I had a really good experience working with Danielle. It was my first time getting family photos…read moredone with my family of 4 including 2 little kids. We did a 30 minute session and Danielle was so easy to work with. She was responsive, helped suggest a beautiful location, and provided a Pinterest board for outfit ideas. On the day of the shoot, she was patient, personable, and great at capturing precious moments of my kids. I love how the photos turned out and would definitely work with her again for future family photos!

Danielle, you're amazing! Thank you!

Working with David and Annie for our proposal photos was a breeze. Even though I initially didn't…read morehave a super solid idea of where and when I wanted to do the proposal, David was very helpful in suggesting different locations for different times of the day while providing examples. His communication was clear and responsive, and he was very patient with me no matter how many emails it took! Staging the surprise was actually a lot simpler than I expected--they ask you for some basic information as to how you're planning to do it. On the day of, I was nervous if things were going to fall into place, but Annie, our photographer, shared her location with me and arrived early in just the spot I wanted. She was also wonderful to work with--her photography and editing skills are great and even though we never really posed for photos before, she made it easy for us. She even had the presence of mind to turn us away from family members who were coming from behind to surprise us. We received a few photos the night of the proposal to share with friends and then the rest of the photos after a quick turnaround. We were very happy with how they turned out and appreciative of Annie's great work!

We especially appreciated how much he cared about capturing the authenticity of the moment, it truly shows in the photos. He even went as far as capturing our embrace in the parking lot afterward, which made the experience feel that much more genuine and special. David works magic and I could go on and on about how grateful we are! I would recommend A Tale Ahead Photography to anyone looking to have a beautiful memory captured that they can cherish forever.

My Husband and I commissioned Yana (the owner of Soleil) to shoot pictures for our engagement party…read morein San Francisco. We really connected with Yana when we first met her which was really important when selecting a photographer. It's one thing to take great photos, but it's another to feel comfortable around the person behind the camera. All of our guests connected with Yana throughout the party and we were able to get some memorable candid shots of guests enjoying themselves. Yana was also able to cover several "detail shots" of the many DIY projects that we had worked on to make the our engagement party "extra special." We also added a special "photo booth" type section to the venue which Yana was able to shoot with such ease and professionalism. I also hired Yana to shoot my Husband's birthday party which was on a moving Trolley. Yana was able to take some great shots even while the Trolley was in motion--now that takes some talent. The shots were great and she was able to capture a bunch of special moments throughout the celebration. I definitely recommend Yana for any event, big or small!

I purchased a Groupon and met with Yana to do an outdoor photo shoot. She was very flexible with my…read morecrazy schedule and she was also very friendly and patient with my daughters. She did everything possible to get my baby to smile and look at her. She made us feel comfortable and was open to suggestions as far as poses/using different backgrounds etc. A couple of days later I received the link with the images and there were many good ones to choose from. I'm currently waiting for the prints & digital image so I can share them with our family. We've never had a family picture taken and this is something I've always wanted to do so I'm so glad that I found her Groupon and look forward to doing business with her again.

Hands down, Anita is the absolute BEST portrait and lifestyle photographer! One of many things that…read moresets her apart is her clear direction on how to sit or stand, what to do with your hands, which way to turn your face ever so slightly... These subtle cues translate into a more relaxed and fun energy, which make a world of difference in the final outcome. She puts you at ease so you feel more natural and you actually enjoy the process! She also knows how to achieve the best shots when working with tricky lighting or backgrounds. Whether you are being photographed alone, with family, or with a team of colleagues, you will be thrilled with the results. Anita will make sure of that. She is truly outstanding.

I cannot rave enough about Anita and her professionalism and gentle touch with my newborn. She was…read moreon time and sent a wonderful email beforehand letting us know what to expect. She has wonderful communication. If I sent her an email it was answered promptly. Fast forward to the day. My sweet gorgeous fussy newborn came out peaceful and sweet in all the photos she took. She was gentle and patient with him, and us being new moms and all. When my partner needed to feed she just readied the room for the next shot. I didn't feel rushed or pressured, she listened to all our ideas and came with some amazing ideas of her own. I think we found our life long photographer because she was one of the best we've had. I'll be recommending her to all my friends and family!! Go ahead and see for yourself, she's amazing to say the least.

We'll definitely be booking more sessions with Sugarbaby in the future. Thanks again!

Mark and Tracy are the best of the best. I have hired them twice to take pictures of productions…read moreI've directed and both batches of photos were absolutely incredible (some examples below). Per production I got about 500+ photos and not a single one was a dud. My theater was able to build an entire marketing campaign around their photography and sold out both shows because of how high quality the photos were. Not to mention working with them was a dream. They were responsive, professional, and on time. They also were able to get really up close photos without distracting performers, which can be quite challenging. I've also used Tracy separately for my headshots. What I appreciate most about her is her innate ability to put you at ease for your photos, without making you feel awkward along the way. For many, myself included, there's something inherently uncomfortable about having your photo taken and Tracy knows exactly how to take the pressure off with her professional and warm approach. On top of that, the final product is always awesome. I purchased the package that includes 8 fully edited photos and narrowing it down was near impossible because every single photo of the 100+ she took was amazing. I could not recommend Mark and Tracy more for whatever photo needs you may have.

We first met Augie though extended family referral in 2023. We've been regular clients since then,…read moreand have absolutely loved every session. Augie is a kind, calming, and professional presence for kids and adults alike, putting everyone at ease. It may seem like photography sessions that feel candid would result in mediocre results, but somehow he always gets amazing shots. Anyone with toddlers and infants know how difficult it is to get more than one kid staring at the camera, much less capture natural smiles. I've been impressed every time, and look forward to future family portraits!

Augie took our engagement and wedding photos, and we absolutely loved working with him! I would…read morehighly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer. He's very professional, friendly, quick to respond, and just amazing to work with overall. I had just started wedding planning when I ran into a friend who told me Augie was their photographer and shared his info. We had looked through a number of photographers, but Augie's work stood out to us through all of it--his photos truly captured the feeling of each moment, and we loved everything in his portfolio. When we reached out, he responded so quickly and answered all our questions right away. For our engagement shoot, it was my husband's first time doing a formal photoshoot. Augie came very prepared, offered great tips, and made us feel completely at ease. He was so easy to talk to and work with, and we genuinely had such a fun time with him! He was also flexible with timing and weather to make sure we could get the best lighting. We were blown away by his ability to notice something special in just a few seconds and turn it into a beautifully captured moment. For our wedding day, Augie was even more impressive. I had shared our (very full) itinerary with him ahead of time, and I was surprised to notice that he knew it by heart. When we started running behind, he gently but efficiently helped move things along. Even though it was his first time at our venue, he had an incredible eye for finding perfect spots, turning a simple fence into a magical backdrop. He worked seamlessly around the golfers at our venue, guiding us at the right times and capturing the sweetest in-between moments. He also accommodated all our specific requests, including photos with our sports car and dress details. We absolutely love our wedding photos and all the special moments he preserved. We were also so impressed with how fast he sent us our sneak peek photos--it was such a fun surprise to get highlights so quickly. Overall, I can't stress enough how grateful we are for Augie and everything he captured during our engagement shoot and wedding day. We're so happy with all the memories he helped capture that we will cherish forever, and I truly can't recommend him enough.

Tiffany is not only a FANTASTIC newborn and family photographer, but she is also an INCREDIBLE…read morewedding and engagement photographer... My obsession with Tiffany started when she captured our engagement photos in Moss Beach.  I had a specific picture I had envisioned and obsessed about, and like a bad client I didn't tell Tiffany.  When I got back my pictures, there it was!  I knew from that day on I would never use another photographer. When it came to us picking a photographer for our destination wedding in Palm Springs, I felt a gravitational pull towards Tiffany, and she didn't disappoint.  She made the booking portion very simple and easy.  I sent her a list of shots we wanted and she pretty much captured everything I could even think of, and more.  She leaned into our moody "old Hollywood" look.  She worked our 200+ wedding like she'd been doing it for decades.  She works with light like a master artist.  What comes out at the end will absolutely blow your mind.  And on top of it all, she's a lot of fun to work with and makes you feel so comfortable.  I honestly wanted her to stay the entire wedding as a guest because I felt so close to her after our journey together. .... And thank God she has a sense of humor because when I wanted to do a funny gender reveal, newborn shoot for our new puppy, Frankie, she was all in!! She was even able to swaddle our 9 week only puppy! My husband actually said, when we were looking to book a photographer for our wedding, that he only wanted to work with Tiffany.  That's when I knew she would be apart of our lives forever.  I'm pretty sure 99.9% of the pictures framed in our house are all taken by Tiffany.  Tiffany captures the stuff that dreams are made of.  Thank you Tiffany for being apart of our big moments and giving us the greatest gifts, our memories live and in living color (or moody and in black and white when the occasion arises).
