I am so happy I chose Raquel for my maternity pictures. I am on my 3rd baby and have never done a…read morematernity shoot. To be honest I don't much like to take pictures because I come out incredibly awkward every time. But seeing that this baby completes our family I really wanted to make sure I do all the things most first moms do lol. So this journey is well documented. Back on point* meeting Raquel was as if I was meeting a girlfriend I just hadn't seen in a while. The entire experience was comfortable and relaxed. She made the environment inviting and without trying to hard made me feel pretty and Natural. And JAM, the photos are beautiful l. I've looked at them a thousand times haha I'm so taken back by how beautiful they are. I may be checking back on them so often just to make sure it's me haha. On a normal day I'm awkward in my body. And awkward in my smile. So being pregnant ‍ geez it's next level. But if I'd known sooner that I could look this good I'd of saved all the monies to have Raquel take pictures of me throughout my pregnancy. #feelinMySelf My next goal is to get her to do a family photo shoot for us once this little guy arrives. Whole heartedly thank you Raquel for the timeless memories

I spoke to a number of different photographers who specialize in maternity photoshoots and ultimately went with Raquel because I was so impressed by her aesthetic and portfolio of work. In November 2021, I went to my maternity photo session with zero expectations and preparations 37 weeks pregnant. Thanks to Raquel (and her fantastic client wardrobe) I have gorgeous pictures from this magical time which I will cherish forever. Raquel is so warm, fun, and easy to work with! Despite my insecurities about being a plus-size, "old" (35-years-old), first-time preggo mom, Raquel honestly made me feel like an It Girl celebrity. Her feedback and direction during the shoot were so helpful and they instantly boosted my confidence. I felt gorgeous and felt she clearly knew what she is doing. Raquel was generous with her time and didn't stop until I felt confident we got all the shots I wanted. She even took a few of me and my partner. Today, I feel honored to have my photos be featured on her website, Instagram, and in this BabyCenter article!!! https://www.babycenter.com/pregnancy/hear-from-moms/15-powerful-photos-celebrating-plus-size-pregnancy_40009222?fbclid=IwAR0BC9c7q26Xe95KQvip7irJWkmtwXvey1IZJ88TCna4exqFXQKqiOoHU40 Like I alluded to earlier, if you go with Raquel and you will get the celebrity treatment!

This review is long over due ! I had my son in March & throughout my pregnancy I had everything…read morethought out from our gender reveal to his going home outfit, to a maternity photoshoot to everything else in between... EXCEPT a newborn session !! IDK why that never crossed my mind, but apparently those are scheduled MONTHS in advance to ensure there is a spot reserved when the time comes ! I had no idea the window for a newborn is so small (it's like a 12 day window or something like that) so they must be done right away. Timing is critical ! After a few tries of reaching out to photographers, I was referred by Holly Heine to Julie Irene ! & I am SO glad she pointed me in her direction !! Right off the bat I was amazed at her work (I am a photographer myself, so I am very picky !!!!). Julie's work does not scream tacky JCPenny photo session. You can tell right away that every session is unique & catered to ones individual style ~ I just LOVE that !!! I felt very confident upon booking the session with her & was excited. We ended up doing a family session & I added the make up artist onto the package (worth it in my opinion, when you're a new mom getting ready is an impossible task sleep deprived !). The clothing she provides from her prop room for your little one are all hand made by herself & so adorable & timeless. When it was time to go take a look at the photos (a couple weeks later), I was amazed. She had so many options, it was a bit overwhelming but she made it easy to help narrow it down. Our package included a folio box which is an awesome investment ! It is sitting in our living room today. She also sends high res jpegs so you can get those printed on your own at a lab which is awesome. Photos are so important to me, they solidify the memories making them eternal. So yes Julie Irene I'd 10000% recommend. The fact she took me in last minute is amazing !!! She was so patient with scheduling us, the first day we couldn't make it & she could of charged some sort of fee but didn't. She is very patient, & understanding ! She is very gentle & is a baby whisperer with your newborn ! If you are looking for a newborn photographer, book your session here. The next round I will be booking her again !

While pregnant with my 2nd son I was in search of a photographer to do a newborn session since I…read morehad done one for my 1st son. For my 1st son we went through a different company as it was during the peak Covid-19 pandemic so I had opted for an in home session. I found Julie after a lot of researching online. Immediately fell in love with her work. Reached out to her to see if I could get more info regarding the newborn session. Her assistant called, left me a voicemail along with a follow up email. Unfortunately, I was unable to get back to her for about 2 months because I was still working full time and had a toddler to take care of so time got the best of me. When I did reach back out to her assistant I did not get a response after leaving a voicemail and email. I was still very interested in working with Julie so tried one last time to get in contact via her website. Julie herself immediately responded to me and apologized. Was so glad to hear from her. We were able to get a date/time for us to go to her studio for a quick meeting so she could go over the process, available packages and give us a tour of her studio. Love her studio and loved meeting her as well! She is super sweet and her studio is so spacious. One of the rooms also has bins of toys to keep toddlers preoccupied while she works with the newborn(s). After the meeting I knew I wanted her to do the newborn session for my 2nd son so I signed the contract. After my son was born I let her know our expected go home date and we scheduled for the session about 10 days out. Everything went smoothly day of the session. I had paid a small extra fee to have her hair & makeup girl doll me up as well. She made me look pretty as I was already sleep deprived with a newborn lol. Julie also has boppy and breastfeeding pillows so you can comfortably nurse your newborn to sleep for the photo session. Julie and her assistant were great with both our newborn and toddler. The photos came out amazing and the album we purchased is absolutely beautiful. We are so happy to have had Julie do our 2nd son's newborn session.

I'm not sure where to begin. For those just interested in reading a brief review, all you need to…read moreknow is Jones Photography Company is the way to go. Period. The End. For those that want to know why we chose them, continue reading. We first met Julie and Jonathan at a bridal show in August 2016. We had attended a few shows like this earlier in the year and hadn't really found a photographer for our June 2017 wedding that we connected with and loved their style of photography. That was until we met Julie and Jonathan. For my now husband and myself, it was so important for us to find someone we connected with and felt comfortable with taking photographs of us. Neither of us like to be in front of the camera. There is this ease about the two of them that makes you feel like you've known them forever. Julie is warm, friendly and I discovered on my wedding day, extremely comforting and calming. Jonathan's humor and sarcasm were right up our alley and made shooting so fun. Both our engagement photos and wedding photos were taken by Julie and Jonathan. We chose the Point Loma Lighthouse for our engagement photos. What we didn't think about was that we were shooting on Veteran's day weekend which made the Lighthouse a hotspot for tourists. You would NEVER know because they did an unbelievable job editing out all the surrounding people in our photos. It appears that we were the only ones there. I've posted a few. We received all of our professionally edited engagement photos within 2 weeks of shooting. The turnaround was perfect for us who were eager to see them. Julie and Jonathan absolutely captured our wedding day beautifully. I can't stop looking at our photos. Julie's attention to detail on the details of the day and Jonathan's expertise in wider angled shots gave us a variety of views. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! Julie is very responsive and attentive to your needs and is overall just a wonderful human being. We are so, so very lucky to have stopped at their booth. As we expand our family, we most certainly will hire Jones Photography Company for future photos.

I am so happy that I will have these photos to look back on the happiest day of my life. She has this incredible ability to capture the candid moments beautifully. I knew immediately that I was going to hire Holly after our 30 minute Zoom meeting turned into a 90 minute Zoom call. I felt so comfortable with her, and I could talk to her for hours. Her communication style is fantastic. If you send her an email she will respond to you quickly. She makes a point to inform you about anything that you need to be aware of. Holly played a huge part in how my wedding day went, and she always took the time to ask how I was doing or if I needed anything. Holly went above and beyond, and I will never forget her or her kindness. Thank you, Holly, for blessing my husband and I with your beautiful work and for being the incredible person that you are!!
