    Where do I even start!! Christina is the best photographer and Napa hands-down. I've been to a lot of other photographers in the area and no one has made me feel as comfortable and beautiful in front of the camera as Christina has. It really shows through in my photos as every single photo I got back from her is stunning, figure flattering, and the best angles. I really love the photos they're timeless, classic, and elegant. They don't look over edited and are very natural. Christina did my boudoir shoot before my wedding and I love the photos so much that I had to have her for my actual wedding photographer I was so lucky she pulled some strings for me and was able to be available on my wedding day. It made me feel so comfortable having her come from Napa Tahoe. Knowing someone was there to take amazing photos of such a special intimate day for me. I can't thank her enough that I have thees special memories for the rest of my life.

    My husband and I just had our first baby boy and when we moved into our house we knew we wanted to create a beautiful photo gallery wall of our son. Christina instantly came to my mind and we booked her right away. I am very picky when it comes to photography and Christina's artistic style aligned with mine , so there was no doubt she was going to nail it. Christina did an amazing job directing the shoot with our newborn, communicating how we should pose, keeping us calm and even making us laugh the entire time. Newborn shoots can be stressful, but she made it easy, relaxing and enjoyable. The only hard part will be picking out which photos you want printed in the end. We wanted them all! Sorry guys, Christina normally doesn't do newborn shoots, but I had the "in". :)

    See all

    Photographs are overexposed and the photographer is uncooperative when discussing issues such as excessive exposure.

He's wonderfully easy to work with, unobtrusive during the event, and a real artist. I'm so glad we chose him to capture our day. Thanks, Christophe!

It all started when I sent a mass message request for quotes from various photographers around the Napa area. I had planned to do a surprise proposal for my now fiance and the responses I received were unhelpful and dry. Many responses were received such as "500 flat rate" or "not available". Well, Chris responded with a very thorough and inquiring message. He sent many many suggestions of places to propose at, what the area is like, what the staff is like ... man I can't name the countless details he has discussed with me. Point being, he went ABOVE AND BEYOND what nobody else would. I had a few places in mind to propose at, but these suggestions Christophe made were fantastic. I'm talking vast mountain views and intimate settings. Open vineyards as far as the eye can see where no one is around but just you and that special person. He has done us a 100/10 service in helping plan and set up the surprise engagement. Christophe is special to me in the way that he has made this whole process a comfortable and exciting one. I was very nervous throughout the whole process and due to some miscommunication, I was devastated but Chris cleared everything up for me and the other parties involved, and from there I knew he was a man with a good heart that only wants the best for his clients. In preparation of the surprise engagement, he gave very very thorough and specific details. Like, there's no way you can go wrong!! It was so comforting knowing step by step what I should do and how to help my fiance get the best shots without compromising the surprise in any way. In the end, my fiance was so happy about the whole engagement that we couldn't stop talking about Chris and the venue the whole ride back to our hotel. We seriously commend Christophe for his professionalism and attention to detail. If ever we return to the Napa area and need a photographer, we'll be hitting you up again Chris!! Thank you so much for a wonderful experience.

    My wife and I got married this past December, and we couldn't be happier with our wedding…read morephotographer, Jennifer Michelson / A Girl and a Camera. I actually found Jennifer after searching online for photographers in San Francisco and her work immediately stood out. Her style felt fresh and unconventional -- more documentary and journalistic than traditional -- and I especially loved her use of black and white photography, which was a big reason we chose her. The day started at our hotel, where she jumped between our separate rooms to capture my wife and me getting ready. Before she had even gotten to our rooms, she had already scouted the perfect location for our first look. The moment was absolutely incredible, and she handled everything; we didn't have to do a thing but follow her lead. That professional confidence continued at City Hall. She has a masterful familiarity with the building. She took full control of the shoot, guiding us as she told us exactly where to stand, how to pose, and where to move next so we could just relax and enjoy the moment. As a photographer myself, I really appreciated her confidence and professionalism. All we had to do was follow instructions and be present. She knows San Francisco City Hall inside and out -- the lighting, the angles, the timing, and the key locations that truly matter -- every shot felt deliberate and it showed. The technical skill here is top-notch-- the compositions were beautiful, the balance of each frame was spot-on, and her gorgeous color grading. We received around 300 images, and the quality is so consistent that I plan to print every last one of them in large format to ensure we have a permanent physical archive. When we received the final package, we were so touched -- she sent our photos on a beautiful USB drive along with printed images, some sweets, and other thoughtful details. It was the perfect finishing touch to a genuinely wonderful experience. If you're getting married at City Hall -- or anywhere in San Francisco -- Jennifer Michelson / A Girl and a Camera is exceptional. Thank you Jennifer! Laura and Junior.

They were professional, attentive, and so easy to have around on such an important day. What we absolutely loved was Jennifer's eye for the little moments. Beyond the portraits and formal shots, she captured the quiet glances, the spontaneous laughter, and all the small details that made our wedding day feel like ours. We can't recommend Jennifer highly enough!

When I saw her work on social media and website, I knew I had to hire her. When I first met her in person, we hugged! I felt like I've known her for a long time. We started our session at a nice restaurant/bar in Napa and she captured some great photos of us. Our session went over a little bit longer because we had so much fun. She made us feel very comfortable the whole time. After the session, I received a few sneak peeks of our shoot the next day maybe because I bugged her a little bit (haha) but she was very responsive. I loved the photos so much that I could not stop looking at them (*happy cry* - hahaha). We shared the sneak peeks to our loved ones, and they loved them too! I would TOTALLY recommend her! We do look forward to working with her again in the future if we come back to Napa. In the meantime, I will be recommending her to future married couples, family, and friends.

    Jessie has a rare gift: she makes you feel seen before she ever picks up the camera…read more I came to Luminous Space for personal branding photography, not entirely sure how to show up or what I wanted the images to say about me. Jessie held the whole thing with such steady presence that the uncertainty dissolved quickly. She asked the right questions, created real ease in the space, and then got out of the way and let the session breathe. The editing is exceptional. The final images are honest and alive, not overproduced. They look like me on my best day, which is exactly what this kind of work requires. If you are a founder, practitioner, or creative who needs photographs that actually carry your essence, Jessie is the real thing.

    Buyer beware. The shoot went fine, but the photo I got out of it was not…read more First of all, note that she only releases *one* photo to you--one raw and one edited version! This is not at all clear from the website marketing, which states: * Photos Taken: 30-50 images * Retouched Images: 1 professionally edited photo (selected on-site) Apparently you also get only 1 raw image, though this is not stated. You have to immediately go through a lengthy three-phase process to choose that photo --no consulting with friends/partners. Okay, so maybe I should have found the fine print, but it turns out "professionally edited" means "created by AI." It generated an image that looks like a 25-year-old digital avatar of me, quite different from the original photo. The website also claims that "We offer 2 rounds of free revisions," but I have not received a response a week after asking for one. So, I'm using the raw image, which is fine.
