This review is for boudoir. Just do it! I never thought I…read morecould be boudoir material, but it was something I always wanted to do. As I grow closer to my 40th birthday, I finally decided to give myself (and my husband) this gift. After years of sporadic searching, I finally found Christina and Elle Division. She is everything you want in a photographer, especially this kind of work. With her fun energy and the support of a BFF, I felt instant comfort and confidence right out of the gate. The moment she turned that camera around and showed me, ME...I knew that this was an experience I would never forget. Wow! Today I walked away from my photo viewing and I am SO. Proud.Of myself! I cannot wait to share these with my husband, who already sees what these images and Christina helped me see. I cannot be more happy and grateful to have found Elle Division. I would 100% do this again. Don't wait or sell yourself short! You will not regret it.

He captured every little expression -- from curiosity to tears to frosting-covered smiles. A cake smash can be unpredictable, but he handled everything with such professionalism and kindness. We will treasure these memories forever. -Thank you, Vinh, for capturing Amara's 1st birthday cake smash so beautifully. You made us feel comfortable, allowed her to be herself, and documented every genuine moment -- frosting, tears, and all. These photos mean more than you know. We're so grateful to have these memories forever.

Wow, Yelp really came through again! I was searching for a photographer for our engagement photos…read moreand Google didn't bring Vinh up, but Yelp did, and I'm so grateful. From the very beginning, Vinh was incredibly informative, professional, and genuinely friendly. His communication is exceptional. I don't think he ever took more than 24 hours to respond to my requests. My fiancé and I are not photogenic people. We've never done a photoshoot together and honestly i'm a bit awkward. But Vinh made us feel completely comfortable right away. He guided us through poses, gave helpful suggestions on outfit colors to match our location, and even recommended spots that perfectly matched the vision I had in mind. The actual shoot turned out to be so much fun! We were laughing, relaxed, and really just enjoying ourselves. We did a 2 hour engagement photoshoot and we chose Muir Woods and Mount Tamalpais as our locations. And the best part? The photos were ready in less than five days! The turnaround time was so quick, and the quality of the photos completely exceeded our expectations. We honestly feel so lucky to have found Vinh. He captured everything we hoped for and more. I would be honored to have him as our wedding photographer! Fingers crossed, he'll be available !

I had a great experience working with Lily. This was my first time ever getting professional…read moreheadshots done and I'm definitely not someone who is comfortable in front of a camera. Lily has a calm, easygoing way about her that made it feel much more relaxed than I expected. She guided me without over-directing, kept things moving efficiently, and somehow managed to get a bunch of shots I actually really like (which is saying something). The session itself was quick, but I never felt rushed. She gave me plenty of great options to choose from. I also got the final photos back about a week later, which was a nice, quick turnaround. Lily is warm, professional, and clearly knows exactly what she's doing. I would absolutely recommend Lily Dong Photography to anyone who needs quality photos, especially if you're a little camera-shy like me.

We had nothing but compliments about the Pop Life Photo Booth at our wedding. We booked the Selfie…read moreBooth which was a drop off booth that the guests controlled themselves with the touch screen in the system. It was wonderful! The pictures came out so fun and clear, we could make gifs, and boomerangs. We chose a template from Poplife's list, and added a backdrop to our package, and that was it! After the event, Poplife sent a link over to download all the images at once, but we were able to download them from links texted to our phones or Airdrop the images to ourselves at the event. It was an extremely easy experience that was a huge hit! We're so happy we went with this photobooth company.

I have used Allison for family photographs from the very beginning of my family over six years ago…read more She has done maternity, newborn, annual family photos, mini sessions and last year took on the massive undertaking of photos of my extended family (5 kids under 7 and 8 adults). She has the ability to incorporate the kids and give the adults a comfort even when they are uncomfortable being in front of the camera and worried about their wild kids' behavior. She has expert tricks to get candid looking photos. I am always beyond please with our pictures. She also is one of the only photographers that provides digital rights to the entire session and that for me is priceless! So many other photographers charge astronomical amounts and then still charge even more money for prints or access to digital rights. I have recommended her to friends without disappointment.

She made us SO comfortable, she gave us great direction and kept us laughing. Our wedding photos went so much smoother, because we knew what to expect and how she worked. Her prices were a steal! And the photos came out better than we could have ever dreamed of. We can't wait to work with her again in the future! Now we just have to come up with the excuse to shoot again, lol. WE LOVE ALLISON!!!

We cannot recommend Constance enough! After our original photographer did a complete no call, no…read moreshow for our newborn son's photo shoot, we were stressed, disappointed, and worried we'd miss those precious early moments. She truly came to the rescue. Not only did she respond quickly, but she was able to fit us into her schedule within just a few days. From the moment she arrived, she was professional, calm, and incredibly patient with our newborn. She handled our son with such care and made the entire experience feel relaxed and enjoyable during what can be a very overwhelming time for new parents. The photos turned out absolutely stunning -- more beautiful than we could have imagined. She captured the sweetest little details and moments that we will treasure forever. Her talent, kindness, and willingness to step in last-minute meant so much to our family. If you're looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and exceptionally talented, look no further. We are beyond grateful for her and would book her again in a heartbeat!

Constance approached me in Rockridge when I was super pregnant at the end of October - she shared…read moreher business card, and I checked out her website. Really liking her style of photography, we scheduled a newborn photo session with Constance at the end of November with our two week old son. Constance was incredibly responsive and professional. Not only that, she is a baby photo whisperer - she had a bunch of helpful suggestions to help our time together go smoothly. She brought a whole bag of adorable outfits and props, and she was happy to let us choose some of our own outfits, too. For this session we decided to stay home and take photos around our house and yard, and they turned out beautifully. We are so pleased with these special keepsakes! Constance also made it easy to review the raw photo collection after the shoot, choose the ones we wanted, and deliver the final files all online. She also offers large size prints! In the future I'd love to do an on-location shoot with our son in the redwoods of Oakland. I already have ideas :) Thank you, Constance!

I first came across Candid Gem through one of their engagement…read moreraffles and wasn't sure what I was really getting into at first...but ended up finding the wedding photographers on our dreams! After our first photoshoot, we knew we wanted to hire candid gem for our wedding. Not only are they kind but they helped guide us through the wedding process, gave suggestions and were flexible when needed. They taught us how to take photos, they made us laugh and overall they made us just feel comfortable and like ourselves throughout the whole process. On the actual wedding day, Eric and Gladys were superstars! I had an extensive photo list and they worked hard to get all of the photos that were important to us. We are so happy we found them and can't wait to work with them again!

The communication leading up to the event was handled with such professionalism and grace. I appreciated the fact that Eric in particular took my outline of what needed to be done, but added his spin on how to make things better. Unbelievable and better than what I came up with! I would certainly advocate, promote, and recommend Eric and Gladys' business because of the quality of work they performed, the patience and grace they exhibited, and how well organized they were in getting things under control. My family and I are eternally grateful for what you have done. Thank you again Eric and Gladys! You'll always have a spot at our table if / when we need your services again for another major family event!
