We are so grateful to have found Rebecca Merlino on Yelp! We honestly didn't know what to expect,…read moreespecially with a newborn, but she exceeded every expectation we had. From the moment we arrived, she was warm, welcoming, and patient--exactly what new parents need. She has such a natural eye for beautiful moments. Nothing ever felt forced, and she somehow captured our baby's sweetest expressions and the love between my husband and me without us even realizing it. The entire session was calm, comfortable, and incredibly professional. When we reviewed our photos, we were blown away. Each image was more stunning than the last--soft, timeless, and absolutely priceless. These are photos we will cherish forever. If you're looking for someone who is talented, kind, and truly passionate about what she does, look no further. We can't recommend her highly enough!

Fabulous all around, the communication and quality of work are outstanding. I have had two shoots…read morewith Raymond and Charlie now, the first with my senior pup Daisy, who passed shortly after our shoot, and the more recent with my two large pups, one of whom is intensely reactive towards other dogs. As such, Raymond and Charlie have seen me experience an unusually wide range of emotions within the short amount of time we've spent together, and they have been nothing short of fantastic throughout both experiences. The photos of your pets will come out beyond match. I couldn't recommend more highly!

I'm already using one of the photos as my profile picture. These guys are so talented! We scheduled…read morea photoshoot for our first ever dog Ginger, our little Shih Tzu, on her 1st birthday since we wanted it to be special. They worked with our little girl Ginger with such finesse. They really work hard to get good shots. Ginger is a very shy dog so the first part of our shoot was them just trying to let her open up by playing with her and giving her treats. She definitely opened up after a while that's why she got the oh so beloved tennis ball shot! My husband and I are not the best models either and we wanted to be in the photos. They taught us some poses to look decent in the pictures. They really work with you and your preferences--they make sure you absolutely love the prints and the photos you end up with. We had an incident where one of the prints had smudged ink which was very minimal--, but they went above and beyond to literally drive to our home to switch out the framed prints just to make sure we have them perfect! We loved how every framed print turned out. Was definitely a pleasure to work with them. Thank you!!!!

For Leo and Kumo's August birthdays, we chose family photos as a way to hold on to what we can never truly keep: time. Thank you, Melissa from Be Here Now Photography, for capturing what words can't express. These photos freeze the fleeting moments of our pups and babies growing up together, a bittersweet reminder that their lives are short, but their love lasts forever. Melissa made everything so easy and was incredibly patient, even with two toddlers and four dogs! If you're looking for someone who can beautifully capture your pets and family, highly recommend Be Here Now Photography.

It all started one day when my friends and I were doing a wall for the OCSPCA and I believe I just…read morelost my precious Willow Tree and I remembering looking at the booths and seeing Melissa's and another one for special Urns, next to hers. I took both cards, not ready to face what I was still grieving. I stashed them away in a box and then a few years ago I was finally ready to do a tribute and memorial for Willow. I remembered clearly Be Here Now and I remembered how beautifully she photographed and what her purpose was behind what she did. It was a day in October that one of her events popped up on my Facebook. I wasn't able to attend however I asked if she could do a session for me and Briley and a memory of Willow too and if she had any special packages like that. She gave me some packages and let me choose. She beautifully and so kindly helped me through what was all these memories I had kept and narrowed them down into what her ideas were with what mine were. I am creative, but she is BEYOND creative and take every moment from the first email, the prepping, the photo session and then the review of your photos with such LOVE and PASSION! We both know the pain of losing an animal either too soon or when it was their time, and understand that each day is a BLESSING from above and to take each moment, live in it with JOY, PURPOSE and LOVE! Every day is a new day and we cant go back in time... Embrace the good and bad and keep on, keeping on, in memory of those that we have lost (animal or human). She is so patient, fun loving and an AHHMAZZING Photographer. She captures the moment and just knows how to do it naturally. That's when you know you found a PHOTGRAPHER FOR LIFE! I know and she knows, but fr all that don't know her personally like I do, THIS IS HER HEART AND SOUL and HER PURPOSE in life! You will NOT be disappointed. I will attach the photos I chose, I am sure there were 1000 more Treasured moments that she had captured. And a side note, Javier is GREAT TOO!!!! We love you guys!! XOXO Renee and Briley and Willow
