Nancy was punctual, professional and above all super friendly and kind. Nancy was able to provide me with all of the edited images within a 1-2 week time frame which was fantastic!! We have access to the online gallery of our photos and couldn't have been happier with the images. We will continue to book our future photo shoots with Nancy and would highly recommend her services.

I know it can be very stressful to find a photographer that is both talented and professional but…read morethat's exactly what I found in Nancy. I was referred to her by a friend for my daughter's Quinceañera and since the first text message with her I knew she was my photographer. When I met her the day of the Quinceañera for the park photoshoot she was all smiles and ready to click that camera. All my family was very at easy around her. Throughout the whole experience she was consistently communicating with me. Her work is just amazing. She captured all the special moments of the day. I can not recommend her enough!! A lovely talented hard working woman.

I purchased a Living Social deal and got portraits taken with my family. It was pretty cool! We had…read morethe choice of in studio, at Seal Beach pier or by the SB peninsula. Melody, the office manager was super nice and helpful, answered all my questions and was great about follow up. Knowing I had a 2yr old, they demonstrated their knowledge and experience with this age group because they were able to provide the pros/cons of each setting and the best time to get the most cooperation. On the day, we got a call that morning from Melody to remind us and let us know where to meet exactly. Thank god...cuz my phone crashed, with all my notes! Although the promo was for 1-hour photog session, we were done before then but still got a ton of pictures to choose from. Kristi was sweet and professional. I liked her instantly. We went and saw our proofs just the other day. The studio was small but yet the way they had it set up, it was roomy and comfy. We went through each of our pics on a huge screen and gave them thumbs up or down on them. I felt like i was sitting at home going through our own albums. It was that comfy! From the proofs, some the images were pretty pose-y, while others were so natural that Kristi was able to catch. I just wish my little guy was smiling in more of the pictures. Too bad with the retouching they'll be doing, they couldn't retouch them to add smiles to my little grouch! I've never done professional photos before, so I can't give you a good comparison to cost. But it seemed pricey, based on my limited knowledge of what Asian shops do for much less cost. But KSE has beautiful photo boxes that you can load with 23 or so photos, and the photos will then go into a book. But to get the book, you have to buy the photo boxes. Since we already had thousands of photos, we just chose a few family shots and pair shots. I wanted more but aside from our own database, our wallets just didn't permit me spending needlessly! =( But I think I'll be happy with what we chose. Can't wait to pick them up! Note to anyone going to the studio with child in stroller....the studio is on the 2nd floor , so you have to go up 2 flights of stairs. There's no elevator. Thank god my stroller was light and didn't add to the weight of a sleeping 2yr. old. Bring quarters for street parking or go down towards the residential area and try your luck parking there.

Taking boudoir photos was a…read morelittle out of my comfort zone; but, Kristi reassured over the phone prior to my appointment and once we met in her studio I felt totally at ease. I got my hair and makeup done (by Annie Vandyke) at the studio before my session which added to my confidence (along with a glass a champagne :) The photo session was fun! Kristi demonstrated how to pose, so all I had to do was copy her. The images turned out fantastic! I took my fiancé to the ordering session and he loved the photos, it was difficult to narrow down our favorites. The photos were truly pieces of art. I am so happy to have found Kristi, having this experience right before our wedding was a perfect reminder of our romance. Thank you Kristi!

She was always punctual (even with the long travel time to our venue in Sonoma, CA), upbeat and ready to jump right in. She got my husband to look natural in photos, which is not easy! We chose to have all of our our couple and family portraits done before our ceremony at 2PM in the peak sunlight (worst lighting) of the day, and they still turned out amazing. She coordinated with other vendors and helped out in more ways than I would have ever expected. I can't recommend Alison enough!

You made the shoot enjoyable by encouraging the boys to run, play, jump, and laugh together. This experience was more than just about the photos; it created lasting memories that I will always cherish and you went above and beyond to make sure every smile and laughter was captured. She took way more photos than we even agreed on. So many she ran out of memory on her camera. If you are thinking about family photo sessions, don't hesitate and book with Cori. She truly enjoys what she does and so damn good at it!

If I could give zero stars I would…read more I was talking with this photographer for a month, trying to find a date to do Mother's Day photos. We finally confirmed a date for May 2nd, and she emailed saying that "in order to secure the date, I need to send a deposit of $500.00." I asked to have a phone call before I just Zelle money to a random person, but she said she doesn't take phone calls from clients because she's too busy. She then said there is someone else wanting May 2nd and for me to hurry with the deposit. So I went ahead with good faith and Zelle'd her $500.00 on Friday. She sent me her contract Friday night, which was Passover, so we were busy with the family holiday and didn't get a chance to fully review the contract until Sunday morning. Which at that point, she emailed me saying that May 2nd is no longer available, and the contract had been canceled. I sent the deposit with the confirmation that it was to secure the May 2nd date. There's no other date that works for my family, so I asked for a refund since she can no longer honor the agreed date. At first, she said no, her policy is no refunds on deposits. She then said, okay, she will refund me but it will take 3 business days. And now she is completely refusing to refund us, and stopped all communication, and said she's reporting us to her bank as fraud! Like, are you kidding me! She blatantly stole money from us! It's clear this lady is a professional scam artist and does this shady stuff often. I should have known when she refused to speak with me on the phone. Red flag! We honestly don't know what to do, or how to get our money back. As a client I would beware of this lady! It's so sad how dishonest some people are. I believe in Karma and I know karma will do its job with this lady!

She put so much time, thought and work into the set up. She was also were sweet and patient with a model who didn't really know how to model. ;) We also scored a mini session that was a bit of a fiasco because I have a 2 year old son who laughs in the face of family portraits. :P I am 100% confident Megan will perform a miracle and produce amazing shots! So confident that I've already got us signed up for a full session this summer. Megan really is gifted. I'm thankful she's close enough that we get to have her capturing our children. 20 years from now, I don't want to rely on my iphone pics for posterity ;)

In just 20…read moreminutes from drive up to leave, Megan came up with ideas, props and encouragement that resulted in six absolutely beautiful images! She was prompt, professional, and her use of cropping and light is just amazing. The only thing I would have liked was better information on the site location. We probably would have worn closed-toed shoes and pants for the location we were in had we known better. Nonetheless, Megan came equipped with a blanket and two step seats to keep us off the prickly ground. We would definitely recommend her and use her services in the future.

After some hunting online for a photographer for a new set of headshots, I found Andi Whiskey and…read moreher new studio in Denver. Right away, I was struck by her dedication to her craft as well as her ceaseless hustle. I'm not sure she ever sleeps, given the relentless stream of content and products coming out of her studio! We exchanged a few introductory emails, and agreed to a gameplan for the shoot. Most helpful was a list of do-and-do-nots that came beforehand. Having never done headshot before, this was incredibly helpful. The shoot itself was a blast. Normally I am incredibly self-conscious, but somehow Andi made the entire hour fly by in no time. She was absolutely fantastic in finding the right lighting, the right angles, the right vibe for each shot. I never felt like I didn't understand what was happening or what I should do to bring out the best for each shot. I would say that this is exactly why my final proofs came out so well. None of this felt transactional. It felt like working with a true professional who not only wanted to bring out her best work, but your best qualities as well. Book her today. You will not regret it, you will have a blast, and you get to meet Basil. He's the best studio cat, ever.

Her studio is super warm and inviting and the photos that she produced (I am a chef) were top notch. Our company has used the headshots for numerous special events and for my own personal website. In addition to the top notch photography, the experience getting the photos done was very easy and fun! As we move in to a more prosperous restaurant-industry climate once everyone has been vaccinated, Andi will be on board as my main photographer for tasting dinners, special events, and food photography. I recommend her to anyone seeking professionally done photography that is processed, edited, and delivered back in a very timely manner. Thanks so much Andi!
