He is excellent with creating a easygoing mood with everyone. If I need another photographer I would be very happy and comfortable working with Mario again. Thank you again Mario.

From the owner: Photography is not just a hobby for me. It's more than that. What I see is an image that's going to…read morelast a lifetime! An image that you can see over and over without it blurring away. Memories are being made one click at a time. Me being the person that I am, will always put you first. I want my clients to laugh, and to be emotional, and also show that joy when they look back at that special day when we captured that special moment! I pour my heart out to this. This is what it's made of. This is who I am.

I cannot recommend Lisa enough! She always finds the best locations and lighting to make our family…read morepictures look magical! She is creative with ideas and is patient with my crazy young boys! She sees the pictures in her head before you can and knows just the shots to make the lifestyle pictures work. They don't look like boring posed photos. The smiles she catch are genuine and so special to have captured. We love working with Modern Image and can't wait for each session we book!

Actually, I'm pretty sure she also travels, so definitely contact her for details. I really can't say enough positive things about the business owner / photographer, Lisa. She is super sweet! Her friendliness, professionalism, and expertise set the tone for a relaxed vibe during the shoot. Her confidence leaves no doubt in her ability to deliver. She allowed baby to be himself, just playing & laughing while her goal was to capture those cherished moments. The entire process was so perfect for what we wanted as well as our timeframe (due to my lovely procrastination, hah). Our images were delivered in a timely manner, and there's no dealing with all the silly restrictions like using only certain print shops, or purchasing digital images separately, blah blah, etc etc. Love having the freedom to do whatever we want with our baby's pictures!! We would definitely book with Modern Image Photography again, and encourage others to trust in Lisa to produce quality images to treasure for a lifetime.

Jamie is a fantastic photographer!! I had the greatest experience with her for a boudoir photo…read moreshoot. Before the shoot, I was super nervous - I'd never met Jamie & I was going to be wearing lingerie in front of a camera... what did I get myself into?! However, once I arrived at her studio & talked with her, I felt so comfortable. It wasn't awkward & I am kind of awkward lol. She helped me understand certain poses and was encouraging throughout it. She also helped me pick out what to wear, that would look the best with her different studio sets. I felt so relaxed because of how she talked me thru everything. She followed up after sharing the photos with me & was very helpful during that process as well. Even thou I got them as an anniversary gift for my husband, I feel like it was also for me as it boosted my self-esteem. I usually don't like the way I look in photos, but she was able to capture my beauty in a way that made me feel confident & sexy, just the way I am. The quality of her work is stunning. She knows how to work with angles, light & shadow to flatter you. She is so creative. Now my husband & I have a cherished gift & we couldn't be more happy with the photos.

By the time I was done reviewing the photos, I ended up with happy tears in my eyes. They were so moving and full of feeling! Not only are her photos and talent amazing, she gives the best advice and direction! She made sure Bailey was comfortable and always having fun! Jamie Solorio has a gift that Redding, CA is lucky to have! I will never go elsewhere for my photography needs!

We couldn't have been happier to have Betsy and Justin capture our engagement and wedding photos…read more I had really high standards (thanks to Pinterest), and Essence Photography far exceeded them. After experiencing engagement/wedding photography, I would actually have to say that the pictures are NOT the most important part. The most important part is how well the photographers and the subjects (us as a couple) work together. We totally dug Betsy and Justin. They are both so low key and relaxed, but at the same time, they get stuff done. They pose you and also take your suggestions for what you'd like to see. They are open to suggestions, but are also professionals, so they know what works and what doesn't work. They have such great personalities and are so good at what they do that my whole family was so appreciative of them on our wedding day. Having photographers with a good personality and disposition is so important, because they help you feel at ease, and therefore, take more beautiful pictures! I also have to say that Betsy is so kind for working with me. I have a pretty direct personality, and sometimes that doesn't always go over well. She was very patient in working with me and always listened to what I was looking for and did her best to accommodate me. I was very appreciative of that! The pictures they took for us will last us a lifetime. They are so beautiful and are also backed by good memories of working with Betsy and Justin. Thank you, Essence Photography!!
