Allyson was easy to contact and always prompt with her responses. Jill arrived on time and was able to pick out awesome spots for pictures despite never having been to that venue before. Jill made my husband and I feel at ease and super comfortable throughout our shoot. She gave great suggestions and helped us pose for the best pictures possible. Jill definitely prioritized our requests and made sure that we got all of the portraits we wanted. Again, I absolutely recommend Allyson Magda and her awesome team of photographers.

She was kind enough to squeeze us into her busy schedule last minute and capture beautiful photographs without me even knowing she was there. Her genuine personality helped us to feel at ease on such an emotion-filled day and create such natural and loving photos. We can't thank her enough for all of the incredible photographs she took!!

I could not be happier with our choice of Rachel Higgins to do my son's senior portraits…read more From the first moment, Rachel was extremely professional, creative, and incredibly easy to work with. In my son's words, "She is super chill, and I felt comfortable the entire time. She is fun, easy to talk to and she made the day fun." Rachel utilized fantastic angles of my son while also incorporating the landscape of downtown SLO that really brought every picture to life, and all of the final images were amazing! Her use of lighting, composition and her attention to detail were perfect. We absolutely love our son's pictures, and highly recommend Rachel Higgins to anyone looking for someone to capture truly exceptional photography.

Rachel's experience really paid off because she had lots of suggestions and ideas for the photoshoot. And then when our hard drive crashed and we lost all the photos, she made them all available again to us, and with a gentle recommendation to put all the photos on our Google Drive, which I did! Thanks Rachel for everything!

We worked with Shannon for our wedding out in Avila Beach. She had outstanding levels of…read morecommunication and professionalism on getting everything set up. In person she had a phenomenal personality; very friendly and positive. The thing we absolutely loved about Shannon is that she took the typical "staged photographer" out of her photography. It's as if you had one of your long-time friends show up to your wedding and they just had that unparalleled comfortability to coordinate some group pictures and then picture everything as it flows. By no means was it a "stand here and I only want you to look like this" style of photography. Very comfortable, fluid, and natural. It made our day feel stressless and every picture turned out phenomenal.

At the last minute he asked her if he could have his pictures taken at Poly Canyon after we had already met at another location. With ease and exceptance she appreciated his unique idea, and happily and willingly packed up and changed locations. He is a runner and has many of his high school memories in the Canyon. That made him feel empowered and relaxed for his whole photo shoot. Something he thought would be mundane ended up a fun and happy experience for him, and it showed in every shot Tamara took. She really "got" my son and it showed in the images. We could not be happier.

We chose Kirsten to be our wedding photographer later this year. We just had our engagement photo…read moresession recently and OH MY GOSH she is just incredible. First of all, I want to be her best friend. She's so kind, super funny, she matched our banter well and we had so much fun with her. I have never been a fan of being in photos, and when I opened ours I actually cried with how happy I was this them. To make me feel so happy, to capture our little family and our love so well when we're both awkward people, is something so beyond talent, hard work, experience and skill. First of all, I totally forgot about engagement photos. She followed up a little bit after booking with her, and we set a date that was a ways out as my fiance was injured and wanted to wear shoes rather than a rehab boot Then, she asked if I need outfit help. I work a job with a uniform, and have two t-shirts and one pair of jeans that double whammy as my work jeans and nice jeans, so the answer was yes. She asked a few follow up questions to determine what our style is. Within an hour she had made a Pinterest board for us with over 50 pins of outfits for the both of us. It was perfect and thanks to her shopping for this photo session was a breeze. Then the time came for us to be in front of the camera. Kirsten learned very quickly that we avoid cameras But within minutes, thanks to her coaching and prompting, we were able to let our guard down, be silly, have fun and have some wonderfully intimate looking photos. She went above and beyond walking our property, finding nice spots, getting us to loosen up and be comfortable, and she included our pup Maggie in everything she could! When we tried a photo I thought would be cute but wasn't working because the puppy was being a puppy, Kirsten said let me try something, and was able to photoshop the shot for me. So silly but something so kind and considerate of her to do. Can't recommend her enough for her skills and her personality, and I am so excited to have her on our wedding day and will be a loyal customer throughout our life.

She even traveled to the Fresno area for our wedding, which we were so grateful for. Truly couldn't have asked for a better photographer!

Overall: - She is a very professional photographer - She is enthusiastic and fun to be around - She communicates quickly - She listens to preferences/suggestions and integrates them into the photos. As we're generally shy by nature, Rachelle quickly and gracefully put us at ease. Rachelle was delightful to work with and is a talented photographer. I recommend Fox and Plume Photography without reservations!
