We cannot recommend Constance enough! After our original photographer did a complete no call, no…read moreshow for our newborn son's photo shoot, we were stressed, disappointed, and worried we'd miss those precious early moments. She truly came to the rescue. Not only did she respond quickly, but she was able to fit us into her schedule within just a few days. From the moment she arrived, she was professional, calm, and incredibly patient with our newborn. She handled our son with such care and made the entire experience feel relaxed and enjoyable during what can be a very overwhelming time for new parents. The photos turned out absolutely stunning -- more beautiful than we could have imagined. She captured the sweetest little details and moments that we will treasure forever. Her talent, kindness, and willingness to step in last-minute meant so much to our family. If you're looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and exceptionally talented, look no further. We are beyond grateful for her and would book her again in a heartbeat!

Constance approached me in Rockridge when I was super pregnant at the end of October - she shared…read moreher business card, and I checked out her website. Really liking her style of photography, we scheduled a newborn photo session with Constance at the end of November with our two week old son. Constance was incredibly responsive and professional. Not only that, she is a baby photo whisperer - she had a bunch of helpful suggestions to help our time together go smoothly. She brought a whole bag of adorable outfits and props, and she was happy to let us choose some of our own outfits, too. For this session we decided to stay home and take photos around our house and yard, and they turned out beautifully. We are so pleased with these special keepsakes! Constance also made it easy to review the raw photo collection after the shoot, choose the ones we wanted, and deliver the final files all online. She also offers large size prints! In the future I'd love to do an on-location shoot with our son in the redwoods of Oakland. I already have ideas :) Thank you, Constance!

Looking for a photographer to catch the best moments in your life? Karen is it!…read more From emails, texts and our entire session you will feel great with the decision in having Karen be your photographer. I wish I found her sooner. But happy she was able to capture our last miracle baby. The photos are just so amazing and I can't stop looking at them. We drove from Oakley to have her do our photos, her studio is perfect and she has everything. Which is worth it because I for one am forgetful which I forgot to bring our diaper bag! Thankfully Karen came to the rescue with diapers. She has all the cute and fun things to make your photos meet your vision and then some. All my kids are rainbow babies and the rainbow photo has 7 hearts which is how many angels we have and Karen came up with the idea of adding an extra heart to make it mean more. Which made me start to tear up, our last miracle rainbow baby showed the love to not only his big sisters but to his siblings in heaven. Karen is also super sweet and we had so much to talk about during our session. My eldest daughter who is on the spectrum. I ended up learning a few things from her to help our journey in her school. You feel like she is a friend the whole time, which is something I love in a photographer is a friendly connection. She loves what she does and she's really good with kids of all ages. You won't regret choosing Karen to take photos of your family. It will be the best decision in preserving memories for generations to see.

Loved working with Karen from the very first interaction online. The communication and suggestions…read moreshe gave were terrific, and very professional. She was wonderful during our session with the adults and especially the kids.

My business mentor urged me to get a new professional photo to use on my website and other places…read morewhere I wanted my work to get noticed. I had been using an old photo (with the advantage that I looked younger, but not really as I look today) and also a drawn self-portrait that I thought did the job. But my mentor said, "People really want to see you on your website. They want that personal connection." So I went to Yelp, and winnowed the options down to 6 or 7 photographers in my area who did portrait photography. I researched the sites of all of them, and ended up feeling like the Goldilocks story: this one was too expensive, that one did professional head shots that looked more formal than what I wanted for myself, or too polished. (I didn't want to look glossy, just authentically attractive.) When I got to BK Photographie, I was met by landscape photos - but they were beautiful! Really lovely, magnetic, sensitive. I didn't see portraits of people there, but I intuitively trusted that anyone who could do such beautiful landscape photos could do headshots of me that would make me happy to share publicly. When I saw that he would actually come to my home (the other places had external studios), and charged a flat fee I could afford, I contacted him right away. The shoot went really well. Brian is a friendly guy with extensive photo knowledge. He came with all his equipment, though he didn't turn out to need it all. He suggested indoor poses (in a chair, standing by my baby grand piano) and outdoor poses (by a tree for its purple flower, by a tree for its stippled bark). He took dozens and dozens of photos, to the point where I stopped being self-conscious. At the end, he told me he would take a bit of time to choose and edit the photos, and then send them to me as jpg files. That was fine with me. When they finally arrived in my inbox, I was really happy with what I saw. He had chosen just a handful (two handsful, actually), out of the many click-click-clicks going on at the shoot. This pleased me too. He had chosen well. I have now uploaded several jpgs onto my website to replace the drawn self-portrait - and I can see the difference. I look vivid, friendly, present - and around my age. No matter. The beauty is there, and Brian found it and documented it for me to use and share. I highly recommend BK Watson Photographie!

Amy also has an eye for all the small details that matter - where to place hands, positioning each individual, making sure clothing and hair is right, etc. I was so impressed! The turnaround time for the pics was fast and we are so happy with how they turned out. Amy is an EXPERT in capturing natural lighting. The lighting in our photos is stunning!!

I was looking for a photographer in the Brentwood area as a graduation gift for my niece. She was…read moregraduating high school, and I wanted to make this moment extra special for her. I came across Kree's Yelp page because of how close she was, but what really stood out was her website--the caliber and vibrancy of her photos were incredible. I knew right away she'd be a perfect fit for capturing my niece, both in her cap and gown and in her super colorful prom dress (which I was confident Kree could do justice!). From the moment I reached out, Kree was super responsive and easy to communicate with. The contract was simple and straightforward, pricing was fair and the breakdown of her packages were awesome. and she helped us agree on a time and location that worked perfectly, not far from our house either, which was a huge plus. On the day of the shoot, Kree arrived right on time and immediately made my niece feel comfortable. Since it was my niece's first time being professionally photographed, I appreciated how Kree guided her with poses and gave her direction to bring out her best angles. She was friendly, patient, and made the whole experience fun. We received the edited photos about two weeks later, and they were amazing, better than I could have imagined. Kree truly captured my niece's personality and the significance of the moment. Highlights for me: super responsive communication, an easy-to-understand contract, a convenient location, her friendly demeanor, and of course, the beautiful final photos. Thanks so much Kree!!!

Sarah is a really talented photographer. She doesn't have many photos to show off here on Yelp, but…read moreyou can look her up on Facebook or on Instagram. I've hired her for our annual family photos during the holidays over the last four years, and have never been disappointed. It doesn't matter if we're disheveled and tired or if the kids are being fussy - she's always able to get great shots of us. She has a gorgeous portfolio of outdoor pictures, but her in-studio set designs are also very well done, creative and unique. One year for Christmas, she had my son blow on confetti and made it look like flying specs of light (or Tinkerbell's fairy dust) in post production. Another year, she had him toss pillow stuffing in the air to create the illusion of playing in the snow. This year, she had both of my kids play with string lights under strung cotton puffs and giant white cone-shaped trees. I also follow her on Instagram, where she shows off great day-in-the-life photos as well. What I love best is that she's a nice person with tons of patience and a great personality. That means a whole lot after spending time coordinating outfits (with an extra for the baby just in case), patting down the frizzies and cow-lick hair, making sure the makeup stays on, and praying that everyone gives their best smiles. Happy photog hunting everyone (but the hunt should stop here)!

Our wedding was…read morethrown together in just two weeks, and somehow everything aligned so that my first-choice photographer was available. The moment I met Amanda, it was a complete no-brainer. I just knew she was the one. Because our timeline came together so quickly, we didn't have a ton of structure going into the day--but whether she realized it or not, Amanda gave us that structure. From our initial meeting to sitting down with us again the week of the wedding to connect as a couple and walk through the timeline, she was intentional and thoughtful. I loved that she wanted to truly get a feel for us--our love story, our hopes, our dreams--not just the logistics of the day. It made everything feel so personal. On the wedding day, she was kind, personable, and carried such a light, calming spirit. She was incredibly efficient, and we felt like we made the absolute most of our time with her. She gave clear direction while still making us feel natural and comfortable, making sure we looked and felt our best. Even our friend who officiated (and has been to countless weddings) said she was hands down the best wedding photographer he's ever seen. Amanda took advantage of every photo opportunity possible, maximizing the city landscape in such a beautiful way. She even handled intense wind like a total pro! And the sneak peek she sent us afterward? Absolutely stunning. We were blown away. If you're looking for someone talented, organized, warm, and deeply invested in telling your story well, Amanda is it. We couldn't be more grateful.
