If you are looking for an AMAZING family photographer, look no further. I've worked with several…read moreprofessional photographers over the years (maternity, engagement, wedding), so I know quality when I see it. Xinlei is truly one of the best I've ever worked with. I've already recommended her to several friends--and will continue to do so. I reached out to Xinlei in a bit of a panic, hoping to capture newborn photos at home. Thankfully, she was available and offered a wonderful "Watch Me Grow" package that included sessions at newborn (added fee), 6 months, and 12 months. I really wanted newborn photos in our home so we could include our two dogs and remember this special chapter--bringing our baby home to our San Francisco house. Like any new mom, I was overwhelmed. The day of the shoot was pure chaos--baby had a blowout, peed on the bed, skipped her nap, and I wasn't fully ready when Xinlei arrived. But Xinlei was so calm, patient, and reassuring. She made us feel completely at ease, even when everything felt messy. I genuinely thought there was no way we got any good photos from that session. But when the gallery came back, I was blown away. The photos were stunning. They beautifully captured our new family--full of warmth and love. You'd never guess how hectic that day really was. The 6- and 12-month shoots were just as smooth. Xinlei was consistently kind, creative, and patient--and the photos were incredible every time. I've received so many compliments, and I can't wait to work with her again. If you're even thinking about booking her, do it. You won't regret it! Also her pricing is very reasonable!!

As a new mom, who delivered 5 weeks early, I was disappointed not to have had a chance for a maternity shoot and overwhelmed trying to research accommodating photographers whose work I loved. After 3 months with a preemie we were finally ready and Xinlei was recommended by a close friend. She was amazing!! We selected her "Watch Me Grow" package that included sessions at newborn (she allowed us to do this at 3 months), 6 months, and 12 months. I really wanted my daughter's photos in our home so we could include our puppy and the brand new home we had just moved into. On zero sleep, still struggling to "feel like myself", realizing I had only selected outfits for the baby, and forgetting to eat... Xinlei was exactly who we needed. She came with bringing baked goods from Paris Baguette for my husband and I (hangry husband would not make for a good shoot! Haha), loved on our attention-starved puppy, and was so patient when our daughter feel asleep / had to take a milk break in the middle of the shoot. We laughed the whole time, got to know each other, and all felt so at ease! She even included my mother who was visiting in a few photos - something so special to us. The gallery (for all our sessions) blew us away. The photos were beautiful, captured our growing little family... and she even included a few fun blooper pictures (a given with a newborn, 6m, or 1 yr old) for laughs! We also looked forward to our sessions. Xinlei is so thoughtful, patient, and deliver beautiful quality work. I would highly recommend!!

Booking with Julia was so easy as her availability is shown online and she's quickly responsive to all emails. After booking she provides wardrobe suggestions which was super helpful to prepare, and also had the option of letting me and baby borrow outfits for the shoot. We received our online gallery of photos 3 weeks later and then a print of them a few weeks after then. Loved the pictures she captured and would definitely recommend Julia!

She is so kind, accommodating and best of all, wonderful and patient with children too. She took her time with us and really got to know our family.

I definitely recommend coming to Dani for your baby photos and family photos!…read more When it came to booking these photo shoots she was very quick to respond. Prices vary on the photo shoot that you would like and all of her prices are posted right on her website. I love the transparency! So far I have done my maternity shoot, my baby's new born, and my baby's 1 year photo shoot! Dani is patient and kind which is definitely helpful when working with little one! She has plenty of wraps and baby outfits to choose from. She has her own studio in downtown Nile's but is also willing to shoot outdoors which is nice. Her style of photography is definitely what drew me to her and I wasn't let down.

She was friendly and patient with us the whole time and her personality kept the vibe relaxing and fun. My wife and I don't take professional photos, so it was really nice to have an experienced photographer help us with poses and where to stand. We plan on asking her to take all our future family photos and we look forward to working with her again!

From start to end, Joe was professional and did a wonderful job in guiding us and suggesting poses. He also did a great job in capturing candid moments throughout our wedding night.

Very happy with Joe's photography services and would recommend him for your next photo needs!

We were trying to get a head start on our Christmas cards before the holiday craze takes over our…read moreschedules. I stumbled across a LS deal. I have passed on so many others as they were just too far (SF, O-town). I saw that Two Trees is local and I always want to support local businesses. Of course, the deciding factor aside from his portfolio is Yelp. 5 stars? It's a go! I reached out to Joe earlier in week. He responded right away and made himself available to come out this weekend. He's very responsive, professional, and listens to your ideas. I just booked directly with Joe and he threw in some bonus images. Check, check. He offered some options as far as length of time (30 min and 60 min photo sessions). No pressure to upgrade at all. It was totally up to me. Knowing my daughter and husband (especially), they can get really antsy and impatient. That's the last thing I wanted was for unhappy shots on our Christmas cards. I ended up trying out the 30 min, just to be on the safe side. The day I e-signed the contract (a simple agreement, no intimidating language) there was a bit of drizzle and rain in the forecast for the weekend. Yikes! (I didn't expect that with all the hot weather we've been having) Joe was flexible and said we could play it by ear. In the event it did rain, he have another opening the beginning of Nov. Today was our photo session day. No rain! Woo hoo! Joe texted me an hour before to ensure the weather was good for our photo session. My family and I just had a great photo session with Joe this morning outside our home. He was a pleasure to work with. He understood my vision and captured all my ideas, weather permitting. He is very knowledgeable getting the right angle and lighting to make the picture pop. We wanted our Rubicon in the background of our shots and Joe knew exactly how to incorporate it. The Hubs wanted to include the dog in our pictures at the last minute and Joe was able to accommodate us. The whole time, we didn't feel rushed. It was just fun for everyone. As luck would have it, it starts to drizzle as soon as we were done. Phew! I can't wait to see our images in a week.

Jenny did an amazing job capturing our newborn photos. I had no idea what to expect for a newborn…read moreshoot but she sent us information ahead of time and reassured us that it would be casual and there was no pressure. This is EXACTLY what I needed as a first time mom with a 10 day old baby -- I was exhausted and feeling so overwhelmed but really wanted to capture such a special time! Our shoot went so smoothly, she came prepared with tons of props, blankets, cute clothes, and even a space heater! As expected, a newborn baby isn't the most cooperative (although he slept a lot of the time) and she knew exactly how to soothe and calm him when he got fussy. The photos came out so quickly and were so precious. I am sooo grateful to have these photos forever. I honestly didn't know if I really wanted to get them done because it was such a chaotic time but it was 110% worth it. We've gotten several framed and used some for our announcements! Thank you SO much, Jenny, for giving us the beautiful memories of our 10 day old son. We will be forever grateful!

My son was pretty grumpy during our appointment (he also threw up) but my gosh you wouldn't have known since the final pictures were of him smiling and laughing. As a mother I know how hard it is to capture an infants attention but Jenny did it. She has a true talent with kids and they adore her. If you have a baby or toddler you need to have Jenny take their picture. Kids grow up too fast but luckily Jenny is able to freeze very special moments in time as a quick reminder for us parents that kids are a true blessing. Thank you Jenny for being so wonderful and giving me pictures that my family will cherish forever.

I was gifted a groupon for James F Edwards Photography @ Pharaoh Studios for a 45 minute photo…read moresession plus prints. Decided to use it for our family holiday card shot. Our first session was cancelled at 10:30pm the night before due to a power problem at his studios (ok, this was an understandable cancellation issue - but how about you call your client before 10:30pm the night before to discuss this issue?!). We then rescheduled for the following week. The morning of our second appointment, his studio crew decided to take the day off after other appointments (before us) cancelled. I was busy getting the whole family ready for the shoot so could not answer my phone to get the call that they were leaving. Basically, we were stood up in our Sunday bests. Horrible business, lousy responsiveness, last minute cancellations. Business 101 - Don't send your crew home when you have an appointment scheduled. It doesn't matter if the person doesn't answer their phone the morning of the appointment. Assume they are coming, and implement a cancellation policy!!!!
