Gracie Valdophye took pictures of my son for his 2nd birthday. Let me just say - I am blown away!…read moreMost photographers these days only shoot during "golden hour" but Gracie is incredibly skilled and can get beautiful portraits no matter the time of day. This made my life so much easier. It's already tricky enough trying to figure out what time of day your baby/toddler is going to be in a good mood! Gracie had set up the most spectacular fall themed set. I was stunned. During the shoot, she was so incredibly patient with my wild toddler and went above and beyond to get him to smile. She is a baby/toddler whisperer for sure! She said she would have photos ready 1.5 weeks after the shoot and she did! Every photo was edited to perfection. The only difficult thing about this process is trying to decide which picture to print. We will forever use Valdophye for family pictures. There is a reason they have the reputation for being the best photographers in town. They are highly skilled and it shows through their work! Thank you, Gracie!

J. Michelle Photography is run by a caring, professional, creative, and talented woman…read more I was lucky enough to have Janaye take one of my maternity photos and she was really accommodating for me as I was walking with a cane and could not get around easily. She was still able to capture beautiful pictures outdoors and make sure I was safe and comfortable. I was also able to have her take family photos which I was nervous about because I have a very energetic two year old and a sometimes fussy 11 month old, but she was patient and creative with my little ones and still able to get great photos of our family despite a few baby tears and a toddler trying to escape every moment! You can tell she loves what she does, puts a lot of time and effort into her business, and cares about her clients, I highly recommend her! Thank you Janaye!

Marsha deserves more than 5 stars!!!! I found The Photegé…read morewhen I was looking up photographers in Bakersfield because I wanted to do a family photo session there. It made a lot of sense to find someone who was a local and knew the area and locations for photo spots. I contacted Marsha after reviewing pictures on her Instagram account and after speaking with her on the phone, there was no hesitation as I knew I wanted to hire her and work with her. I am a mother of 2 and I wanted someone who had experience working with young children. Marsha was the perfect choice because having children of her own, she was able to help me prepare for the shoot and during the shoot, she helped guide my family so that we were able to capture memorable moments that I was actually surprised came out "Beautiful" because my toddler wasn't really cooperating (picture a 3 year old hyper little boy running amuck in an open field). My toddler who is very shy to people he meets the 1st time opened up to Marsha right away and even though he was extremely hyper and wasn't cooperating, she was able to get him distracted a few times so that we were able to get a lot of family picture shots. If you looked at the pictures she took, you wouldn't have known the hard effort Marsha put in to get those shots. Thank you so much Marsha and I am definitely coming back to you for more family photo sessions!

Our styles meshed well and we appreciated the way she helped create romantic moments for the bride and groom to enjoy each other alone for a few moments at a time throughout the day.

We look forward to working again with Linsey and if you're considering her as a photographer we can tell you firsthand that she loves people, loves weddings, and it shows in her work!

I posted this review on The Knot but being a Yelper, had to share it on here too! :)…read more I cannot say anything but AMAZING things about Melissa Brannon Photography. I met Melissa through my friends that also had her photograph their weddings. When I saw the quality of her photos, I knew immediately that I wanted her for my future wedding. I also did my medical school graduation photos with her and I'm so happy I did! The photos came out amazing. Years later, I met the man of my dreams, got engaged, and found myself excited to plan my wedding. I knew Melissa was going to be one of my first vendor phone calls. From the beginning, she was professional and easy to communicate with. Initially, my fiance and I opted out of the engagement photos part of the package because we had wonderful proposal photos taken by family but we ended up changing our mind and adding it into the package. She allowed us to do so without an issue. We are so glad we did! We weren't sure where to do the photos and she ended up giving us wonderful recommendations. We LOVE our engagement photos. Throughout the wedding process, we felt very taken care of by Melissa. She had us answer questions so she could determine what was important to us and what parts of the wedding was especially important to capture. She was also able to answer all our questions as well. She is extremely experienced. The day of was a dream. Melissa was able to take all the poses, images, and group photos that we wanted for our big day. She captured everything perfectly and I had so many compliments from my family in regards to her professionalism and vibe. She and her team brought such a positive energy to our wedding and I cannot thank her enough. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Melissa for wedding day photography! Book her!

They + Melissa were all the best hype girls and made me feel confident and beautiful. The phone footage they took of the day as extra content was so special to have too! She is the sweetest and we're so thankful she was our photographer!
