KRISTIN IS THE BEST!!! She has been photographing our family for over 10 years now and we just love her work so much that we've never gone anywhere else. We have enjoyed everything from newborn sessions to large, multi-generational family photos on location. We are not a family that loves to sit for photos...but Kristin always makes us feel relaxed and at ease. She is kind and patient and very good at creating a comfortable rapport before she begins shooting. Her photos are beautiful and I'm so thankful to have them as permanent keepsakes of our family's history. She is simply the best!!! read more

Kristin has taken photos for us 3 times now and she truly has a gift with children. She works her magic and gets them to smile, and has endless patience even when they are a little cranky. Her photos are worth every penny. We love working with her! read more

We love, LOVE the photos of our baby girl. Kristin was able to get so many different looks during the newborn-only package we booked. We love that her photos gently posed but natural and light, giving a soft, natural look. We booked her last minute and she was flexible, professional and so talented...ready with all the swaddles and accessories you need but open to something special you may bring. The photos came ahead of schedule and there were more than expected. They turned out so beautiful. I highly recommend Kristin! read more

Kristin's work is unbelievable. She is soooo talented! She has photographed my daughters numerous times and each time we have been so pleased with her work. She manages to capture their expressions so perfectly. The lighting is always AMAZING! I really don't know how she does it. Kristin has photographed both my children since birth and we will continue to use her through each phase of their lives. She has also taken beautiful family photos. Not only is Kristin's photography incredible, she is also so sweet. She makes everyone feel so comfortable and really knows how to bring out the best in children. My daughter is very shy but Kristin manages to bring her out of her shell, yet still capture her sweet, natural expressions. I just can't say enough about Kristin and her beautiful photography. SO happy to have met her! read more

I contacted Kristin after finding her online and booked a session within a few days for a newborn session. Her studio was so cute and perfect. She was very professional, down to earth, easy to communicate with, and did such an amazing job on our photos. She had a lot of wraps, props to choose from and had such a great vision for our son's photos. Will definitely do more family pictures with her! read more

WOW! Wonderful experience with the most beautiful results. Thank you for capturing our sweet baby so beautifully. We will treasure these photos forever and look forward to working with you again! read more

We initially asked Kristin to do our son's 1 Year photo shoot 3 years ago and she was amazing then. We're not the type of family who likes to pose for cameras so she allowed us to be ourselves and just took natural photos that turned out great. Fast forward 3 years and we asked her to photograph our newborn and do sibling pictures in her studio. She was super patient with both our newborn and our toddler son. Although the session took longer than expected, Kristin never rushed us and even fed my hungry toddler snacks! We couldn't be happier with the photos! Her price is very reasonable as well! read more

We loved Kristin! She managed to keep my two toddler boys happy and engaged in the photo session which is hard to do. She was so patient with my newborn who took a lot of calming to get to sleep during the session. We can hardly wait until our next session. Not only are her photos amazing, but she is super enjoyable to be around! read more

I actually found Kristin by Googling for a photographer in the Los Angeles area that did mini-sessions. I loved the photos on her website and the fact that she had a variety of settings to choose from so I was really excited for our photo shoot. I also have to mention that I have a two-year old and a four-year old. So capturing them when they are both looking at the camera, not to mention smiling, is something that I can rarely do myself. :) All of that to say, that Kristen exceeded my expectations! She was able to get a LOT of great shots and we loved all them. She's friendly, approachable, and professional. She was patient with my kids and was willing to chase them all over to get the cutest photos of them (and yes she got some of them both smiling). I CAN NOT overemphasize how happy our family is with our photos. Kristin is now one of my go to photographers and I can't wait to til our next photo session! read more

Kristin took our newborn and family pictures and we absolutely loved the photos! She took necessary covid-19 precautions (washing hands repeatedly, wearing mask, offering to wear gloves, etc.) to make the photography session feel safe. My husband and I call Kristin the "baby whisperer" because she was able to calm our newborn down and take amazing photos of him. We really look forward to working with her again for future photography sessions. read more

We chose to have Kristen to take our newborn photos. The overall experience and photos were fabulous! Kristen is super easy and flexible to work with. The shoot itself was a breeze. Kristen is amazing with babies and pays attention to all the right details. We are extremely happy with the photos! read more

I was searching online for a family photographer and Kristin was the first to pop up. I immediately fell in love with her work and booking was a breeze. She responded back to me within hours and was able to squeeze us in the same week. She was very detailed with her packages and follow up info prior to our photo shoot date. The day of our session, it was a raining & my boys were having such a bad morning. i was all over the place trying to calm them down and make sure that they were at least decent looking at this point ‍ lol we arrived about 7 minutes late but Kristin was so welcoming. Beautiful set up, with wraps provided ranging from the prettiest soft pinks to neutral tones. My 2nd son was not cooperating at all in the beginning but Kristin was sooo patient and playful. He warmed up to her and the studio and got some good shots in. I love how our pics came out. Highly recommend her to all families. Thank you Kristin! read more

I did both maternity photos and newborn photos with Kristin and I had more than great experiences. Both photos were e-mailed to me very quickly and photos came out amazing. We received so many positive comments from friends and family also. Before all the photos were e-mailed to me, she sent me sneak peak photos to view within a few days. Kristin is very personable, sweet and very patient. We did maternity photo at Marina Del Rey but she did not hesitate to drive that far from Long Beach. She knew how to make both my husband and I have natural smile for the photos and she knew where to take photos for great lightings. Some places were muddy but she didn't even hesitate to get her shoes dirty to get our perfect photos. We did newborn photos at her studio and my newborn needed multiple feeding time to cooperate for photos but Kristin was so patient, waiting for me to finish feeding him and she even burped him until he was in perfect condition for the photos. She just knew how to handle newborns. She has very cozy cute studio, perfect for newborn photos. She put the heater on even on a warm day to make sure naked newborn wasn't cold during photo shoot. She has many many wraps, hats, basket, etc. for newborn and perfect setup for the newborn with different backgrounds. We also brought our dog to shoot a photo with our newborn and Kristin was very patient with our dog as well and we got our perfect photos of them together. I would definitely ask her to do any of our future family or newborn photos! I highly recommend her. read more

This is our 2nd year using Kristin for our holiday family photos, and it was again a wonderful experience from beginning to end! First and foremost she is an amazing photographer. She works with you to make sure you get the photos that you envisioned and has a creative eye when posing her clients for photos. I've worked with photographers in the past where they've only taken photos with one background in mind, but Kristin was great about moving within the location to have different backdrops. She is also great with kids! My two girls were instantly at ease when they met her last year and were looking forward to seeing her again this year. This definitely came through in the photos because I absolutely love the individual photos that she took of them. She has a variety of booking dates and the process was very easy and convenient. You receive all the digital files within about a week! Kristin was a dream to work with, and I would highly recommend the investment as I will cherish the photos for years to come. read more

Kristin did our Newborn/Family photoshoot a couple of weeks ago. We couldn't be happier with our images- not just of our newborn daughter, but of her and her brother, and our family shots as well. We will cherish those images forever! We were also blown away with her ability to keep our 2.5 year old engaged, happy, and smiling for our 2 hour photoshoot. We can't wait to have her photograph our family again! read more

We had a great experience working with Kristin for our 1-year old, and were thrilled with the magical photographs she whipped up in a 1-hour outdoor mini-session at a local park. Our original planned date was rained out, and Kristin was very accommodating in providing us another date at our convenience. My fiancee had some props and themes in mind, and Kristin was great at listening to those ideas, working with them, and incorporating elements into her shots. She was really fun to work with, and her pleasant and warm demeanor helped create smiles-on-demand from our little one. You will be most impressed by her superhuman ability to tickle a kid's belly while sprinting backwards, frame and fire off a series of shots in quick succession. A handful of sneak previews were available within two days, full set within a week. Great value and a wonderful experience from a very talented professional. read more

Kristin was an exceptional photographer. My son came a few weeks early and she was so accommodating and was able to fit us into her schedule on such short notice. She was very communicative and made the process very smooth. She was extremely pleasant and worked wonders with my newborn and my two year old. She managed to make my two year old laugh in every photo and was so soothing and calming with my newborn. She was outstanding and so patient throughout the whole session. Her pricing is very reasonable and she sent our photos in such a timely manner, I was shocked. The photos were perfect! I would definitely recommend her to everyone! read more

She was fantastic! Did our family photos for son's first year birthday. Really happy with the results and so easy to work with her :)

I found Kristin through Yelp as a surprise for my parents to take photos with my 4 month old daughter. I loved the photos I saw online (as well as all the raving reviews on Yelp)...and boy, she did not disappoint! She made everything so easy from start to finish. Kristin is professional, sweet, kind and worked so well with my parents and daughter, despite the fact that my daughter was not in the best of moods at the time. In fact, I was so impressed with Kristin's work that I booked her a second time for a family photo shoot a few weeks later. I was so worried that she was not able to get photos of my daughter smiling but when the final shots came in, I had plenty to choose from. If I hadn't moved out of state, I would have definitely used Kristin again! read more

Kristin has been our family photographer for about 10 years. She has a wonderful way of getting my kids to smile and come together for beautiful family photos. It is not easy to get everyone to cooperate and dress up, but because we have known Kristin for so long, my boys joyfully comply. I highly recommend Kristin! read more

Kristin did our Newborn pictures for our less than 2 week old daughter. We had such a great experience with Kristin. She was so skilled and gentle at maneuvering our baby around to position her for each photo. Our daughter was calm and relaxed throughout the whole 2 hour session. Kristin had all the wraps and head bands for our little girl. She had our pictures all ready for us to download within a week. The pictures were so beautiful! We will treasure them always. We were so pleased with the entire experience. We will definitely return to Kristin for other family pictures and highly recommend her to anyone needing a quality photographer. read more

Kristin Eldridge Photography - Kristin was amazing at capturing our newborn's facial expressions and positioning her to create such beautiful pictures! - Session Photography Near Me - Long Beach, California

Kristin did an amazing job on our Christmas family mini session. She was so good with my three kids and kept my 4 year old fully entertained and happy during our photo session. The pictures came out beautiful and she gave them to us 2 days later so that I could use them for our Christmas cards and get them to everyone by Christmas. Thank you Kristin for doing such a great job on our Christmas photos! read more

We had taken in home newborn pictures with our regular photographer but my toddler does better during outdoor sessions and had a huge meltdown. Not knowing what those photos look like (I'm sure we got some good ones) I looked for a studio option. I love that Kristin's studio uses natural light and is a home studio. She was able to schedule us last minute given the time sensitive nature of newborn photos. The session was great. Studio was nice and warm for baby. And she was patient and creative with my 18 month old. Photos were edited and delivered super quick. Will definitely consider using Kristin for family photos in the future. read more

Kristin was amazing from booking the shoot to receiving our photos. She's so personable, easy going, professional, sweet, and most of all she's such an expert at what she does which I'm so grateful for. She captures the most beautiful moments and does it all so effortlessly. read more

We used Kristin for our newborn photos for our first baby. We went to her beautiful studio in Long Beach and she had everything you could need to get beautiful shots. I really appreciated not having to bring anything for my baby, it made it a lot easier. The pictures she captured of our baby and family are ones I will treasure my whole life. I cried when I saw them they were so beautiful. We will absolutely use her for future family photos. read more

Absolutely amazing! Did all the poses we wanted in 20 minutes and they turned out so great despite crazy wind and 2 crazy kids. Thank you thank you thank you!!!! read more

I chose Kristin after a quick Google/Yelp search for a local photographer experienced with children and maternity sessions. She was quick to respond to all my questions and had great suggestions for the location. She was so good with my 3 year old son and he took to her immediately! It was such an enjoyable experience. The images she got out of my son well he just stole the show which is how I think any parent would want it! I liked that she was great at giving direction and I felt beautiful in my maternity photos. read more

We had an amazing experience with Kristen. She was super friendly and responsive via email, really accommodating in scheduling and very professional (and sweet) during the shoot. She's also a total baby-whisperer with newborns. We were more than pleased with the turnaround time for the pictures and the shots that she got with our newborn and 2 toddlers. She really has a way of capturing those giggles!! I'd recommend Kristen in a heartbeat! read more

We've worked with Kristin 3 times now and we can't recommend her enough! She was professional, creative, and just so, so good with our boys. We did two newborn shoots with her and she was so patient with our little one who just would not sleep. Being a mom herself, she was so understanding and had tricks up her sleeve to calm him and also make our toddler smile and giggle. She improvised and found ways to capture incredible photos. Kristin is great at communication, and works quickly to get your photos to you in a timely manner. We've only had positive interactions with her and are so happy with our photos every time. read more

Kristin did our newborn daughter's photos and they turned out beautifully! We were very impressed working with Kristin from the beginning. She is extremely professional, has a beautiful studio, and a real talent for working with kids. Scheduling with Kristin was very easy, which is great when dealing with a new baby and the prices are very affordable for new parents. I was sure our daughter would have a meltdown the entire time we were at the studio since she is a pretty fussy baby. However, Kristin was absolutely perfect in handling her and sweet girl didn't wake up until the very end of our session. I told Kristin I wanted to take her home with us to soothe our fussy princess. We got to use every prop and outfit we wanted, and even had time remaining for "fun let's see how this turns out" photos. We will definitely keep Kristin in mind for the future for family photos! read more

We did a newborn session with Kristin and we love how the photos turned out. We will cherish them forever. I wasn't sure if our toddler would cooperate but she was able to get him smiling for just about every photo. She was also prepared with toys to keep him entertained. Kristin is super nice, accommodating and talented. We're so glad we found her. Her pricing is very reasonable too and includes all the photos. read more

We hired Kristin to shoot a family portrait session during our trip to California from Texas. From the beginning she communicated well and provided everything we needed to make a hiring decision quickly. And we're glad we did. She helped us scout different locations and was very open to our ideas. On the day of the shoot, she texted to let us know her status and confirm arrival time. The shoot went great! She brought marshmallows for the kids and a small stuffy animal to get he kids smiling. My son is hard to win over and she just nailed it. As far as the final product, we were completely satisfied and impressed! Lover her work and appreciate her professionalism and creativity. We highly recommend Kristin. read more

A year later and I guess I didn't save my photos properly. I went to print a couple and couldn't find them anywhere! I emailed Kristin and an hour later she had already resent them. That is an example of outstanding customer service! read more

I was lucky enough to to meet Kristin outside of a children's store I shopped at when my kids were babies. She is absolutely incredible! She makes the photo shoots so easy and fun and captures the most beautiful moments.

Kristin has taken photos of our children and family for the last 4 years and we have been thrilled with the pictures every single time! She has a magical way of capturing the essence of our son and daughters personalities and looks with artistic, fun and even beautiful settings as backdrops. She is wonderful with the kids, and I love that she accomplishes her goal of getting the best shots while also working with the children and their ability to stay focused and interact. She engages them and makes it so fun that they almost forget they are getting their picture taken. Kristin is extremely kind, fun and sweet...and she is also extremely professional. I love the pictures she has given us over the years- they are treasures! If you have an opportunity to hire Kristin as your photographer you will definitely not be disappointed!!! read more
