Jessie has a rare gift: she makes you feel seen before she ever picks up the camera…read more I came to Luminous Space for personal branding photography, not entirely sure how to show up or what I wanted the images to say about me. Jessie held the whole thing with such steady presence that the uncertainty dissolved quickly. She asked the right questions, created real ease in the space, and then got out of the way and let the session breathe. The editing is exceptional. The final images are honest and alive, not overproduced. They look like me on my best day, which is exactly what this kind of work requires. If you are a founder, practitioner, or creative who needs photographs that actually carry your essence, Jessie is the real thing.

Buyer beware. The shoot went fine, but the photo I got out of it was not…read more First of all, note that she only releases *one* photo to you--one raw and one edited version! This is not at all clear from the website marketing, which states: * Photos Taken: 30-50 images * Retouched Images: 1 professionally edited photo (selected on-site) Apparently you also get only 1 raw image, though this is not stated. You have to immediately go through a lengthy three-phase process to choose that photo --no consulting with friends/partners. Okay, so maybe I should have found the fine print, but it turns out "professionally edited" means "created by AI." It generated an image that looks like a 25-year-old digital avatar of me, quite different from the original photo. The website also claims that "We offer 2 rounds of free revisions," but I have not received a response a week after asking for one. So, I'm using the raw image, which is fine.

I came here to get my passport photos taken. I was told it is $15.99 for 2 physical photos or…read more$25.99 for digital photos. Since I was renewing my passport online, I asked for the digital photos. The nice man let me use the mirror to make sure my hair was how I liked it, and then took a few headshots. What was uncomfortable for me was that his dog was in the store and kept licking my knee while I was sitting for the photos (1 star off). I have never seen pets roam free in a place of business. The photos were okay -- they fit the right dimensions required by the U.S. Passport Service. There were two photos that I sort of liked, and ultimately chose one of the two. The man told me they would be e-mailed to me. After I got home, I only saw one photo in my e-mail. When I asked for the second one, he said $25.99 is for only 1 digital photo, so I felt kind of ripped off (1 star off)...why would 1 digital photo cost more than 2 physical photos? I should have just had a friend take a digital photo for me in front of a white background with my phone. The process was fast for sure, but maybe too fast. $25.99 for 5 minutes and you only get 1 photo.

This particular type of photography was out of my normal comfort zone and Tiffany made me feel at ease the whole time. Tiffany prioritizes spending time with clients before, during, and after the photo shoot to make sure that she is able to capture your vision and deliver photos that exceed your expectations. During the pre-shoot consultation, she spent time discussing what types of photos I wanted to capture and she provided helpful guidance on how I could prepare (and what to consider in clothing choices) to have the best shoot possible. Onsite during the shoot, she worked efficiently to capture as many photos as possible, while still taking the time to connect and help me feel at ease. And within a relatively short timeframe after the shoot, she scheduled time to review and help walk me through the process to select the photos for my package. The hardest part was narrowing down photos since she captured so many different options that I loved for different reasons. I hope to work with Tiffany again in the future.

Tiffany is not only a FANTASTIC newborn and family photographer, but she is also an INCREDIBLE…read morewedding and engagement photographer... My obsession with Tiffany started when she captured our engagement photos in Moss Beach.  I had a specific picture I had envisioned and obsessed about, and like a bad client I didn't tell Tiffany.  When I got back my pictures, there it was!  I knew from that day on I would never use another photographer. When it came to us picking a photographer for our destination wedding in Palm Springs, I felt a gravitational pull towards Tiffany, and she didn't disappoint.  She made the booking portion very simple and easy.  I sent her a list of shots we wanted and she pretty much captured everything I could even think of, and more.  She leaned into our moody "old Hollywood" look.  She worked our 200+ wedding like she'd been doing it for decades.  She works with light like a master artist.  What comes out at the end will absolutely blow your mind.  And on top of it all, she's a lot of fun to work with and makes you feel so comfortable.  I honestly wanted her to stay the entire wedding as a guest because I felt so close to her after our journey together. .... And thank God she has a sense of humor because when I wanted to do a funny gender reveal, newborn shoot for our new puppy, Frankie, she was all in!! She was even able to swaddle our 9 week only puppy! My husband actually said, when we were looking to book a photographer for our wedding, that he only wanted to work with Tiffany.  That's when I knew she would be apart of our lives forever.  I'm pretty sure 99.9% of the pictures framed in our house are all taken by Tiffany.  Tiffany captures the stuff that dreams are made of.  Thank you Tiffany for being apart of our big moments and giving us the greatest gifts, our memories live and in living color (or moody and in black and white when the occasion arises).

He decided to be a real two-year-old. He was A LOT! Our photographer, Chung, had the patience of a saint. I didn't think we'd get any good photos!
