This includes newborn, 3 month, 6 month, 9 month and one year photos. So far she's done the first three (my baby is now 7 1/2 months old) and I freaking LOVE all the photos I've received so far! Jillian was flexible and knows perfect locations for photo sessions. For our newborn session, she came to my house (if a newborn photographer doesn't do this, don't hire them. New moms should not be traveling!) and was patient throughout the whole session. The three month photos were also at my home, and the six month photos were at a nearby park that she's familiar with. I can't wait for the next two sessions! If you live in the Bay Area, hire her. You won't be disappointed. She's fun, has lots of props and clothes for babies, and has a great eye. Plus she will get your kids and babies to smile. That's a gift right there, seriously. I wish I'd gotten professional photos done of my son when he was born in 2011. I'm so grateful that he was included in some of our daughter's newborn shots - better late than never! I will definitely be hiring her for future family sessions.

Jillian did amazing work taking my newborn son's photos. She was exceptionally patient and…read morecommitted to getting great poses and photographs, something no easily accomplished with newborns. We were thrilled with the end result! More so, I can testify to Jillian's commitment to excellence; she assured me if for any reason we were not absolutely ecstatic with our photographs she would be more than happy to provide a complimentary shoot until she met with our satisfaction. After having a series of disappointments with other photographers, I can safely say Jillian has restored my faith in the profession. I will be more than happy to hire her in the future as my family grows and will encourage others to do the same.

I first learned of Brittany through Facebook as several of my friends had liked pictures she…read moreposted. The pictures were ethereal and as I was in my third trimester of pregnancy, I was looking for a newborn photographer. I contacted her through FB messenger and she got back to me quickly to set up a date. She was very helpful in coordinating what my family should wear, tips for bringing the baby to the session and asking what types of backgrounds/shots we were interested in. She wanted us to feel 100% prepared. The main thing while working with her, we never felt like we were being rushed. She took her time, was incredibly patient with the baby and my two crazy older boys, and worked a shot until she felt it was perfect. She has a passion for family that can be seen in each picture. She caputured some truly beautiful moments that my family will forever treasure. I would definitely recommend her if you are looking for beautiful, natural, and heart warming photos! In a nut shell: easy contract, easy payment, quick correspondence, friendly, reasonable and well worth it investment. She delivered the product earlier than estimated, super sweet and easy to work with, collaborative and above all a professional and talented photographer! I would definitely recommend her to my family and friends and I can't wait to see her next year for Olivia's 1 year pictures/ updated family pictures!

I received professional quality photos of all my guests, decor, and special moments. She was also nearing 9 months pregnant at the time and such a trooper! My husband, 10 month old baby and I just did a family shoot with Brittany and we couldn't be more pleased. The booking process was great. Quick responses, flexible schedule, and really accommodating to the locations I had in mind. The day we planned to shoot ended up being a rainy day and she easily rescheduled to the following weekend. Again, our photos are beautiful and priceless. We got 10 sneak peaks within 24 hours which was so fun!! We also got the rest of our photos quickly which I was really pleased about. We'll definitely be using Brittany again!

They really make you feel like they are just as happy to be apart of your special day as you are having them- which is very touching.

They really listen to everything you want & try to match exactly what you are looking for. These 2 are the most patient people I've ever met...they did my daughters one month pictures & it took over 7 hours thanks to my uncooperative little princess & you never heard a peep out of them, roll of the eyes, nothing!! All they kept saying was "take your time" "do what you need to do". They are more than accommodating. So accommodating I couldn't decide which location I wanted to do my maternity shots at so they suggested we do both & we did!! One in the morning & one in the evening. They are so reasonably priced & you get waaaaay more than what you pay for. As far as timing goes to get your edited pictures, they have had all of ours done & fully edited within 48 hours & one set there was about 170 pictures!! They will always & forever do all of our photography needs!!! Thank you guys for capturing perfect moments frozen in our lives to forever go back & remember!!

It's clear they put a lot of thought and care into making sure every couple's experience feels customized and stress-free. Their communication and professionalism stood out to me from day one. They're very responsive and flexible - qualities that mean so much when you're planning something as important as a wedding. One thing that's worth mentioning is if you're booking through one of the wedding venues they're contracted with, the discount they offer is absolutely unbeatable. It's an incredible value for the level of quality, attention, and service you receive. Even when circumstances changed, they were so understanding and professional about it, which says a lot about their integrity as a business. I'd absolutely recommend them to any couple looking for a trustworthy, family-run photography team that truly cares about your experience from start to finish!!
