Jamie is incredible!! She made us feel so comfortable and beautiful on our wedding day. She got every photo we asked for... and much more! She took SO MANY PHOTOS! Not only that, but she got our photos back to us within 2 weeks. I never heard of a photographer getting the pictures back that quickly. She was a pleasure to work with and I hope we'll get to take photos with her again some day. THANK YOU JAMIE!!! (and thank you to your assistant JoJo as well!)

This is our second photoshoot with Jamie and she continuously goes above and beyond! From organizing, communicating and creating a comfortable environment to capture authentic photos of our family, I truly can't say enough great things about her. Our surprise engagement was amazing and I can't wait to have her capture our family for years to come!

This is our 3rd time having pictures done by Jamie and she is incredible. Her work is stunning and she is so good at making you feel at ease and getting the perfect shot!

Here's our 2021 photo shoot in the Los Rios district in San Juan Capistrano

Jamie has been our family photographer for years. She can recommend a variety of locations for your photo shoot, depending on what you're looking for. She is very professional and edits your photos within a timely manner. I highly recommend Jamie.

We could not be more happy with choosing Jamie as our engagement/wedding photographer!!! JAMIE IS AMAZING! We chose to do both our engagement photos and wedding photos with Jamie. I highly recommend doing this because it allows you to get to know her and also she's super talented so you want her to do both photos! Our engagement shoot- Jamie asked lots of questions up front, which was very helpful because she really captured what we wanted. I also liked that Jamie suggested that we walk out into the "wilderness" to get some really cool photos. I highly recommend being open to her suggestions because they will turn out beautiful! Our wedding day - Jamie arrived with her crew and they were all wonderful! I was a bit stressed on the big day but Jamie was the perfect person to have around. One thing I really enjoyed about Jamie is she isn't afraid to give direction. She is very assertive and that is what you need on your wedding day, trying to wrangle family, drunk groomsmen and talkative bridesmaids can be taxing for the bride, but with Jamie, you don't have to worry about this - she will give direction. We just got married on Friday, so I haven't seen all the pictures yet but the ones I have seen are incredible!!! I could rave all day about Jamie, but if I had to sum it all up I would say: Jamie has a true vision and passion for photography, this is HER THING (like she was made for it), she is an extremely talented photographer and you are missing out if you don't hire her for your wedding!

My husband and I worked with Jamie on both our engagement and wedding photos and could not have been happier. Jamie is timely, professional, and most important fun! My husband is not big on photos and she was able to get him to loosen up and enjoy the moment. A huge quality that I was looking for when deciding on our wedding vendors were those who were reliable and consistent. Each time Jamie gave me a timeline she kept it and was always communicating with me throughout the planning and editing process. I have friends who have waited 6 months for their wedding photos. We had a sneak peek the next week while on our honeymoon and all of our edited photos within only 8 weeks. They're absolutely gorgeous and I've received so many compliments on them. I seriously can't imagine anyone better to capture our special day. I'm truly impressed by my overall experience with Jamie and will be recommending her to all of my friends. My husband and I definitely plan to continue working with her for maternity and family photos in the future.

We have used Jamie for family, engagement & wedding photographs. She is truly a down to earth gal that will work with your every need. We fell in love with her personality which helped us make a quick decision of using her for our destination wedding in Cabo. so yes, she travels too! Jamie is professional, flexible and has a quick turn around time. She does her research prior/ during the event to capture the best moments. she offers great quality, work and is trust worthy.

Jamie is absolutely amazing! She was hired to photograph my aunt's wedding and was absolutely incredible with her. My aunt is disabled and her mobility is not too great. Jamie was kind, gentle, and patient with her, she was INCREDIBLE! So incredible that I hired her for my wedding :) On time, very organized, and handled my diva bridesmaids super well, they loved her too! She was amazing with my guest and family. Her 2nd photographer with her, was incredible with the groomsmen. Pictures turned out perfect! Our family will definitely be keeping Jamie around for future events.

This review is long over due ! I had my son in March & throughout my pregnancy I had everything…read morethought out from our gender reveal to his going home outfit, to a maternity photoshoot to everything else in between... EXCEPT a newborn session !! IDK why that never crossed my mind, but apparently those are scheduled MONTHS in advance to ensure there is a spot reserved when the time comes ! I had no idea the window for a newborn is so small (it's like a 12 day window or something like that) so they must be done right away. Timing is critical ! After a few tries of reaching out to photographers, I was referred by Holly Heine to Julie Irene ! & I am SO glad she pointed me in her direction !! Right off the bat I was amazed at her work (I am a photographer myself, so I am very picky !!!!). Julie's work does not scream tacky JCPenny photo session. You can tell right away that every session is unique & catered to ones individual style ~ I just LOVE that !!! I felt very confident upon booking the session with her & was excited. We ended up doing a family session & I added the make up artist onto the package (worth it in my opinion, when you're a new mom getting ready is an impossible task sleep deprived !). The clothing she provides from her prop room for your little one are all hand made by herself & so adorable & timeless. When it was time to go take a look at the photos (a couple weeks later), I was amazed. She had so many options, it was a bit overwhelming but she made it easy to help narrow it down. Our package included a folio box which is an awesome investment ! It is sitting in our living room today. She also sends high res jpegs so you can get those printed on your own at a lab which is awesome. Photos are so important to me, they solidify the memories making them eternal. So yes Julie Irene I'd 10000% recommend. The fact she took me in last minute is amazing !!! She was so patient with scheduling us, the first day we couldn't make it & she could of charged some sort of fee but didn't. She is very patient, & understanding ! She is very gentle & is a baby whisperer with your newborn ! If you are looking for a newborn photographer, book your session here. The next round I will be booking her again !

While pregnant with my 2nd son I was in search of a photographer to do a newborn session since I…read morehad done one for my 1st son. For my 1st son we went through a different company as it was during the peak Covid-19 pandemic so I had opted for an in home session. I found Julie after a lot of researching online. Immediately fell in love with her work. Reached out to her to see if I could get more info regarding the newborn session. Her assistant called, left me a voicemail along with a follow up email. Unfortunately, I was unable to get back to her for about 2 months because I was still working full time and had a toddler to take care of so time got the best of me. When I did reach back out to her assistant I did not get a response after leaving a voicemail and email. I was still very interested in working with Julie so tried one last time to get in contact via her website. Julie herself immediately responded to me and apologized. Was so glad to hear from her. We were able to get a date/time for us to go to her studio for a quick meeting so she could go over the process, available packages and give us a tour of her studio. Love her studio and loved meeting her as well! She is super sweet and her studio is so spacious. One of the rooms also has bins of toys to keep toddlers preoccupied while she works with the newborn(s). After the meeting I knew I wanted her to do the newborn session for my 2nd son so I signed the contract. After my son was born I let her know our expected go home date and we scheduled for the session about 10 days out. Everything went smoothly day of the session. I had paid a small extra fee to have her hair & makeup girl doll me up as well. She made me look pretty as I was already sleep deprived with a newborn lol. Julie also has boppy and breastfeeding pillows so you can comfortably nurse your newborn to sleep for the photo session. Julie and her assistant were great with both our newborn and toddler. The photos came out amazing and the album we purchased is absolutely beautiful. We are so happy to have had Julie do our 2nd son's newborn session.

We stopped by on a weekday in the late afternoon and practically had the place to ourselves. Another family arrived shortly after, but it was still very relaxed and easygoing. The process was super simple. You can make a reservation, but we just walked in without any issues. We did the white background setup for 15 minutes, which was perfect and definitely a must if you're taking photos with little kids. There were a few technical difficulties during our session, but the staff member was incredibly accommodating. He paused the timer and gave us those minutes back so we didn't lose any of our shoot time. The pricing is great too! The package includes 2 people and 3 printed 4x6 photos of your favorite shots. Additional people are only $5 each, but they didn't charge us for our toddler or newborn, which was such a nice surprise. One of the best parts is that you get access to download every single digital photo from your session, not just a select few. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and ended up with so many great family photos. definitely considering coming back for another shoot

My husband and I were in search of a doula for the birth of our daughter and met Mackenzie at the OCWMG Midwife Meet 'n Greet. Mackenzie provided me with such great tools and resources to prepare my body and mind for labor including chiropractic and acupuncture care, labor prep circuits, colostrum harvesting, and hypnobirthing tracks. She also met with my husband and I to go over labor prep exercises for when I labor at home. Having Mackenzie by our side helped me to have my dream birth experience! Her calming presence allowed me to tap into a deeper strength I never knew I had within me. Mackenzie was so amazing to have for my husband as well during my birth - they were such a great team of support for me! From the moment I met Mackenzie, she has been such a kind, comforting, and loving presence. Her dedication to ensuring that I had my dream birth experience and my birth preferences were honored was such a blessing to me. We were so grateful that she also took my maternity photos and newborn photos after our daughter was born! Mackenzie is truly an angel and I am so grateful that she has become a great friend of mine! 10/10 !!!

If you want to re-live your big day over and over again years later, James is your guy! My wife and I had never done a professional photoshoot. Neither of us are particularly comfortable in front of the camera. After interviewing 5 different photographers, we knew from our first conversation that James was the one. He is incredibly friendly, easy going, and knowledgeable. We agreed to do an engagement session, 1 location for 90mins to see if we'd be comfortable working with James. It couldn't have gone better. Initially, we were a bit stiff, but James gave us tips on how to act naturally, suggested poses and hand positions that made us feel and look relaxed. The time flew by and we actually ended up going to a second location with a wardrobe change. Overall, it was about 2 hours. James did not mind at all. In fact, he probably could've gone longer if the sun hadn't set on us! Our photos were edited and received in less than 2 weeks! James was kind enough to print a large poster and sign that shipped to our house in just a few days. He price matched any package/prints from other photographers. Having gone through our engagement session seamlessly, we hired James to shoot our wedding as well. He and an assistant were on site for 10 hours, tending to our every need and keeping us on our timeline. After our planned family/wedding party photos, we hardly even noticed them working as we proceeded with wedding events. After the wedding, we received many compliments on how great James was and several guests asked for his contact information. Within a couple of days, we received a preview of about 20 photos highlighting our big day. We were thrilled! Every important moment was captured so elegantly! The full magazine of photos was available for download in about 1 month. James then worked with us to print a high quality photo book for our coffee table. You can't go wrong with James--his high quality work and work ethic speak for themselves. There is no substitute for how easy and stress free he made us feel, so that we could truly enjoy ourselves knowing that he would capture every single moment candidly. Do not hesitate to hire James, it will be the best decision you will ever make.

We say "much anticipated" because he was recommended to us by our wedding planner, "The Event Loft". And we were very happy for the recommendation. Daniel's photography captured the essence of our wedding day. He did so with sensitivity, insight and artistic interpretations of many of the important moments of our Wedding and Reception. His use of the natural, evening atmosphere illuminated with the scores of table candles and overhead market lights was spectacular! He brought even more energy to the day with the facial photographs of our family and friends. His photography artistically painted the true happiness of the day! Ultimately, Daniel delivered the finished photographs by a flash drive that was elegantly placed in a small, wooden box wrapped with a silk ribbon. We were so impressed by Daniel's simple presentation and creative capturing of the precious, fleeting moments of our Wedding and Reception. We thank Daniel for his artistic interpretations and thoughtful photography in keeping the happiest day of our lives with us forever. Recommending Daniel will always be a pleasure and an honor.

He is fantastic at getting his clients to relax in front of the camera so that he can capture genuine moments between you and your loved one. My husband and I both don't feel "natural" in front of the camera, but luckily for us, Daniel is a talented photographer and pose coach rolled into one! We had an amazing time on our engagement shoot - way more fun than we thought possible. Daniel is hardworking, understanding, and very generous with his time and expertise, and even gave us feedback on other aspects of the wedding planning process. We love our wedding photos and can't wait to receive our album! Bottom line: if you're like us (what do we do with our hands??), do yourself a big favor and give Daniel a call!
