They give honest review about how to pose, the photo background and outfit and great ideas in between! My kids are hard to deal with during photoshoot but they handle it with grace and able to let my kids participate in our photoshoot. All of our photos came back amazing! Vish is great with editing and they're generous enough to re-edited our photos when I requested and give a bonus image when he forgot to edit some of my newborn's pictures. The wait of getting the pictures is a bit long but worth it! Two-thumbs up for their hardwork and skills. I will definitely recommend them to my family and friends and will come back if I needed another photoshoot in the future! 11/10! Wish you the best Vish and Kushali. It was nice working with you both! -Rachel and Family-

Disappointing Maternity & Newborn Photoshoot Experience…read more We had a very disappointing experience across both our maternity and newborn photoshoots. For the maternity session, there was no proper pre-discussion about locations or outfits. We were simply asked to choose from previously taken images, which felt impersonal. During the shoot, the session felt rushed, and the photographer appeared disengaged, as if they wanted to finish early. From a 2-hour session, we could barely select around 10 usable images, which reflects the overall quality. We also noticed technical issues with the camera, including frequent error messages during burst shots. For the newborn session, we had informed them in advance that we would be about 30 minutes late due to our baby's doctor appointment. Despite this, one of the planned props was removed, which felt inflexible given the circumstances. There was also a significant delay of about four weeks beyond the expected timeline in delivering the edited images, without clear communication or accountability. After delivery, communication continued to be frustrating. We received emails indicating additional charges if image selections were not made within 30 days, which felt pressured--especially considering the delay in delivery was on their side. At the same time, when we requested a re-edit for one of the selected images, we had to follow up multiple times and did not receive timely responses. Additionally, some comments made during the newborn shoot were uncomfortable and inappropriate. Remarks about the baby's skin tone and comments regarding the mother's feeding choices were hurtful and unexpected, especially for a one-month-old baby. We expected a much more respectful and sensitive environment. There was also no prior discussion about props for the newborn shoot -- only a couple of setups were pre-arranged, and we felt limited to those options. Similar to the maternity shoot, the overall photography quality did not meet expectations. From a 1.5-hour session, we could barely select around 15 images, and the editing felt very basic, with some images appearing minimally edited. Given our experience, the overall service felt unprofessional, inflexible, and lacking in quality. These are once-in-a-lifetime moments, and we expected a much more thoughtful, skilled, and supportive experience. Also, please don't go based on Instagram followers alone -- our experience did not reflect the expectations set by their online presence. If you are looking for a photographer who communicates well, provides guidance, and creates a comfortable and enjoyable session -- especially with a newborn -- this may not be the right fit.

Nupur is awesome! I came to know about her though a close friend who had recently done her…read morematernity shoot with Polka Dots Photography. To start with, she was very accommodating with our needs, travel time, pricing and just overall flexible around schedule and setting up the shoot. We discussed ideas before the shoot and had numerous message exchange for different poses, styling, hair and makeup. She also drove all the way to Santa Clara for shooting at the spot we picked, which was very generous of her. There are a couple things that are critical for a photoshoot especially one involving a small puppy - comfort, ideas, familiarity and patience. Nupur is exceptional in all these aspects! She also has a great personality which helped us have fun during the shoot instead of 'posing' to get the right angle and expression. My husband is bit camera shy and our small dog is difficult to manage but when we saw the final photographs they were nothing short of magic. We had our pick of 7 amongst the numerous marvelous shots she captured, but she went ahead and provided us few extras which was an awesome gesture. We can't thank her enough for capturing all these precious moments with our furry child and new guest due to arrive soon :)

BOOK HER NOW…read more Oh my god. Nupur is not only an amazing photographer behind the camera, but she is also an incredibly sweet and respectful person without the camera. Since the first moment I contacted her, she has been super tentative, responsive, and patient with all my questions and input. I wanted to try something new and different that I hadn't seen in her portfolio before and she was not only game but was extremely excited and kind about everything. Even before the shoot, we talked on the phone to discuss themes, we texted about different angles, lighting, mood, locations, and wardrobe. I have had many photo shoots (engagement, wedding, individual/family/professional portraits etc) with different photographers, and Nurpur is BY FAR the best in collaboration. We never felt like our ideas were sub par, in fact, every pose or photo that I had selected for inspiration, we actually worked to recreate each look in our own way! We basically fed off each other's creativity and ideas and turn a commercial event into stunning photographic art! She was never pushy and always listening to understand what we wanted and worked VERY hard to get us nothing short of perfection. She's so talented at capturing the types and kinds of photos we wanted that even the unedited, straight off the camera pictures with the silhouetted looks were near perfect! I am just beyond ecstatic with our experience and seriously COULD NOT HAVE ASKED FOR MORE. The final photos were just jaw dropping and they are exactly as I had imagined and hoped for them to be. We are so grateful and thankful we found Nurpur to help us document this next chapter in our lives. Helped me feel beautiful and gorgeous in this scary, new, stage of pregnancy. And most of all, helped me capture a truly personal and unique set of photos that represent the multiple aspects of my cultural identities.

Her energy level during the photo shoot is contagious. Her creativity, positivity and warm vibes reflect in the final version of the photographs.

She really goes above and beyond to scout perfect locations (I wanted to shoot at two, and her suggestions for what I wanted were spot on) and the dresses she provides are beautiful. I was a little worried about both fit and changing while very pregnant, but she made this super easy by bringing a changing tent and many dress options, and was so helpful in choosing/styling/advising. She clearly pays attention to what your preferences are based on the questions she asks in advance. I am a bit camera shy, and my husband is extremely camera shy, but Tina made us all feel beautiful and at ease -- including my little dog, who she magically got to look at the camera. :) Her attention to detail is impeccable, thank goodness, because I can't normally pose for the life of me. I'm basically the opposite of a model! I wouldn't hesitate to work with Tina again for any occasion!

She was flexible when we asked for a different photo location (stanford cactus garden), but also knowledgeable when letting us know there was risk in getting asked to leave if we weren't alumns. She still had backup plans for what we could do if that happened during the session. during the photo session, bianca and her assistant were working with some difficult material (us), but got the best out of us by making us feel more comfortable and confident. regular people don't know how to position themselves well for photos so it was so helpful that Bianca has a proactive and enthusiastic assistant who was directing us and making us feel at ease so we looked less stiff and awkward. Her assistant, Diane, was very meticulously checking if we got all the different poses necessary, and finding ways to create nicer shapes with how my wife's leg would be angled, or how we'd look better with nuzzled heads together. they were quick to encourage and capture natural moments like when we started laughing after i sneezed while trying to be posed. so happy with the end results and looking forward to doing newborn shoots with her next!

Prior to hiring Lacey I was impressed with the work I'd seen of hers from previous clients. I loved the quality of light that's reflected in all her shoots, be they in or outdoors.

I've now seen the photos and decided to upgrade our package so we have access to them all as they're all so amazing! I definitely plan on hiring Lacey again in the future, she was a joy to work with and us such a pro!

She has done everything from, fun "glam" shots, to holiday photos and she has even done multiple pet sessions of my dog Rally! What I absolutely love about Lacey is her ability to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera; and I hate being in front of the camera! She gives you direction on where to look, how to pose and is extremely creative. The end result are photos in which you look like a model who grew up in front of a camera. As I have mentioned, Lacey has done multiple pet sessions with my dog Rally and I am always impressed by her ability to get the shot even if my dog might be refusing to stay still for the picture. In addition, my dog naturally has a worried looking face but I swear Lacey can make my dog smile! While I do not have kids, I am fortunate enough to have seen Lacey work with children of all ages, and let me tell you.... they are drawn to her. She is able to get the most stunning pictures even with the grumpiest of little ones! What are you waiting for? Book Lacey for your next photo shoot or gig! You're in good hands and you will not be disappointed!
