    DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS SCAMMER! Do yourself a favor and get your money back, cancel, file a claim, and don't even schedule with this person. I have fallen victim to this deceitful business owner. I myself booked w/ Mari for Nov 25, 2023 and she decided to message me a text apologizing for a flat tire that she got and followed that text with a picture of CHP behind her. AN INCONVENIENCE ON HER END! She offers to reschedule my family and I which at first we agreed to but minutes later disregard our agreement and decided to ask for a REFUND IN FULL. MARI AGREED TO THE REFUND AND SAID SHE PROCESSED IT THAT SAME DAY! Turns out that was a LIE! I messaged her respectfully through text messages,Instagram, and work email, I did not receive a respond UNTIL I filed a dispute on the charge. I am very fortunate that I don't need the $$$ but people work hard for their hard earned $$ and for her to scam people like that really shows the type of person she really is. She mentioned her policy: " If something comes up on my end and i ask to move your session date and you cannot change your date. I will issue you a full refund." Clearly she did not issue me a refund hence why I am writing this review.

    This women is so petty and unprofessional, she should be ashamed of how she runs her business. I own a business and would never treat my clients this way. And then she blocked me. I don't even get how she even still has a business lol. She contradicted herself in every sentence she wrote to me. Such a waste of time and energy.

    805 SCAMMER Whatever you do DON'T book with this woman! I honestly don't understand how she could scam people from her own community! It's unfortunate because Mari is a great photographer but she's a thief that clearly continues to target pregnant and young woman! My 19-year-old daughter who is a full-time student saved up her money to purchase a photo session for me as a gift. The day of our session, Mari contacted my daughter 30 minutes prior to the appointment time she scheduled(months prior) to to push out the appointment time by an hour (which was totally fine)... 1 hour prior to the rescheduled appointment time (THAT SHE REQUESTED) she sent another text basically canceling the appointment! Keep in mind, I had already payed for hair/makeup for me and my daughters, and requested half-day off from work! Mari went MIA after canceling the appointment and refused to respond to text messages and multiple attempts to get a hold of her to try to reschedule the appointment that SHE CANCELED. So I decided to take matters into my own hands and made an IG post asking for my followers to help me find a way to connect w/ her... Of course after the post she FINALLY decided to communicate w/ my daughter but basically bullied and harassed her talking bout "tell your mom to take the post down or ur not getting ur refund" like who does that? Bottom line, my daughter got her refund back (only because I put Mari on blast) but this woman clearly needs to be reprimanded for her actions! She's a thief and I truly hope that you'll think twice about booking w/ her!

    Looking for someone who works great with kids? Knows how to be personable and actually gets to know you? Can capture the moment without trying? And has great work for you to have as a keepsake whether it's candids of you chasing your little or graduation to wedding pictures? Then mari is your girl! I've been going to her since Mother's Day 2019 and she's captured all my eldest firsts from our Mother's Day to birthday to Christmas! Her work shows how much she tries to capture you and your little in the moment! She takes her time to get to know you, your life, and to become a friend! She is so patient with Miguel and knows how to capture him in the moment (I have yet found a photographer who can capture Miguel laughing or smiling in a photo like she has). Personally my experience with mari has been nothing but phenomenal! She keeps in touch and sends me updates about my sessions. I've always came back to her even when there's other photographers in Ventura asking when I'd book with them. (Usually try others once just because of friendship but always find myself booking again with mari consistently) her work has improved over the years, her editing style is something I always loved and obsessed over. Her work isn't just meant to be shown on Instagram but printed and frame to be placed above the fireplace or wall for everyone to see! I have so many printed photos up on our wall that was taken by her! I highly recommend mari to anyone that wants photos done because these are memories you'll want later and will never regret! Can't wait to be back in California to book a family session that now includes a new little and a dad! You literally get what you pay for, if not more.

    Mari was such a sweetheart for our Christmas photo shoot 2021. She is so talented and knows exactly what she is doing! I loved our pictures so much that I decide to use her again for my daughters 1st cake smash session. She gave me my pictures in one week, I would definitely book her again, and recommend her to all my friends and family. My sister in law also took her maternity pictures with her and loved her photos.. and my other sister in law is looking into doing a session with her. You will not regret it She is amazing!!!! Thank you Mari

    I am so grateful we found Mari and for all the amazing images she has captured for us over the past three years. She's really talented and has a wonderful ability to make you feel comfortable and is magical when it comes to kids. Her work speaks for itself, she's super responsive and scheduling is always super easy. I can't wait to continue booking with her.

    Mari does wonders!! Her work is amazing and very different from other photographers. I have had two sessions with her and in both sessions she has made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera. She is such a loving person and her personality is so fun!! Can't wait to book with her again!!

    Not only does she make you feel super welcomed, loved and treats you right BUT her edits/ pictures are just amazing. They truly speak for themselves, they do say.. you get what you pay for & with her work it's CLEARLY explained. My kids LOVE taking pictures with her & feel so welcomed and not forced to smile.. when I last took my kids Xmas pictures I thought dang that was quick, maybe I'll get ONE good shot, BUT boy was I wrong.. she got sooooo many good shots I cried hands down, the best photographer my family could have chosen! You're an Angel sent for this Mari! I can't wait for my maternity pictures & so many more to comeee!

    This is gonna be a long one, but totally worth the read if you're trying to decide whether or not to book with her. Only reason she even gets one star is because unfortunately I cannot give zero stars. In early August I decided to book my maternity pictures with her because I went through her Instagram and really liked her work. I was a little annoyed that I had to pay the full amount up front, but still decided to do it because getting these pictures done was really important to me. I booked my session TWO MONTHS in advance (October 14th) so that I could avoid any last minute changes and secure my spot since she is so "busy." Fast forward to October 7th, I get a message from her asking if we could do my session earlier that day because she was going to leave on vacation at 1pm, my session was scheduled at 3pm. I didn't mind so I responded and said yes what time works for you? FIVE days go by and I still did not hear back from her. Finally on October 12th (2 days before my session) she sends me a text saying she's actually leaving on vacation on the 13th and wanted to reschedule for Sunday the 19th. At first I said yes that's fine but then after talking to my boyfriend he told me to ask to do Wednesday 10/20 or Thursday 10/21 instead so within an hour after sending the text about Sunday I asked for Wednesday or Thursday instead. Another SIX days go by and I still didn't hear back from her. If you give her the benefit of the doubt and not include when she was "on vacation" that is still THREE days that she failed to respond to me. Mind you, the whole time while waiting for her to respond she was constantly posting on her Instagram about stupid shit. Anyways, finally I got upset and ended up asking for a refund. Still didn't hear back from her about that until almost a day later. The next morning I go on Instagram and the first I see is a post from her bitching about clients asking for refunds. I figured there's no way this could be about me if my refund request is coming from a scheduling error on HER end, but it still pissed me off so I sent her another text regarding the refund and explaining the situation to her. I wasn't rude to her I was straight up and to be honest pretty annoyed. FINALLY she decided to respond (completely rude and unprofessionally, I'll attach screenshots) and then finally ended up processing the refund. My review isn't about the fact that she constantly complains about customers or that she didn't give me my money back. It's about the fact that I had to go through so much shit to get it. Also the fact that now I'm gonna lose out on taking maternity pictures for my first born. AND the stress she caused me to feel when I'm almost 33 weeks pregnant and have enough going on as is. JUST TO ADD, I was not going to write a review if she refunded me but her rude attitude and remark she made to me is not okay so I changed my mind. I'm not the one to get into drama or even write reviews at all but this girl needs to be exposed and even if I can stop one person from choosing to go to her, I'll be happy. Be careful who you choose when booking these types of services and ALWAYS check Yelp first. If I would've seen the 10+ negative reviews about her on Yelp first I never would've booked with her at all.

Being from out-of-town, we didn't know a lot of details on what we needed, and Brian was flexible for our needs. He was also very helpful in making suggestions about what sorts of pictures to take and the timing of the day. Best of all, my parent's were really excited to have their special day recorded, and were thrilled by the pictures that they got! While all of the arranged pose pictures that he took were great, I really think that Brian's greatest strength is in his candid photo shots. We have pictures of some of our nephews smiling and having fun...and I don't think they have ever taken pictures like that before. The cost of our package was totally reasonable, and Brian provided many more pictures than we thought we were actually going to get. He also stayed longer than I had asked him to, so that he could get all of the pictures that we wanted. I would highly recommend Brian to anyone in the area needing special photos for a special day!

    Brian is pure talent crossed with a big heart and passion for what he does.

There are those simple yet beautiful and swift moments that someone just looks amazing, and I saw Brian capture those moments while photographing my parents. His pleasant easy-going nature got my shy and anxious parents to just relax and enjoy themselves and it showed in the photos. I've got nothing but love for this guy and his talent who clearly loves his job and loves people.

After the first phone call with Jeff, I knew I was in good hands. He immediately made the entire process feel simple and straightforward. He walked me through everything, answered all my questions, and helped me think through details I hadn't even considered. On the day of the proposal, Jeff was calm, professional, and completely on point. When we received the photos, my fiancé and I were immediately blown away. They turned out way better than I expected. He didn't just take pictures; he captured genuine emotion, raw reactions, and moments we'll treasure forever. The lighting, timing, and angles were all perfect. Looking through them brought us right back to the moment. If you're even slightly stressed about hiring a photographer for a proposal or any special moment, Jeff is your guy.

From our first contact, Jeff was enthusiastic & made us feel comfortable. He listened to what we wanted for wedding photos & guided us with posing for the camera. It helped getting to do an engagement shoot with him so we could learn the different cues and get some great photos in the process. Jeff was always super communicative & worked well with our planner. He's organized & gets the photos out to you in a timely manner. The album links are easy to share with friends/family. Photos that are downloaded come out looking beautifully. On the wedding day, Jeff came in super excited along with a second photographer, Will. Jeff and Will are a great team who get things done without feeling too rushed. During our reception, we asked to do table group photos. As a last minute request, Jeff handled it well & was able to get our 16 tables photographed with us in less than 30 minutes. He captured so many wonderful moments from our couples portraits, to a first look with my dad, to our grandparents out on the dance floor. I can't recommend Jeff enough; he's the best!
