I am not a very photogenic person and I was really worried my pictures would turn out weird or I would have some weird expression on my face. Erin was really good at making us comfortable and she would tell us exactly what to do (poses, etc) so the pictures would turn out nicely. We absolutely love our pictures!! She did something to the photos to make my skin/makeup look amazing. She is definitely very good at farm/natural outdoor type photography. Her prices are really good too. What I also really like about her is she instantly replies to questions/emails. I could only wish my other wedding vendors would reply as quickly as Erin. I highly recommend her.

Patricia is amazing to work with and gets extra credit for making my daughter laugh and be herself,…read morewhich is really difficult, when there's a camera involved. She has a great sense of direction to capture natural light in candid timeless moments, to be treasured forever. We first booked Patricia for our maternity session, 6 years ago, and have been using her for all of our family photos ever since: Newborn session, smash cake, first birthday party and every year, we try taking advantage of the 2 pre-booked sessions (Mommy & Me and the Fall Session, which is announced on her social media) - usually it happens in April and September/October. I highly recommend taking advantage of it as I find these to be very convenient, by keeping us on a schedule to get us captured twice a year, around the same time - it's a lot of fun to look back and see how much we have all changed in a 6 month period and through the years. Her photos are stunning and I always end up getting them all, instead of the pre-booked plan :) We will continue using Patricia for many more years to come. The more we work with her, the better we know each other's style and angles and the more comfortable we get with the camera.

Being a Big Sur/Monterey local, Adam provided extremely helpful insight and feedback for my proposal. He definitely helped relieve a lot of the stress during the planning phase of my proposal. On the day of the actual shoot, the day-of jitters was overwhelming at times, but Adam's energy and demeanor was very centering. He was patient and gave my new fiancee and I space to calm ourselves, and also knew when to take charge and guide us with our poses. He also had amazing and creative ideas for how to pose and brought us to local, reclusive spots to take intimate photos. Best of all, Adam always had a smile on his face and he made us really think like we were supermodels walking the runway haha. If you're going to do any photoshoot, especially a proposal or engagement shoot, in the Big Sur/Monterey area, I would highly recommend getting Adam!!
