We didn't have to prepare much and Mily worked us through everything. It was exactly the experience we expected -- a breezy fun entertaining photographing experience, which itself is also as important as the final delivery. Mily gave us a wonderful time! Final results also look awesome. We had many choices to choose from and she set up a very nice digital tool to let us select what we want and pick ones we want to use for final deliverable. It has been great and I cannot be more grateful for Mily! Will work with her again after the baby is born!

We had the most wonderful experience with Beverly and Steve at Love Me Silly! We brought in our…read morenewborn at eight days old, and Beverly (we have dubbed her "the Baby Whisperer") was so gentle and patient with him. She knew exactly how to swaddle and pose him, while Steve was a true artisan with the camera. Steve captured the most expressive shots at all the right angles. Beverly and Steve were also very receptive to our requests! My husband is a rock climber, so we wanted to create a couple of newborn pictures that included his climbing gear. Beverly made it come together so beautifully! Steve and Beverly were also patient and kind about newborn messes (spraying during diaper changes, spit up after feeding, etc.). They've seen it all (they are parents themselves), and the mess doesn't faze them. In addition, they gave some great advice to ease my anxieties as a first-time mom. We are so pleased with our experience here. The final photos are beautiful and we'll cherish them for a lifetime. I can't recommend this studio highly enough.

We had such a great experience with Love Me Silly Photography! Even though our baby was around 8…read moreweeks old (well past the usual 15-day newborn window), they were incredibly patient and accommodating. They gave us plenty of time to settle and feed the baby, and even when she spit up all over their couch, they were nothing but kind and reassuring. Their home studio was warm and welcoming, and they went the extra mile--at one point, their daughter even played with my toddler so we could focus on photos. As any parent knows, getting a toddler and a newborn to cooperate is no small task, but they made it feel easy. The final photos were beautiful and captured our kids perfectly. I'd highly recommend them to anyone looking for a thoughtful, talented, and genuinely kind photography team!

My wife and I hired Emma for our wedding in Costa Mesa and we are so happy that we did! Emma made…read moreus feel instantly comfortable and captured such beautiful photos of our wedding. We were originally a bit nervous because my wife and I don't typically do photoshoots and sometimes feel uncomfortable being romantic in front of a camera (we didn't even do an engagement shoot for that reason), but with Emma it was so easy and natural. We had a great time taking photos with her and loved her visions for our wedding party, detail shots, golden hour photos, and everything else. Thank you so much Emma!

Emma is truly a superstar. There are not enough good things to say about her in a review…read more We received our wedding photos a couple weeks ago, and they are incredible. Emma and her assistant (I am so sorry that I am forgetting her name) were able to capture everything we loved about that day. We got so many photos as part of our package, and there are no duds. It is an impossible task to go through and pick our favorites. The photos are the part of the wedding that last forever, and we could not be happier that we went with Emma. What my wife and I were drawn to about Emma's photos when we were shopping around, and what we saw reflected in our own photos, is her ability to capture little moments. She has a great sense for when something subtle but meaningful is happening, like a family member starting to tear up, or a speechgiver's friend in the crowd laughing at their joke. That's what is really valuable about the photos to us, and something I am not sure every photographer can get you. She is also a consummate professional. She is efficient and purposeful-she makes sure she captures all the important moments without consuming your whole day with photos. She provides clear instructions, which is helpful as the wedding couple, but is even more helpful when you are taking family photos with several different combinations of people. Emma is also so kind and lovely to be around. I normally do not like having photos taken of me, and it can be uncomfortable to be in that many photos, making serious faces, and allowing someone in during a highly emotional day. Emma makes that whole process comfortable and enjoyable. You can tell she has a real passion for doing this and truly enjoys getting to know the couples. Her friendliness and confidence put you at ease. This is a really important point-you spend as much time with the photographer on your wedding day as anyone else! Emma is a great person to spend that time with. I also want to note that all of the above is also true of Emma's assistant. Again, I am so sorry I am forgetting her name. But she was in charge of getting most of the groom and groomsmen photos at the beginning of the ceremony, and was such a pleasure to work with. That was the point in which I was the most nervous, and she made the whole process go smoothly and the day started out on a great foot as a result. We cannot recommend Emma enough.

If you want to re-live your big day over and over again years later, James is your guy! My wife and I had never done a professional photoshoot. Neither of us are particularly comfortable in front of the camera. After interviewing 5 different photographers, we knew from our first conversation that James was the one. He is incredibly friendly, easy going, and knowledgeable. We agreed to do an engagement session, 1 location for 90mins to see if we'd be comfortable working with James. It couldn't have gone better. Initially, we were a bit stiff, but James gave us tips on how to act naturally, suggested poses and hand positions that made us feel and look relaxed. The time flew by and we actually ended up going to a second location with a wardrobe change. Overall, it was about 2 hours. James did not mind at all. In fact, he probably could've gone longer if the sun hadn't set on us! Our photos were edited and received in less than 2 weeks! James was kind enough to print a large poster and sign that shipped to our house in just a few days. He price matched any package/prints from other photographers. Having gone through our engagement session seamlessly, we hired James to shoot our wedding as well. He and an assistant were on site for 10 hours, tending to our every need and keeping us on our timeline. After our planned family/wedding party photos, we hardly even noticed them working as we proceeded with wedding events. After the wedding, we received many compliments on how great James was and several guests asked for his contact information. Within a couple of days, we received a preview of about 20 photos highlighting our big day. We were thrilled! Every important moment was captured so elegantly! The full magazine of photos was available for download in about 1 month. James then worked with us to print a high quality photo book for our coffee table. You can't go wrong with James--his high quality work and work ethic speak for themselves. There is no substitute for how easy and stress free he made us feel, so that we could truly enjoy ourselves knowing that he would capture every single moment candidly. Do not hesitate to hire James, it will be the best decision you will ever make.

After finding Karen on Facebook, I finally decided it was time to make the jump. She had created a Facebook environment that was friendly, supportive and inclusive so I knew she was the one I needed to do my photos. From initial conversation to the day of the shoot Karen was friendly, informative and communicative. She gave me all my options and walked me through my choices. Then on the day of the shoot, I had so much fun. I was never uncomfortable or nervous. Hair and make up did their magic. All three ladies made me feel comfortable and beautiful. I had previously told Karen that I had chronic RBF, wasn't fan of my butt, and couldn't pose. She promised she had tricks for all of those concerns. And oh boy, did she deliver. The pictures she captured were absolutely gorgeous. She patiently helped me go through over a hundred amazing photos to select my favorites. I am so thankful for this experience and I really don't think it would have been nearly as awesome if I hadn't chosen Karen to do these pictures. Worth the 3 hour drive for sure! Thank you!!!
