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.

Hands down, Anita is the absolute BEST portrait and lifestyle photographer!

Whether you are being photographed alone, with family, or with a team of colleagues, you will be thrilled with the results. Anita will make sure of that. She is truly outstanding.

She has wonderful communication. If I sent her an email it was answered promptly. Fast forward to the day. My sweet gorgeous fussy newborn came out peaceful and sweet in all the photos she took. She was gentle and patient with him, and us being new moms and all. When my partner needed to feed she just readied the room for the next shot. I didn't feel rushed or pressured, she listened to all our ideas and came with some amazing ideas of her own. I think we found our life long photographer because she was one of the best we've had. I'll be recommending her to all my friends and family!! Go ahead and see for yourself, she's amazing to say the least.

I don't recall seeing posted prices but she did inform me of the cost, expected wait and hours when I called. The only reason I didn't provide 5 stars is that she seemed impatient and exasperated when I asked her to retake the digital photo just once. It did not feel warm or welcoming, but she got the job done. Maybe she had other things on her mind that day. They have a large selection of frames as well if you're in urgent need for that.

On the day of, I was nervous if things were going to fall into place, but Annie, our photographer, shared her location with me and arrived early in just the spot I wanted. She was also wonderful to work with--her photography and editing skills are great and even though we never really posed for photos before, she made it easy for us. She even had the presence of mind to turn us away from family members who were coming from behind to surprise us. We received a few photos the night of the proposal to share with friends and then the rest of the photos after a quick turnaround. We were very happy with how they turned out and appreciative of Annie's great work!

My husband and I were so fortunate to work with Annie & David for our engagement photoshoot and…read morewedding. They were the first vendor we booked after securing our venue, so we got to know them over the course of the year leading up to our wedding in August 2025. After coming across their photos when researching different potential photographers that had experience at our venue, we were very interested in meeting them. We had an initial video call with them and knew immediately that we wanted to book them for such a critical part of our wedding journey. There aren't enough words to describe how skilled and professional they are--they are amazing photographers (individually and as a duo) and clearly love what they do. Our proposal photoshoot was the only prior experience we had in terms of taking professional photos as a couple. We met them in person for the first time at our engagement photoshoot--they immediately made us feel comfortable and were seriously thoughtful about the entire process, whether it was the location choices, minute-by-minute weather changes/forecast, outfit changes, etc. It really feels like they plan for everything and care about the little details. When we asked them about another vendor they would potentially work with on the day of our wedding, they even referenced notes they made when they had worked with them for a prior wedding. Throughout the whole process, they were prompt communicators (frequently responding to an email within minutes!) and guided us with experience and patience that we really appreciated. Whenever we had something to discuss with them (including choices we needed to make as a couple), they never hesitated to give us suggestions and feedback. Even if they offered an alternative suggestion to an idea of ours, it always felt like they genuinely cared and they wanted what we wanted, and it never felt like criticism. We received our wedding photos just about 2 months after our wedding, and we love every single one of them (all 667)! They are truly the best photographers to work with and just lovely people to be around. We definitely plan to keep in touch with them for future photoshoots! :) TL;DR: You should have booked A Tale Ahead Photography yesterday!!

Mark and Tracy are the best of the best. I have hired them twice to take pictures of productions…read moreI've directed and both batches of photos were absolutely incredible (some examples below). Per production I got about 500+ photos and not a single one was a dud. My theater was able to build an entire marketing campaign around their photography and sold out both shows because of how high quality the photos were. Not to mention working with them was a dream. They were responsive, professional, and on time. They also were able to get really up close photos without distracting performers, which can be quite challenging. I've also used Tracy separately for my headshots. What I appreciate most about her is her innate ability to put you at ease for your photos, without making you feel awkward along the way. For many, myself included, there's something inherently uncomfortable about having your photo taken and Tracy knows exactly how to take the pressure off with her professional and warm approach. On top of that, the final product is always awesome. I purchased the package that includes 8 fully edited photos and narrowing it down was near impossible because every single photo of the 100+ she took was amazing. I could not recommend Mark and Tracy more for whatever photo needs you may have.

Sandy is truly one of the most skilled newborn/family photographers in the bay area! I was lucky to…read morefind Sandy 4 years ago with my first born and the newborn photos ended up being incredible! It was an easy decision to go back to her with our second baby. Here are some of the ways that Sandy truly stood out: - Both our babies were born around Christmas holiday and scheduling was not an issue at all for Sandy. She checked in ahead of the appointment to ensure we didn't need to reschedule (much needed for parents that just gave birth recently) and had our themes ready prior to us arriving. - The themes were 10/10, better than what we could've envisioned ourselves. And our themes were generic such as lemon or Christmas. - The amount of patience Sandy has is seriously amazing! Our second baby was a bit harder to photograph compared to the first, in addition to a toddler who wasn't in the mood for pictures, and it didn't phase Sandy at all. She took her time to make sure she was able to capture each theme well and had tips up her sleeve to get the toddler to take some pictures. I highly recommend going with Sandy if you're considering photo sessions! She goes above and beyond to ensure all the special moments are captured and the pictures are so incredibly worth it.

I'm truly delighted to share my experience working with Sandy!

I am really impressed by her talent with infants and children; she was fantastic with my newborn and my 2-year-old. Her ability to craft stunning scenes is also incredible. And when it comes to her photography and editing skills, they are truly outstanding--just look at the edited photos, they're absolutely stunning! You won't be disappointed with Clairbare Studios and Sandy's gift for capturing beautiful, lasting memories of your little ones.
