I cannot recommend Emmalaine enough. She recently did our engagement photos and was spectacular…read more(especially because neither my partner nor I like to be in front of the camera)! She made us feel so comfortable and by the end of the session, both my partner and I were so relaxed and enjoying the experience. She did great at giving us direction and was sure to capture "us" in the photos. We feel so grateful to have met Emmalaine and I cannot stop looking at the wonderful photos she took of us!

We are so lucky to have discovered Emmalaine last year! We just completed another holiday shoot…read morewith her this year and plan to continue to work with her as long as she doesn't mind dealing with us! :) It's obvious to anyone who has seen her work that she has an exquisite eye and talent, and what I also love about Emmalaine is that she is easygoing, fun, and a pleasure to be with. She also has a knack for working with little ones and knows exactly how to get them to cooperate... our boys adore her and turn into such hams around her. Highly recommend Emmalaine, especially if you have young kids!

My husband and I used Orange Photography for our wedding and we are ecstatic with the results! I am…read morelooking forward to completing our wedding album and seeing the finished product. We hired Jack from Orange and he made everyone including my picture hating mother comfortable. He was unobtrusive in our wedding yet was able to capture the important moments. I look forward to using him in the future, perhaps with baby portraits?!

First of all, 5 stars for Orange and their website, professionalism, clear pricing structures, and…read moreclient services manager Kevin. They really know how to work with people. Totally impressed. Second of all, 10 stars for Ryan Anson. I guess I should wait until I get the photos back, BUT Ryan was a total star at our wedding. In addition to putting up with the normal stresses of wedding on a hot Calistoga day, Ryan dealt with kids, multiple locations at the site, timing changes, lack of shade, and flirty single friends of ours with complete professionalism. Ryan was a total rockstar. Always there when we needed him to capture something and with, what's very important to us, a sense of humor about it all. He didn't treat it like "just another wedding...stand here and okay put your hand to your cheek. yawn" instead it was more of, "okay bride, if you want to milk the cow sculpture in your wedding gown, i'll shoot that!" He got all the shots done that we mentioned were important, but also kept an eye out. He made it fun instead of another task to get done. Can't wait to update on the shots themselves! :)

Cherlyn was everything we could have hoped for in a wedding photographer. It was reassuring to have…read moresomeone with Cherlyn's experience and knowledge with us before our ceremony at SF city hall, it made us feel more prepared. She confidently navigated the space and guided us through our photos. I had some anxiety around being photographed, but right away Cherlyn made me feel comfortable. I genuinely felt like we were in good hands the entire time and I'm grateful she was part of our day. The sneak peek photos Cherlyn sent us so far are absolutely beautiful, I could shed a happy tear each time I look at them. She captured our day so perfectly. We are excitedly awaiting the development of our film photos and super 8 video. We cannot recommend Cherlyn enough to anyone looking for a talented and thoughtful photographer who makes you feel completely at ease.

My wife and I hired Cherlyn for engagement and wedding photos, and we both agree that it was the…read morebest wedding decision we made. Neither of us is naturally the most comfortable having our photo taken, but Cherlyn immediately made us feel at ease in our engagement session, and the photos came out so beautiful. My wife also surprised me with a book of boudoir photos that Cherlyn took as a wedding gift, and they are breathtaking. After our wedding, Cherlyn sent us a sneak peek the very next day, and we were in tears looking through the photos. We truly never imagined that we would have such beautiful photos of the two of us, so we have been just blown away by Cherlyn's work. We can't wait to get the full gallery. Cherlyn is a really special person, and we will cherish these photos forever. Thank you Cherlyn!

Laura is amazing to work with, from start to finish! She really listened to my vision and…read moreimmediately understood what I was after--portraits that celebrated our togetherness as a family and documented who we were before our son went off to college and our daughter establishes her own household. Not only is Laura an outstanding photographer, she is someone who cares about your vision and has the skills, resources and knowledge to execute it. She also provides invaluable insights and guidance on frames and makes it very easy to have your dream portraits become a reality!

I just picked up pictures Laura had taken of my teenage daughter. They are breath-taking. Laura…read morehas such an artistic eye. She created a fabulous portfolio. My daughter is graduating from high school this June and I wanted "better" pictures to mark the occasion than what the school photographer could provide. Well, she blew my socks off. These are so beyond my expectations I am practically speechless. She was incredibly professional. We met at my home and she showed m examples of her work and what she could provide. I was VERY impressed and we set up a date for the photo shoot. She picked out beautiful locations to take the pictures. She is so friendly and down to earth that my daughter was very relaxed and truly enjoyed the experience and it definitively shows in the pictures. They are magical and have captured her essence at this time of her life just as I had hoped.

After seeing her work with friends, the absolute first thing we knew when planning our wedding was…read morethat we wanted to hire Clara. She delivered not only artistic, true to life imagery - but also put two dorks who are not used to being in front of the camera at ease. My favorite pictures are from the little "in between" unorchestrated moments Clara captured - waiting for the ceremony to start, moments in the beautiful light before moving on to the next planned event. If we ever have another occasion to hire a photographer, it'll be her!

We had a disappointing experience with family photos when our twins were younger, so my…read moreexpectations were low for their cooperation during our mini session with Clara. While our boys were still nightmarish, Clara was so patient and made creative suggestions to get the best shots possible. She put us all at ease and made the whole experience so much more enjoyable. We got some great photos for our holiday card and for printing. I would highly recommend working with Clara and can't wait to do it again!

We LOVED working with Dianne from the start. When we met her and saw her portfolio, we knew she…read morewas the one. Her photos are beautiful-she catches important, sweet and funny moments so beautifully. We can relive our wedding over and over because of her photo-journalistic style. Her personality makes you feel at ease from the start. She is friendly, not showy (i've met some photographers who try to crack bad jokes etc)...Dianne is just a down to earth but super friendly person who naturally makes you comfortable, even if you are like me and not a fan of being in the spotlight.. Aside from the posed shots we requested, the rest of the day and night of our wedding she was doing what she does best-catching moments as they happen beautifully, without interfering. She even had some spur of the moment yet brialliant ideas for photos the night of, and we went with it and dont' forget it. Dianne met with us several times before our wedding to talk about our day, discuss details, and work out a package that was tailored to our needs. We had our digital photos in less than a month after our wedding, as well as a slideshow set to music she had us send her in advance. We love it! I definitely would recommend Dianne Jones to friends and family looking for a photographer. She is incredible!

We met with Dianne several times in the months leading up to the wedding, to go over the timeline, discuss details, and to choose a package that worked best within our budget. Her photo-journalistic style speaks to us...watching the slideshow set to music we provided, brings back the day like it was yesterday. Other than the usual posed, (and unusual) shots we requested, we hardly knew she was around, snagging the kisses, hugs, funky dance moves and general happiness that was ever so present on our special day! If you're looking for the perfect package in a photographer, look no further. Dianne Jones is your woman! We plan to use her for other special events in our lives and recommend her whole-heartedly to anyone for any occasion. Thank you Dianne...Christopher and Rebecca Centers
