I rarely like photos of myself but loved the finished product! It was incredible that such a brief, easy 30-min session (and one booked last minute besides!) could yield so many amazing shots (that were delivered within days! I did the rush option). Not only were the photos spectacular, Hilary was also just truly such a joy to be around during the shoot - can't wait to recommend her to everyone I know looking for a photographer!!

We've had annual family photo sessions with Hilary for the past five years (and even two sessions…read morein one year!), and she has been phenomenal every single time. She's wonderful with our kids--whether it was a newborn, a fussy toddler, or now more cooperative school-aged kids, she's been able to capture beautiful moments through every stage. One year my younger daughter was especially shy and grumpy about photos, but you'd never know it from the gorgeous images Hilary delivered. She's also great with pets and even got our dog to "smile" at the camera for a few shots this year! We included my parents in a session one year, and Hilary handled the larger family group seamlessly. She also has a great eye for locations, whether it's a tried-and-true spot or somewhere new, and she always makes the most of the setting. On top of that, her pricing is very reasonable, especially since you get to keep all the images from your session, and she's always prompt with delivery. Hilary makes family photos stress-free and fun, and the results are consistently stunning--we look forward to working with her every year.

The photos I received were so nice, flattering, professional and exactly what I had wanted. I truly had a difficult time choosing my final selection.

Jessie held the whole thing with such steady presence that the uncertainty dissolved quickly. She asked the right questions, created real ease in the space, and then got out of the way and let the session breathe. The editing is exceptional. The final images are honest and alive, not overproduced. They look like me on my best day, which is exactly what this kind of work requires. If you are a founder, practitioner, or creative who needs photographs that actually carry your essence, Jessie is the real thing.

I actually found Jennifer after searching online for photographers in San Francisco and her work immediately stood out. Her style felt fresh and unconventional -- more documentary and journalistic than traditional -- and I especially loved her use of black and white photography, which was a big reason we chose her. The day started at our hotel, where she jumped between our separate rooms to capture my wife and me getting ready. Before she had even gotten to our rooms, she had already scouted the perfect location for our first look. The moment was absolutely incredible, and she handled everything; we didn't have to do a thing but follow her lead. That professional confidence continued at City Hall. She has a masterful familiarity with the building. She took full control of the shoot, guiding us as she told us exactly where to stand, how to pose, and where to move next so we could just relax and enjoy the moment. As a photographer myself, I really appreciated her confidence and professionalism. All we had to do was follow instructions and be present. She knows San Francisco City Hall inside and out -- the lighting, the angles, the timing, and the key locations that truly matter -- every shot felt deliberate and it showed. The technical skill here is top-notch-- the compositions were beautiful, the balance of each frame was spot-on, and her gorgeous color grading. We received around 300 images, and the quality is so consistent that I plan to print every last one of them in large format to ensure we have a permanent physical archive. When we received the final package, we were so touched -- she sent our photos on a beautiful USB drive along with printed images, some sweets, and other thoughtful details. It was the perfect finishing touch to a genuinely wonderful experience. If you're getting married at City Hall -- or anywhere in San Francisco -- Jennifer Michelson / A Girl and a Camera is exceptional. Thank you Jennifer! Laura and Junior.

Laurie made the session relaxed and fun--I was laughing most of the time. That makes for some good headshots. Better yet, I wanted some outdoor shots for my website, and Laurie was not only willing, but enthusiastic about hiking up Mt. Tam to get some good views. The resulting photos are wonderful, natural, and relaxed--which is amazing to see because in reality it was freezing out because the fog was coming in. But I was having so much fun with the outdoor session that it did not phase me, nor my facial expressions.

We chatted on the phone first to discuss what I needed. Laurie listened carefully, asked questions about my vision and had great suggestions. Right before the shoot, she had tips about hair, make-up and clothing that were very helpful since I was doing this on my own. At the shoot, Laurie helped me feel relaxed and made sure I was comfortable when I posed for a shot. She tried a couple of different spots within the area we were at to see how the architectural details and lighting would play out. She believes that part of the process is to explore and play around to see what might work best, which I completely agreed with. I only needed 1 but walked away with a couple great portraits that I can now proudly use in my work life. Laurie was very professional and responsive, and amazingly personable, fun and easy-going at the same time. This is a winning combination for me so if it sounds the same to you, then you'll love working with her.
