A year later, she took our family's pictures for our son's one year birthday (cake smash) as well as for the holiday cards. She has a studio at her home with plenty of snacks while you do your sessions. It's also heated for those chillier winter months. The props she has are amazing and add a lovely style to her photos. She has a natural talent for finding perfect poses and the experience to get great angles. She also does locations other than her studio for photo shoots. For our maternity pictures we were at the beach and for our family pics we went to a hiking trail. She's able to taylor yo meet your needs. Her turnover to get pictures back to you is always quicker than she stated which is so lovely (especially when you want to get out holiday cards!) I highly recommend Jessica for her stellar services! You won't be disappointed! Loop

Irish is super sweet and easy to talk to and she makes you feel comfortable when taking photos - something that I am always extremely awkward with. She captured so many beautiful photos for us and even drove several hours away to meet us! The photos were delivered to us quickly and the quality was great. While I normally photograph pretty badly, she did a wonderful job at getting the perfect moments and capturing the sunset. I wish she could shoot our wedding, but she's pretty popular so I'd book her early if you can!

Needless to say, when it came time to have OUR engagement photos taken, I knew precisely who we'd be turning to. We had the absolute best time shooting with her. Both she and Cameron are just so wonderful and they know precisely how to take what could otherwise be a nerve-wracking experience (my fiance was super anxious about this) and turn it into an incredibly fun and incredibly relaxed time. What's more, she couldn't have captured Us more perfectly. We couldn't be more thrilled with these photos if we tried & we couldn't recommend her more highly :) (And man, are we ever going to be on the lookout for an occasion to shoot with her again.)

Look how I glow!" She captured exactly how I feel inside, and no one's been able to do that before. Teresa has given me a wonderful gift. I can look at these photos and remember who I was before cancer, and then look at them a second time and remember I'm still that person and nothing will ever change that. By capturing a piece of who I am now, she gave me something to hold onto and something to aspire to. Teresa is a healer -- just like my doctors and nurses and therapists are healers. I hope she continues to keep healing others by showing them who they really are. It is what she is meant to do.

I searched for a San Diego photographer for an in-studio mother-daughter session. My vision for the…read moreshoot was "boss lady/girl power/women empowerment" vibes. Tiffany Allen Photography was the perfect match to bring this vision to life. Tiffany responded promptly and scheduled a consultation right away. She encouraged me to create a vision board and send her any images that inspired my vision. I met with her a week prior to the photoshoot at her studio, and I was absolutely blown away. The aesthetic was beautiful and exactly what I was looking for. Tiffany is an absolute gem. During the session, she made me feel comfortable and confident. I was able to relax, listen to her direction, not overthink each pose, and have fun! I was mostly impressed by how well she worked with my three-year-old daughter. She was so welcoming and patient, which allowed my toddler to warm up to her right away, making the experience enjoyable for the both of us. I could not be happier with the images. They are absolutely STUNNING! Tiffany did an amazing job capturing my vision. The photos are so much more than just a pretty picture. Rather than overly posed or a ton of props, her style is simple and raw, which really made the difference in truly displaying the relationship with my daughter and the love we share. I will cherish these photos forever. I cannot say enough good things about this photographer - her personality and professionalism, the overall experience, and the final product - she is the best! I will most definitely continue to work with Tiffany Allen Photography in the future and recommend her to anyone!!!

The first thing I noticed about Tiffany was her speed of response and how accurate she was in describing what she did, how long it took, where to do it and what it cost. Then came the emails and the texts with examples and a to-do list. I was to send her pictures of myself in outfits - and she commented on each one with her professional eye and we chose three. She was also incredibly flexible on where to shoot. On the day of the shoot, I was incredibly surprised at her eye to detail, willingness to take a million shots, constant change in her own positions and the ease with which she made me feel at home. It did not end there. A week later, I had a zoom apt with her that blew me away. I wanted to buy all of them but decided on five. Just excellent work! Tiffany is amazing - I am hoping soon I can get my entire team's shots with her. Thank you Tiffany!

A photo session with Audrey is as wonderful as it gets! I met Audrey Christmas before last when…read moreshe generously volunteered her time photographing pets with Santa for our mutual vet, The Drake Center. All proceeds went directly to one of our local shelters that does amazing work helping pets find homes. She held a drawing for families who brought their pets in for a full photo session and our family was one of the lucky winners. We had our full family (two leggeds and four leggeds) photographed with her a few months later and it was truly an amazing experience. Audrey's professionalism and talent are beyond compare, but what really made her stand out in my mind was her ability to "read" our family and capture us just as we are. An example of this is our youngest daughter, who can tend to be a stinker when she's nervous or out of her element. Audrey was completely patient with her and waited until she was able to relax enough to be photographed. We weren't rushed in any way - she took her time and got some amazing shots of our girls, our pets and our whole family. I have come to love Audrey, not only for her professional talent, but for her personality and spirit. She is wonderful to work with but even better to know.

I had won a raffle for a free pet photo shoot with her, and she was very knowledgeable about where and what time for optimal pictures.

I was in grad school at the time, so money was tight, but she assured me the pics would be available any time :) Audrey really knows how to capture your pet's personality and perks! You will not be disappointed!

The whole experience was so much fun! I also really appreciated all of her help leading up to the shoot, from styling advice to connecting me with hair and makeup. I felt beautiful that day, and I know a lot of that came from the environment and energy she created. The session ended up being more empowering than I expected. It was something I didn't realize I needed until I experienced it. I'd absolutely work with Carrie Anne again and would recommend her to anyone considering booking a session.

The "journey" Carrie Anne set me on leading up to the actual boudoir session was arguably a bigger part of the photo shoot for me. ;) Carrie had a time line of to-do's for me, websites for garments I might want to buy, soooo much I wasn't expecting. And on the way, I found a new comfort with myself. By the time I got to Carrie Anne's for the photography... I was ready for this! I brought extra outfits and accessories and Carrie Anne helped me dial it in for an unforgettable experience. It's been about 3 years since my session and I still recall it like yesterday. I am close to 60 and have never felt so good about myself - not in a vain way. I was absolutely comfortable with me. Carrie Anne has a beautiful way about her. She'll set you at ease, and make this moment an unforgettable and personal experience. DO IT - you'll be happy you did. (Thank you, Carrie Anne!)

I was in charge of organizing a multigenerational family session with some hard people to please. I was drawn to her pictures, the lighting and the way she captured families. Everyone in our group agreed that Tristan was amazing. Tristan went above and beyond with her communication through the entire planning process, offering to accommodate the unfortunate weather circumstances during Christmas weekend. She showed up with a very warm demeanor and was professional and kind throughout the entire ordeal. She was even able to cheer up the kids who became fussy during the session. Not only was the actual photo session fun and organized, the final product exceeded our expectations. I cannot say enough good things about Tristan, I highly recommend her and look forward to using her in the future.

I reached out to a friend of mine who also does photography and she provided me with a list of photographers she would recommend. I told her I wanted the photographer she would use for her own pictures because I valued her opinion. She said without a doubt, select Leigh Castelli. I sent my daughter the links of all the photographers, and she too selected Leigh, so, we moved forward with booking. We had no idea what to expect, only that my daughter wanted her session at the beach. We met Leigh there and she had already found a few places she wanted to take pictures. The scenery, the lighting, and the moments she captured were absolutely perfect! She seemed to have a natural way about bringing out my daughter's personality immediately. She spent nearly two hours all over the area capturing shots I would never have imagined. I didn't have to worry about a thing; just let her do her work, and that's exactly what I needed. That evening she sent us a sneak peek of the photos and within a week I had the entire digital download available for me to make my selections. Leigh Castelli Photography was everything I hoped for, and much more. I'm so thankful to have found her to capture one of the most precious events in my daughter's life. Thank you, Leigh! I will definitely use your services in the future and will recommend you to everyone.

From the moment I saw Pauline's photos, I knew she had to be my photographer. Then once I spoke to…read moreher, I knew she was someone special. She is truly the kind of photographer I would recommend to every single bride without hesitation. If I could give one piece of advice to future brides, it would be to choose true professionals who are not only talented but also deeply experienced. That is exactly who Pauline and why she is the photographer every bride needs in her corner on wedding day. From the very start, Pauline made me feel so supported. She didn't just show up with a camera, she brought wisdom, calm, and the kind of guidance that is needed. She also connected me with two other incredible creatives, Carly from Black Shutter Media for videography and Bianca from BTS by Beee for content creation. Together, they were the DREAM TEAM working seamlessly to capture every angle of the most important day of my life. Pauline's shooting style is unlike anything I've ever seen before. She takes the time to understand your vision and then elevates it into something even more breathtaking. The photos she delivered bring me to tears every time I look at them. Guests still can't stop raving about how amazing our photographer was and I couldn't agree more.

Photos are forever and it felt like a lot of pressure to find someone who we could trust to both capture our day authentically and in a style that felt like us, while also keeping us calm and comfortable in the process (I mean- you end up spending just as much time with your photographer as you do with your spouse!) We took careful time to research many different photographers and there is no doubt in my mind that we made the BEST choice by hiring Pauline. She exceeded all expectations and was truly such a special part of our day. From our initial conversation, I was immediately drawn to Pauline's kind, gentle spirit. We also fell in love with Pauline's timeless photography style. Her photos look real (not overly filtered as so many often do). She captures moments in such a beautiful, classic, and authentic way. We knew that the photos she took would never go out of style and would perfectly capture this moment in time for us. Pauline photographed both our engagement photos and our wedding. She was highly communicative and organized throughout the entire process. She worked hand in hand with our coordinator and other vendors to ensure a smooth day. She was one of the first vendors we booked. As we booked other vendors and told them we were working with Pauline, they immediately sung her praises and were excited to get to work with her again, too! There were a lot of photos I wanted captured and she built out a clear and organized timeline that we were able to share with everyone who needed to be photographed. The day ran so smoothly that we were actually ahead of schedule! Your wedding day can be filled with little butterflies, but Pauline just has such a naturally calming presence. She helped us all feel at ease and so comfortable. What I also really appreciated was that she allowed my husband and I the space to soak in the tiny in between moments and enjoy every bit of the day together. When we got our sneak peek photos back from her, we were floored! They are SO GOOD. We could not be more grateful to have gotten to work with Pauline.
