Inga put me at ease during our shoot and coached me through the whole process. Her studio space is great--cozy and private.

Taking newborn photos is one of the hardest things to do as a new mom but once we got there she made it so easy. Those photos are so beautiful and I look at them often, even a year later! Recently my husband and I needed some professional headshots done and we returned to Inga! She has all the skills you just need to show up and she'll work the magic.

Lynn just "gets it". I wanted to get professional photos of my boyfriend and I, (we both love…read morephotography and have a ton of pictures of our travels but NONE of us together!). I usually do not like couples/engagement photos! Most of the time they seem too in your face, or gushy/sentimental. We wanted something a little more artistic and "cool" (for lack of a better word). Lynn was picking up what we were putting down if you know what I'm sayin'! She found these really cool locations (places I didn't know existed in LA!). She captured the love and authenticity of us without the cheese factor. I hate when photographers have their own agenda and are super rigid about it. This was not the case here- Lynn had a ton of ideas, but she was also really good at listening and picking up on our vibe and on what we liked. She immediately got the "gist" of who we were. It seems like she is pretty intuitive with people. Overall, an awesome experience. Photos turned out kickass. We love them. They are unique, and they are the authentic "us". I couldn't be happier!

Tara has a real eye for capturing beautiful candid shots of people (and dogs too!)…read more She was very patient with our active toddler and was able to get amazing shots without forcing our daughter to "pose." It was comfortable and easy. From the portraits Tara took, my daughter got an agent and has worked a couple of jobs (hello college fund!). I really credit Tara's expertise in knowing what agents are looking for and doing the right touch-ups, without it looking Photoshopped. Plus, she is super fast. It's so rare to find someone that is patient, nice, affordable and good.

I was so exceptionally pleased at her professionalism, she was on time at the location and ready to work. My son was sort of shy but she was great at getting him to come out of his shell. I would highly recommend this company for all photo shoot needs. Also pricing is very reasonable compared to most. I would definitely utilize her services again.

Our family is growing, and I wanted to capture my girls as they are, before their little brother arrives!

Can't wait to work with her again when my son arrives!

Kaitlin Parry is actually a neighbor of mine. So let's start there. I had seen some of her work…read morepreviously and was already impressed with what I saw. I myself am not an actor or singer. What I am is a fitness professional who was in need of head shots. Being that these were my first head shots I must say. Kaitlin was absolutely phenomenal at making me feel super comfortable in front of the camera. Beyond that, after the shoot was finished she sent me the photos to look over promptly. Together we agreed on a few of the best shots and she then immediately edited and sent them to me. Loved the shots, loved her energy, and simply put, just an overall great experience with her. Thanks Kaitlin, when I need more, which I will...you know I definitely will be back! Justin B

I've never met someone so passionate with such an unbelievably creative and magnificent mind. Her work is a one of a kind. Like Tim Burton, when you see her work, you know immediately, that's one of Lila's! She is not only a stand out photographer amongst the rest but a stand out person as well. She is a pleasure to work with. She is able to put you into the deepest part of her imagination with her articulate direction. Be sure to book your next appointment and create your next work of art with this master mind behind the camera! Love you my dear and so proud of you!!

She felt like one of the gang - so I was very surprised to see the album from the event a month later and realize that the cute little lady having a good time making people laugh and snapping all those photos is actually a damn good shutterbug. She is NOT your run of the mill photog. She's got a very distinct visual appeal. Her pics are a crazy gorgeous. I had as much fun flipping through the album as I did at the party where she snapped 'em. Two big thumbs up.

Elli is amazing!! I had seen her photograph a friend's wedding, and it was exactly what we wanted…read morefor our own wedding. Her work is stunning, and I love her approach to documentary style photography and true-to-color editing. She truly exceeded all expectations. We are still in awe at how perfectly she captured the energy of the whole day plus so many little details. Our friends and family have been raving about the photos too. She really captured everyone so beautifully. We also couldn't believe how many photos she got. I swear she must have some magical ability to be in multiple places at once! She is extremely organized, thoughtful, and such a pleasure to work with. She was very present throughout the whole planning process, and we really appreciated how much time she took to help us think through the timeline for the day and organizing family photos. We had mentioned that we were interested in the possibility of doing some off-site photos at some point during the reception. When she went to scout out the venue, she also found an off-site spot nearby where we could get some nice landscape shots. We ended up getting so caught up during the reception that we decided not to sneak away for the off-site photos, but it was nice to have that as an option and very thoughtful of her to scope it out for us. Since we didn't do the off-site photos during the wedding, I'm especially grateful for the gorgeous photos she took during an engagement shoot. As part of our package, she offered to do a pre-wedding photo shoot with us. We live on the east coast, and she met up with us out here! We walked around one of the national parks and she got some amazing portraits and candids. She did such a great job guiding us. I wanted portraits that looked natural and not super staged, and she was an expert at that. Elli has an incredible gift for capturing not just how things looked, but how they felt. We're so grateful for her and we'll cherish these photos forever.

Highly Recommend Elli as Your Wedding Photographer!…read more We were looking for a wedding photographer who could capture true-to-life colors, authentic emotion, and the fun of the day--not stiff or overly posed moments. Funny enough, I had been following Elli for a while for her food, restaurant, and lifestyle photography before I even discovered her wedding work. Her eye for storytelling, small details, and candid joy immediately stood out, and once I saw her wedding portfolio, I knew she would bring that same magic to our celebration. Since we eloped in Hawaii, we hired Elli (along with an assistant photographer she selected) for 4 hours to photograph our reception. This included a 30-minute portrait session before our grand entrance, and coverage until about an hour before dancing ended. From the very beginning, Elli was incredibly organized, communicative, and thoughtful. She walked us through exactly what information she needed ahead of time--family groupings, key moments, priorities--which made us feel more prepared going into the day. We also met in person about a week before the wedding to scout the location. Even though Elli had photographed at the Presidio before, she still took the time to walk the space with us and make sure the lighting, scenery, and flow matched our vision. That level of care and intention is something that could not be matched. We didn't have a wedding coordinator, and Elli truly went above and beyond to help keep the timeline on track and gently guide things when needed (though don't expect her to replace a planner--she just genuinely cares). She was calm, professional, and confident, which made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera, including guests who normally shy away from photos. Her creative eye absolutely shines in the final gallery. From the vibrant Mexican food to the lion dancing and ice cream truck, every image perfectly reflects the joyful, celebratory energy of the day. Elli somehow managed to capture both the big moments and the quiet, meaningful ones--natural portraits, candid laughter, emotional reactions, and beautiful details we didn't even realize were happening. She delivered well over 1,000 photos in about six weeks, and when my husband and I went through them, we laughed, cried, and relived the entire day all over again. The photos feel timeless, effortless, and deeply personal--exactly what I hoped for when choosing a wedding photographer. If you're a bride/family looking for someone who is professional, organized, artistically talented, and genuinely invested in telling your story, Elli is it. We would absolutely hire her again and recommend her without hesitation. Not sharing pictures on Yelp for privacy reasons, but hop on to her instagram to see them!
