After our original photographer did a complete no call, no…read moreshow for our newborn son's photo shoot, we were stressed, disappointed, and worried we'd miss those precious early moments. She truly came to the rescue. Not only did she respond quickly, but she was able to fit us into her schedule within just a few days. From the moment she arrived, she was professional, calm, and incredibly patient with our newborn. She handled our son with such care and made the entire experience feel relaxed and enjoyable during what can be a very overwhelming time for new parents. The photos turned out absolutely stunning -- more beautiful than we could have imagined. She captured the sweetest little details and moments that we will treasure forever. Her talent, kindness, and willingness to step in last-minute meant so much to our family. If you're looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and exceptionally talented, look no further. We are beyond grateful for her and would book her again in a heartbeat!

Constance approached me in Rockridge when I was super pregnant at the end of October - she shared…read moreher business card, and I checked out her website. Really liking her style of photography, we scheduled a newborn photo session with Constance at the end of November with our two week old son. Constance was incredibly responsive and professional. Not only that, she is a baby photo whisperer - she had a bunch of helpful suggestions to help our time together go smoothly. She brought a whole bag of adorable outfits and props, and she was happy to let us choose some of our own outfits, too. For this session we decided to stay home and take photos around our house and yard, and they turned out beautifully. We are so pleased with these special keepsakes! Constance also made it easy to review the raw photo collection after the shoot, choose the ones we wanted, and deliver the final files all online. She also offers large size prints! In the future I'd love to do an on-location shoot with our son in the redwoods of Oakland. I already have ideas :) Thank you, Constance!

If you are considering booking Hilary, look no further!

We've had annual family photo sessions with Hilary for the past five years (and even two sessions…read morein one year!), and she has been phenomenal every single time. She's wonderful with our kids--whether it was a newborn, a fussy toddler, or now more cooperative school-aged kids, she's been able to capture beautiful moments through every stage. One year my younger daughter was especially shy and grumpy about photos, but you'd never know it from the gorgeous images Hilary delivered. She's also great with pets and even got our dog to "smile" at the camera for a few shots this year! We included my parents in a session one year, and Hilary handled the larger family group seamlessly. She also has a great eye for locations, whether it's a tried-and-true spot or somewhere new, and she always makes the most of the setting. On top of that, her pricing is very reasonable, especially since you get to keep all the images from your session, and she's always prompt with delivery. Hilary makes family photos stress-free and fun, and the results are consistently stunning--we look forward to working with her every year.

We loved our prior experience and chose…read moreher for a new born photo shoot for our new born daughter too and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the moment we arrived, she made us feel completely comfortable and at ease. Heather was incredibly patient, gentle, and so skilled at handling our baby--which made a huge difference for us as new parents. Her studio was warm, calm, and perfectly set up for newborns, with thoughtful props and beautiful backdrops. She has a true eye for detail and captured the sweetest little expressions and moments that we'll treasure forever. What impressed me most was how professional yet personable she was--taking the time to work around our baby's needs while still creating stunning, high-quality photos. The final images are absolutely breathtaking, and I know we'll cherish them for a lifetime. If you're looking for someone talented, caring, and professional to capture your newborn's earliest days, I highly recommend Heather!

I can't say enough about how incredible Heather is to work with, and how beautiful the results are…read more She was incredibly patient with our newborn, and took so much time and care during the session to create a welcoming environment for the baby and her brother. She worked very closely with us in selecting a flattering color palette and introducing textures that would suit the baby. Her style is very gentle and easygoing; she spends the time to really get to know a family and pays attention to all the details that go into a shoot. When the photos came out, we were truly blown away--they were all so tender and stunning, showcasing not just the miracle of birth, but all the familial love and tenderness. I cannot stop looking at them! We were so delighted that we opted for an album keepsake. I was impressed with how much care and time Heather took making every page perfect, and how she collaborated so well with us. My son is an amateur artist, and she welcomed and integrated all his inputs and built on top of them to create something we will treasure for many years. I wholeheartedly recommend Heather to any family--she is a true artist, and we will definitely be returning to capture more precious moments!

She is helpful with preparing for the session ahead from clothes to must-have shots. She is a brilliant photographer who sincerely cares that you are happy with the outcome and comfortable during the shoot. She has played music for us, made our tornado of a house cleverly look spotless, and even managed to get shots with even our dog looking at the camera. Although I was skeptical at having someone in-home, she nailed it; she is so thoughtful and professional in every way but totally knows how to get silly to keep everyone joyful. I also wasn't sure about shooting in a location that wasn't sentimental, but it truly doesn't matter where you are because she does such a brilliant job capturing the essence of your family and the interactions. The gorgeous scenery is just a bonus. My experience has been that she underpromises and over delivers. A++! Images she has taken adorn our walls, and everyone who visits comments. She is worth it!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Nancy Alcott Baby and Child Photography. Nancy has…read morealways had such a special gift for capturing the sweetest moments with babies and children. Some of my favorite pictures of my kids are ones she's taken professionally, and even some candid ones she's snapped with just an iPhone when they were little. So when I asked her to photograph my daughter's senior pictures, I knew she would do an amazing job--and she absolutely exceeded my expectations! She made my daughter feel comfortable, confident, and completely herself, and the photos turned out BEAUTIFUL. She captured not only how she looks at this stage of her life, but her personality, and it's those little details that make these pictures so special to us. If you're looking for someone to capture your senior's personality and create beautiful, meaningful photos that you'll treasure for years, I highly recommend giving her a chance! She has an incredible eye, a wonderful way with people, and clearly has a talent that goes far beyond photographing little ones. I'm so grateful she gave us these memories, and I'm so happy to see her expanding her business into senior photography because she is GOOD--no, not just good, GREAT at it!

In the era of iPhones I make a point to book this session to have some photos of my daughter that aren't on devices that will eventually end up in a drawer. I treasure the photos Nancy takes. When I get the images back I alway print several and give them as Christmas gifts in nice silver frames. The family loves them! My daughter isn't the easiest to work with but Nancy always manages to get her to open up. I only wish we had known about Nancy's services when Lucy was born! I could look at her sweet newborn photos all day. During our last session we went to the Presidio and it was so much fun. Nancy is very knowledgable about light, setting and poses. You'll never feel awkward working with her because she's kind and thoughtful. She has two young children of her own and that's what makes her especially understanding. I can't recommend Nancy enough and I'm thankful I found her on Yelp three years ago!
