I wish I could give more than 5 stars! We had the best experience with Lucy! She has the best energy who brings the best out for the ones who can be camera shy, who might be their first-time in front of camera, or even for those who just love having photo shoots. She took our engagement photos. I specifically had samples of picture and reference poses. She studied them way before my fiancé and I visited there, which means she was prepared for the look. I am about to ask her for my wedding ceremony picture as well. Due to Covid 19, our couple was worried how we were going to get the pictures taken but by meeting Lucy through Tiara Wedding in Fullerton, our problem has solved. She is on time, professional, very nice, fun, and worked with us at all circumstances. I can't imagine anyone else doing a better job! She remembered every detail from reference photos we shared. She helped us to look the best with every pose and most of all, she made me look thinner haha. Her edits are incredible. I have requested color and both black and white. The lighting and the atmosphere she created is amazing. The studio is not only for wedding but also for little baby - children... at any ages. Parking is behind the building and it is convenient since the entrance is behind the Beach Blvd. Professional - MORE than 5 Stars Notes - Quick and Easy / good at communication. read more

I went to Photo Story on a friend's recommendation for my baby's 100 Day photos and I'm so happy that I did! Lucy was great with text/phone communication and was willing to make a variation to her existing package to fit my needs. Although I ended up changing my mind and went with her traditional package, she was gracious enough to add a few more poses when I wasn't expecting it at all. I actually made the mistake of showing up for the session when my baby was only 15 weeks old, against her recommendation. She recommends making the appointment between 4-5 months(?) so that the baby can hold the poses more easily. At our first appointment my baby was not comfortable lifting her upper body from the floor and could not smile while doing so. We tried a couple poses and she was only getting more fussy as we were demanding her to do things I guess were too advanced for her age. That's when Lucy kindly suggested we come back in a few more weeks when she will be more comfortable in those positions and actually give us some cute expressions, not the grimacing and struggling faces we were getting that day. We ended up returning 3 weeks later and lo and behold, got the poses and smiles to go along with them! Lucy's professionalism and experience with young children really showed during our photo shoot as she expertly handled my baby and did everything in her power to make her smile. I am extremely happy with the photos that she took and glad we were able to capture this precious stage in her development as it's a time we will never get back. It's money well spent and I'm so glad I went to Lucy. read more

We hired Lucy for our 3rd child's dol and she was probably our favorite photographer to work with! She offers many different packages ranging from just the dol/event photography to event plus a number of options for in studio shoot and all of her pricing is very reasonable!! Communication was always very clear through text and emails. She was always prompt in her responses and very thorough in explaining exactly what she offers and how we can prepare for our studio session and event. Studio: Lucy offers her clients several wardrobe changes and different scenes/backgrounds. Her wardrobe selection for the kids are soooo cute!! They're all very unique pieces that have a very Korean/European flair. The wardrobe is also pretty extensive. You honestly don't even need to bring your own wardrobe changes for the kids. She has everything from dresses, hanboks, sweater rompers, headpieces, and footwear! We were encouraged to bring snacks to entertain baby with. But if you forget, don't worry! She's super prepared and has a stash of her own baby puffs for your little ones to enjoy!Lucy also had an assistant the day of our shoot who helped us through wardrobe changes, helped make baby smile, and helped keep baby safe during the shots where she would be standing with support and such! Amazing!! Dol event: Lucy got to our venue before I even got there. She had already taken shots of the table setting, scoped out the best photo spots, figured out best angles for lighting and everything ahead of time so that she's not wasting time during the event! She's very efficient with her time and is so familiar with how dol timing runs. She made sure to manage us wisely in order to get us all the best photos and moments we'd later want to see and remember. One funny but also very appreciated thing about her is that she is not shy about getting on the ground and making all kinds of silly sounds to get the attention of your little ones in order to get that perfect shot! She knows exactly what works and you can tell she's got a lot of experience shooting at events with babies and pure chaos!! I would definitely recommend her for a family photo shoot or something big like an event!! read more

Our family finally decided to get family pictures done and we are so happy we went with Photo Story! The photographer made us feel so comfortable (even my dad who's really awkward in front of a camera). I think they specialize in baby pictures, but the place is great for family pictures for older peeps too! We had two outfit changes and overall the process was relaxed, casual and relatively quick. The photographer never rushed us, made us laugh and adjusted us gently to make us look good (everything you want a photographer to do). Would recommend Photo Story for all your family picture needs! read more

Took family photos for the first time ever here. None of us knew what to expect but the photographer made us feel very comfortable and was very flexible. She helped us pick the best package for our family of 5. We had two outfit changes and she changed up the backgrounds to flatter our outfits. She put our entire family at ease (even our uncomfortable men) and helped us to smile, relax, and laugh. We had a lot of different poses and combinations of people. What I especially liked about her was that she knew what looked good and was very comfortable with positioning us and helping us to angle ourselves in flattering ways and then she would explain why, which helped my parents a lot. She would stop to adjust us and then show us the shots to make sure we liked what we were seeing. Her confidence made me feel very comfortable. She was fun, professional, and fast. She also took photos of different combinations of family members and she let us be our weird selves, which I really appreciated! Definitely will be coming back for all milestone photos like baby photos, parents' anniversaries, etc. read more

We had a wonderful experience with Lucy at Photo Story for our baby's one year photo shoot. Despite her assistant being out sick, she was able to pull out some amazing shots of our stoic little baby who usually doesn't crack a smile in front of strangers. She was very flexible in setting up our schedule, was very understanding of our baby's and toddler's fickle sleeping and eating needs, and very personable. Her packages are also the most diverse I've seen after inquiring a handful of studios and the prices are very competitive. The studio has an array of cute clothing and accessories for the baby and there are many backgrounds/set ups available. Lucy was also great with moving things along and leading the sessions so the kids were still in a good mood when we left. Our photos also came out so great that we have a hard time picking out the photos for the album. I would highly recommend Photo Story and will be returning for our photo needs in the future. read more

I highly recommend Photo Story to anyone looking for professional photographs of their little one or family. My husband and I wanted to do a photoshoot for our daughter's first birthday. I searched many studios around Orange County, and I just couldn't find one that seemed unique or special. However, after meeting with Lucy, we knew that we had found the perfect photographer and studio. Lucy's studio is amazing. It's small but set up perfectly to get a variety of shots. Moreover, we didn't have to worry about choosing clothes for our daughter as Lucy had an entire closet filled with clothes from which to choose. Additionally, Lucy went above and beyond and agreed to not only do a studio session but also an outdoor session at Laguna Beach, which is actually not something she usually does. We did the outdoor session on the same day, and Lucy organized the day so that our daughter would be able to go home to eat and nap before the outdoor shoot. She worked completely around our daughter's schedule. She is wonderful with young kids and really takes their needs into consideration. We never felt rushed throughout the entire proces. The package we chose came with an album and a framed print. The album is amazing!! She worked with us to make sure we were 100% satisfied before ordering it, and that's not an easy task because I am incredibly picky. We could not be happier with our pictures, the album, and the framed print. The pictures seriously look like they belong in a magazine. It was a wonderful experience, and I can't wait to return to Photo Story the next time we want professional pictures. Thank you Lucy for capturing our little one's personality and for the wonderful memories!! read more
