As I grow closer to my 40th birthday, I finally decided to give myself (and my husband) this gift. After years of sporadic searching, I finally found Christina and Elle Division. She is everything you want in a photographer, especially this kind of work. With her fun energy and the support of a BFF, I felt instant comfort and confidence right out of the gate. The moment she turned that camera around and showed me, ME...I knew that this was an experience I would never forget. Wow! Today I walked away from my photo viewing and I am SO. Proud.Of myself! I cannot wait to share these with my husband, who already sees what these images and Christina helped me see. I cannot be more happy and grateful to have found Elle Division. I would 100% do this again. Don't wait or sell yourself short! You will not regret it.

He took time to get to know me and my artistic vision for my project and developed his own creative ideas to compliment mine. I now am ready to promote my music release and build my artist presence. His studio was amazing and has everything one would need for most studio shoots including a dressing room, props, lighting, and even sets! His studio is also worth visiting just to look at his amazing photography portfolio on display. I highly recommend you check out his photography and hire him if you need any photography work.

Christophe is seriously the most professional, knowledgeable, helpful and thorough photographer…read morearound! It all started when I sent a mass message request for quotes from various photographers around the Napa area. I had planned to do a surprise proposal for my now fiance and the responses I received were unhelpful and dry. Many responses were received such as "500 flat rate" or "not available". Well, Chris responded with a very thorough and inquiring message. He sent many many suggestions of places to propose at, what the area is like, what the staff is like ... man I can't name the countless details he has discussed with me. Point being, he went ABOVE AND BEYOND what nobody else would. I had a few places in mind to propose at, but these suggestions Christophe made were fantastic. I'm talking vast mountain views and intimate settings. Open vineyards as far as the eye can see where no one is around but just you and that special person. He has done us a 100/10 service in helping plan and set up the surprise engagement. Christophe is special to me in the way that he has made this whole process a comfortable and exciting one. I was very nervous throughout the whole process and due to some miscommunication, I was devastated but Chris cleared everything up for me and the other parties involved, and from there I knew he was a man with a good heart that only wants the best for his clients. In preparation of the surprise engagement, he gave very very thorough and specific details. Like, there's no way you can go wrong!! It was so comforting knowing step by step what I should do and how to help my fiance get the best shots without compromising the surprise in any way. In the end, my fiance was so happy about the whole engagement that we couldn't stop talking about Chris and the venue the whole ride back to our hotel. We seriously commend Christophe for his professionalism and attention to detail. If ever we return to the Napa area and need a photographer, we'll be hitting you up again Chris!! Thank you so much for a wonderful experience.

He listens to your requests and adds his suggestions where he feels they would benefit capturing the moment. Both photo shoots were fun, relaxing and he works with teens and kids with a style that has them at ease and having fun. Adrian delivered our pictures within a few days of the shoot And we received all of the pictures. Some of the lighting may not have been on point, but with a few minor adjustments ta da you have a great print. Some of the senior pix that he took that I thought were a little off with the sun ended up being our favorites. It takes someone who's willing to capture a moment at the risk of lighting issues or nature issues. A dog came into our shoot and those were the fun prints. He captured my son's natural personality and I loved it. I highly recommend using Adrian Tamblin Photography for your next shoot. You won't be disappointed. On top of it, he is very reasonable for the top notch quality.

We had the finals enlarged for display at a company party and received tons of compliments on the photos! His easy going approach was perfect for our office staff, making us feel totally comfortable during the entire shoot, even throwing in some photo jokes to keep us laughing! Very impressed with his professionalism and the finished product was superb! While his specialty may not be office groups, he captured us all perfectly! Thanks Adrian!

This was one of the absolute worst experiences that I've had with a photo shoot. I will describe…read morethe situation from the beginning. I wanted a fun photoshoot with an abundance of flowers. I reached out to her and she assured me that she understood my vision and would be able to deliver. I paid (and even tipped, regrettably) prior to the shoot, per her policy. During our initial conversation, I stated that I wanted a lot of flowers and I would buy them from a local flower shop. Kyra insisted that I would not need to purchase flowers because the photoshoot was after Mother's day and a wedding and she would be able to get them for free. I took her word for it and did not make arrangements. I tried calling her on several occasions leading up to the photoshoot but she did not answer my calls. I began to get worried, but I figured it was because she was busy. The night before the photo shoot, she told me she could not secure any flowers....the night before the photoshoot. When I suggested changing the date of the shoot to allow me to make alternative arrangements, she declined. I did not want to make a fuss, so I scrambled and found a place where I could buy several bouquets. So, on the day of the shoot, she began taping the flowers that I bought to the wall. She said that we only needed to tape a few because she would photoshop the tape out and cover the wall with the flowers via photoshop. I waited over three weeks for the photos. When I inquired about when I would receive them, she stated that she was sick and had to send them to a company to be edited. About two days later, I received the photos. Wow. They were completely unedited - the flowers did not cover the entire wall, the tape was not edited out of the photos from the flowers, and my actual face/appearance had no retouching. I was so confused. I revisited the contract and it explicitly stated "40 Fully Retouched Images." None were retouched. She tried to cover herself by lying in an email, stating that she only does "small retouches"/ contrary to the contract. So, she offered a few insufficient options to make an attempt to rectify the situation - she said I can 1. pay more money for each image to be edited (even though the contract states fully retouched images) 2. Use her standard retouching? 3. a 50% refund with no images. I even tried to make it easier on her and offered to obtain the raw images and I would pay an actual professional to edit them. She stated that she does not allow her images to be edited by others, which is contrary to the fact that she sent my photos to be edited by another professional, who did not understand the assignment. So, after all of that - I had to wait yet another 2 weeks for subpar images. To add salt to the wound, she even had the nerve to use MY image on her email marketing campaign. I highly recommend looking elsewhere - because you will not receive images according to your vision, there will be a lack of communication, and you will wait 3+ weeks for unedited images.

Kyra was an absolute pleasure to work with for our newborn photos. She was very prompt in contacting us back with our inquiry and throughout the whole process. During the newborn photo session, she was so patient with our wee one and us, the frantic parents. AND THE PHOTOS! Wow!! They are stunning.

I came from a past of not the greatest photographers which made me loose my spark in getting photos done to cherish special moments / people... but then Amanda knocked me off my feet with her special talent. She is fun to work with and so kind, professional, and a sweetheart. I will definitely be booking more sessions with her! She will Not disappoint you. Her talent goes above and beyond with every LITTLE detail ( which is SO important in photography). Thank you Amanda for giving us the gallery of our dreams!

Our family traveled from Wisconsin to California to be part of my brother and his beautiful wife's…read morewedding in 2022. It was so beautiful and such an intimate wedding. Myself, my husband, and our 9 month old son were all in the wedding party. As you can imagine, I was so excited to be able to see all the pictures that were taken. After all, it's not like we were able to take pictures during the ceremony or during all those special moments. People even say it's rude to take pictures during weddings, that's why you pay sooo much money for a photographer, right?! Well, after returning home, we learned the heartbreaking news that Amanda did not back up any of the photos on her computer after deleting them from her camera, her computer crashed, and you can guess what happened....ALL of the photos were GONE!! Who doesn't back up their work?! These are irreplaceable moments. This is so inexcusable and downright terrible business practices. But you want to know the cherry on the top of it all?! She refuses to give my brother and his wife their money back!!! She even had the gall to tell them that she'd only give them their money back if they would take down their review!!! We've bitten our tongues for a long enough. Save your money and do not trust this irresponsible photographer with your most precious moments. I understand things happen, but she has not handled this in any sort of professional way. This is honestly the most absurd thing that I have ever heard of and your actions for not backing up your work and how you've handled everything since have been egregious!!! They have been more than patient for the last two years, trying to recover photos and figure out a way to get this rectified and have not received anywhere close to an acceptable resolution. You would get zero stars if I was allowed. And I will post this all over again if I have to. Do not trust Amanda Marie Photography!!

I have used Allison for family photographs from the very beginning of my family over six years ago…read more She has done maternity, newborn, annual family photos, mini sessions and last year took on the massive undertaking of photos of my extended family (5 kids under 7 and 8 adults). She has the ability to incorporate the kids and give the adults a comfort even when they are uncomfortable being in front of the camera and worried about their wild kids' behavior. She has expert tricks to get candid looking photos. I am always beyond please with our pictures. She also is one of the only photographers that provides digital rights to the entire session and that for me is priceless! So many other photographers charge astronomical amounts and then still charge even more money for prints or access to digital rights. I have recommended her to friends without disappointment.
