I was looking for a photographer in the Brentwood area as a graduation gift for my niece. She was…read moregraduating high school, and I wanted to make this moment extra special for her. I came across Kree's Yelp page because of how close she was, but what really stood out was her website--the caliber and vibrancy of her photos were incredible. I knew right away she'd be a perfect fit for capturing my niece, both in her cap and gown and in her super colorful prom dress (which I was confident Kree could do justice!). From the moment I reached out, Kree was super responsive and easy to communicate with. The contract was simple and straightforward, pricing was fair and the breakdown of her packages were awesome. and she helped us agree on a time and location that worked perfectly, not far from our house either, which was a huge plus. On the day of the shoot, Kree arrived right on time and immediately made my niece feel comfortable. Since it was my niece's first time being professionally photographed, I appreciated how Kree guided her with poses and gave her direction to bring out her best angles. She was friendly, patient, and made the whole experience fun. We received the edited photos about two weeks later, and they were amazing, better than I could have imagined. Kree truly captured my niece's personality and the significance of the moment. Highlights for me: super responsive communication, an easy-to-understand contract, a convenient location, her friendly demeanor, and of course, the beautiful final photos. Thanks so much Kree!!!

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.

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!

After our baby boy was born, my wife and I realized that amidst the chaos, we never scheduled a newborn photoshoot as we planned. Therefore, we had to find a photographer that had an opening within a week's timeframe, was located within our area, and had fair pricing. Among the photographers we reached out to, Laura satisfied all 3 and was highly communicative and accommodating and made for an easy choice. Ahead of the photoshoot, Laura helped us preplan different poses, accessories, and backgrounds. We had an idea to pose our baby as part of an Asian Dim Sum set with no expectation that Laura could execute it but she encouraged it and got us excited about it. During the shoot, Laura's studio was perfectly set up for our baby and she took precautions as well (facemask, gloves, etc). She was also super adept at swaddling and calming our baby to sleep, so much so that as new parents, we learned some new techniques from her! Laura even accommodated our dog and we were able to incorporate him into a few photos. The photoshoot went very smooth and we felt grateful to have one of the first milestone experiences with our baby. After the photoshoot, we were able to select our favorite ones and Laura made all the necessary edits with a quick turnaround time. We're more than satisfied with our photos and have been very proud to use them in baby announcements and registry thank you cards to our friends and family.

Laura was very responsive to our outreach and scheduled us for a quick appointment considering our special circumstance with our baby's situation. We were very happy with Laura and we plan on reaching out to her for future family shoots!

I had seen…read moreothers do 40th birthday photoshoots and thought it would be such a fun and meaningful way to mark the occasion. While searching for photographers, I found Heather through a friend and saw she was offering a "40 Over 40" portrait experience. After looking through her portfolio on Instagram, I knew I had to set up a call. From our first conversation, Heather was incredibly warm and genuine. You can truly feel how passionate she is about empowering women of all ages, shapes, and sizes to love their bodies and embrace who they are. After that call, saying yes to working with her felt like an easy and exciting decision. Actually, I hadn't originally planned on specifically doing a boudoir shoot. It felt so outside my comfort zone and honestly, something I never thought I'd do. But something in me said, "go for it." And I'm so glad I listened. Was I nervous? Absolutely. But Heather created such a safe, fun, and uplifting space that I was able to drop into the experience fully. She guided me through every pose, hyped me up the entire time, and made me feel confident in ways I didn't expect. Her sweet, bubbly personality helped me feel completely at ease. Throughout the session, she showed me a few previews on her camera, and I was blown away. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she also knows exactly how to bring out your confidence and beauty. I had so much fun that by the end of the shoot, I was honestly sad it was over! Thank you, Heather, for helping me create such a core memory in my 40s. This experience made me feel confident, powerful, and truly sexy in my own skin.

I knew from the moment I saw her work that Christina was going to be the right choice, and she did not disappoint. Tons of positives: - she was easy to communicate and plan with, even when I wanted to switch one of my locations the week of the shoot - she made us both feel comfortable in front of the camera, which is no small task - she was flexible with my ideas, but also brought her own to the table - photos were back even sooner than I'd expected, and were of the quality I'd seen on her website But I think what I liked best was Christina herself. She was extremely pleasant to work with, and treated my casual event with the same professionalism and respect that she would a wedding. She had very positive presence and brought a really good energy and enthusiasm to the shoot. She was a lot of fun and brought out the best in my partner and me. I'm so glad I selected Christina and Nightingale Photography, and she would absolutely be my first choice if I were to need a photographer again. Thank you!
