I really liked that Crystal knew exactly how to guide us and made the best use of the location and time of day to capture the best natural light and come up with such stunning images! Oh and yes her turnaround was incredible -- no long waits and we had our photos with ample time for holiday greetings. I would so highly recommend Crystal and CL Image. Not only is she super talented and comes up with visually sensational shots, but she is so great to work with personally and can guide you through the shoot with ease. It was a lot of fun and we got amazing pics!

The photos she captured are stunning, the clean white background really allows the subject (baby/family/etc) to be front and center. She also had plenty of snacks to keep everyone fueled up. Corinne is definitely a baby whisperer because I needed to change my son's diaper when we arrived, which woke him up, and she was able to work her magic to get him back asleep. Corinne has a very warm and engaging personality, so I felt very comfortable being photographed by her. I would highly recommend her for newborn photos, and I wish we found her sooner for my older children.

Sandy is truly one of the most skilled newborn/family photographers in the bay area! I was lucky to…read morefind Sandy 4 years ago with my first born and the newborn photos ended up being incredible! It was an easy decision to go back to her with our second baby. Here are some of the ways that Sandy truly stood out: - Both our babies were born around Christmas holiday and scheduling was not an issue at all for Sandy. She checked in ahead of the appointment to ensure we didn't need to reschedule (much needed for parents that just gave birth recently) and had our themes ready prior to us arriving. - The themes were 10/10, better than what we could've envisioned ourselves. And our themes were generic such as lemon or Christmas. - The amount of patience Sandy has is seriously amazing! Our second baby was a bit harder to photograph compared to the first, in addition to a toddler who wasn't in the mood for pictures, and it didn't phase Sandy at all. She took her time to make sure she was able to capture each theme well and had tips up her sleeve to get the toddler to take some pictures. I highly recommend going with Sandy if you're considering photo sessions! She goes above and beyond to ensure all the special moments are captured and the pictures are so incredibly worth it.

I'm truly delighted to share my experience working with Sandy! Her communication was wonderful from…read morethe very beginning, from arranging the appointment and customizing the scene setup to sending the photos. Everything went so smoothly. I am really impressed by her talent with infants and children; she was fantastic with my newborn and my 2-year-old. Her ability to craft stunning scenes is also incredible. And when it comes to her photography and editing skills, they are truly outstanding--just look at the edited photos, they're absolutely stunning! You won't be disappointed with Clairbare Studios and Sandy's gift for capturing beautiful, lasting memories of your little ones.

I knew from the moment I saw her work that Christina was going to be the right choice, and she did not disappoint. Tons of positives: - she was easy to communicate and plan with, even when I wanted to switch one of my locations the week of the shoot - she made us both feel comfortable in front of the camera, which is no small task - she was flexible with my ideas, but also brought her own to the table - photos were back even sooner than I'd expected, and were of the quality I'd seen on her website But I think what I liked best was Christina herself. She was extremely pleasant to work with, and treated my casual event with the same professionalism and respect that she would a wedding. She had very positive presence and brought a really good energy and enthusiasm to the shoot. She was a lot of fun and brought out the best in my partner and me. I'm so glad I selected Christina and Nightingale Photography, and she would absolutely be my first choice if I were to need a photographer again. Thank you!

I agreed( and fully intended to full compensate her by tip for her time/work). Over the course of a month, she cancelled LAST MINUTE within a couple hours of our scheduled shoot time, THREE SEPARATE TIMES!!! After the 3rd time I asked if she had a reschedule date or if she changed her mind about doing it completely and she copped an attitude. So very unprofessional. In my profession I give away free things from time to time not expecting anything in return, but Who offers free shit and then gets a shitty attitude about it? Her pics are mediocre at best and trust me after reading her ridiculous contract and dealing with her snide attitude, it's definitely not worth the headache. Book elsewhere. Shauna poor delusional you. When did I request your services? Never. I have you in my inbox requesting to shoot us for free for exposure for YOU. Also How was I to know your child was in hospital? You didn't relay that info to me? Your exact words were that I was "established" which was your reasoning for asking for free publicity from me and my man. I was looking for a professional when you requested that we do YOUR AMATUER ASS a favor. I agreed to use you only because you came to me for a service. Which you showed up for on the wrong day and I found a babysitter asap to accommodate you. And my daughters bday is on sept20th no one was scheduled or rescheduled that week so stop lying. Anyone can can zoom in on my work please feel free to. You're reaching hunny. Take this L, loosen your girdle and go to bed. Edit* Shauna has been having several people harass and troll my page all day long since I posted about her unprofessional conduct.

Choosing Evan as our wedding photographer was easily one of the best decisions we made in planning…read morethe big day. He is a rare combination of detail-oriented, timely, professional, organized, and on the ball mixed with super fun, funny, energetic, patient, excellent EQ skills, and overall making you feel comfortable and relaxed, like you're friends just hanging out. His ability and talent to find the best places, frame the photos, get you in the right lighting and centered, and have you look your best are unparalleled. Evan is also able to adeptly navigate and direct crowds of people in a way which is never bossy and makes it fun in the process. For example, there was one auntie who was holding a kleenex tissue while setting up for one of the photos; he noticed and gently asked her to give it to him, receiving many laughs along the way. He also made sure every face could be seen in the larger, extended family photos. We got so many compliments about him from our family members about his ease with all the guests. He was also very well liked by the church and venue coordinators. Leading up to the wedding, he's super responsive by email. We also chatted over the phone and skyped with him. Setting up times/meetings is a breeze. He's got these awesome timelines, spreadsheets, and other helpful items. And he really listens, takes notes, and works with your likes/dislikes on poses, styles, all the usual stuff. He's such a joy and pleasure to work with over the months leading up to the wedding, and we were so lucky to have him capture so many special moments. Our engagement photos turned out phenomenally, and our wedding photos are amazing as well. He and his team made the experience and whole day a blast, and I definitely recommend him without any reservation.

He did our wedding in 2020 and was very safe and compliant with all the pandemic restrictions. Fantastic person and professional

I was looking for a photographer in the Brentwood area as a graduation gift for my niece. She was…read moregraduating high school, and I wanted to make this moment extra special for her. I came across Kree's Yelp page because of how close she was, but what really stood out was her website--the caliber and vibrancy of her photos were incredible. I knew right away she'd be a perfect fit for capturing my niece, both in her cap and gown and in her super colorful prom dress (which I was confident Kree could do justice!). From the moment I reached out, Kree was super responsive and easy to communicate with. The contract was simple and straightforward, pricing was fair and the breakdown of her packages were awesome. and she helped us agree on a time and location that worked perfectly, not far from our house either, which was a huge plus. On the day of the shoot, Kree arrived right on time and immediately made my niece feel comfortable. Since it was my niece's first time being professionally photographed, I appreciated how Kree guided her with poses and gave her direction to bring out her best angles. She was friendly, patient, and made the whole experience fun. We received the edited photos about two weeks later, and they were amazing, better than I could have imagined. Kree truly captured my niece's personality and the significance of the moment. Highlights for me: super responsive communication, an easy-to-understand contract, a convenient location, her friendly demeanor, and of course, the beautiful final photos. Thanks so much Kree!!!

Looking for a photographer to capture your big moments, who makes you feel comfortable and beyond…read moreeasy to work with ? You have to work with Toanven Photography because you will not regret it at all and get everything you want and more!! Toan and team are the absolute very best - worked directly with Toan, Martin, Trieu, and Michael and all very professional and super easy to get along with! We used Toanven photography for our engagement photoshoot / pre wedding , church wedding ceremony at St.Jarlath Catholic Church and civil wedding at Nella terra cellars. Also used their videography services which was also really great. When looking for a photographer , we wanted to make sure that our photographer is easy going, can help guide us and has experience with our venue. I discovered Toanven photography because my best friend used their services for her wedding and after finding out Toan had lots of experience at Nella Terra we knew we had to meet him. On our first zoom call Toan was beyond welcoming and excited which made us excited. He made us laugh, made us comfortable and answered all of our questions and broke down the whole process. Before the wedding Toan helped us better plan our timeline for photos and took his time to understand what were the "must have photos". He gave us alternatives on how we can still get pictures with others and saving time. His advice on a family shot list was super helpful as well. On wedding day Toan was just the person I needed around me with all the craziness of wedding day. His personality bring calmness and he is quick to think if a photo location doesn't work well for the lighting - he found better positioning and areas for the photos the look flawless. Beyond helpful when it came to posing, how to stand , where to look and capture all the right angles. Lastly, Depending on the package you go for, you will get a set number of edits photos and our photos were so amazing it was hard to reach the number of edits we can use. That says a lot about how the quality of the photos are and how they already shine! So reach out to Toanven photography, I promise you will love every moment!

Thank you Jin for such a wonderful experience. It's been a pleasure working with him as our wedding…read morephotographer. Jin is always responsive, flexible, open to new ideas and so patient!! As a bride, I can't emphasize how important it is to have a photographer who is willing to work YOUR way- location, specific shots, endless changes in schedule...

We were lucky to find Jin via Stephen Hughes Photography for our wedding at Postino in Lafayette,…read moreCA in July 2016. Jin met with us at the venue a few weeks prior to scope it out and review our schedule, as well as discuss a photo plan. We got along with him great, as he is very warm, personable, and thoughtful. During the wedding, he worked behind the scenes and his presence was barely noticed. Jin must have had a tremendous challenge taking some of these photographs, because our adorable, albeit uncooperative one-year-old was crying throughout the ceremony and afterward. Yet somehow we still ended up with hundreds of beautiful photos from Jin, including of our tearstained doll. He sent them in groups. I think we got the first ten within about a week, then maybe 60 within a month, and the rest within 3 months. Before the wedding, we told Jin we thought we didn't need a million photos, just of the main events and a few planned ones, but he correctly pointed out that your own wedding day ends up being kind of a blur to you until you see photographs of it, and it's good to take as many as possible throughout and also to think about and plan which posed photos you want to take. He ended up capturing so many beautiful moments that we will now remember forever, and I'm glad we trusted his experience. We might have otherwise sent him home early and missed so many stunning photos and great memories. I would recommend Jin's photography highly, and I'm glad to serve as a reference!
