This review has been a long time coming. Lori is phenomenal! She captured my wedding in June of…read morethis year and I was so grateful to have found her through my venue's list of preferred vendors. She was shocked that I hired her having only looked at her portfolio, but I knew from the photos she had of another wedding at my venue that she would do a great job. And after our initial conversation I knew she would be perfect! She's a professional through and through. I appreciate her working with my husband who is camera shy and managing to document beautiful moments with our chaotic (but sweet) families. I know we made her nervous because we were pretty laid back and I am so appreciative she kindly made us take certain photos even though we said they were not important. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Lori is amazing! My wife found Lori through Instagram and loved her content. We did a…read morenewborn/family photoshoot in her studio. Lori was so patient, friendly, and fun! Her studio had every prop you can imagine and she made sure we were always on the same page on poses and props that we liked. Her attention to detail is also immaculate. She was extremely patient with our newborn and never rushed us when we needed to feed or change diapers. She was also fantastic with our toddler and made the photoshoot fun for her even when she wasn't always cooperative. We love all of the pictures and can't recommend Lori enough!

I was looking for a photographer in the Brentwood area as a graduation gift for my niece. She was…read moregraduating high school, and I wanted to make this moment extra special for her. I came across Kree's Yelp page because of how close she was, but what really stood out was her website--the caliber and vibrancy of her photos were incredible. I knew right away she'd be a perfect fit for capturing my niece, both in her cap and gown and in her super colorful prom dress (which I was confident Kree could do justice!). From the moment I reached out, Kree was super responsive and easy to communicate with. The contract was simple and straightforward, pricing was fair and the breakdown of her packages were awesome. and she helped us agree on a time and location that worked perfectly, not far from our house either, which was a huge plus. On the day of the shoot, Kree arrived right on time and immediately made my niece feel comfortable. Since it was my niece's first time being professionally photographed, I appreciated how Kree guided her with poses and gave her direction to bring out her best angles. She was friendly, patient, and made the whole experience fun. We received the edited photos about two weeks later, and they were amazing, better than I could have imagined. Kree truly captured my niece's personality and the significance of the moment. Highlights for me: super responsive communication, an easy-to-understand contract, a convenient location, her friendly demeanor, and of course, the beautiful final photos. Thanks so much Kree!!!

My family and I love Kree photography. I did my graduation photoshoot with Kree and it was the…read moresmoothest experience of my life! She's so sweet and knows exactly what to do and how to tell you how to do it. If I need more photos for anything I would come to her!

If you are looking for an AMAZING family photographer, look no further. I've worked with several…read moreprofessional photographers over the years (maternity, engagement, wedding), so I know quality when I see it. Xinlei is truly one of the best I've ever worked with. I've already recommended her to several friends--and will continue to do so. I reached out to Xinlei in a bit of a panic, hoping to capture newborn photos at home. Thankfully, she was available and offered a wonderful "Watch Me Grow" package that included sessions at newborn (added fee), 6 months, and 12 months. I really wanted newborn photos in our home so we could include our two dogs and remember this special chapter--bringing our baby home to our San Francisco house. Like any new mom, I was overwhelmed. The day of the shoot was pure chaos--baby had a blowout, peed on the bed, skipped her nap, and I wasn't fully ready when Xinlei arrived. But Xinlei was so calm, patient, and reassuring. She made us feel completely at ease, even when everything felt messy. I genuinely thought there was no way we got any good photos from that session. But when the gallery came back, I was blown away. The photos were stunning. They beautifully captured our new family--full of warmth and love. You'd never guess how hectic that day really was. The 6- and 12-month shoots were just as smooth. Xinlei was consistently kind, creative, and patient--and the photos were incredible every time. I've received so many compliments, and I can't wait to work with her again. If you're even thinking about booking her, do it. You won't regret it! Also her pricing is very reasonable!!

I would absolutely recommend Xinlei for professional family photos and am / will continue to be a…read morehappy returning customer! Her photography, service, and friendship are top quality. As a new mom, who delivered 5 weeks early, I was disappointed not to have had a chance for a maternity shoot and overwhelmed trying to research accommodating photographers whose work I loved. After 3 months with a preemie we were finally ready and Xinlei was recommended by a close friend. She was amazing!! We selected her "Watch Me Grow" package that included sessions at newborn (she allowed us to do this at 3 months), 6 months, and 12 months. I really wanted my daughter's photos in our home so we could include our puppy and the brand new home we had just moved into. On zero sleep, still struggling to "feel like myself", realizing I had only selected outfits for the baby, and forgetting to eat... Xinlei was exactly who we needed. She came with bringing baked goods from Paris Baguette for my husband and I (hangry husband would not make for a good shoot! Haha), loved on our attention-starved puppy, and was so patient when our daughter feel asleep / had to take a milk break in the middle of the shoot. We laughed the whole time, got to know each other, and all felt so at ease! She even included my mother who was visiting in a few photos - something so special to us. The gallery (for all our sessions) blew us away. The photos were beautiful, captured our growing little family... and she even included a few fun blooper pictures (a given with a newborn, 6m, or 1 yr old) for laughs! We also looked forward to our sessions. Xinlei is so thoughtful, patient, and deliver beautiful quality work. I would highly recommend!!

She helped settle, manage my kid in between, made me comfortable and I felt good throughout the session. I was confident she knew what she was doing and when I did see the end results I was impressed.

I definitely recommend coming to Dani for your baby photos and family photos!…read more When it came to booking these photo shoots she was very quick to respond. Prices vary on the photo shoot that you would like and all of her prices are posted right on her website. I love the transparency! So far I have done my maternity shoot, my baby's new born, and my baby's 1 year photo shoot! Dani is patient and kind which is definitely helpful when working with little one! She has plenty of wraps and baby outfits to choose from. She has her own studio in downtown Nile's but is also willing to shoot outdoors which is nice. Her style of photography is definitely what drew me to her and I wasn't let down.

She was friendly and patient with us the whole time and her personality kept the vibe relaxing and fun. My wife and I don't take professional photos, so it was really nice to have an experienced photographer help us with poses and where to stand. We plan on asking her to take all our future family photos and we look forward to working with her again!

Great instructor! I…read morefound Terry via Groupon and am glad I got a chance to attend his Advance Basics course. I was slightly skeptical when Terry mentioned he would be going through some of the more fundamental topics of how to use your DSLR but was pleasantly surprised when I found that I had a lot to take away from the course. The class itself was a smaller setting which was really nice. It took place at Terry's Image Light Photography Studio. It ended up being one other person and myself making the class more engaging and interactive. Terry went through the class at a comfortable pace, made it interactive by having us use our cameras during specific topics to reinforce learnings and happily answered the numerous questions I threw at him. Overall, it was a great foundational course for those just getting into photography or for those needing a refresher (like myself). I plan to take his Exposure class in the near future.

Thank you Terry for your patience. I'm very green, no past experience at all. I came in with my new…read morecannon camera and Terry helped me navigate the camera. I also took the exposure class and I learned a lot. It's amazing how he is able to explain the techniques. The depth of field its an interest concept, now it makes sense that I've been practicing. He makes the classes unique and it makes sure that the students understand the concepts and he applies the concepts at the same time. I missed the scheduled class the first time and he was able to fit me into his own personal time. He definitely cares for his customers. I will take more classes from him in the near future as I would love to learn more from him. He is an artist and knows how to explain techniques in a very simple manner. I highly recommend Terry!!
