I think it was a facebook mom group post that I saw, where A&C was looking for little girl models…read more I decided, why not, I have a little girl (she's definitely not model material, she is 3 and in a complete awkward smile phase). Most communication for the photoshoot was arranged all online through e-mail. And for a busy working mom, that works great for me. All communication was very professional and availability dates were all set in advanced. So we showed up with a white dress on (which was what was advised to wear) and literally it only took about 15 minutes. Claudia was so great with my little one. She made her laugh and captured some genuine smiles from her. I was so impressed with her ability to get those smiles, because when I ask my little one to smile, it's more a serial killer looking to the side smile. I would definitely recommend A&C photography for family or kid photos. I noticed their Instagram that they do lots of shoots from Disneyland, and being that we are a big Disney family, I might just have to do a photoshoot there one day. Oh, and prices are completely reasonable!

Kristina comprehends what goes through the psyche of a typical woman prior to a boudoir shooting…read more She has devised an effective way to prime you the week before the shooting all the way to the day of! Firstly, through all of her communications (text l, emails, phone calls), she walks you through what happens during the entire process. I appreciated this so I knew what to anticipate in advance. She makes you feel comfortable sharing any of your concerns and asking her any questions, she takes her time and cares. She really makes it easier providing advice on your selection of clothing, what looks good on you and on the camera and what may not, so you have and idea what to shop for. It is apparent that she's been doing this for a long time, you get to the location, everything is ready to go and she makes you feel right at home. Kristina greeted me with a welcome gift with well thought out goodies. Her hairdresser/makeup artist, Jenn, was the best! Kristina informed Jenn of my idea for hair and makeup, so Jenn already had an idea on what to do for me and just asked me a few questions. The outcome whoa, Jenn was so spot on with the look I was trying to capture, I loved it! Kristina and Kelly, Assistant, styled my 4 outfits and shoes, determining what would look optimal for me. Kristina even had delicious refreshments to keep us fed during the 4 hours. Boy did that 4 hours go by fast! The Joshua Tree location was spectacular with a beautiful pool and the beautiful desert landscaping in the backyard, most importantly it was private. The best part was taking the pictures. Kristina is fun, funny, walks you through what to do, plays music and has a proactive way to make you feel comfortable, that you even get goofy. From her Gallery in her website, she has taken so many awesome shots, which is why I decided to go with her. Besides, she makes you feel like a badass during the shoot. I can't wait to see my pictures! Thank you Kristina for the positive energy, the great experience and hospitality!

My husband and I met 5 years ago and got married and started a family in the same year. We couldn't…read moreget wedding photos and always regretted it. We wanted to have a couple session for our 5 years anniversary and I thought straight away to ask Kristina to capture some photos of us. As a photographer myself, it was hard to find a photographer that I could trust: I needed to know that the end result would be exceptional and that we would both feel comfortable during the session. Kristina exceeded all my (very high) expectations! The communication with her was easy, we had the time of our life during the session and we were absolutely wowed by the final photos. I cannot wait to frame a couple for our house. Kristina made me feel super sexy and beautiful, and my husband was super natural in front of her lense. I'm very grateful for booking such an amazing photographer to record the precious memory of our fifth anniversary. Thank you Kristina!

Eve was a stand out amongst our wedding vendor team. After our initial photographer indicated there…read morewould be a high chance she couldn't show, we moved quick to secure a new photographer just a month before the wedding. It was important to us to find a quality photographer with an eye for some of the artsy/moody photos we were hoping for. Enter Eve who really did come and save the day. From the moment we met, she was so kind and showed a true interest in getting to know us as a couple. She was an absolute rock star during our wedding. We had a larger wedding (150 ppl) and she handled it with grace; always staying patient but giving direction confidently when need be. One of our favorite things Eve did was our private vows. We were considering scrapping it as it might be too complicated logistically, but Eve knew how important that time would later be and moved quick to find a quiet spot to make it happen. That really set the tone for my now wife and I, and was one of our most cherished moments on our wedding day. And the photos! We just received our full gallery and they're so beautiful! We feel so lucky to have worked with Eve. I would absolutely recommend her and hope to work with her again some day. Thank you Eve!

As an LGBTQ+ wedding, she made us feel totally at ease, included, and best of all - special! We booked Eve for our June 2024 wedding after meeting her at a friends' wedding and from the jump we connected with each other and I knew she was going to be perfect for our wedding. Eve is a great communicator and was fun to work with. We organized an incredible engagement shoot and it was delightful to see Eve's creativity at work. The shots turned out amazingly too, and we received rave reviews from family and friends! For the wedding itself, Eve sent an easy worksheet for us to complete of all family / friend photos, along with some helpful tips for how to stay hydrated and prepared the day-of. At the wedding, Eve made us feel at easy and never asked for too much. We also had plenty of time to actually enjoy the evening! And to top if off, the photographs perfectly capture the energy and mood of the event! Thank you Eve!

He is so personable and his pictures truly speak for themself...magical storytelling in his images. It was such a challenge for me to find the right photographer for our wedding, since my dad is a photographer..and we were so relieved when we (really my mom!) found Mikal's artistry on Instagram. It's not easy to find someone who is so passionate about their craft in the wedding industry... Fast forward to now, thanks to Mikal, my husband and I now have thee most cherished and beautiful photos to look back on thanks to his commitment to his craft and clients. We also got our photos in a reasonable amount of time after the wedding which we certainly appreciated. We were so lucky to have him as our photographer for our special day!!! Would recommend him to any bride or person who needs a photographer! Another tip- def hire a second photographer for your big day and spurge on the engagement pics too!

She photographed our engagement session and I'm IN LOVE with how they turned out. It goes without saying that the wedding photos were amazing. She got the shots that were in my inspo photo list. She is resourceful and will support you throughout your planning process. My husband and I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a quality photographer. I also got great feedback from guests about how organized she is and structured on the big day.

Alexandra is an incredible photographer. Some people just have an eye for nice photos and she…read moredefinitely has that. We met her through our wedding venue, Altadena Town & Country Club as a preferred vendor. We are so thankful to have met her because she helped make our wedding extra special by capturing the day beautifully. First, Alexandra has a great personality. She is calm, patient (extremely important on a wedding day), sweet, fun, thoughtful, focused and above all creative!! We feel we got to know her very well over the months that we worked together given that our original wedding date was postponed due to the pandemic. She was every bit of graceful and understanding along the way. Engagement shoot -- We had to reschedule our engagement shoot due to weather conditions and she was flexible and honest about the quality of photos given certain weather/cloud cover. She provided us suggestions on what colors to wear and even helped us make the final call on outfits, which was needed and much appreciated! Wedding -- our wedding photos turned out incredible!! I don't know how her and her assistant Alex did it, but they captured the most perfect and memorable photos for us. It was a very hot day when we got married in August and they were such troppers! They made it seem like the weather was perfect outside. Alex gave us great direction while taking photos and even allowed us at times to be natural, which I believe is what led to such great photos. We definitely needed and appreciated her guidance. At the end of our wedding journey I really felt that Alexandra was like family! If you're looking for a photographer who is easy to work with, talented and will provide you with beautiful, lasting wedding photos.. Alexandra (Kella Photography) should be highly considered!!! Our recommendations to couples -- not just with Kella Photography but any photographer you may choose to use, it is very important to make note before the big day what shots are essential for the two of you to ensure it gets done. We really wanted to have great family & friend photos and our photographers made sure to wrangler the group and make it happen for us. This is quite difficult in general, especially in a pandemic. There are a lot of photographers out there that add filters to images. You know the "pinterest" look. I heavily considered that "look", but after meeting Alex and looking through her website, I realized her photos are classic and timeless which is way better than a filter that will be out of date in the future. I have to make a shoutout to Alexandra's assistant Alex...he went above and beyond for us in many ways throughout the day but one specific incident comes to mind. Given the pandemic I didn't have my bridesmaids at the final dress fitting. In a pinch and to stay on schedule he helped us out with my bustle!! To us... that is not only incredibly sweet but it's professionalism and dedication. Alexandra and Alex were absolutely wonderful photographers and people. We are so grateful to have met them!

My husband and I hired Tracy to take our engagement and wedding photos in 2021. I found her on…read moreInstagram and was immediately drawn to her style. Choosing Tracy was such an easy decision after we chatted with her on a call, and looking back it was also one of the best decisions we made while planning our wedding. Tracy was such a joy to work with and she made us feel so comfortable in front of her camera (my then fiancé and I had never had professional photos taken together!). The memories we made while Tracy took our photos was a treat in itself for us. She made it so fun and easy. Also, we had a micro wedding, so we got our photos back in less than 2 weeks!!! I couldn't believe how fast we got them and how stunning each image was. My husband and I both had so much fun, we've decided that we will take photos with Tracy every year moving forward!
