Tiffany took the time to get to know us during a wonderful pre-photoshoot call, where she offered brilliant wardrobe/hair/makeup advice and recommendations. During the session, Tiffany's care, kindness, and professionalism blew us away. Being pregnant makes it tough to stand for long periods, but she anticipated our needs completely. She provided thoughtful accommodations so I could rest, never rushed us, and remained incredibly patient and encouraging. Tiffany even had snacks and water on hand, ensuring we felt completely supported and comfortable every single second. To top off an already flawless experience, Tiffany sent us the sweetest, most thoughtful gift for our baby. The final pictures are exceptionally high-quality, beautifully touched, and captured our moments perfectly. If you are looking for stunning photos and an unforgettable, deeply caring experience, Tiffany is simply the best!

Listen, I never thought I was "model" beautiful. My friends put me in a competition as a joke, and…read moreone of the awards was a photo shoot with Marco. Oddly enough, I won. Marco was my very first professional shoot, EVER (as an adult). I was afraid. Self conscious. I had no clue what to do, what to wear, how to act... nothing. Yet, he found a way to make me feel special. He also knows everyone who is someone because he is kind-to-his-core. Whether you're in California or New Mexico or somewhere in-between shooting with him: he knows someone who can help you with hair, make-up, and those folks usually know where all the dope clothing is at. He makes a team around him everywhere he goes because he is gravity!! His prices are worth the outcomes. I've shot with him 4 times in total. One was for my boyfriends-eyes-only, so I will not repost those pictures. His rates vary based on how many outfit changes, location changes, and hours you want. His team of people who help with hair and makeup are a separate cost. However, the reason he gets 5 stars is because he knows how to make you smile, help you get over your ego, your doubt, and brings out the BEAUTY in you. All while insuring you are beyond comfortable-- this is a must when you're near naked in some shoots. The kicker: HE DOESN'T HAVE TO PHOTOSHOP YOU! A good photographer shouldn't have to photoshop you. He knows his lighting, the sunset, his cameras, and will origami himself every shape, up a ladder, around a car, on a busy street, smashed between classic cars all to get the perfect YOU. If by chance he is working with Lucy (hair/MUA) in ABQ, than you're hair/makeup worries will fade away-- and you'll glow!! I never thought I was beautiful till I saw what he saw. Till he flipped the unfiltered photos over to show me, "look see?" His beauty inspires your own inner beauty and I CANNOT wait till his October 2020 trip to New Mexico for the boyfriend and me to do a "Yoko/Lennon" bed inspired shoot d with him. I mean... look at my face in these photos, you can tell he was both directing me while making sure I felt safe, human, and humored! 10/10 everyone should get a photo shoot with him... You'll be shot in beauty, in a moment in time, por vida!!

As someone who is a photographer, I'm pretty critical of people who call themselves a…read more"photographer". Over the years I've seen horrible composition, bad focus (usually written off as "soft focus"), and just poor quality. Seriously, I've seen some really bad images from people over the years. This is why when I find someone that really stands out from the crowd, I'll give props where they are due. Marco is one of those guys. Having worked along side of him for multiple years, he's definitely a REAL photographer's photographer. His artist eye, attention to detail, and fine-tuned skill really stands out in a sea of wanna-bes. One of the things that really shies, is his ability to work with models. He's got one of those rare eyes that not only knows how to position someone to capture their best side, but their personality, as well.That's a very rare quality in this industry. Bottom line? I'd hire Marco in a heartbeat, and you should too!

I'm so glad I found her! Not only did everything about my photo shoot exceed expectations, but I walked out with memories that will last a life time and highlighted a really magical moment in my life. I never knew I could look so good! Natasha truly has a gift when it comes to photography and capturing precious moments. I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience with Natasha or recommend her enough! She has a gift with photos, lighting, and capturing moments, and has great, warm, maternal energy about her and truly makes you feel comfortable. I'm normally shy, but Natasha walked me through every step and it such a breeze, my nerves were instantly gone. She shows you how to pose and really knows what looks good on camera. She also provided and handled all the wardrobe choices/options, which made the photo shoot a straight forward experience and took out any added stress. She really guides you through every step. I would go back to Natasha, and her husband, Costa, again and again. The quality of their pictures really speaks for its self, and are like none other I've seen.

From start to finish, he was professional, thoughtful, and so talented at capturing genuine moments. Our pre-wedding shoot felt completely effortless -- Jim gave us just the right amount of direction to bring out our natural selves (and even included our dog in such a sweet way), so the photos feel authentic rather than posed. On the wedding day, he somehow managed to capture every meaningful detail and emotion while blending seamlessly into the background. The photos are everything we hoped for and more, and we know we'll treasure them forever. We couldn't recommend Jim more highly to anyone looking for a photographer who brings both artistry and genuine care to his work.
