She also did my maid of honor's hair, and we were obsessed with it all night, and her curls stayed perfectly in place throughout the entire day! My makeup lasted as well! Kori's style is truly "you, but better." My makeup looked flawless, natural, and almost airbrushed. She listened carefully to exactly what each of us wanted and brought our vision to life. She was incredibly professional, arrived right on time, and came fully prepared with her kit. I can't recommend her enough for any special event. She made all of us feel confident, beautiful, and completely taken care of from start to finish.

After our preview- I felt so comfortable to let Kori know what tweaks I wanted. I ended up choosing a different hairstyle from what we trialed and it was better than imagined. So convenient to have her just work on me and then help with touch ups especially after the first look and for family portraits which we did before she had to leave at 1pm. Makeup and hair lasted all day long and I cried a TON! Of course I had to do some touch ups but the glowy base remained all day long. Thank you so much, Kori! Highly recommend investing in and trusting in Kori for your special events

I'm 35 weeks and can't really walk that much without getting super tired and achy. Mimi have some suggestions and we decided on beach session, I later changed my mind and asked if she had a studio; she did! She was so flexible to work with, responsive, and extremely kind and great in person! My shoot lasted a little over an hour. This was my first time doing a maternity shoot and I felt extremely comfortable. I saw some of the pictures sure took prior to editing and I can't wait to see the finished work! Thank you, Mimi for such a wonderful experience!

My fiancé hired Mimi to capture a once in a lifetime moment, his proposal. She charged him $673 for…read moretwo hours (and he tipped her $80 on top of that). We recently received our photos and are DEVASTATED. The quality looks like it was taken from an old flip phone by a random bystander. The photos are blurry, grainy, and taken from poor angles where you can't even see our faces.(Photos attached) Also during our proposal, she completely destroyed our special moment. She was very inconsiderate and didn't give me a minute to take in what happened (it was a surprise) and went right into posing us literally the second after my fiancé popped the question. I was crying and she told me to pose and smile... I can't even imagine how she'd be during a wedding. We reached out to her after receiving our photos to share our dissatisfaction and she blamed us for the timing of our proposal (5:15pm) and not having good lighting. Ok first of all, my fiancé gave her the time frame she would be shooting and she agreed to that. Secondly, the lighting would not fix her lack of skill and the poor angle/distance she took the photos. Thirdly, her response shows how completely clueless and insensitive she was on the sentiment of a proposal. If you want high quality photos and someone to capture special moments, do NOT make the same mistake and hire Mimi as your photographer. You're better off having a friend take pictures on their iPhone. You have been warned!

I cannot say thank you enough to Angie Hernandez for turning me into a Bridal Glamazon on the most…read moreimportant day of my life! Angie was my bridal makeup and hair artist and I can honestly say, without a doubt that I've never looked better or felt that spectacular in my whole life! I've always known the way you look will accentuate the way you feel, and I felt more gorgeous and irresistible than Miss Marilyn Monroe on my wedding day! Angie runs a first-class makeup studio, in Tustin. Her studio is absolutely incredible! She has all the bells and whistles you'd find at a high end makeup studio. Our first meeting (my bridal trial) was preformed here and the outcome was phenomenal! I warned Angie previous to my bridal trial that I am so fair, that even some of the most elite makeup companies cannot match my skin tone. And to top that off, I have very sensitive skin. She assured me that I'd look gorgeous, and boy was she right! I took a bridesmaid to the trail as an extra set of eyes and the both of us were completely blown away at the flawless match and coverage. Angie did such an unbelievable job with my makeup and hair that my bridesmaid booked that night as well. The results I received from her services were beyond all expectations and were worth more than the money I spent! You know those moments, where words aren't enough, but you have a profound understanding with just a look or a touch? I received lots of those double hand squeezes from the ladies and plenty of winks from the men and that special grin a loved one gives you when you've done right. Both my mother and now mother-in-law shed their fair share of tears, my bridesmaids we're in deep aw, and my now husband first word was: "WOW!" followed by that endless longing love stare. That day I didn't hear 'you look pretty', that day I heard 'you look fabulous, glamorous, beautiful, stunning, and breathtaking!' My bridal makeup and hair were finished by 8am, and I looked picture perfect well in to the wee hours of the next morning. I was absolutely floored that I could be photographed from 8am until well after 1am and still look like a million bucks! Also, her cosmetics did not irritate my sensitive skin, and they photographed perfectly! Angie is a perfectionist, and it shows in her work. She literally treats you like her masterpiece. Never fear, she will make sure you are perfect down to the last eyebrow hair! She truly has impeccable talent and the right tools to get the job done flawlessly! If I could give Angie more than 5 stars I would! She is well deserving of a 10 star 5 diamond rating! We had a wonderful time chatting and joking during the bridal (wedding day) makeover which really helped settle my nerves. She gave me ceremony tips and even helped me out with the how to's of the big day, like who is supposed to lift your veil. Angie is such a sincere and sweet person, that it really felt like a sister was prepping me. She is prompt, creative, and honest. I still cannot believe how truly lucky I was to find such a talented, friendly and affordable makeup artist and hair stylist! She delivered exactly what her slogan says: Flawless. Fresh. Beautiful.

I had seen Chanel's amazing website and her super professional looking photos, so I was stoked to…read morework with her, especially since hair and makeup AND styling was included in the session price (even though I ended up using my own clothes). I'm a model, and I take my work seriously, and expect top notch quality from anyone I work with, especially if I'm paying them. That said, Chanel's work isn't even on the same level as most of the photographers I've worked with for trade, and possibly far below most of them. Firstly, the images are her website are highly retouched. I understand that editorial quality photos are sometimes highly retouched, but the images are her website are NOTHING like the images you will receive from a photo session with her. My photo session went something like this. She had rented a studio for us to shoot in, I called her and tried to start our shoot a little later because I had an interview in LA, but she was unable to do that, so we ended up shooting in her garage and backyard, which was fine, but offered little variety in the photos. As a person, Chanel really thinks that she knows everything about fashion and style and will not hesitate to speak badly of other photographers or models, which isn't something I really want to hear when I'm trying to get some great images. It always makes me wonder what she will say about me after I'm gone. After the shoot was all said and done, Chanel said she'd send me my proofs sometime during the weekend. (The shoot was a Thursday) and it wasn't until a week later that I finally got the proofs, and they weren't even color corrected or anything...which is fine. But if she wasn't going to do any work, what took so long? I then gave her my picks for the retouching and it her 12 days to finally send me the retouched photos, after several emails back and forth saying that they were almost done. This would be fine if this had been a trade shoot, but I paid her and she kept stringing me along, saying they would be done soon. And when I finally got them, my face was OUT OF FOCUS. She didn't even check the focus on the proofs before giving them to me! So the best photo from the whole session is completely worthless because I can't blow it up to portfolio size without seeing the focus issues. She then said she'd print one out to check, which never happened. So I had to contact her again, a month later, because the retouches were so bad, all the texture from my skin was gone, and the colors were muddy and that I wanted the raw files so I could pay another retoucher to fix them. She then proceeded to tell me that she paid $80 for the edits and that she hadn't "retouched a photo of her own in about 3 years." Well, I finally realized that she'd been paying high end retouchers that charge upwards of $40 dollars an image to retouch her photos into something salvageable for her to use on her website. This is FALSE ADVERTISING. I should get the exact same quality or something VERY similar to what is on her site, and got nothing of the sort. I sent her a final email that wasn't near as chatty as my previous ones on June 7th, stating that I NEEDED the raw photos immediately for a new composite card and she sent them to me that night. She had completely IGNORED my from April 15th to June 7th until I decided to tell her that it had been several months since our shoot and I still hadn't received the raw files. What took her so darn long? Anyway, she is without a doubt the most unprofessional photographer I have ever worked with. There are incredibly talented photographers out there that shoot for the best agencies around that charge her prices. Go to one of them instead.
