I was so nervous, as it was my first time really out with my newborn... Sara made the whole experience a breeze. I loved sitting back and watching her in her element.

Sara captured such a memorable time in our lives, and I am so grateful!

They have so many outfits, wraps, headbands and props to choose from that you don't have to worry about bringing anything for your newborn. You are in the best hands with Sara!

Based on her portfolio online and Yelp reviews, we reached out to Irma in hopes of booking a…read morematernity photoshoot. She was unavailable at the time, so we (feeling a bit of a time crunch) booked another photographer to do the maternity shoot. Irma still reached out once she was available again and was very apologetic for not being able to get back to us sooner. We informed her that we'd already booked with someone else, but thanked her for getting back to us. Now, fast forward a couple of months. After some nonsense back-and-forth and a last-minute cancellation from the other photographer, we reached back out to Irma in hopes she would be available for the same weekend we previously booked (on short notice, no less). To our (absolute) luck, she was! She booked us for a consultation meeting to get to know us and what we were looking for in our shoot, which is already more than the other photographer did. It was our first time doing anything like this, but she was really patient, making sure to answer all of our questions, and even brought up things we previously hadn't thought of. She also informed us that if we needed dresses or anything for the shoot, she had a closet full of stuff we could use. We did not take her up on that offer, but it's great to have that option available. In the end, we left this first interaction with her feeling great about her and our shoot. The day of the shoot, she met us on location, and we immediately got to work. She brought a pop-up tent to change outfits in, and even a wagon cart to hold all of our stuff! She was incredibily patient, but also really great at directing the photoshoot for two people who don't really like to be the center of attention. She showed us some of the raw shots along the way, and even asked if there were any specific aspects of our location we would like to be captured in the photos. Like the consultation meeting, we left our photoshoot feeling good and excited about what we did. When it came time to choose our photos, we had a really rough time narrowing down the ones we wanted to keep. She was very patient with us through this process, and even provided some helpful suggestions and tips when we were absolutely stuck on a few photos. It's great that her studio has examples of the physical items for us to look at when deciding on what package we wanted. The accordian books are an absolute treasure and perfect gifts for anxious grandparents-to-be! We enjoyed and appreciated this process so much with Irma that we went ahead and booked our newborn photoshoot with her as well. A few months later, we started the process all over again and it was as wonderful of an experience as the first go around. As before, she answered all of our questions, asked for our input on what we wanted out of the experience, and we feel like she really listened to us. Once the day of the shoot came around, she was very deliberate but efficient in the process. Not only was she was very patient with us and our little one (allowing for feedings, changing, time to pass any fussiness, etc), she was also very gentle in how she handled and posed our little one. Unlike the previous shoot, we took her up on her wardrobe options, so she provided all of the outfits and props for the shoot, which was great and very convenient. As you can imagine, the ordering appointment was just as stressful for us as the previous time, as we could not narrow down our "keep" pile of photos. As was the case before, she was extremely patient and helpful throughout the process. As a result, we ended up with a collection of photos we absolutely love. I don't think a few words on Yelp! can truly highlight how much we appreciate and love Irma's work. You can tell she truly enjoys what she does, and as a result, makes the entire process enjoyable for everyone. On top of it all, she absolutely loves the little ones, which makes you feel like your baby is in good hands with her.

Sandy is truly one of the most skilled newborn/family photographers in the bay area! I was lucky to…read morefind Sandy 4 years ago with my first born and the newborn photos ended up being incredible! It was an easy decision to go back to her with our second baby. Here are some of the ways that Sandy truly stood out: - Both our babies were born around Christmas holiday and scheduling was not an issue at all for Sandy. She checked in ahead of the appointment to ensure we didn't need to reschedule (much needed for parents that just gave birth recently) and had our themes ready prior to us arriving. - The themes were 10/10, better than what we could've envisioned ourselves. And our themes were generic such as lemon or Christmas. - The amount of patience Sandy has is seriously amazing! Our second baby was a bit harder to photograph compared to the first, in addition to a toddler who wasn't in the mood for pictures, and it didn't phase Sandy at all. She took her time to make sure she was able to capture each theme well and had tips up her sleeve to get the toddler to take some pictures. I highly recommend going with Sandy if you're considering photo sessions! She goes above and beyond to ensure all the special moments are captured and the pictures are so incredibly worth it.

I'm truly delighted to share my experience working with Sandy! Her communication was wonderful from…read morethe very beginning, from arranging the appointment and customizing the scene setup to sending the photos. Everything went so smoothly. I am really impressed by her talent with infants and children; she was fantastic with my newborn and my 2-year-old. Her ability to craft stunning scenes is also incredible. And when it comes to her photography and editing skills, they are truly outstanding--just look at the edited photos, they're absolutely stunning! You won't be disappointed with Clairbare Studios and Sandy's gift for capturing beautiful, lasting memories of your little ones.

Lily has a calm, easygoing way about her that made it feel much more relaxed than I expected. She guided me without over-directing, kept things moving efficiently, and somehow managed to get a bunch of shots I actually really like (which is saying something). The session itself was quick, but I never felt rushed. She gave me plenty of great options to choose from. I also got the final photos back about a week later, which was a nice, quick turnaround. Lily is warm, professional, and clearly knows exactly what she's doing. I would absolutely recommend Lily Dong Photography to anyone who needs quality photos, especially if you're a little camera-shy like me.

In addition to having images that I felt represent me beautifully, the experience was transformational. I left the session feeling more confident and empowered. If you are looking for someone to capture the REAL you, hire Lily. Like me, you will be so grateful that you did!
