I'm so glad I had Yelp to Help! Pratik was the consummate professional. He was clear, polite, responsive and very prompt.

I chose him based on his great reviews, reasonable cost, proximity to the event, and especially on his beautiful online pictures. Our 50th reunion was a smashing success and Pratik's photos helped us to preserve the memories! We highly recommend this photographer.

This review has been a long time coming. Lori is phenomenal! She captured my wedding in June of…read morethis year and I was so grateful to have found her through my venue's list of preferred vendors. She was shocked that I hired her having only looked at her portfolio, but I knew from the photos she had of another wedding at my venue that she would do a great job. And after our initial conversation I knew she would be perfect! She's a professional through and through. I appreciate her working with my husband who is camera shy and managing to document beautiful moments with our chaotic (but sweet) families. I know we made her nervous because we were pretty laid back and I am so appreciative she kindly made us take certain photos even though we said they were not important. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Her studio had every prop you can imagine and she made sure we were always on the same page on poses and props that we liked. Her attention to detail is also immaculate. She was extremely patient with our newborn and never rushed us when we needed to feed or change diapers. She was also fantastic with our toddler and made the photoshoot fun for her even when she wasn't always cooperative. We love all of the pictures and can't recommend Lori enough!

If you are looking for an AMAZING family photographer, look no further.

I've already recommended her to several friends--and will continue to do so. I reached out to Xinlei in a bit of a panic, hoping to capture newborn photos at home. Thankfully, she was available and offered a wonderful "Watch Me Grow" package that included sessions at newborn (added fee), 6 months, and 12 months. I really wanted newborn photos in our home so we could include our two dogs and remember this special chapter--bringing our baby home to our San Francisco house. Like any new mom, I was overwhelmed. The day of the shoot was pure chaos--baby had a blowout, peed on the bed, skipped her nap, and I wasn't fully ready when Xinlei arrived. But Xinlei was so calm, patient, and reassuring. She made us feel completely at ease, even when everything felt messy. I genuinely thought there was no way we got any good photos from that session. But when the gallery came back, I was blown away. The photos were stunning. They beautifully captured our new family--full of warmth and love. You'd never guess how hectic that day really was. The 6- and 12-month shoots were just as smooth. Xinlei was consistently kind, creative, and patient--and the photos were incredible every time. I've received so many compliments, and I can't wait to work with her again. If you're even thinking about booking her, do it. You won't regret it! Also her pricing is very reasonable!!

As a new mom, who delivered 5 weeks early, I was disappointed not to have had a chance for a maternity shoot and overwhelmed trying to research accommodating photographers whose work I loved. After 3 months with a preemie we were finally ready and Xinlei was recommended by a close friend. She was amazing!! We selected her "Watch Me Grow" package that included sessions at newborn (she allowed us to do this at 3 months), 6 months, and 12 months. I really wanted my daughter's photos in our home so we could include our puppy and the brand new home we had just moved into. On zero sleep, still struggling to "feel like myself", realizing I had only selected outfits for the baby, and forgetting to eat... Xinlei was exactly who we needed. She came with bringing baked goods from Paris Baguette for my husband and I (hangry husband would not make for a good shoot! Haha), loved on our attention-starved puppy, and was so patient when our daughter feel asleep / had to take a milk break in the middle of the shoot. We laughed the whole time, got to know each other, and all felt so at ease! She even included my mother who was visiting in a few photos - something so special to us. The gallery (for all our sessions) blew us away. The photos were beautiful, captured our growing little family... and she even included a few fun blooper pictures (a given with a newborn, 6m, or 1 yr old) for laughs! We also looked forward to our sessions. Xinlei is so thoughtful, patient, and deliver beautiful quality work. I would highly recommend!!

He took my first professional photos ever for when I started my own business and they were exactly what I was looking for.

DO NOT USE FERN. Fern cheated my family out of several photos. She's very unprofessional and will…read morenot return any emails once she has your money. We hired her to do a 4 family photo shoot and when she sent the gallery she had 6-8 shots each of the other 3 families but only provided 2 shots of my family. She would not return any of my emails asking where the other shots of my family were. During the shoot she just stood there pressing the shutter while we did all the work of gathering the family and kids and positioning/posing ourselves. Because we couldn't see what she saw through the camera we didn't know there was awkward spacing in the group shot or that our parents weren't in the center of the shot and she didn't bother letting us know. We were really unhappy with the washed out results. She's on the expensive side and even more so when she cheats you out of several photos.

Not only did our family…read morephotos turn out incredibly beautifully, the photo shoot was also a great bonding time for my family :) It was my family's first time ever doing a family portrait, so we were unsure about certain details like the location and outfits. Thankfully, Fern was tremendously accommodating to my family's opinions, and with her help we were able to pick a great spot and well-coordinated outfits. During the photo shoot, Fern's friendliness and sense of humor made the process all the more enjoyable. She suggested many different and fun poses, and we all laughed together over some of our funnier candid shots. She let us take the direction as well, switching up combinations of family members and letting us take multiple shots to get the perfect one. After the photo shoot, Fern frequently contacted us about the status of our photos, and we received the pictures in a timely manner. And gosh we LOVED how our pictures came out!! I couldn't get over how natural we looked in the photos, as if we weren't even posing at all. All our emotions came through genuinely, and nothing looked forced or contrived in any way. I hope that we can see Fern again for another occasion. As you can guess, I'm extremely happy with my experience with Fern. Now my family has so many wonderful pictures to look back on this lovely day!

During our pregnancy photo shoot she made me truly feel glowing beautiful confident. She has creative ideas and provides the perfect direction. Now 5 years later with two kids she does such a great job keeping the little ones engaged - from doing silly faces to help break it up for them, to letting them see the camera so they feel involved.

Looking for a wedding photographer?? Look no further, and just contact Anna!…read more We absolutely loved all the photos that she captured for our special day at The Gardens at Heather Farm. She was easy going and kept the photography process simple and fun. She worked with our tight schedule without any stress, even when some things didn't go according to plan (ie. people not showing up at the right spot/time). We truly appreciated how prepared and creative she was, knowing what photos to take and where to take them. And whenever there was a random group photo being taken by a cell phone, she would magically appear and take an even better photo for us. Amazing! We will definitely reach out to her if we ever need photography services again. Thank you so much, Anna!

If I could give Anna more than 5 stars I would because she deserves it!…read more We worked with Anna to do our engagement photos and for the day of our wedding. For the engagement photos, this was back in November 2023. She was already there when we arrived. Zach and I both felt so awkward and nervous since this was our first photo shoot, but Anna worked her magic and did her best to help us relax for the entire session. She's also a dog person so I was overjoyed that our dog was able to join us in these photos. After we saw the amazing engagement photos, I knew I had to secure her for our wedding day. Her response time is great as well; she will let you know when she is out of town and how long/when to expect a response from her. Our wedding was in mid-July 2024. Anna was there early again to scope out the wedding venue and checked in with both Zach and I the entire event. When I was having trouble walking in my dress, she was quick on her feet to help me. We had a long list of photos we wanted with family and she was able to organize everyone in a timely fashion. We only saw a snippet of the wedding photos, but I already know that the rest will turn out wonderfully. Anna is super friendly, approachable and such a sweet and kind person. She has a professional demeanor that is also very open, honest and fun. Working with her both times has been a wonderful experience. I highly recommend Anna for anyone that wants their special moments captured. I look forward to working with her in possible future photo shoots :) Thank you so much Anna! You are amazing!!
