She didn't just show up with a camera -- she checked in with me, offered thoughtful ideas, and really made sure the vision came to life. What truly stands out about Yessica is how attentive and intentional she is. She guides you without making you feel posed or stiff. For my family portraits, she captured such genuine, beautiful moments -- the kind you look at and immediately feel something. And my boudoir session? Absolutely empowering. She created such a safe, confident space that allowed me to fully enjoy the experience. Her studio is stunning and welcoming, and you can tell she has poured so much care into creating that environment. I felt comfortable, celebrated, and honestly just beautiful. I highly, highly recommend Yessica . If you're thinking about booking -- do it. You won't regret it.

On the day of, I was nervous if things were going to fall into place, but Annie, our photographer, shared her location with me and arrived early in just the spot I wanted. She was also wonderful to work with--her photography and editing skills are great and even though we never really posed for photos before, she made it easy for us. She even had the presence of mind to turn us away from family members who were coming from behind to surprise us. We received a few photos the night of the proposal to share with friends and then the rest of the photos after a quick turnaround. We were very happy with how they turned out and appreciative of Annie's great work!

Just take a look at those pictures on her blog and website. Follow her on FB to see all the cuteness, that's what I do. She offers maternity, newborn and portrait sessions but I saw that she was offering mini-session, which is a 1/2 hour long photo-shoot at a pre-selected location. She will then have 10-20 images ready and available in 7 days. You can order a package or get pictures a la carte. The photoshoot is quick and easy. Contacting Kim is a breeze, she offers an easy online form to get in contact with her. She provides you with an extra touch of service by providing you with information on how to dress for the session and even suggests image displays to decorate a room. Kim is a petite woman with a warm infectious smile. She made you feel at ease immediately. She brought little silly props to get smiles out of the little one. We met at the Ralston Hall Mansion in Belmont and the session was shot outdoors. The location had great backdrops for pictures (which is probably why Kim chose the location). She's good, yes she's magical. Probability of me booking my next family session with Kim again... 100%. Only if she can squeeze us in, she's Super Kim!

Denise was fantastic to work with. She was super responsive and always responded within 24 hours pretty much. We had never done any photo shoots before and she sent an email ahead of time with several great suggestions to prepare. She helped us pick a perfect woodsy location in San Francisco and even told us where to find easy parking the day of! The shoot went off without any problems. Denise walked my fiancee and I through different poses, both natural movement and some more stationary. It was easy going, sometimes funny, and we even brought a pet dog in spontaneously for a few pictures just for fun. Afterwards, she sent a follow-up email and stayed in communication all the time. We shortly got a link to pick out our favorite 25 pictures and despite us taking forever to get back to her, it only took Denise about 1-2 weeks to finish the final edits. We received beautiful, gorgeous, well-edited photos that we can't wait to share with our family and friends. Denise also gave us some black & white duplicates and threw in a couple of other photos she liked as well! Denise was just the sweetest and a very professional photographer. It was such a pleasure to work with her. I was really nervous about how the photos would turn out but Denise made the whole process so comfortable and smooth!! Thank you!!

My wife and I got married this past December, and we couldn't be happier with our wedding…read morephotographer, Jennifer Michelson / A Girl and a Camera. I actually found Jennifer after searching online for photographers in San Francisco and her work immediately stood out. Her style felt fresh and unconventional -- more documentary and journalistic than traditional -- and I especially loved her use of black and white photography, which was a big reason we chose her. The day started at our hotel, where she jumped between our separate rooms to capture my wife and me getting ready. Before she had even gotten to our rooms, she had already scouted the perfect location for our first look. The moment was absolutely incredible, and she handled everything; we didn't have to do a thing but follow her lead. That professional confidence continued at City Hall. She has a masterful familiarity with the building. She took full control of the shoot, guiding us as she told us exactly where to stand, how to pose, and where to move next so we could just relax and enjoy the moment. As a photographer myself, I really appreciated her confidence and professionalism. All we had to do was follow instructions and be present. She knows San Francisco City Hall inside and out -- the lighting, the angles, the timing, and the key locations that truly matter -- every shot felt deliberate and it showed. The technical skill here is top-notch-- the compositions were beautiful, the balance of each frame was spot-on, and her gorgeous color grading. We received around 300 images, and the quality is so consistent that I plan to print every last one of them in large format to ensure we have a permanent physical archive. When we received the final package, we were so touched -- she sent our photos on a beautiful USB drive along with printed images, some sweets, and other thoughtful details. It was the perfect finishing touch to a genuinely wonderful experience. If you're getting married at City Hall -- or anywhere in San Francisco -- Jennifer Michelson / A Girl and a Camera is exceptional. Thank you Jennifer! Laura and Junior.

Tiffany is not only a FANTASTIC newborn and family photographer, but she is also an INCREDIBLE…read morewedding and engagement photographer... My obsession with Tiffany started when she captured our engagement photos in Moss Beach.  I had a specific picture I had envisioned and obsessed about, and like a bad client I didn't tell Tiffany.  When I got back my pictures, there it was!  I knew from that day on I would never use another photographer. When it came to us picking a photographer for our destination wedding in Palm Springs, I felt a gravitational pull towards Tiffany, and she didn't disappoint.  She made the booking portion very simple and easy.  I sent her a list of shots we wanted and she pretty much captured everything I could even think of, and more.  She leaned into our moody "old Hollywood" look.  She worked our 200+ wedding like she'd been doing it for decades.  She works with light like a master artist.  What comes out at the end will absolutely blow your mind.  And on top of it all, she's a lot of fun to work with and makes you feel so comfortable.  I honestly wanted her to stay the entire wedding as a guest because I felt so close to her after our journey together. .... And thank God she has a sense of humor because when I wanted to do a funny gender reveal, newborn shoot for our new puppy, Frankie, she was all in!! She was even able to swaddle our 9 week only puppy! My husband actually said, when we were looking to book a photographer for our wedding, that he only wanted to work with Tiffany.  That's when I knew she would be apart of our lives forever.  I'm pretty sure 99.9% of the pictures framed in our house are all taken by Tiffany.  Tiffany captures the stuff that dreams are made of.  Thank you Tiffany for being apart of our big moments and giving us the greatest gifts, our memories live and in living color (or moody and in black and white when the occasion arises).
