Kristin did a fantastic job with our newborn. She was prompt with scheduling and very communicative with the whole process. When we arrived she had everything ready and the room was warm and comfortable for our little one. She took the best care during the session to keep our baby comfortable and cozy. She was so patient with the poses and took her time changing out wraps and accessories to keep him sleeping and happy. I couldn't have asked for better pictures from a newborn session! We got the photos back in less than a week and Kristin did a fantastic job with editing! We also got sneak peeks just a few days later. Overall it was a great and easy experience for two new mommies thanks to Kristin. Thank you! read more

Kristin photographed our baby shower and did an incredible job. She arrived on time and was a joy for our guests to be around. To top it off the photos were absolutely perfect! She captured detail shots, candids, and relaxed portraits of our closest family and friends. We are absolutely thrilled that we chose her and will recommend her to others!!!! read more

Kristin was great to work with and was very patient and gentle with our little one, who didn't cooperate and stayed awake for half of the shoot. And the photos turned out adorable! Highly recommend! read more

I wish I could give more than 5 stars. Kristin took beautiful family photos that captured our kid's personalities perfectly. She must be a magician because she was able to make us laugh and look natural! With three hyper kids, it's nearly impossible to get everyone looking and cooperative, but Kristin had all sorts of tricks up her sleeve to make us look great. She got our pictures back to us very quickly. I cannot wait to make our holiday cards this year. If you are looking for a great photographer in orange county, you should definitely use Kristin. read more

Kristin definitely has a gift for capturing some of the sweetest moments of your life. She is kind, welcoming, and instantly makes you feel comfortable. We took newborn pictures at her studio and it was so cozy. It was nice and warm so our baby stayed sleepy and calm (for the most part). She had a candle on that smelt so good! and had the cutest swaddling cloths. Kristin was even able to get our four year old to genuinely smile for the pictures (she normally will give us a goofy smile) and when our four year old was getting restless Kristin gave her little jobs that made our daughter feel important. If you are considering newborn or family photos look no further, Kristin is the photographer for you! read more

I honestly can't say enough good things about her work! We signed up for a newborn photography session (our baby was 15 days old) and our photos turned out AMAZING. There were a few times where I was sure our little girl was going to lose it but Kristin knew the exact right thing to calm her down. I love her aesthetic and her eye for details. She got several close shots of things like her eyelashes and tiny feet, things that could have been so easily skipped over. For only a 45 minute session I was impressed with how many different looks/shots she was able to take. This woman is seriously talented at what she does. Plus her photo editing skills are the best I've seen. Her Instagram gives a good look behind the curtain at what she does. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for gorgeous newborn photos. read more

This our second times Kristin did our photo shoots. The first time when my daughter was 1 year old photo shoots and she have very serious eczema. Kristine was so good with her and make her smiles even when my daughter skin was irritated. Both times the pictures came out great and we love working with her. This I attached some of the photos there is much more prettier one but we using for Christmas card so we can't post it. Kristin is very professional, good with kids make them smiles for the photos, most importantly beautiful photos. read more

Kristin just returned photos from my recent maternity session (so fast) and they turned out better than I ever imagined. When my sister saw them she said "she captured the real you perfectly." I could not be happier! Kristin has a great eye and directed me in a way that I could follow easily to ensure the best possible result. I will definitely ask her to do our newborn photos once baby is here. Thank you Kristin, these are memories I will cherish forever. read more

So thankful to have come across Kristin's work and to have her capture our baby girl's newborn pictures! Her studio is so calm and clean. She did an amazing job coaxing smiles out of our 2 older boys, and also captured some beautiful family shots that we will treasure forever. read more

Kristin did an amazing job with our newborn photography shoot! It's very evident she has a lot of experience with newborns! We loved all of our photos! read more

We had the best experience working with Kristin! Her studio was the perfect environment to keep our little guy relaxed while she worked her magic. She was absolutely amazing at keeping the little guy calm and peaceful during the shoot. The pictures she captured are so incredible and we'll cherish them forever. Highly recommend!! read more

I used Kristin for our newborn and family photos and couldn't be happier! She had patience when dealing with a cranky newborn and managed to get the shot I really wanted. Thank you Kristin!!! I will definitely be back next year for our little guys one year photos. read more

I'm a little late writing this review but we are very happy with Kristin's work. She was so patient with our little guy and captured the most memorable moments for our family. First of all she was able to fit us in at the last minute in her schedule. We thought we didn't have a chance since many people book ahead before birth. My husband and I decided on pictures after he was born and was nice enough to get us in. Secondly as a first time mom...she made me feel so comfortable for the photo session. I thought our baby was going to be fuzzy and awake for the session but Kristin does he job well. She put our baby back to sleep by soothing him and creating a warm atmosphere. TG! We will be returning to her for more sessions...thank you once again Kristin! read more

Kristin Eldridge Photography - A little preview of her work with our baby. :) - Session Photography Near Me - Long Beach, California

JUST WOW!!!!! Kristin is a miracle worker!! I hired her from afar(Chicago!)to see if she could possibly get my rather shy and serious CSULB senior son to smile for at least a picture or two out of the mini shoot(20)for which I hired her. Oh my gosh!! Every picture is a keeper! I have never seen Scott look happier, or more relaxed! I am over the moon thrilled! Kristin is extremely easy to work with. We did the payment through Zelle which was super simple and easy. She also kept in constant email contact with me throughout our entire business relationship. Kristin is an incredibly professional photographer, and a gifted one, I might add! I can't wait to get Scott's graduation announcements printed up and sent out with these fabulous photos!! Thank you Kristin! read more

Kristin is so nice and made our maternity photo shoot so easy and fun. Better yet the photos came out beautifully! Can't wait to take newborn and future family photos with her. read more

Kristin is not only a newborn whisperer, but also has an incredible rapport with toddlers. I've never seen my 2.5 year old smile as big as she did for both the sibling and family photos. Kristin's studio is perfect with a ton of natural light, neutral furniture, and tons of props. Her newborn photography skills are incredible; despite multiple poses and wrapping and unwrapping, our 3 week older never woke up until the very end when she was ready to feed again. She also fit us in at last minute, and gave us a link with the photos only 4 days later. I'm so thankful we found her! read more

We contacted Kristin on short notice to photograph our new baby and family. She was incredibly responsive and put my mind at ease immediately. With all of the chaos after having a baby, I was very happy and thankful to just show up and use one of the dresses she had on hand. I am otherwise the type of person that would have spent 100 hours searching for the perfect thing and some or many tears would have been shed in the process. She was an absolute dream to work with and really worked her magic on our less than cooperative toddler (using every trick up her sleeve and surprises in her arsenal) and her warm studio ensured our newborn remained the perfect sleepy subject. We look forward to working with Kristin again! read more

Kristin is excellent at her craft. She captured my two boys as newborns during a mini shoot many years ago and I still cherish those photos. I chose to use her this year for our family photos. She did an amazing job capturing my family in a more natural and less staged way. I would definitely choose her again and would recommend her to a friend. read more

Words can't express how great Kristin Eldridge Photography is. Kristin is the only photographer I go to for shots of my little one; who is squirmy and hard to sit still. Kristin is very intimate and sweet! She captures the best shots. Her turn around rate is very fast and I recommend her to anyone who wants great shots. read more

Kristin took our family photos this year. Our kids enjoyed taking pictures for the first time! The mini session was the perfect amount of time. The location provided a gorgeous backdrop. We had our digital files within a week. Wwe were happy with all of the pictures she took, including individual shots of the kids, as well as family photos. read more

My partner and I were referred to Kristin by a cousin after we received her adorable birth announcement. As a camera-shy person, I am so glad we found her. Like a skilled nurse who takes your blood without you even realizing the needle went in, Kristin immediately puts you completely at ease with her kind demeanor and professionalism. I felt very welcome in her studio. The turnaround time was quick, she was very responsive so booking a session with her was a breeze. Our photos turned out great and I am very excited to book with her again once the baby is here. If you are contemplating photographers, consider your search done. She is the one! read more

I found Kristin last minute on Yelp for newborn photos and I'm so happy she had time available! She has magic hands with our baby, I learned some soothing tips from her just by watching her work with him. The photos came out so freaking cute!! And her location is the perfect setup for photos...we love the pics, thank you! read more

We are so happy we found Kristin to do our first newborn shoot with our baby boy. She not only has a creative eye and can set up and capture beautiful shots, but we've also dubbed her the Baby Whisperer, for her amazing ability to make our son comfortable and soothe him if needed. It was great that she had a wide array of baby swaddles, bonnets and different backgrounds at her studio which made for great diversity in the photos. We also did a few family photos, which came out beautifully. She turned around the photos very quickly, and we're so happy with the final product. Kristin was very professional, friendly and of course talented at her craft. If we have another baby in the future, we'll definitely be giving her a call again! read more

I am so thrilled with how our photos with Kristin turned out. On top of that, she actually had my kids laughing and smiling the ENTIRE time. If you knew my kids, you would understand what a feat this is (especially my daughter, who at our last session with a different photographer, decided to make faces as if she were in physical pain). Thanks for the great session, Kristin! Highly recommend! read more

Kristin is wonderful! We did newborn pictures and she was so great with ideas, setting things up and moving along swiftly so the little one didn't have a meltdown. We love our photos and will cherish them the rest of our live. After you meet you, you feel like family! read more

Kristin is AMAZING! After searching for the perfect photographer to shoot our newborn son, we went with her and couldn't be more happy. She was so professional, sweet, kind and gentle with our little baby boy. The pictures turned out amazing, more than perfect and we couldn't be more happy to share with our family and friends. We will cherish these photos forever. We cannot wait for her to shoot our family again! read more

Kristin did my son's newborn photos and some pictures for my daughter's second birthday. They are simply beautiful and the light is absolutely gorgeous. My favorite thing about the photos is how my daughter's personality shows through. Kristin is really great at working with kids. My daughter had a great time working with her. My son's newborn pics are adorable too. Kristin's studio is bright, clean and the perfect setting to highlight all the gorgeous little details that I love about newborn photography. She captured all the funny little expressions he makes while he's sleeping and even caught some shots of him with his eyes open. The pictures of our family are also beautiful. It's rare that we get a shot with everyone looking the right way and smiling and Kristin captured several. Setting up the session with Kristin was super easy and her pricing is very affordable. She was also super flexible in letting me maximize our time during the newborn shoot by taking some photos of my daughter for her upcoming 2nd birthday as well. I had reached out to a few photographers in the area and no one was willing to let me do this - which was a huge help considering I have a newborn at home! I would recommend Kristin to all my friends and hope to use her talents again for future photos of my family! read more

We used Kristin for the mini holiday shoot last month and absolutely loved working with her. Not only are the pictures absolutely gorgeous (I just had a baby and was sure I was going to hate the way I looked but she really worked some magic and they are stunning!) but she is incredibly easy to work with. Kristin is professional, flexible and fun. Our 2 year old can be quite stone faced with new people but she opened up super quickly with Kristin and we got some gorgeous pictures of her smiling!! Honestly, I cannot say enough good things about her and her work. We will definitely plan to use her in the future. Thanks again, Kristin! read more

I had been looking around OC to find a newborn photographer and I came across Kristin's website/yelp page. So glad I did! She was quick to respond to my inquires, her website was straight forward, payment methods were simple, great price, her studio was super cute, and best of all, she was amazing! Her personality really allows for the family to open up and feel comfortable during the shoot and she's amazing with kids. My older daughter takes a while to warm up and we were having a difficult time getting her to smile, but Kristin was ready and had a few tricks up her sleeve. Not to mention, she was quick to get the photos to us and the website/link that she uses is super easy to share with loved ones and as long as they have the pin, they can download them too! Our overall experience with Kristin was great! I would highly recommend her! read more

Amazing work! This is the second time my family has worked with Kristin for family and newborn photos and I am once again beyond happy with the results. Kristin is so good at what she does and really knows how to work with children. We will continue to come to her for future family photos! read more

Kristin is an amazing photographer! She was originally booked for her mini session but she was able to add me into her busy schedule. She was quick to respond, which I really appreciate. During our photo session, she was great! Super nice, fun and professional. We had a 4 month old who was very tired and she brought props to make him smile & laugh...and it worked! We got some great photos. After the shoot we got our photos in less than a week. Usually photographers take weeks and weeks to edit but Kristin was done in less than a week! We are very happy with our photos and can't say enough great things about her and her talent. Excited to work with her in the years to come! Thank you Kristin!! read more

Kristin did an amazing job, this is the 3rd time in 10 years working with her. And we're beyond pleased with all 3 of our babies pictures. She has a lot patience and experience with newborns. We would totally recommend to anyone considering going with her. read more

Kristin is nothing less than professional! She comes off very comfortable and calming in her confidence. She was very sweet with my 7mo old Baby boy and we got lots of good shots out of him, even despite him being a little shy that day. I decided to reach out to Kristin because I was unsatisfied with the quality of the photos I purchased from JC Penny (blurry). Kristin was easy to schedule with, and rescheduled due to the rain. She has outdoor and indoor studio options. I look forward to working with Kristin again in the future! read more

Kristin was wonderful! My 1 year old son is not the one to smile for the camera but she was so good with him and he was beaming throughout the whole photo shoot! I walked away with so many great pictures and they are beautiful! She is a natural with kids and the camera-a true professional. I will definitely see her soon again for the next milestone. read more

I am so glad I stumbled upon Kristin while frantically trying to find a newborn photographer last minute. She was able to get my family in to do our newborn photography within just a couple of days of reaching out to her! She was super accommodating, very sweet and pleasant to work with, yet still professional. Most importantly she was GREAT at handling our toddler (who is usually wild and is in the phase of saying "no" to everyone/ everything) and getting him to cooperate for all the photos! Our toddler ended up calling her "auntie" because she was super caring and sweet in how she was interacting with him :) I was so appreciative of that as he was then smiling for all the photos and none of the photos disappointed. I loved how all of our photos came out, they are so beautiful and aesthetically pleasing to look at. I definitely will be keeping her in mind for future photo events! Definitely highly recommend Kristin, it will not be a disappointment! read more

Kristin took our newborn photos and we love the photos so much! There are so many cute and adorable ones. She was so kind, patient, and great with my kids. Kristin convinced my daughter to join us in the photos, smile/laugh, and warmed up to Kristin. We are really glad we went with Kristin for our newborn photos. She has a fast turnaround time for the photos too. We highly recommend Kristin! read more

When we were looking for a newborn photographer for our second son, we found Kristin on Yelp. Her pictures of the baby were so precious, and she did a wonderful job incorporating our high-energy four-year-old, too. These pictures are true keepsakes. We loved them so much we went back for the baby's one year pictures. He wasn't super cooperative, but Kristin didn't lose her cool, and again, the pictures are wonderful! I just love them, and the whole experience is really stress free. read more

We had Kristin take newborn photos for us when our son was about 2 weeks old. We were nervous about him staying calm for the shoot, and she immediately made us feel at ease. She is great at what she does - we were amazed at how well she was able to pose such a tiny baby! She is super friendly, accommodating, and of course, talented! Every single photo was beautiful, and we loved all of them. Very glad we worked with Kristin and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a good newborn photographer! read more

Kristin is extremely talented and captured our family beautifully. She connected with our children quickly and brought out their personalities perfectly. I highly recommend Kristin! read more

Kristin was such a gem to work with from start to finish. I was referred by a good friend and I'm so thankful she did. Kristin was accommodating, helpful and was so sweet. But besides how awesome she is, her photos are amazing. She captured such beautiful moments of my family and my little one. Thank you Kristin again for being so wonderful and for the awesome photos. read more
