This was way more fun than we expected! My boyfriend and I booked a shoot with Heather on a whim,…read morewe weren't celebrating anything, we just thought it'd be fun to have some nice photos together. We're so glad we did. Neither of us are super comfortable in front of a camera, but Heather made it feel like we were just hanging out, having a fun date night. She had us laughing, exploring a beautiful little corner of San Luis Obispo, and totally forgot we were being photographed. The way she captured the way we laugh, how we look at each other, the tiny gestures, we felt so seen! Now we have a gallery of images that feel like a time capsule of this chapter in our relationship. I can't stop looking at them. The photos are beautiful and fun and somehow feel like real snapshots of who we are together. 10/10 would do it again!"

I would recommend her as a photographer for any occasion and just thank you so much!

Her communication before the session was so helpful and friendly, with tips on everything from what to wear to suggestions on locations and timeframes that would work best. We really felt prepared going into the shoot and were grateful to have her expert input ahead of time. Kristine is a mother of 3 and an absolute magician with children! We were nervous about how our toddler would handle an hour of pictures (close to bedtime), but Kristine knew exactly how to handle it. We felt so relaxed and cared for during our time with her and our daughter had a great time - which shows in the photos. Kristine has a fantastic eye for locations and gives great direction to help you put your best face forward, even if you aren't usually comfortable in front of the camera. Everything felt really natural and true to us, but somehow we all look like models in the photos! Amazing! We will cherish our photos forever and are grateful to Kristine for so beautifully capturing such special memories for our family.

I can not say enough great things about Ballesteros photography, Daniel and Kari, the dream team!…read moreTheir skills, artistic ability and charisma are just the tip of the ice berg. Daniel was right there with me every step of the way from the begining of the wedding planning journey through the end. Particularly when I had panic attacks, stress vents, and flat out fear and worry that everything would go wrong, he had my back. I swear he had a sixth sense and knew when I was falling apart because I would get a call from him and kari or an email from them or just a quick text. And then all was right in my world for that moment. These two are truly magical. The day of the wedding I wanted to cry the moment I saw them, I could feel the positivity, love, excitement and support radiating off of them. They did such an amazing job with our unorthodox needs and timelines. The way they kept my husband and I calm and in the moment, the way they handled the crowds and kept things moving, it was just all so seamless. Kari was always near by making sure my hair was perfect, my makeup was perfect, and quite frankly just making sure I felt calm and safe, which is a huge deal when you are someone with high anxiety. She just knew what I needed. Both of them just knew! We wanted to capture beautiful moments and enjoy as much of the party as possible and they made sure that happened. Not to mention! I wanted a home video style video with original audio of real moments, "bloopers", giggles, even anxious times to be captured. This was in addition to the produced video with special moments throught the timeline, clips to guests giving us love messages and advice, the music Daniel produced him self tied the whole thing together. I mean when I say magical I mean magical. I have no idea how they were each in 10 places at once but they were. And had it not been for them from begining to end on this entire journey, it would not have been as special as it was and i would not have had the wedding of my dreams. Book them, meet them, be their friends, I dont care what or how you do it, but these incredible people need to be in your life.

Not only do they have an immensely creative eye for capturing amazing photos, but the energy and vibe that they bring is amazing! They put you at ease with the picture taking process, and their joy and genuine support of you on the big day is unmatched. They were always available to answer questions and work with us leading up to the wedding day, and did a pre-wedding walkthrough which made the big day so much smoother. Highly recommend these two!

I can not recommend Tom enough!…read more I can barely sit still to write this review because I just got my wedding pictures and I am absolutely BESIDE myself. He did an absolutely amazing job with the photos and it took us right back to our special day. Not only were the finished products amazing, but on the actual day he was so supportive, calm, thorough and professional. I also can't believe all the shots he got without an assistant! My favorite part was how he captured our reactions in the moment and the reactions of all our friends and family - it was so special to be able to experience everyone's perspective through his photos! The shots were absolutely beautiful and natural and felt like us. He made us feel so comfortable on such an important day! I would 10/10 recommend him! Thank you Tom!

We just had our wedding in Santa Cruz, and Tom was AMAZING!…read more From a product standpoint, Tom's photos are dazzling. He really knows how to work with the light he is presented with (a harsh direct sun for our ceremony, and the pictures turned out great). The choices of shot angles and perspective were all very unique, and the quality of the images were top-notch. Honesty, he made us look like movie stars. As great as the photos are, Tom is even better on the service side. Super professional, personal, and easy going,....he made us relaxed and confident. We are psyched to have found Tom, and highly recommend his services!!!!!!

The first thing she did was ask to see our 1985 wedding album. As we shared these old photos with her, I was struck by how many family members are no longer with us--but at the same time, how many new people, including the spouses of our children and our grandkids, have come into our lives since then. A truly great photographer understands how fleeting and precious these "spots of time" really are--how recording these rare celebratory moments when the generations are gathered together in one place can become such important markers in the history of a family. This was a new thought for me, but as Ginger worked her professional magic (coaxing a dubious sixteen-year-old into a spontaneous smile, turning what could have been a long hour of posing into a laughter-filled family memory), I could see that she totally understands the important nature of her work. Her professional skill and personal grace and unusual creative vision allow her to capture moments that will never happen again--in our case, five teenaged grandchildren hovering on the very cusp of adulthood, and two grandparents (us) who are still fully plugged into life but won't be for long. Ginger's family portrait is a gift we will cherish forever. Paula Huston

We've done many Family Portraits over the years, but Mark was the first photographer to suggest how we should pose to get good family pictures. That sounds like a minor detail but even veteran photographers in the past seemed to shrug their shoulders and tell us to act natural when the pictures were taken. Mark had specific suggestions that were helpful. He was speedy with delivering the pictures and they looked great. I recommend Nakamura's Photography and plan to hire him again.
