As much as I want to keep Jana my best-kept secret, I suppose I need to give credit when it is due…read more Jana has done our holiday family shoot for the past 2 years. This is no small feat as we have two toddlers. Jana is personable and accommodating with her schedule. She is willing to give advice on choosing a good color palette for the clothes as well as suggest locations which photograph well. You can tell she cares about her work. She is professional and reliable. The kids like her and the fact that I don't feel awkward with her is also a bonus! She was able to work with our schedules when my littles got sick, not once, but twice!

Jana did an absolutely exceptional job photographing (and helping plan!) my surprise proposal to my…read morefiancé. I wholeheartedly recommend her as someone to work with for capturing important life events. I was proposing in Central Coast CA on a vacation, and didn't know the area well. I had found a winery that I thought looked good, and used Yelp to connect me with a few photographers. I knew right away that I wanted to work with Jana - she was *by far* the most thoughtful, responsive, and creative photographer I was put in touch with. Jana went above and beyond in the days before the proposal, coming up with a fantastic game plan (complete with time stamps for where to be when!) to both create a special moment and keep it a surprise right up until the proposal - exactly the organization I needed. Moreover, she called the winery in advance and arranged for a bottle of champagne on ice at the proposal location, for my fiancé and I to enjoy afterwards. On the day of, Jana arrived early to the winery to identify a location amongst the vines that was both secluded and beautiful, and coordinated with staff on-site to ensure everything went off without a hitch. The photos themselves were fantastic. She beautifully captured our happiness and excitement in the moment, with amazing lighting and scenery to boot. Afterwards, we took many other photos (Jana had great ideas for poses!) and walked to a couple other locations at the winery to capture more shots of the special occasion. And, she turned them around and shared the photos with us in barely 24 hours, allowing us to smile and re-live the moment over and over again in the days following the proposal. A proposal is a once-in-a-lifetime moment, and this one would have never gone off as well as it did without Jana's photographic talent, creativity in planning, and organization. I'm incredibly grateful to have worked with her, and would recommend her to anyone with an upcoming special occasion that needs a top-notch photographer! Thank you again, Jana!

For starters, there is no one else I'd have photograph my newborn. We first fell in love with her…read morephotography skills when my sweetheart and I came to the central coast for our babymoon. We wanted to use this vacation to also take our maternity photos, and she was happy to accommodate us. She met us at our hotel, discussed our vision, and then drove us to the most beautiful beach location to shoot our pictures. I am not someone who has ever been professionally photographed, so I felt a tad uncomfortable- but trust me when I say that DeeDee was able to give direction in a way that felt very helpful and easy to understand. Our pictures turned out great. Now, let's talk newborn pictures. We live in Sacramento, so while I really wanted DeeDee to capture these first few days- it wasn't really feasible. So I figured what the heck- I'll hire someone up in Sacramento an "up and coming newborn photographer". We photographed her during that window of time that DeeDee suggested 7-14 days, and then waited another 2 weeks to get the photos back. And they were HORRIBLE. I immediately called DeeDee and I know sound a little crazy here- but we actually drove 5 hours to DeeDee's studio to have her re-take our baby's precious newborn photos, and would you know, they are AMAZING. DeeDee is so patient, and has all the sweetest props, softest blankets, warmest space, best natural lighting, and snacks! If you are considering DeeDee, look no further. She is every bit as personable as she is professional, and you will love your images for years and years!

Our celebration was a relatively loosely planned event, without the typical structure of a formal wedding. Becky did a fantastic job of going with the flow, and still capturing the specific moments we had originally asked for. Everybody loved spending time with Becky, and getting those pesky family portraits was a breeze with her gentle (but firm!) nature. Because it was an outdoor event, Becky had to work with the elements, but you'd never know it! We love the final images - Becky was able to see so many small, sweet moments that would have otherwise been missed. She perfectly balanced candids of folks hanging out and relaxing, with the few 'events' of the day, the locale, the food, and the decorations. The images were delivered quite quickly, and Becky helped make that process super simple. Thank you, thank you to Becky for the images of a lifetime! We would totally recommend Becky for anybody looking for a photographer, particularly for a wedding!
