5 Stars - Absolutely Amazing Experience!…read more Firstly, I do not think I have ever written a yelp review but yall should know about this photographer! I couldn't be happier with our experience with Rachelle. The photos of my newborn daughter are stunning, and I mean ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. The pictures are truly timeless treasures and I will cherish them forever. Her attention to detail was incredible and she handled my 9 day old baby with such care! Additionally, she was accommodating to our every request. I asked for a specific pose to match my son's newborn photos (taken by a different photographer when we lived out of state), and she nailed it perfectly. As a bonus, the studio is conveniently located next to an amazing deli, which was perfect for grabbing a bite during the session. There is plenty of parking and the studio vibe is chill. I cannot say enough good things about her and we'll definitely be return customers for family portraits. Thank you Rachelle for capturing these precious moments so beautifully!

We heard of Rachelle through our friends and we were not disappointed! It is clear that she has…read moreclocked many years in this industry as how effortless the shoot was despite needing to capture our toddler and two rowdy dogs. I was hesitant about doing an outdoor shoot with our dogs and toddler, but it went very smoothly. Rachelle was great interacting with our toddler and our dogs. Our toddler gave her best smiles and poses (something she never does for any other photographer!). The final photos were beautiful and exceeded our expectations. There is a true magic to Rachelle. We can't wait to work with her again!

I am finally coming down from the wedding high, and looking back at our photos and video, I am just…read moreso incredibly grateful we chose Passion Studios. From day one, the communication was always on point! They were so fast to respond to me- esp Raymond! I truly felt he was my bestie during the coordinating! From the moment the team arrived, they were on it. They didn't just show up to work; they showed up with this amazing energy that made me feel like they were just as invested in the day as we were. As a bride, there is so much going on, but they made me feel so comfortable and truly beautiful the entire time. They weren't just "vendors" they were like our own personal support system, making sure we were taken care of from start to finish. The video they put together is something else. It is so obvious that they didn't just throw clips together; they really took the time to listen and watch for the parts that actually mattered. Every important moment, every look, and every laugh was right there. If you want a media team that is professional, talented, and genuinely kind people who make you feel like a million bucks, hire them. Thank you, Passion Studios, for capturing our day so perfectly!

We had an amazing experience with Raymond for our newborn and family photoshoot, and I can't…read morerecommend him highly enough! We booked him when our baby was just 3 weeks old, and due to my health condition, he generously offered to come to our home--which made a huge difference for us. From the moment he arrived (30 minutes early, by the way!), he was professional, prepared, and incredibly easy to work with. What really stood out was his patience and expertise with newborns. He gave us plenty of time to feed and change our baby without ever making us feel rushed, and he gently guided us through poses so everything felt natural and comfortable. He clearly knows how to work with families and newborns, which made the entire session smooth and stress-free. And the turnaround time--wow. He delivered beautifully edited photos in less than 12 hours, which is almost unheard of. The images turned out absolutely stunning: natural, soft, and truly captured this special moment in our lives. The online gallery was also very easy to access and download. If you're looking for a reliable, talented, and thoughtful photographer--especially for newborn sessions--Raymond is the one. We're so grateful he helped us capture these precious memories with our first baby. Highly, highly recommend!

The booking process and planning was a breeze. There were a few questionnaires and a schedule to complete in the months/weeks leading up to our wedding, which allowed for a smooth wedding day, set with clear expectations. The day of, he was so patient and pivoted effortlessly when we veered off schedule a bit. When we first met P.J., we were both so nervous about being the center of attention and having to take photos in front of everyone. Fast forward to our wedding day and we felt like natural models! It was too fun, especially our couples photos. Not only did he make us feel comfortable, but our friends and family also raved about him. Booking a photographer for your wedding can be stressful, but rest assured P.J. will make it a memorable experience and be there for you every step of the way. He beautifully captured our special day from the big moment to candid shots. The quick turnaround and quality was also impressive! We couldn't have asked for more and look forward working with him again. Thank you!! -Michael and Angelica

Whether you want candid shots or posed portraits, P.J. can deliver. I am not photogenic or good at posing but all of my pictures (and I!) came out beautifully. Book with confidence. You won't have any regrets.

After mildly panicking, I found Valerie of Tilted Crown Photography. I looked through her portfolio and read about her philosophy as a photographer and decided to reach out. She was super easy to talk from the very beginning! We chatted about what I wanted to achieve from our session and how our collaboration would work for gorgeous photos. I was lucky that Valerie had availability and she accommodated my last minute request--seriously we took my photos the week before I gave birth! We met up, had fun getting to know eachother and enjoyed our time in Old Sac walking and taking photos. I received my final gallery this week and all of the photos are amazing! They captured my pregnancy and incorporated Sacramento flawlessly into this momentous life experience. I especially love the female empowerment that Valerie is able to bring forth in her photos. Even at my most sweaty and uncomfortable, she was able to make me feel sexy and strong as a new mom to be. If you want a friendly and passionate photographer I can't recommend Valerie and Tilted Crown enough!

We met with Luke in Sac the day of our wedding reception. Luke was easy going and great to work with overall. He's a fast worker. He showed us some of the pictures right after taking them.

If you sign up for their emails you can see how they always have minis and specials which are so affordable. I also follow their Instagram page and they post their offers there as well. I normally book online by choosing an available day that works for us. On the day of our appointment we check in at the front desk and they will take you to their sets next to the front desk. You pick your backdrop and they start taking pictures. My favorite is their holiday headquarters specifically their Christmas sets. They now do instant viewings so you do have to wait after your session and you basically go through the unedited pictures on an iPad.

Let's just say Mariah is amazing, Mirarose loved her so much that we booked her next session with her! I would highly recommend this location!

Do yourself a favor and hire Danielle as your wedding photographer!…read more Where do I even start - Danielle is amazing at what she does! She made my husband and I feel super comfortable in front of her camera and it feels like you've known her forever because of her kind, bubbly and sweet personality. We recently got our wedding photos back from our city hall ceremony and what can I say WOW just WOW! Pure magic! Choosing which photos to put in our album and on our walls will be a very tough decision! Danielle - we can't thank you enough for capturing one of the best days in our lives and can't wait to work with you again! Much love, Tamara and Rob

I was trying to wait until we got the full album (she has already sent us some stunning sneak…read morepeeks!) back from our wedding last week to leave a review but I just can't! If you're even slightly considering hiring Danielle for any type of photography...DO IT. Hiring Danielle to take my engagement and wedding photos was the single best decision I made throughout the entire wedding planning process. From our introductory phone call to our last set of emails about fixing a (beautiful absolutely perfectly shot) wedding photo (that was ruined by a wedding crasher), Danielle was nothing but friendly, warm, professional, knowledgeable, and all-around delight. A huge amount of our guests commented how kind and unobtrusive Danielle was and how they wished their wedding photographer had been more like her. And I haven't even gotten to her talent yet. Danielle is just a really damn good photographer. My husband and I both don't particularly love having our photo taken and, if I'm being honest, we haven't worn more than sweats in the last 2+ years since we both work from home. Every photo Danielle has taken of us is absolutely stunning and we both felt so comfortable with her during the process. I seriously cannot recommend her enough.

From the beginning, we were incredibly impressed by his professionalism, talent, and personal approach. Colby took the time to get to know us both as individuals and as a couple before the wedding, which made a huge difference on the big day. Even though he wasn't our photographer, we were so impressed with his work and how comfortable he made us feel that we knew we'd want to work with him again for future events--and boy, are we glad we did! On the wedding day, Colby brought such a relaxed yet focused energy, which made everything seamless. He made the experience fun, capturing all of our most cherished moments in a breathtaking video. We still watch it regularly to reminisce! He also provided us with a fully edited video very quickly after the wedding, along with the most adorable keepsake--a wooden box with a handheld video display inside. It's a memory we'll treasure forever and something we're excited to share with our family for years to come. Fast forward a year, and my husband and I are now expecting our first child. Knowing how amazing Colby was at our wedding, we immediately thought of him for our maternity photoshoot, even though he hadn't done our photography on our wedding day. My husband reached out to Colby last minute to organize a surprise shoot, and Colby was so accommodating--he fit us in that same week! Once again, he brought his A-game, and the photo session was just as effortless and enjoyable as our wedding day. Colby captured this special moment in our lives beautifully, and we received the photos promptly after the shoot. We're absolutely in love with how they turned out, and it's clear that Colby is not only an incredible videographer but also a phenomenal photographer. We can't recommend Colby enough! Whether you need a videographer, a photographer, or both, Colby is the person you want by your side to capture life's most precious moments. We would 100% work with him again and recommend him to everyone we know!
