I could not be happier with our choice of Rachel Higgins to do my son's senior portraits…read more From the first moment, Rachel was extremely professional, creative, and incredibly easy to work with. In my son's words, "She is super chill, and I felt comfortable the entire time. She is fun, easy to talk to and she made the day fun." Rachel utilized fantastic angles of my son while also incorporating the landscape of downtown SLO that really brought every picture to life, and all of the final images were amazing! Her use of lighting, composition and her attention to detail were perfect. We absolutely love our son's pictures, and highly recommend Rachel Higgins to anyone looking for someone to capture truly exceptional photography.

Rachel's experience really paid off because she had lots of suggestions and ideas for the photoshoot. And then when our hard drive crashed and we lost all the photos, she made them all available again to us, and with a gentle recommendation to put all the photos on our Google Drive, which I did! Thanks Rachel for everything!

I seriously didn't notice her as we walked along the beach! As he said his wonderful speech to me, I didn't notice her taking photos which was perfect!! She truly captured genuine moments! Then she gave us a moment to take in everything and sweetly guided us through taking photos! She was super kind, gave us positive affirmation, was patient, and even asked if we wanted to take any specific pics!!! I truly recommend her!!!

Fiancée here! There are not nearly enough words to describe the absolute perfect experience my…read morefiancé and I had with Jaydyn Blair Photography! She was phenomenal with communicating. She gave us our space when my fiancé asked me to marry him and was still magically able to capture these once in a lifetime intimate photos. After we took a moment to process that we had stepped into the next chapter of our lives, she guided us into poses to get the best photos for our engagement! She knew what angles we needed to look our best. It was all smiles and love. Jaydyn is efficient, kind, friendly, professional, and an obvious expert in her craft. There was no doubt. She was open to suggestions however, honestly there was none and I consider myself to be pretty picky. We felt safe and seen and more importantly like we were the only people in the whole wide world although there was other people on the beach, it didn't seem like it and definitely doesn't look like it in our photos, we are spotlighted. We got engaged at Pismo Beach right near The Cliffs Hotel and Spa! The view of nature was stunning. We highly recommend Jaydyn Blair Photography and couldn't have asked for anyone better to share this ethereal experience with. We are so grateful and thankful! Every time I look at the photos, I get emotional, it brings me back to the moment and I feel like I get to relive this out of body experience that is made possible because of the images that is a flipbook of our love story. I am in awe!

First off, he was able to squeeze me in when other arrangements fell through the cracks. My photos speak for themselves, they are absolutely gorgeous. I received way more photos than I ever imagined.

We will be looking forward to working with you in the future.

Dylan was so nice, engaging, and even asked us if there were any poses we had in mind for him to take. He also asked me if I preferred black & white photos, grainy photos, candids, etc. I thought that was really nice to ask me that because it made me feel confident he would deliver exactly what I had in mind. He sent our sneak peaks to us within 2 days and the rest of the photos within a week. They came out perfectly. Better than I could imagine! I'm so thankful for this beautiful moment and being able to look back on it, thanks to Dylan and his wonderful talents!!

We did not get to meet Kasie and Patrick in person until our wedding weekend, though we interviewed…read morethem on zoom due to being from San Diego and not the SLO area. We immediately got a sense of warmth and charisma from the power couple. :) There are countless things that I can say about them but I'll say my top which I think may be of service to others who are scouting for their photographer/videographer: -Kasie and Patrick are extremely in sync. They tell it like it is in a very tactful and get-down-to-business way. When you're up against the clock, and you don't have a lot of time to be indecisive .. they can help you make sound decisions, as they are experts at their craft. Our hotel venue could not let us know where we could have a moment for the first look, but they scouted out the best spot right away. -great communication. Most of our wedding guests complimented how nice they were and how efficient and quick they were. -on my wedding day there were countless moments of stress that I could never in a million years foresee (I tried to plan for things so it'd be smooth sailing day-of) and they were like so nice to me when I felt my head was going to explode with anxiety. One of my favorite moments of the day they probably don't remember, but it was when Kasie and I were in the elevator before the first look and she was just so empathetic and kind to listen to me vent about how I felt in over my head with having such a big bridal party (who were a hand full to say in the least!) .. and also Patrick helping me put on my high heel shoes again when I took them off since they were killing my feet. 1000% would seek their services again if I'm in the area again to visit, or in town for a family reunion. Thank you for making a significant impact on our lives!!

Every session is such a great experience. She makes us feel comfortable, keeps things fun, and somehow always captures the most beautiful moments, even with a busy family. Our newborn session was especially wonderful. Michelle made the entire process so easy and relaxed, and the images she captured are truly priceless.

I can't thank Blake and Robin enough…read more I need to find better adjectives, but our wedding pictures and video teaser were BEAUTIFUL, warm and candid. Which is exactly what I was looking for in our wedding photos. Thank you for making us feel special and capturing these beautiful moments. Blake captured some awesome shots of my mother in law who despises pictures and is not shy about dodging the photographer, so he gets an A+ just for that! Thank you for your patience and working through our hiccups, which I'm sure no wedding is short of. Thank you so much for allowing us to incorporate Louie's car into our pictures which was a bit last minute but your team handled it so well and even made us look like models! You and Robin truly make an epic team. Wishing you guys many more years of success. If you are looking for a photographer and/or videographer, look no further.

Asia did a great job helping my partner feel comfortable in front of the camera as he normally avoids taking photos.

She reached out to me via text a couple hours later, and I was so excited! But then... literally nothing. I followed up with her again on August 2nd, and still no response. I've followed her on Instagram for so long now, and she is so well liked and appreciated. What did I do to deserve the lack of customer service and complete disregard that she doesn't seem to provide to anybody else? In the contact form, I wrote to her about how excited I was for this specific milestone in my life and how I would love for her to photograph it since I've followed her for SO long. She even seemed excited in the text she initiated, so I know I didn't say something wrong. At first I figured she was busy, but then I never received anything noting that she would get back to me at a later time, etc. She does such beautiful work, but I am so disappointed in the way I was treated. As of this review there was still no contact from Asia after initial text. This was very unprofessional and I hope she doesn't do this to someone else in the future.

She gave us…read moreseveral options with so much information (like the way the tide hits the sand, whether it requires a lot of walking or if parking is hard). The site we picked was exactly right thanks to her wisdom and insight! She also helped give us the perfect kinds of shots we wanted by talking it out, having us set up a collaborative pinterest board, and getting to know our family a little before our meet up. Brandi paid attention to every little detail! Even tiny things--like sending our USB tied with a little flower and some Polaroid copies of a few of the best shots. What a beautiful surprise! Also, our 3 year old has Autism and I don't think we've been able to get more than 2 pictures with him looking at the camera. Somehow Brandi managed to perfectly capture him in every shot. We will treasure these photos for life. We were absolutely delighted to work with such a kind, conscientious, and wonderful photographer. We would HIGHLY recommend her for any family or individual photos.
