It was a no brainer. And knowing that this guy has been doing it for so long tells you he is consistent in his work, he does great work, and his clients love him (obviously he has 5 stars everywhere!) When you want someone to photograph this once in a lifetime moment, you know you need the expertise of someone like Joseph, who has photographed hundreds of proposals himself.

She is able to capture family dynamics while creating a comfortable vibe for children (key when you have a toddler!) AND capture the beauty of nature all at the same time. I honestly think she is a magician with her camera and even if you're certain that you had an awkward expression or your child only made angry faces, she somehow manages to capture beautiful shots with perfect framing. Not only is the photo session wonderful, but even her advice in preparation for the session is so valuable. She provides a personalized styling service that helped me pick color schemes that came out so beautifully in the pictures. She's also great at recommending photo shoot locations and is so thoughtful about items that she recommends we bring for the shoot. The resulting photos are incredibly beautiful, some as if they are out of a magazine, and I can't wait to get a few of them printed. Ashley is the best, and she helped capture some of these moments that we will cherish forever.

She immediately disarmed my very sensitive 5 year old and we got some of the most joyful and precious moments captured because of Ashley's skill, talent and warmth. I printed some of the photos for the Grandparents. Everyone was blown away at the beauty of the shot and how lovely the kids were in the photo. If you're looking for a family photographer, you found her! Just book the appointment. It's not only worth the investment, it's also a fun time together.

Julia was terrific, too! Janae and Julia worked very well as a cohesive team. Janae and Julia's photos are flawless! From start to finish Janae nailed it.

We went through about 4 costume (lingerie) changes each and an entire series of sexalicious and *oopsie you caught me* type Pin-up poses. Emily was a fantastic and charming photographer. While these two lovely ladies are professionals, I needed some serious direction! E: Point your toes Alice. Uh, don't forget to point your toes Alice. Look up Alice, yes so cute!

Photography was the next best thing to being on the court because it got me close to the action! For my 18th birthday, my mom surprised me with my first DSLR camera. At the time, I was entering my senior year of high school, and I was nominated the Editor and Chief of the yearbook. It was there that I developed my skills in Adobe layout and design. After studying photography in college, I returned to The Bay School to photograph events and teach yearbook. I’ve had the privilege to work at notable events such as Outside Lands Music Festival, Treasure Island Music Festival, Comedy Central’s Clusterfest, Live Oak Music Festival, The Bite of Oregon, and The America’s Cup. I’ve had some pretty amazing other photography experiences such as connecting with bands to shoot their local shows and freelancing for Another Planet Entertainment. Since I have worked behind the scenes, I have a much bigger appreciation for live music. Family and friends are everything to me, so it’s important to capture the moments, whether small or big. I am always excited when my clients choose me to photograph births, engagements, and small weddings as I often develop long lasting relationships with them. I look forward to capturing your moments in life that will turn into everlasting memories.
