My husband and I are so thrilled we found Alicia. We did a maternity session right before our son…read morewas born, and did a newborn session right after. Alicia is a magician, she made an open field with crazy wind and direct sun look like the most epic background! She has such a great eye for photos, is incredibly flexible when nature or newborns don't cooperate (as ours didn't), and honestly made both shoots really fun. Alicia posed us, made us laugh, and gave us a chance to be ourselves, but best of all she captured photos that I will treasure for a lifetime. Couldn't recommend Alicia more, and will be calling her again and again for family photos

Alicia has been my family photography since my now 8 year old daughter was 6 months old. She has…read morecaptured all my 3 kids special mile stones, as well as family photo sessions each year. Alicia is a talented photographer, also very easy going and pleasant to work with. She never tries to sell you extras, unlike many other photographers. She basically does an excellent job capturing your family photos the way you desire and bring it to perfection with her special talents in photography. I highly recommend Alicia, as I have been for many years.

She's very skilled and talented, and the pictures turned out beautiful. I recommend her without hesitation. You won't be disappointed.

They will be cherished forever. I contacted Shelly Mother's Day weekend last year. Grandpa got a shocking bone marrow cancer diagnosis a couple days before and was going in the hospital that Monday for treatment. Life and looks were about to change dramatically. Things were moving fast, and we wanted to get family pictures. I reached out to Shelly and explained the situation. With no time to go shopping and plan. Shelly was very helpful offering advice on what to look for in our closet. On a rainy, drizzling, holiday Shelly took fabulous pictures. She was quick, which was great because Grandpa didn't have a lot of energy. She captured my parents, my kids with Grandpa, myself with Grandpa, and the whole family. All the pictures captured character and happiness! It was great that we got to see the pictures right away online and print them. It was the best thing for our situation. Shelly is reasonably priced. If you go with her you will be happy with your decision. I can't tell you how much happiness and support those pictures have given my family. These pictures would not have been possible without Shelly. She is not only talented but her willingness to help accommodate strangers in need on a holiday was beyond kind. Thank you Shelly! What a gift you are!

I have officially done two theme-inspired photoshoots with Lyndon. During both occasions, he was…read moreprompt, direct and remained very professional. We contacted each other initially through email, and he was very clear and concise about where and how the shoot should be done. He was also very helpful about directing what to be worn, hair and makeup specifications, and any other helpful information about what to expect. He has a natural ability to create masterpeices with his camera-- between the natural (or available) light, the model, and whatever environment is presented-- without the need to touch-up the photos at all, afterwards. It was a pleasure shooting with Lyndon, and I would highly recommend him-- for whatever photography concepts you have in mind!

Keith was easy to coordinate with ahead of time and always extremely responsive, which made the planning process smooth. Our photographer Robin was excellent. He helped us schedule the day to make the most of our time while still being mindful of the flow. We had a few special requests, like a photoshoot with our dog Bowie on the Embarcadero, and he made it all happen seamlessly. He also planned ahead to capture us at sunset overlooking the Bay Bridge, which turned into one of our favorite shots. We originally chose Robin for his incredible candid photography (since we're not naturals at posing), and we are so glad we did! Even our guests commented on how many wonderful candids he captured. At the same time, he guided us through posed photos when needed and brought a creative vision that went far beyond the basics we had in mind. It's also clear that Robin truly loves what he does - his enthusiasm made the experience even more enjoyable. On top of everything, he delivered our photos back to us in just one week, which is unheard of and so greatly appreciated. It was a lot of fun working with Robin - he was easygoing, professional, and stuck with us through a long day with such positive energy. We would absolutely recommend him and Lynds Photo & Video to anyone looking for wedding photography.

I brought four outfits from home, but ended up borrowing from the studio one amazing piece. Along with shoes and jewelry this studio was stocked. Christina the owner and photographer was so talented. I never felt rushed. She did not seem like she was in a hurry. She made sure I was positioned to be the most flattering and would help me adjust things as needed. Once my session was over, she explained to me the process for getting my album. She gave me options for the cover and let me choose the photos I wanted in the album. Along with that came a flash drive with all of my photos taken on the day. Within two weeks my album arrived at my door and it is beautiful. I would recommend this studio to anyone who might be afraid to do a session like this. I was never uncomfortable and I'm not normally photogenic. This was a great experience!

My medium-sized wedding was in Tilden Regional Park and I strongly desired capturing two things: (1) nature as a backdrop for photos of my husband and me and (2) the guests having a great time.

She also got a lot of hard to capture shots of everyone dancing, laughing, and generally having a wonderful time at the reception. Lastly, she was also punctual, organized, easy to communicate with, and non-intrusive. Highly recommend.

She is also good at making the posed photos look more natural.

Jen was easy to work with throughout the planning process, she was very responsive and helpful in creating the timeline and shot list, and kept everything on track (even though I was a bit late getting to the venue, we still finished with some spare time). She also got our final photos back to us very quickly. We definitely recommend Jen!
