Having a 5&1/2 month old, we were very nervous to see how it would go, but Rachael went above and beyond to make it such a memorable and fun experience for us. She worked amazing with our baby girl & even sang along with us to "twinkle twinkle little star" to get her playful and smiling! Photos can always feel a little nerve wracking, but Rachael eased our minds right away with how calm and professional she was. She put us into so many great poses and we are obsessed with every photo she delivered. I highly recommend her & we already can't wait to book with her again! Thank you so much Rachael!

As good as it gets !!! 5 STARS in my book !…read more My bf and I decided to do our first couple's photo shoot to celebrate our anniversary and decided on 'Amy Doan Photography.' From the get-go Amy was professional, organized, accomodating, and a delight to work with. She made our first experience effortless and very comfortable. I get really nervous and shy when taking professional shots. This was a challenge, but Amy really made the experience relaxing, fun, and enjoyable. She gave us ideas of where to have the photo shoot and we eventually decided on a picnic theme at a local park in Del Mar. She also informed us ahead of time of the attire and colors to wear. Since it was outdoors and springtime, we decided to have a pop of color. I wore a tangerine dress and my bf wore a more neutral white collard shirt and jeans. Whenever I had any questions and/or concerns she was quick to respond and was always open to hear my suggestions. With all the information that she provided, I felt more and more excited and confident about the photo shoot. The day of the shoot was a 'magical' experience. We met at a specific time and she provided a lot of the props: flowers, luggages, coke bottles, picnic blanket, etc. I also was able to contribute a picnic basket. She also had an assistant who helped with the lighting. He was also a delight to work with and very easygoing. Amy has a very creative mind and she knew right off the bat what she wanted out of the photo shoot. I loved her photographic style. It's not over the top or harsh, but the complete opposite. He pictures are very subtle and natural. It also has an old school timeless/vintage look and the quality is raw and true to life. Her pictures tell a story, which I appreciate. Two hours of shooting flew by and I was more than happy and confident with the shots taken. I really felt that she captured the beauty and essence of our relationship through her lenses. You can feel the emotions through her photos and that takes a special photographer to capture that. We were more than impressed with the outcome. Most importantly, I can tell that Amy loves what she does and it shows through her work. Her passion and hard work are what sets her apart from other photographers. She is genuine and dependable and we really felt at ease throughout the whole process. I would definitely recommend 'Amy Doan Photography' !

We needed photos snapped to be displayed at our engagement party and reached out to Amy for help. She was so gracious and welcoming to our ideas. She met us at Balboa Park on an early Sunday morning before the crowds came. Amy was so easy to work with as she made both my fiance and myself feel comfortable during the whole shoot (despite it being the first time both of us were doing a photo shoot). She knew exactly where to go for the best shots and just allowed us to act natural through out the whole shoot. I asked her how she knew where the best shots were and she told me she showed up about 2 hours earlier to scope out the location (extra points there). Despite her mentioning that she already shot there previously, she still came early to scope out the location again. She even brought props for us to use that we were not expecting which made it even more fun and allowed us to be comfortable. From a guy's standpoint, standing there and posing is not something we do naturally. Amy had ways to allow myself to relax and capture moments and not pictures. She highlighted our personality and style beautifully and I would recommend her for any of your photography needs. The engagement pictures came out great! THANK YOU AMY!!!!!

If I could give Amanda 100 stars I would. I knew from the initial email and conversation that…read morehiring her for our wedding would be one of the easiest decisions. I love that she treats her clients like friends right from the start - so to say she is friendly is an understatement. She was quick to respond to all our questions, and worked with us on moving our wedding with no charge. She came to see the property the day before and even thought it was the first time meeting her in person, I felt like we had been friends forever and I was just seeing her in a long time. On the day of she was AMAZING. She not only took the best photos, but worked with the videographer (who she had never met) seamlessly. Because my husband and I felt some comfortable with her, our pictures turned out stunning. I also love that she was giving us little tips throughout the day, she's been to tons of weddings and knows, so at 8 when dancing started, I loved that she reminded me to go dance with my husband and family (instead of talk to everyone) so they can get some fun dance floor pictures and these are a beautiful work of art. She delivered the sneak peeks within A WEEK and it wasn't just 10 photos it was 45 photos! Then send delivered the rest of our gallery before the end of the month!!! I though I was going to have to wait a while to see all the photos but I was crying at how beautiful all the pictures were in no time. If you are looking for someone to capture your family in the best pics ever, you have found the right place and should not even think twice about hiring Amanda. I can't wait to shoot more photos with her. I wish I could post all 1,000+ photos for you to see but I can't so here are a few if the above didn't convince you enough.

I've never had professional photos taken with a significant other before and I was a bit nervous, but reached out to her for our engagement shoot and possibly our wedding as well. She was very enthusiastic but also forthcoming from the start about her style and philosophy of wedding photography, but when we met with her on Zoom, I knew I wanted to book her! My (now) husband was happy if I was happy. ;) We did our engagement shoot at one of our favorite locations, Coronado Beach, and it was really fun! We had a bit of a rocky start due to some personal challenges the day of our shoot, but Amanda was kind and flexible with us and caring about our needs that day. She made us feel very comfortable right away and it was just really FUN!! I loved how our photos were shot very natural and not all posed like. We got some really really gorgeous beach photos and I think she really captured the love AND the silliness we share. The sneak peak came really quickly, and then the entire gallery was so special. Our Balboa Park wedding was 2 1/2 months after our engagement shoot and we had a wonderful experience with Amanda and her assistant that day. Amanda joined my bridesmaids and I while we were getting ready, and she didn't bat an eye when we were being very ridiculous and silly. She rolled with it and those laughing and "awkward" photos are some of my favorite pics from the day! I'm so grateful for the wonderful way that Amanda captured our wedding day. Getting married during Covid was so challenging, but our wedding day was perfect and she was an ideal photographer. Thank you, Amanda, and I'll have to think of a reason for you to document our love again in the future!
