Posting a follow-up as I've received direct messages from random Yelpers over the past few months…read morestating they had similar frustrations as me or asking about my concluding experience. After continued attempts to get a hold of Angela via phone and emails, I finally tried TEXTING Angela in November. I was happy to see a text response from her! but then baffled when I read her message. I've attempted to post screenshots of the text exchange but it appears only a portion is posting. In summary, Angela stated she felt she was harassed by me and would not respond to my bullying tactics. Again, I was dumbfounded. Ultimately, she refused to return our $100 deposit and went silent on us again. In hindsight, I should have noticed that most of the Yelp reviews are over a year old. I don't see any recent reviews which should have been a red flag. I hope Angela is able to improve her operations and customer experience as she is clearly talented at taking beautiful photos.

Angela came highly recommended by my sister-in-law as she went with Angela for all three of her…read morechildren's newborn photoshoot. For the newborn photoshoot, we spent the full four hours in Angela's studio, which allowed me, a first time mom, to really enjoy the process. Angela took great care of us every step of the way, from making sure the baby is comfortable during the naked baby pictures, to making sure mom and dad look ready and stress-free for the family pictures. I'm extremely happy with how the pictures turned out and the grandparents are so in love with all the pictures. If you're on the fence about doing a newborn photoshoot, please do it and go with Angela!

My fiancé and I loved working with Stephanie for a surprise proposal video and photoshoot…read more 1. She was very communicative and helpful throughout the whole process. From receiving the quote all the way to the finalization of the gallery, she never stopped answering questions and always had recommendations to make everything better and smoother. 2. She had fun energy and made the photoshoot enjoyable and memorable. Both my fiancé and I are introverted people that don't really take a lot of pictures. However, working with Stephanie was such an easy and relaxed experience. 3. She does her research and it shows. She is based in LA / OC County, I did request her to come out to Northern San Diego County. I had chosen one spot for the proposal. She came back to me and asked if we would also like to take pictures at another spot a few miles away. So while we originally only had one place to take pictures, we ended up taking pictures at two different places that were both great. 4. The photos came out amazing. The entire galley of photos she had were amazing and we wish we could have kept them all. The hardest part about the entire process were narrowing down our favorite photos in the galley. 10/10 Would Take More Pictures with Stephanie

Stephanie is very professional. Thank you for the photos and it was a pleasure to work with you!read more

Hiring Ellie as our wedding photographer was the best decision I made while planning my wedding!…read moreEllie is so sweet and made us feel extremely comfortable while taking photos. My husband and I never know how to pose for photos, but at our request, Ellie provided detailed instructions for recreating the poses I wanted to capture on our wedding day. I recommend Ellie to anyone who will be your biggest cheerleader the day of your wedding and capture the loving, romantic mood of the day.

We recently had Sarah capture our son's six-month milestone photos, and I couldn't be more thrilled…read morewith the entire experience. From the moment we arrived, she made us feel completely at ease. Working with a baby can be unpredictable, but Sarah was so patient, playful, and attentive--managing to capture every sweet expression and little detail that makes this stage so special. My son adored her & responded so well to her. The photos are absolutely stunning--beautifully lit, thoughtfully composed, and full of personality. Each image feels like a work of art that we'll treasure forever. It's rare to find someone who is not only talented behind the camera, but also has such a warm presence that brings out the best in their subjects. I wholeheartedly recommend Sarah to anyone wanting timeless, heartfelt photos. We're so grateful for these memories and can't wait to book future sessions!

I should've followed my first instinct and gone somewhere else instead of being lazy and settling…read morefor this location. The only reason I'm giving one star is because the manager was kind enough to let me still make my appointment even though I was running late and they weren't busy. Now, as for the African American woman assisting with the photos (I didn't catch her name, unfortunately), the experience with her was absolutely terrible. When she asked if I had any coupons, I mentioned that I was sure I could find one on the website. She immediately told me it would take 24 hours to activate. While I was literally pulling it up, she then changed her story and said it was a different website she was referring to. It felt dismissive and unnecessarily rude. On top of that, she clearly lacks basic photography/customer service skills. She was just snapping pictures without giving any direction at all no adjustments, no help fixing poses, no guidance with my kids, nothing. I had to keep stopping the session myself to fix my children because she couldn't be bothered to say anything and just kept taking bad shots. What made it worse is that when it came time to choose photos, I truly feel like she intentionally selected the worst possible ones when I know there were much better options taken during the session. Overall, this was a frustrating, unprofessional, and disappointing experience. The rude attitude alone was enough to make sure I will never return. I absolutely would not recommend this location to anyone.

We are from Colorado and it was so fun to get incredible photos on the coast. Well worth the trip! Nicole was great at communicating before, during, and after the shoot.

And this was the first time we were wearing traditional outfits! Mary went above and beyond. The location she chose was beautiful and she was VERY patient with my 2 year old who was probably the most difficult challenge of this all. The pictures came out incredible! I appreciate her giving us both a B&W and a colored version of ALL pictures we chose! Thank you Mary Awshee!

We loved Mary and I'm so glad we found her! She was such a delight to work with on our baby's cake…read moresmash session. We wanted a travel theme for the shoot and Mary went the extra mile and got a globe and a rustic cool plane to add to the set and it was perfect! Never mind that our baby was sorta in a "I don't wanna smile" mood on the day, it was still really cute how the photos turned out. Communicating with Mary before the session was a breeze. She is so easily available to us via text or email or phone call. As this was our first photo shoot, I was feeling a little shy to reach out to her so much and she was just really cool about it. From the first phone call I had with her, she just feels like a friend already. Love her energy and friendly vibes. I also really appreciate how assertive she was during the shoot. Like she knows what she is doing and we just take her lead throughout the session. It really makes a whole ton of difference when you have an experienced photographer who knows what she is doing and does it. The only thing I regretted is not testing out our baby's outfit before the shoot cuz the outfits definitely were too big on him, and it shows on the photos. But that's on us. All in all, we had a wonderful experience with Mary. Thanks Mary, for an awesome cake smash photo session. We are definitely looking forward to the next photo shoot, and hopefully the little one will smile this time. :)))
