Wonderful first time photo sesh [Vacaville CA]…read more What an amazing experience. I never thought I would be doing a boudoir photo shoot but there I was responding to an ad in Instagram and booking for a session... I had a 15-min consultation appt to give me a rundown of what to expect and was given a date to schedule for the photo session. When I chose the appt date I didn't realize that I chose the following day after the consultation call and there I was yesterday in Downtown Vacaville ready to capture this empowering experience. I made it to the studio, waited for my appointment time, I had a few minutes to spare... and the rest is part of my self-love history. My boudoir photography session (I felt) was all about celebrating me-- beauty, confidence, and individuality. The experience was a first for me and the ladies made me feel comfortable, they made it fun, and they were so supportive overlooking all my imperfections where I was able to truly shine. I didn't have to think at all during the photo shoot... they guide you through the entire session. The session lasted about three hours. Thank you to Kristen who did my makeup and hair. Tameka was the awesome photographer and I believe it was Riley who was the lead over production who will be cleaning up the photos (editing process)? I apologize if I got it wrong. Anyway, I'm glad I did this. The final digital photos will be delivered in two weeks. I'm not sure if I can share it here (I don't want to be banned from Yelp) but maybe I can blur them to share in iG. LoL! Review #4039

Before having our kids, my husband and I agreed on having newborn photos taken of all of our…read morechildren. We went with a different company to take our oldest's photos, but we wanted to try a new photographer with a studio for our next baby. We initially considered other photographers across the bridge; however, we weren't confident that we would be up early for a relatively long drive with a newborn and toddler. For that reason, we wanted a local photographer. I discovered Jennifer's Luna & Bloom browsing on Yelp. I looked at her protfolio and pricing and I'll liked what I saw. I reached out to her shortly after giving birth to secure an appointment. I'm very thankful that she was able to accommodate us on such a short notice. Jennifer is friendly, professional, and quite creative. She asked me in advance what colors I wanted my little one to be in for the photoshoot. Nearly everything was set up upon arrival to her studio. This helped to expedite things. We loved her creative ideas on the different poses and decorations for our little ones. Overall, we had a great experience with Luna & Bloom and the pictures turned out amazing! 5 out of 5 stars.

She has a great little studio in Vacaville. She was so easy to book with. She is responsive and so friendly. She did a great job posing out little one and making sure she was safe and comfortable. She has everything needed for the photos. The photos came out so well it was hard to pick. Everyone that has seen them has commented on how beautiful they are. The session was about two hours long, but if flew by. I can't wait to work with Jennifer again in the future for either some sibling photos or smash cake photos.

She had a great location picked out and it didn't feel like work- we were just walking around and talking and she got the kids engaged. To say I was blown away by the photos was an understatement. They turned out amazing and I'm so grateful that we found her. I've had several friends ask for a recommendation after seeing our photos. Can't wait to book her next year!

They went above and beyond to not only take the most beautiful shots of our events, but also extended a hand when needed in other areas. Making sure sunglasses, phones, important items weren't left behind. My now husband is not very thrilled about taking lots of pictures but they made it fun and creative throughout the entire days, and by the end of the night, he was loving getting more pictures taking. I can't begin to explain how amazing our experience was, we would use Amy and John over and over again for any opportunity we could. If you're looking for a talented duo, who without a doubt goes above and beyond, Loves Landing will without a doubt not disappoint.

I can tell they love seeing families come in and kids leave with smiles and a happy santa memory. I really like they think about the parents too. They play kids movies so the kids don't have to be so bored waiting. The Santa is amazing and the most looking Santa I've seen. He talks to the kids and jokes with them and acts his part. I would highly recommend checking this place out. It's worth the time and money. Having the photos to keep and memories to last.

We were very nervous because like any wedding whether big or intimate we had some changes that were out of our control happen a few days before the big day. Octavio was very flexible and assured us that the photos would turn out great. And he was right! We had an intimate SF city hall ceremony with just our families present. Octavio got there a few hours before us to spot the place out and look for great "lighting" where he could take amazing pictures. Then we had a small reception in Mountain View. Octavio was very thorough, always answered our many emails within minutes. He even asked for a list of people that were a must to photograph the day of. He really pays attention to detail!
