Family Photo shoot at Palace of Fine Arts
Krystal C.

MarieSam was the photographer for my best friends wedding in LA. Working with her and Tommy during the wedding was a lot of fun and the photos and video from the wedding came out absolutely stunning! When I found out they were making a trip to the Bay Area and available to do sessions, I immediately contacted MarieSam to book a family photo shoot. MarieSam was extremely responsive in answering all of my questions. We discussed potential locations that would work well for young children (6-year old and 9-month old). She also provided me with some helpful links related to family photo shoot attire. This was beyond helpful in coordinating outfits for 2 kids and 2 adults. We narrowed down two locations for the shoot - The Palace of Fine Arts and Crissy Field. The day of the shoot - traffic was horrendous getting to the first destination (Palace of Fine Arts). It was fleet week and the area was overly concentrated with tourist. MarieSam and Tommy arrived early to scope out the place before we arrived. Once we started the shoot, I could tell by their expressions that we were getting some amazing shots! With the bad traffic conditions and a grumpy 9-month old - we opted to do the entire shoot at the Palace of Fine Arts. The turn-around time was pretty quick and the pictures came out phenomenal!! There were so many awesome shots that I'm still struggling with which photos to frame in our home. MarieSam also provided us a slideshow link to share with friends and family. The slide show had roughly 40 of the best images from the shoot. Our family absolutely loved it!!! Working with MarieSam was a great experience. She was 100% professional and put us at complete ease. We definitely plan to use her again in the future!!!

As a recent bride I know that so much effort and planning goes into this one special day. But when all is said and done, the dress is worn, the cake is cut, and your wedding song is over-played...all you have left to look back on are the photos. So, let's just say the photographers are kind of a big deal. I am so thrilled to have entrusted MarieSam Sanchez Photography with making these memories for us. MarieSam and her husband Tommy not only captured every detail perfectly, they somehow captured the essence of that day and I am very thankful for that. They were unobtrusive when taking candid shots and gave great direction when taking formals. Plus, the calm, natural composure these photographers carry made it easy to be ourselves and stay calm throughout the day. I would recommend them to anyone and give them 4 thumbs up (if I had 4 hands...)!!! Did I even mention that they are wonderful people and a pleasure to work with? It felt like they were in our wedding, not vendors covering it.

Words can't describe how thankful we are to have Mariesam and Tommy be a part of a special time in our lives.  Thank you!

See all

Truth be told....I write this with a bit of a tear in my eye....not to get too melodramatic over a…read moreyelp review....but pictures...when done perfect and if your in a particular sentimental mood....can have that effect. Some backstory...Imagix/Michelle has done our yearly photos for our son from ages 1 to now 5. (See my past reviews). From somehow capturing a perfect moment from our perpetually moving blur of a son (ages 1-3) to patiently instructing four 70/80 year olds on how to hold their aforementioned 4 year old Tasmanian Devil grandson last year, Michelle is a magician/artist...I always leave the photoshoot stressed from the chaos Hurricane Daniel (our son) leaves in his wake....But every year we come back to look at the proofs and are amazed at Michelle ability to capture "lighting in a bottle" . This year was no different. Fortunately we survived the terrible 2's (...3's....4's....) and thanks to time, maturity, and the opposite of gentle parenting, our little Daniel, though far from perfect, is manageable. But we didn't want to make it too easy for Michelle, so we threw in another variable. After a recent canine cancer scare, and recently learning from Google that all dogs, however loyal and cute, unfortunately have an inescapable life, span, I somehow convinced my beautiful but camera shy wife that this is the year we do a family photo with our dog. Some more backstory, if you read this far, our Yorkie, Libby, loves us but HATES the rest of the world. She spent the entire hour photoshoot in perpetual scowl and Volume 11 non stop bark. One week later as she always does, lighting in a bottle perfection. I looked at the proofs with amazement. Our son, we expected....she's done it every year, but how she made a loud perpetual yapping bark into a impossibly cute smile is above my skill set. But I think her greatest feat is how she lessened the "he must be rich" looks gap between my wife and I. My wife is easy, even me with my amateur Android skills, it's hard for her to take a bad picture. Michelle mastery came with how she elevated me to "he must be funny" looks gap level. So why the tear? We loved one of the pics so much we purchased a large framed canvas print to hang on our living room wall. My 85 year old happened to be in town for his grandsons 5th bday so I asked him for an helping hand hanging the picture. I figured he has these family portrait hanging at my childhood home. My brother and I with our full head of hair and my mom shoulder pads captured the 90's to a tee...but what I always remember is the "proud" look my dad had on his face. A look of accomplishment shouting "look at me world and all that I love and created". Watching my aging dad struggle, listing to my aging dog bark in a locked room to protect my dad's ankles, I was suddenly reminded that time, as much as you want to hit pause, always moves forward. It's a good idea to stop and smell the roses, or in this case, look at the snapshot/memories/moments and take it all in. After my dad handed me the leveler and I put away the hammer, and I looked up....and yeah....I had that "Dad" look

Any nerves I had disappeared within minutes because she creates such a warm, empowering, and completely comfortable space. What sets Claudia apart is how she confidently takes the reins of the entire experience. I didn't have to worry about a single detail. She guided me through every pose, every expression, every subtle movement -- all while making it feel effortless and natural. She even caught the smallest things I never would have thought of, like removing a hair tie from my wrist so it wouldn't leave a mark on my skin. That level of care and attention to detail speaks volumes about her professionalism and artistry. She also helped me select outfits and explained what would photograph best, which made such a difference in the final results. I felt supported, seen, and celebrated the entire time. Overall, it was nothing short of a magical experience -- one I will never forget. If you're considering a boudoir shoot, book it with Claudia. She will make you feel confident, radiant, and absolutely stunning.

If you want to re-live your big day over and over again years later, James is your guy! My wife and I had never done a professional photoshoot. Neither of us are particularly comfortable in front of the camera. After interviewing 5 different photographers, we knew from our first conversation that James was the one. He is incredibly friendly, easy going, and knowledgeable. We agreed to do an engagement session, 1 location for 90mins to see if we'd be comfortable working with James. It couldn't have gone better. Initially, we were a bit stiff, but James gave us tips on how to act naturally, suggested poses and hand positions that made us feel and look relaxed. The time flew by and we actually ended up going to a second location with a wardrobe change. Overall, it was about 2 hours. James did not mind at all. In fact, he probably could've gone longer if the sun hadn't set on us! Our photos were edited and received in less than 2 weeks! James was kind enough to print a large poster and sign that shipped to our house in just a few days. He price matched any package/prints from other photographers. Having gone through our engagement session seamlessly, we hired James to shoot our wedding as well. He and an assistant were on site for 10 hours, tending to our every need and keeping us on our timeline. After our planned family/wedding party photos, we hardly even noticed them working as we proceeded with wedding events. After the wedding, we received many compliments on how great James was and several guests asked for his contact information. Within a couple of days, we received a preview of about 20 photos highlighting our big day. We were thrilled! Every important moment was captured so elegantly! The full magazine of photos was available for download in about 1 month. James then worked with us to print a high quality photo book for our coffee table. You can't go wrong with James--his high quality work and work ethic speak for themselves. There is no substitute for how easy and stress free he made us feel, so that we could truly enjoy ourselves knowing that he would capture every single moment candidly. Do not hesitate to hire James, it will be the best decision you will ever make.

You know a photographer seriously wants to capture the best pictures of your baby if they want you…read moreto come back when baby is fed, well slept, and happy. For some reason things just didn't align well with my baby's naps and feedings that day so it was hard to manage a tired baby but they managed to get real good photos of my baby and the family. My baby didn't really smile much yet but they were still able to get smiling pictures of her too. Very professional and works so hard to get the best pictures. I was truly grateful for this studio and loved my experience. Also the picture quality was amazing!! The backgrounds were cute and the clothes were so adorable too!! The price point is reasonable and I'd say cheaper than some others for a better quality. I think the turn around time to receive the photos were faster than we expected too. Truly appreciate working with this photographer. He really seems to love what he does and we are blessed with these amazing photos!!! Couple things to note/tips: 1. Go when your baby can smile. Yes after their neck strength gets way better too. My baby still can't really smile yet and she's 4 months old. I really wanted to push having 100 day photos when she was 3.5 months old so neck strength and expressions aren't expected. 1a. Also go when your baby is well fed, pooped, rested, good condition, etc. makes a world of difference. 2. They give you a looooot of photos to choose from. Be prepared to be pleasantly overwhelmed with photos. If you get decision fatigue then ask your spouse to help. Cause I loved getting the full gamut of photos. 3. They have a wardrobe but if you want your baby to wear something specific, bring it! Their wardrobe is pretty cute tho and fits with their backgrounds. 4. They have set backgrounds to choose from in their studio. The backgrounds are really cute but if you're looking for something specific, unique, tailored to you, the studio setting might not be for you. But tbh all 100 day, dohl, event photos basically look the same...so I would think it's odd to expect something different. I've seen tons of beach engagement pics. Tons of dohl pics with the same backgrounds and balloons. So why complain about a studio pic with similar styles and backgrounds or lack of variety? You're already the unique and different baby/family. So there's that. 5. Bring a toy or something that can get your baby's attention. I realized belatedly my baby likes to stare at herself in the mirror. She also likes her little fox doll. If your baby has a preference for a toy, perhaps being prepared like that will help with the experience! 6. Match your clothes with your family and partner beforehand. Clothes, accessories and shoes too so they look cohesive in the photos! Belatedly realized my husband's shoes didn't match any of our family's and my son's also seemed a little too bright. Oh well. Overall I loved the photos! Thank you again for the awesome and kind experience!!!

We were able to get 4 outfit and background changes in a little under an hour and cannot wait for the photos to come out. Highly recommend this studio!

We stopped by on a weekday in the late afternoon and practically had the place to ourselves. Another family arrived shortly after, but it was still very relaxed and easygoing. The process was super simple. You can make a reservation, but we just walked in without any issues. We did the white background setup for 15 minutes, which was perfect and definitely a must if you're taking photos with little kids. There were a few technical difficulties during our session, but the staff member was incredibly accommodating. He paused the timer and gave us those minutes back so we didn't lose any of our shoot time. The pricing is great too! The package includes 2 people and 3 printed 4x6 photos of your favorite shots. Additional people are only $5 each, but they didn't charge us for our toddler or newborn, which was such a nice surprise. One of the best parts is that you get access to download every single digital photo from your session, not just a select few. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and ended up with so many great family photos. definitely considering coming back for another shoot

The business is on the second floor (note: there are no elevators, so do not bring your stroller in!) and it is intimate, clean, and has a relaxed atmosphere.
