her photographs are majestic, expansive, soft, golden, magical and real. She captures great candids. We have 2 kids and that is always hard but she had several tricks up her sleeve to get the kids to look and she got some amazing shots of the whole family. I just want to frame all the photos she took and cover my house wall to wall =) She's also patient, easy-going and just a overall pleasure to work with. I never share photos of my family on yelp. But I'll break my own rule so you can see how amazing she is.

She was very professional and responsive by text and email. The newborn shoot took place at her home studio. She had lots of options for wraps, props, colors, etc. Christy was so patient with our little one, especially when he woke up and got fussy and needed a feeding mid-shoot. She was very careful and gentle with him when positioning him for the photos and worked with his natural tendencies, even when it wasn't the normal way she was used to positioning babies with her light source, etc. She took as much time as needed to get pictures that we would be happy with. She accommodated our color and style preferences well. We received a link to the photo gallery in about a week and a half and the digital files less than a week after selecting a package and submitting payment. The pictures came out amazing and will be such precious memories of our little guy. Pricing seemed standard for this type of work. She also waived the session fee for a maternity photo shoot when booking both a maternity and newborn shoot. I highly recommend Christy for newborn photos!

Shiloh is quick on her feet, she's an innovator, and her camera is her paintbrush. These beautiful memories she captured give me the goosebumps. You get what you pay for with Shiloh, however, in comparison to other photographers, she makes the investment affordable (especially when it comes to printing!) We will never be working with anyone else ever again, and I'm so happy to have found Shiloh!

She was great at finding the best natural light and always told us exactly where to stand to give us that cool backlighting. Shiloh was so friendly and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. We even brought our dog with us to be in some photos, and Shiloh was so patient with him, because he was being stubborn and not looking at the camera at first. We regret not bringing a ball or treat for her to hold, but she still managed to snap some cute photos of our dog! Thank you Shiloh for everything!

There aren't enough words of praise in the English language for Shaun of Top Shelf Photo! We were…read morelucky enough to find him on Yelp for our engagement photos, and in mid-November of 2024 he braved the chill of Palomar Mountain to take spectacular photos of us. Nonstop compliments from friends and family, and received much quicker than anticipated. Once we got into wedding planning, Shaun was the obvious choice for our photography needs. Along with his second shooter Jess (Jessica Christie Photography), he again knocked it out of the park. Couldn't have asked for more perfect photos. On a more personal note, Shaun is the above-and-beyond type of person to take the absolute best shots possible. Like, fixing the boutonniere on my suit himself for the exact right angle, or gently shoo'ing away stinkbugs while helping my wife to re-tie her wedding shoes type of person. His passion and dedication for his craft are inspiring, and I guarantee if you don't love being in photos as a general rule (like myself) he will absolutely put you at ease and make it look like you've been modeling all your life. Thank you for everything Shaun, from the bottom of our hearts.

The "journey" Carrie Anne set me on leading up to the actual boudoir session was arguably a bigger part of the photo shoot for me. ;) Carrie had a time line of to-do's for me, websites for garments I might want to buy, soooo much I wasn't expecting. And on the way, I found a new comfort with myself. By the time I got to Carrie Anne's for the photography... I was ready for this! I brought extra outfits and accessories and Carrie Anne helped me dial it in for an unforgettable experience. It's been about 3 years since my session and I still recall it like yesterday. I am close to 60 and have never felt so good about myself - not in a vain way. I was absolutely comfortable with me. Carrie Anne has a beautiful way about her. She'll set you at ease, and make this moment an unforgettable and personal experience. DO IT - you'll be happy you did. (Thank you, Carrie Anne!)

From the moment you book, she listens to what you want and guides you every step of the way. And during the shoot? Her posing direction is everything. You never feel awkward. She is insanely talented. Even the unedited photos are unreal. Honestly, the hardest part is narrowing down your favorites because you will want them all. If you are even thinking about booking, just do it. Trust.

We were so blessed to be able to hire Jenny. At first, we were recommended other professionals but my heart was set on having her work with us. Although it was true that we had never spoken to each other nor met before, it felt like I was talking to someone I had known forever and she felt the same way. Jenny's positive and bubbly personality was what we needed on our wedding day as we were all running around in chaos. She took command and knew what to do right away for all the shots she wanted and ones that we would like. I am so thankful we had her and her assistant Fah capture our lifetime photos. She edited so many photos so quickly so that we could share them immediately with family and friends. Our family and friends was extremely impressed with her and Fah's professionalism, skills and quality of photos. The groomsmen especially bonded with Fah! I hope to ask Jenny to capture future events again soon!
