Heather Nguyen Photography - Session Photography Near Me

We are fairly new to the area and needed a family picture done. We don't know any photographers around the area so I searched on yelp and found Heather. Not only that I like her photography style, her price is reasonable and not too painful in the pocket. Contacted Heather and thankfully she's available on the day we asked for. She's responsive, helpful and knowledgeable when I asked her where we can go take photos (she has suggestions that's not overwhelming). When we met Heather at the mission- the day of the shoot, I'm so glad we picked her. She's the sweetest and absolutely patient with my two little ones. She took her time with us.... having two little squiggly toddlers in the photos is not easy! Heather is very friendly and a people person... if you hire Heather, you'll get great photos and perhaps a new friend. Looking forward to working with Heather again. read more

Heather did an amazing job with our November wedding. She found amazing spots to do photos and was very good at staying out of the way. Even with just one person she was able to capture ALL the photos we wanted. We got our wedding photos and they were very well organized and amazing editing! Each and every photo captures the joy and love during the moment! They are truly amazing. Thank you Heather for capturing our day perfectly read more

We chose Heather as the photographer for our wedding day, and we are so glad we did! We live outside of SLO County, and two hours away from our venue site in Paso Robles. However, this was never an obstacle as Heather made this part of the planning process very easy. Prior to booking, Heather was friendly, responded to all e-mails very promptly, and answered any and all questions we had; this helped us decide that she was the right photographer for us. After booking, we had an in-person consultation with Heather, where we discussed our wants and expectations for the big day and Heather explained her personal approach and photo style. The day of, Heather was incredibly fun and easy to work with. She gave clear directions for shots involving multiple people, just us as a couple, and ones that featured us alone. Looking at photos from the day, it's obvious that Heather is highly skilled at what she does, and knows what needs to be done to get the beautiful photos she did. She also got a bunch of great candid shots of our guests, which we were very happy about. Heather also strives to get photos back VERY quickly. Within a day or two, she had sent us a few photos to look at, with a preview album available one week after. When she sent us the preview album, she let us know that the final album would be mailed out to us within two to three weeks! We would not hesitate to hire Heather again, and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer! read more

This review is way overdue. We booked a family session with Heather in May in Paso Robles and very happy with our photos! She was so patience with my three kids which made the shoot a lot easier than expected. Heather is professional and incredibly talented with a great eye for finding the right shot. Highly recommend!!! read more

We love working with Heather for our family photos. She is sweet, professional, and always gets a smile from our three wiggly kiddos. I have no idea how she gets the insanity of our family photos to look so great but she nails it every time. Her prices are very fair for her amazing work and she also suggests great locations for our shoots. Love her! read more

Heather did my engagement photos and I could not have asked for a more professional and easy going photographer. She asked for what types of photos I liked and studied them, finding similar setups to what I had in mind. What I liked about working with Heather is that she knows how to take charge, directing us with the goal of drawing out the feelings you often see captured in film. She is very creative and has many ideas for shoots, with her own collection of props and vast knowledge of shooting locations and suggestions for poses. The quality of her pictures are also top notch. She knows how to capture people in the best light and is a pro with that camera. And what I appreciate post photography session is the care she puts into editing pictures, being attentive to the little things like cropping out extra people who accidentally popped into the picture or extraneous footprints in the sand that we initially didn't notice but her keen perfectionist eyes see. You also won't find a better rate than Heather's in the Central Coast. She produced excellent photos for us and we were very pleased. I highly recommend Heather! read more

I have used Heather for both of my sons Senior photo sessions and she knocked it out of the park!! She is flexible, personable, and has a quick turnaround for getting your photos done. I have enjoyed working with her so much and will use her over and over again. Highly recommended!! read more

Heather did an amazing job for my daughter's 1 year cake smash session, the turnout was above and beyond what I had imagined! It's especially hard to get my daughter to pose for pictures but Heather did great in getting some awesome poses and smiles. We will definitely be using her again in the future. Also, the person she used for the cake did an amazing job as well! Our cake turned out perfect and the colors matched our theme exactly. Once the session was done I was able to see sneak peaks on Facebook that night and it only took about 3 days to receive the full CD with all the photos on it in the mail so I was able to get the Birthday invites sent out right away. I just wish I knew about Heather when I got married! read more

Heather is absolutely amazing at what she does. My daughter is incredibly high energy and rambunctious and Heather patiently followed her around and didn't seem bothered by how bad of a photo subject my daughter was being. When I apologized for my daughter being such a bad subject, Heather smiled and turned to show me an amazing collection of images on her camera -there were adorable faces that I didn't even see my daughter make! It was really cool to see. The images that were returned to us were clear, brilliant, bright, and almost ethereal - she transformed a rambunctious toddler in a muddy field into a beautiful little girl playing in a fantasy forest. I can't say enough good things about Heather; she's sweet, patient, and has a fantastic eye for her subjects. Her attention to detail is flawless and her work is incredible. I can't say enough good things about Heather and her work. read more

I hired Heather to do our annual family photos this year, and I could not be happier. Heather is amazing at what she does. The photos that we received were of outstanding quality and so, so beautiful. We took photos at the picturesque Pomar Junction Winery. The day of the shoot, Heather was extremely friendly and easy to work with. Even though my toddler daughter was cranky that day, you wouldn't be able to tell by the pictures. Heather captured my daughter's spirit and personality beautifully. These are the best family photos that we've ever taken, and I will cherish these images for years to come. Thank you so much! We will definitely be using Heather to do our family photos from now on. read more

Heather is so easy to work with! From start to finish she made the entire process smooth and pleasant. The booking process was easy and when I was concerned I might have to reschedule she reassured me about open dates and flexible schedules. During our family session Heather gave us low key and appreciated direction as it was our family's first professional photo session. That being the case, she made us all feel very comfortable and that comfort shines through in our photos. We received our images in a very prompt manner and the quality of the digital images I received was crisp and clear. It was a nice day and all, but wow, the finished product looks stellar. I would recommend Heather to any friend or family looking for a great experience and images of their precious family that will be appreciated for generations. I'm so excited to get my images printed/framed/and hung up in our home. read more

Heather creates beautiful images, and is a pleasure to work with! She is very easy-going, creative, and reasonably priced. She was very clever about the settings, poses, lighting, and the photos are fabulous! She did a fantastic job balancing our desire for photos with an active baby and curious dog. She has also photographed our wedding, and our son when he was just born. The photos are amazing - and EVERYONE who sees them remarks on how beautiful they are. I would not hesitate to recommend Heather - in fact I already have many times. My husband, who usually hates taking family pictures, states of Heather, "She just gets the job done quickly, she doesn't waste her time or our time". read more

Upon a friend's recommendation, we called Heather to get our family portraits done prior to sending out our Christmas cards. I am very (VERY) last minute, and I called her mid-month and she was able to book us that very weekend. She drove out to Los Osos (from Paso - not an easy trek) and got started right away with no complaints (I would have been whining about that drive if it was me!!). We went for a walk down to the docks and she was able to recommend a lot of different shots that turned out AMAZING. I will definitely be calling her in 6 months for our next family shoot. Her prices are reasonable, she's got a great eye and obviously an amazing camera and editing skills, too. She was also very good with our hungry, uncooperative toddler. You would never know it from the photos that our kid was being a little tyrant. :) read more

Heather shot our sons first birthday event. She is punctual, professional, kind and very talented. Look forward to having her shoot all of our events for years to come. Highly recommend her! read more

Heather is amazing! She's been doing family pictures for us for the past few years, and the photographs are always fantastic. My 5-year old is typically a very difficult photo subject and Heather is extremely patient and always gets truly amazing shots, even when my children are not cooperating. She is extremely responsive and her prices are very reasonable. We love working with her! She always has great ideas for location and different settings, and she is super flexible. I once had to change locations at the last minute, and she was extremely accommodating. I highly recommend Heather! read more

When I was 22, I hired Heather to help me with my model portfolio. Since then, she's been my go-to photographer for any big life event. She did my engagement shoot, my maternity shoot, my daughter's newborn shoot, and I have her booked for my upcoming wedding. She is absolutely incredible. Her prices are very competitive and her work is better than any I've seen, and she always brings fun props! Every time I post pictures she's taken on my Facebook, I get a mass of comments asking who does my photos. Heather is simply the best. I love our shoot days, because Heather is relaxed, creative, and always gets natural and easy smiles out of her subjects with her good nature and fun attitude. She even involved my dog in some photos! I was especially impressed with how gentle and loving she was posing my 15 day old newborn- every mother knows they won't let just anyone hold their baby! I highly recommend giving her a call the next time you have an event coming up. read more

Heather was a pleasure to work with and a true gem. I'm so happy I found her. Heather did my engagement pictures and was there for me each step on my wedding day. She made sure I was taken care of and was professional, and patient, and so calm. She allowed me to relax and enjoy! Heather captured so many shots and she was able to add some humor in the pictures. The pictures came out beautifully. The engagement pictures, Heather found the location for us after I mentioned to her I wanted to be by a waterfall. She found an amazing waterfall for us at limekiln park. Heather is a pleasure to work with, she has a true talent for beauty and a strong sense of design. Her prices are reasonable, and the quality of work is amazing. Her assistant was a pleasure to work with. She is a beautiful person inside and out and I would strongly recommend her to anyone. Even my guests who have seen her work commented that each photo was beautifully captured. Thanks heather for everything and I wish you all the success in the world. read more
