We felt right at home as soon as we stepped stepped into her studio. Our daughter loved it! Jen was great at keeping her calm by singing to her, and letting her play and explore. The photos are stunning. Very casual and great candids - just the right amount of direction to get the perfect shot. We just took photos for our daughter's 2nd birthday, and once again the experience and photos were beautiful. I sincerely hope that Jen will be able to take out family photos for years to come. Book with Sweet Born Photography. You won't be disappointed!

All we can say is Wow. Jennifer at SweetBorn photography is incredibly talented, and extremely easy…read moreto work with. We used SweetBorn for our newborn son's first photo shoot, and couldn't be happier with the results. She has an amazing setup in Brooklyn, and makes you feel like home, during the shoot. Unlike other photographers who tend to only capture a few good ones here and there, every shot Jennifer took turned out wonderful! We can't say enough good things about her service -- from initial inquiry to post production. She really cares about her work, and wants to ensure you are completely satisfied with the results. If we're fortunate enough in the near future, we will definitely be using SweetBorn again!

We hired Cheyanna for our April wedding in Saratoga Springs, NY. I had come across her work on…read moreInstagram and very quickly knew that there was no one else I'd rather capture this special time in our lives! From our engagement shoot a year prior to our wedding to the weekend of, we knew we were in the very best hands. My now husband and I are pretty camera shy and hugely appreciated Cheyanna's hands-on direction, her efforts to make us feel comfortable, and her overall fun, easy-going affect. For me personally, I can't imagine my wedding day without Cheyanna. I already knew that I loved her photography and that she would beautifully capture the day, but she went above and beyond that. She was so kind, supportive, and really was a much-needed calming presence for me throughout the day. Not only did I feel taken care of, I for once felt beautiful and confident, which meant more to me that I can attempt to put into words. Cheyanna's second shooter for the day, Jordan, was also fantastic and per my husband, helped to make the photography more fun. They made for a great duo! We are beyond obsessed with the sneak peeks that Cheyanna sent us (which she sent so quickly!) and are counting the days until we get to see the rest of the memories she captured. Cheyanna, thank you for everything.

We found Cheyanna through Instagram and were instantly drawn to her work! It was romantic,…read morewhimsical, and more natural than other photographers we had seen! We booked her for our December 2020 Wedding and it was such a pleasure working through all the details and timelines with her! The package included engagement photos which was such a nice way to get acquainted with each other prior to our wedding day. We ultimately needed to cancel our reception due to Covid-19.Cheyanna was flexible, understanding and provided great recommendations for hosting just the ceremony. Let me tell you, our photos ARE ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! She blew us away! Friends and family cannot stop raving about them as well! Cheyanna was so great to have with us on the day, she was a calming force on what can be a bit of a hectic day! We also got a sneak peak the day after our wedding to hold us over until the full gallery was ready! We can't recommend her more so go book with her!

This past fall, my fiance and I had the pleasure of working with Liza for our engagement photo…read moreshoot. While neither of us had been photographed in this personal fashion before, Liza's warmth and ease behind the camera (and with us) ensured that our photos came out easy, natural, and beautiful. Our photo shoot happened to be in Dumbo on an extremely busy fall Saturday in NYC. Liza had scoped out the best locations for our shoot, and scrambled in and out of foot (and car!) traffic to take stunning portraits that made it look like we were the only ones around. Not an easy feat given how packed it was! I cannot recommend Liza more - her eye for composition and capturing the depth / personality of intimate moments sets her apart. I urge you to review her portfolio and see for yourself the incredible time capsules she has created of her children and clients... words can't do her justice and once you take a peek, you'll need to look no more.

Liza came out for a session with our family in Connecticut, and she was wonderful to work with!…read more Great with both of our kids, incredibly efficient, and very flexible with coordinating details.

I feel very lucky to have found Sabina before she rockets into what will be a most stellar career…read more I found myself in need of a photographer for our small civil ceremony back in my hometown of SLO (okay, Atascadero, so shoot me). Being addicted to all things internet, I perused Yelp and Craigslist and found just a handful of postings that seemed credible. I emailed a few and greatly appreciated Sabina's prompt, courteous and informative reply. (Not to mention her online portfolio that showed a creative eye for photography and not a single cliched or cheesy shot.) With only a few descriptive emails back and forth (and not a single meeting or phone call), my husband-to-be and I arrived at the County Clerk's office, met up with Sabina and walked right in for our marriage license and civil ceremony. She did an impeccable job of capturing special moments and expressions in a rather drab county office and extremely small government 'chapel', all the while making everyone feel at ease. And, even better, we then headed outside. Sabina had already scouted out three great spots within two blocks for little, mini-shoots (all-the-while staying away from the Mission where every other wedding photo in San Luis comes from). With each setting, she managed to create wonderful candid shots that were unique and perfect and just looked happy. For a two-hour shoot (and a very reasonable price), we were so happy with what Sabina captured. Given our rather nontraditional wedding, I'm very glad that we'll have these photos and memories to keep. Sabina absolutely understood--and improved on--what I'd described in our email exchanges. And, the full suite of images was uploaded to an online album in less than a week. I would recommend Sabina without reservation. Her professionalism and attention to detail belie her young age and her talent, efficiency and creative eye all trump it all.

It has been such a joy working with Sabina and watching her art metamorphose over the past few…read moreyears that I've known her. Sabina's professionalism and passion for her work as a photographer and graphic artist emanate from each picture. An especially admirable quality, is Sabina's willingness and zeal for thinking and literally seeing outside the box. Our most recent photo shoot was quite an adventure, climbing wild oaks, swimming through seas of ivy, and finding our way through barbed wire fences to reach a glorious field of yellow mustard plant. Sabina is truly a one of a kind artist and her work is absolutely transcendent. You will find no other photos like hers and no sweeter or more genuine artist. Thank you so much Sabina! Looking forward to our next shoot!

Bethany is the best -- professional, talented, and innovative! Her photos are incredibly beautiful…read more-- from posed shots to beautiful moments of intimacy to dynamic dance floor snaps. She made our wedding day extra special by capturing all the special people in our life in a way that didn't feel clichéd and that made sure that everyone had fun. Her high energy and even keel also helped to keep our wedding day on schedule. And she really is a gymnast -- climbing on precarious ledges and standing in the middle of the street -- all to get the perfect shot. We also really appreciated our engagement session with Bethany. We hadn't planned to do one, but were so glad we did so that we could get to know each other and practice posing. The day we scheduled ended up raining, but nevertheless, Bethany's shots were creative and beautifully lit. On top of all of this, Bethany is just a pleasure to know -- kind, funny, and genuine. I can't tell you the number of wedding guests who specifically commented to me that our photographer was the best that they'd encountered, and that her energy quickly made everyone feel at ease when posing. Bethany's photos perfectly captured the moods of each part of the day and we feel so lucky to have worked with her!

Bethany Bandera was the photographer for our wedding on May 21, 2011. Photography was my number…read moreone priority for my wedding day and it was the first item I confirmed & checked off my long "to do" list. This, however, was easy because I was familiar with Bethany's work from when I lived in Brooklyn. Bethany has an eye for the simple, yet beautiful moments that can take your breath away. In any given situation she has the quickness to be almost anywhere and everywhere when these moments take place. This would be important for my wedding because it was an intimate setting, but took place in a rather large backyard space. During the wedding ceremony, Bethany was like an invisible assassin- never seen but always around capturing the most amazing shots at interesting angles. During the photo session, her energy was high - she kept everyone laughing and smiling as she organized group portraits. Everyone remained relaxed and enjoyed themselves even though we had a timeline before the reception. This was reflected in our family photos. During the reception, Bethany captured all the festivities, our friends and family co-mingling, people dancing and kids playing together. She was everywhere at once. I had told her I wanted the day to be documented in photojournalism style. And that she did. After the wedding, when I received our photos I was so happy to relive the day but from a different perspective- from that of an attendee. With a soft lens and her own sweet intuition, Bethany didn't just take photos she really captured the "magical" feeling of the whole day. That was my number one priority. Done. I highly recommend Bethany Bandera for your wedding! She listened to everything I said I wanted and then... even surpassed my expectations! Top shelf results, light on her feet, personable, professional and organized... and of course, photographs that really are timeless. Check her out yourself!

Before the wedding, Anna talked to us about what we would want captured and what type of photos we were looking for. She and her assistant were everywhere the day of our wedding and truly captured the best moments of the day in the most intimate, artistic, and unique way. We could not believe how incredible the photographs were! They were absolute works of art and not one appeared staged. Everyone who saw my wedding photos raved about them. Anna's style is incredibly unique and she is someone you will want to work with again and again. Her rates are incredibly reasonable and in looking at her work, you can clearly see that she has a gift for capturing beauty. She is personable, meticulous, thorough, and ridiculously talented. I highly recommend Anna for anyone looking for a photographer. She is without question the best.
