We were super happy with our engagement pictures and ecstatic when she gave us our wedding pictures and slide show. For our wedding she shot in both film and digital and really caught the romance of the day as well as the joy of our family and friends. Barbara is amazing and comes into her element when she is behind the camera and made us feel so comfortable. I recently saw that Barbara was going to start doing Boudior and always wanted to do it and knew that she would put such a fun spin on it. We did our shoot yesterday at a swanky/fun hotel in west hollywood and it was such a blast! I am not a sexy person, but Barbara made me feel so confident and good about myself that I had no problem strutting my stuff knowing that she knew what to do to make me look amazing. Barbara is extremely talented photographer, and a great person. I can't wait to see these newest pictures and know that I will someday work with her again :)

We started looking for photographers, and we are so lucky we found her!! She accommodated us the same day. She used both film and digital cameras during the shoot. She was able to capture the moments so well. The pictures are so graceful. The lighting she was able to capture during the sunset is just amazing! She got the pictures to us promptly after the shoot. And she even edited our favorites for us. We would highly recommend Barbara. We will definitely use her again!

Anna did an incredible job with our photos.

We shot our first look and family portraits at the SB Courthouse, and she was great about knowing locations that made sense with the light we had, and she fought for shots in public spaces as needed. She was incredibly calm and professional, and we felt we were able to trust her decisions and guidance as out-of-towners. Anna got us an amazing teaser set of photos within a few days of the wedding, and our full batch of photos came through a few months later in a lovely and well-organized platform. We have really stunning photos that captured us, as well as the beautiful Santa Barbara venues we love.

My…read morehusband and I decided last minute to have a vow renewal for our anniversary and I knew I wanted to have my hair and makeup done professionally. I found Santa Barbara Hair and Makeup on Instagram and loved what I was seeing so I crossed my fingers and hoped that Emily was available that day. She was!!! And I'm so grateful. I had sent her a few different styles of hair and makeup, but was totally putting my trust in her and I'm so glad I did! I loved my hair and makeup, but most importantly, I loved how comfortable she made me feel. We talked and laughed while doing hair and makeup and my 10 year old daughter loved talking to her too! If you're looking to have your hair and makeup done, do yourself a favor and contact Emily at Santa Barbara Hair and Makeup. You won't regret it. Not only is she great at what she does, but she's a beautiful person inside and out. Emily, thank you for making me feel so special and beautiful on such a huge occasion for us. I'm forever grateful!!!

I booked Rebecca to do a shoot with my son and his friends, who were graduating from UCSB. I admit,…read moreI was a little uncertain at first, because her gallery of shots was filled with wedding shots and children's portraits. But after we spoke on the phone, I felt confident she was up for the task. Her price was commiserate with the other estimates I got for the job. One thing that was key to me was that we would have all the digital photos, without having to pay extra for them or extra for high res. Another decision point for me was that she would digitally correct all the shots and not just 4 or 5 that I'd pick or worse, a fee to correct more than a few. To be clear, her fee included all digital shots in high and low res with all shots digitally corrected. In booking the shoot, she was flexible on picking the perfect time to try to take advantage of golden hour. She was also flexible about shooting at several locations around campus for no extra fee. I wasn't present during the shoot, but my son reported that Rebecca was great and fun and flexible. I can tell from the shots that the guys were very relaxed and had lots of fun with Rebecca. She took portraits of each guy, which the families loved and also wonderful group shots. I would hire Rebecca again in a heartbeat. She did a great job!

Rebecca met us down at the harbor for a quick family shoot and did an incredible job capturing great shots even when it was well past our little one's wake window. She knew just how to capture his attention and get him to smile. I appreciate how she made us feel so comfortable and was able to capture some truly candid shots. My Husband normally doesn't love family photoshoots but commented afterwards that it was his best experience and she was so efficient! Since our boy was a little grumpy she wasn't able to get any solo headshots with him smiling, she offered to come over to our place the next week and snap a few complementary. I have used her for a few shoots now and am always excited to get the photos back. Highly highly recommend!

One of the highlights of our wedding was having Isaac as our photographer. Of course having good…read morephotographs is very important - and he took amazing photographs - but just as importantly he and his wife Nancy were just great to be around! Having Isaac as our wedding photographer felt like we had a very charming guest who just happened to be taking a lot of pictures. He made us laugh, he melted into the background when he needed to be out of the way, and he captured the essence of our wedding story. The morning after our wedding my husband and I took a walk around the lake and talked about the wedding. He told me how much he enjoyed our wedding, and how he was glad we hadn't just eloped like he kept suggesting during the excruciating planning process. He said that he was especially glad that we had hired Isaac as a photographer, that he reminded him of Roberto Benigni, and that he had brought such a positive energy to everything. We left for our honeymoon the week after the wedding, and Isaac stayed up all night to get our photos online for us. We were both taken aback at the amazing pictures he had taken of our wedding. It was really delightful to get to relive the wonderful experience through Isaacs beautiful photographs. If you are planning on hiring a photographer and you want someone who is going to go down the checklist and only get the standard wedding photographs, than Isaac might not be the right photographer for you. If you are looking for someone who is going to be delightful to have around, and will capture not only the standard group shots, but the moments you would never have thought to ask for that tell the story of your day, than we cannot recommend Isaac highly enough.

In the sea of talented photographers capturing pictures of babies, kids and families so…read morebeautifully, it is hard to decide which photographer is THE best ONE for you. I know how important pictures, later translated into memories, are for all of us who decide to hire a photographer, so I appreciate the many thoughts and considerations that go into the decision making process. Here is why I decided to hire Sarka not once, not twice but 6x now for both our kids and for our family. When you look at Sarka's pictures, you know she's got talent; and an incredibly impressive collection of props that make her photos even more unique and different. She's creative, knows her craft, has the right equipment, great eye for the perfect angle, and her pictures are just as perfect as they can be - colors, light, shadows, contrasts, and all the other technical details. However, one of the many reasons why her pictures are so perfect is something you can't see unless you are in the room with her watching her work. When you see Sarka work, you quickly realize that she loves what she does wholeheartedly. She is incredibly gentle, patient, loving, kind, warm and when working with her, you find yourself surrounded by aura of kindness, friendliness, and loving nature. The first time she held my little newborn, I almost melted. He was there, snuggled in her arms, and it was perfect. She was so sweet with him, I just sat and watched. It was beautiful. She has a way of relating to little kids and kids love her in return. Furthermore, when needed, Sarka is not afraid to get down and dirty. During one of our photo shoots, which was set on the beach, she was down on her back and on her tummy, knees and elbows, to ensure she gets exactly what she needed. Our at that time 2 year old wasn't very cooperative that day, so she got down on his level and took pictures from the level that worked for him, not from that which worked for her. I didn't believe that with his lack of cooperation, we would have any real "keepers", but when my husband and I looked at the pictures she sent to us, we both wondered when did she take those? :) That, in my mind, makes her a magician, too. :) We referred Sarka to many of our friends and they are all SO happy they too hired her. Most of them are now returning clients because they love her work and her for who she is and how easy she is to work with. I give her an A++++!
