    1 year cake smash :)
    Jessica C.

    Best money spent for my daughter's first birthday! I looked far and wide on the internet for a photographer for my baby's 1 year pictures. People were either too expensive or very bare minimum when it came to the service provided. And then there came Melissa.. not only did her aesthetic and style fit my criteria, her price point was within my budget, AND she carried outfits, accessories and props in her studio! Melissa was really easy to contact and the booking process was quick and smooth. I really appreciate the survey she had me take about my design style and photo expectations and the faq/instructions on our cake smash before the photoshoot so we knew what to expect and what items to prepare. My daughter's cake smash took a little over an hour and we were able to get in several different props, outfits and backgrounds. Melissa let us use some of her handmade baby clothing and accessories from various Etsy sellers, which were all so super unique and cute! My baby was a little nervous in front of the camera but Melissa was really patient to give her quick breaks in between and even broke out some toys to make her feel more comfortable. After our session, we were able to choose our proofs and receive our final pictures in about 1 week's time! & we were so so so happy with the pictures. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer for their children/family.

    Just one of the amazing photos of our little guy, captured by the amazing Melissa Stewardson!

I fell in love with her artist style and seeing the images she was able to capture of me during this pregnancy, brought literal tears to my eyes. I felt so beautiful during the shoot and I am so thankful to have these beautiful images to cherish forever.

But as I neared the end, I realized I didn't want to look back and regret not capturing such a meaningful chapter of our story. I reached out to Tiffany at 33 weeks pregnant, thinking it might be too late, but she was so sweet, kind, and somehow made it work to fit us in. I'm so grateful she did--because I gave birth just two days later. During the shoot, she made both me and my husband feel so at ease. She created a space that felt calm and natural, and she truly captured the love, anticipation, and joy we were feeling. The photos turned out beautiful and I will treasure them forever. If you're on the fence about doing a maternity shoot, this is your sign. And if you're looking for someone who brings both incredible talent and genuine warmth, Tiffany is the one.

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

    With photos, you'd think the results would speak for themselves, and that if someone's portfolio…read morelooks good that they must be great. That's not entirely the case when it comes to a photographer, especially when it's for one of the most special days of your life. We contracted Xiaopan for a mini elopement session. We expected some great photos of our special day - we didn't need much. Xiaopan went above and beyond from the first call. We didn't have an exact location in mind, just an area, and Xiaopan recommended one to us that she had taken a previous client to. The location was amazing, and exactly what we wanted. The experience itself was perfect - Xiaopan is firm but not pushy, will push you just a bit out of your comfort zone, and you will have so much fun along the way. Our dog is not great with strangers, but Xiaopan understood and was incredibly respectful of his space and his needs - all while getting some great shots of him. I think you can learn a lot from a person by seeing how patient they are with difficult situations - like my needy dog. While you want to have great pictures on your wedding day, your experience of the day should also be a great memory. With Xiaopan you absolutely get both!

    If you need a photographer, look no further!!!!…read more I have had the pleasure of working with Xiaopan for a few different shoots. She had photographed my partner's graduation photos, and she most recently shot engagement photos for us. Xiaopan is one of the most talented photographers I have ever worked with. She was able to capture my fiancé and I, and even our dog as our most authentic selves. Xiaopan has a way of creating and shooting moments that I feel we wouldn't be able to recreate with anyone else. Xiaopan is also extremely professional, and does not want to waste any of her client's time. For our most recent photo shoot, we were in Griffith Park and a few teenagers were adamant about distracting us. Xiaopan shut them down so quickly, and they didn't bother us again. If you are looking for someone who genuinely cares about making your day special, and capturing the little moments, Xiaopan is the person for you.

    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!!!

However, the studio was incredibly flexible and worked with me to find dates and times that matched our schedules. Once there, both the photographer and assistant made it easy to take photos, kept my daughter laughing, and made each outfit/background change seamless. 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!
