As someone who has never done a professional photo shoot by myself let alone with my dogs, I was pretty nervous but Stevie made me and my fur kids so comfortable!

I've had the great pleasure of working with Jerrick from Three16 Photography for three separate…read moreoccasions. So we know it's not a fluke. His work is just that incredible. I understand that his bread and butter is for wedding photography, and those are gorgeous. However, we used Jerrick for our event photography and I have never seen anything better. Truly. Jerrick has had the difficult task of shooting our events, often with 400+ individuals. We give him the vague and important directions of: please capture the vibe of the event. Awful directions. I know that. But I care less about certain moments and certain faces, and I want photos that capture our world. Our impact. Our community. That's hard. That's not, stand here and pose here type of photography. My five-year-old with my iPhone can do that. Jerrick has to photograph a vibe. I don't know how he does it, but he does it every time. And he brings us to tears. Happy tears. I also want to note something else about Jerrick's work that is often overlooked in this industry and I think it deserves to be mentioned. All too often, when a photographer edits their photos to give a bright edit, it ends up lightening skin color as well. As a Latina working with a population of almost all individuals of color, with varying skin tones, it is important that we find a photographer that celebrates our culture, our community, AND our skin tones without making everyone look the same. I have yet to find a photographer who honors our skin tones with the integrity that Jerrick has, while STILL giving us the light, bright photo-edit that we love. Jerrick's work tells a story. And what is so phenomenal to the client, is that you realize that Jerrick is telling YOUR story. Not how he sees it. Not his edited version. Just YOUR story, exactly as it is. In all its beautiful nuanced colors. Please book this artist today.

We also used Three16 for our engagement photoshoot and WOW, they are photos we will treasure for ever. We got the photo booth package and that was a BIG hit with our family and friends. On the day of our wedding, Jerrick and Alex were incredible in so many ways. We appreciate all the fun they had with us and the moments they were able to capture. We felt so safe and comfortable guiding us through the wedding day process. They constantly checked in with us and made sure we were laughing and having a good time. We are truly so blessed to have worked with them for our wedding. Victoria and Josh

From the very beginning, they were fantastic communicators, helping me with everything from choosing the location to discussing the overall style of the shoot. On the day of the session, they were warm, funny, and made everyone feel completely at ease. They were the perfect team to capture our family's memories. It was especially helpful that they spoke both Cantonese and Mandarin, which made communicating with my parents-in-law so much easier. Even more impressively, they somehow managed to get my cranky 9-month-old engaged and smiling throughout the session! And of course, the photos were absolutely stunning. The perfect finishing touch to an already wonderful experience. I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out and will definitely be booking Dave and Florence again. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for talented photographers who truly know how to make the experience enjoyable for the whole family.

From start to finish, the entire experience was smooth, comfortable, and enjoyable. Dave has a great eye for lighting, composition, and detail, but what impressed me most was his ability to make the session feel natural and relaxed. He takes the time to understand what you are looking for and provides excellent direction without making the process feel overly staged. The quality of the final photographs exceeded my expectations. They were polished, professional, natural, and beautifully captured. If you are looking for a photographer who combines technical expertise, creativity, professionalism, and exceptional customer service, I highly recommend Dave Yip Photography. A truly first class experience from beginning to end. Five stars!

Her fun energy has my kids always excited to go see her and take pictures. She collaborates with others to make the photos perfect- makeup/hair, and cakes! I also love that she has a large supply of baby outfits and headbands - and she would style the babies so cute! We moved away 3 years ago, yet still drive an hour and a half to work with her because she is the best! Thank you Eva for capturing amazing memories that we will cherish always.

Overall: Melanie has a wonderful eye for location and keeping you comfortable during the session…read more Her communication is wonderful and any questions around timeline for photos/sneak peek photos are answered in a timely manner. She is very sweet, and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a stress free maternity session! I found Melanie through IG. I actually was looking through a few photographer IG accounts but my eye just kept coming back to her profile. Her light and airy photo style looked so beautiful! Another thing I kept in mind was looking for a photographer that also offers family photo sessions in the future. Scheduling: Scheduling and reaching out to Melanie, from the first contact was a great and smooth experience. She replies in a timely manner and gets to know you to ensure you both are a good fit. Once you set a date, you will get more information around her clients closet (which I was EXTREMELY happy she offers) and a list of possible locations to choose from. She also listens to your ideas and may have other additional ideas of her own closer to the date. She also can give recommendations for hair and makeup on request. Price: Pricewise, when I was looking at pricing for photographers and styles, maternity sessions tend to be on the pricier end, while her pricing was not as steep as the others I looked at. Her prices are very worth her expertise, time, and experience. I have had some not so great experiences, and my experience with Melanie was just so smooth and caused me no stress at all (important to me while being pregnant). Photo Style: She focuses on locations with nature and flowers. Honestly, because it was a very hot summer, I thought we would not have any pictures with flowers. Our original pick of location had no flowers, but she reached out and mentioned a new location a few days before the shoot. We decided to trust the change and switch to the new location. She will also ask about your insecurities (in case there are poses you really don't want to do), any poses you would like to incorporate, etc. She is very thorough and follows up with you throughout the process. As someone who asks a lot of questions, this made me very happy lol. Actual session: I wanted to incorporate some cultural pieces but was not sure if it would work with the dresses I picked from her clients closet. Thankfully, when trying the dresses on at the site, 1 was PERFECT for my bolero! During the session, it was so cool to see her thought process since she can look at an area and see the different photos we can do there. There were flowers! So happy about that! She made sure to ask me questions along the way, be aware of the poses I don't like, and the requests I had during the initial communication with her. This interaction showed me how organized she is, and she focuses on you and your session to be perfect. We ended up taking photos with 2 different dresses and a "3rd" with the same 2nd dress but with my cultural piece over it. It was perfect. There was also a more personal portion where she asked my husband to tell me why I would make a good mom. I ended up crying and the photos ended up to be part of my favorites from the shoot! Of course I don't think the intention was to make me cry haha I just was very emotional. We ended with the cultural outfit portion of the shoot and even though we had no idea how to pose, she helped us each step of the way. None of the poses felt awkward or forced, and we were able to just be ourselves and the photos reflect that. I loved the session so much that I initially wanted the middle package and ended up deciding on the highest tier package because, how can I just choose a set amount of images after that session! I want it all haha. I am so thankful for her as she made the session fun, comfortable, and memorable for us.
