She went above and beyond to accommodate us and get the photos done quickly after one of our dogs received a difficult 6-month diagnosis, which meant the world to us.

We are beyond grateful and couldn't recommend her more highly.

We always have our family portraits with Anna plus we also did my daughters senior pics here!!! Each and every time I am so happy about our photos that I keep coming back!!! My photos always come out amazing and I am never ever disappointed with the quality of work and the amazing staff of Ultra-Spective. Anna and her staff are always so friendly and patient. Her studio is warm and welcoming and she has many back drops to choose from. They capture the best candids that make the picture look so natural. We recently decided to get my whole family in one big photo but thought it would be impossible! Only because I have 8 sisters, 1 brother and about 30 nieces and nephews plus their kids!! Impossible right?!?!?! Nope!!! Anna decided that we can schedule different times/days that each family could do and somehow she would do her magic and make one big photo. Out of the 10 different families, only 2 families weren't able to attend a session:(. Anyways, I was so happy about the outcome of our canvass's!!! It looks so much better in person!!! And especially on my wall at home!!!

Ultra-Spective is truly the way to go! We hired Anna to be our photographer for our big day. She…read morewas wonderful! From our engagement session, which was included in the package, through the entirety of the wedding, Anna and team were fantastic to work with. They just made taking pictures easy and comfortable. Crissy (maybe misspelling) was Anna's assistant on the day of the weeding. She was instrumental in assisting my wife with her dress, setting up the shots, and organizing the family for the group pictures. Not only are they great to work with, the photos are breath taking. We wouldn't recommend any other photographer more than Ultra-Spective to capture your wedding day. Tip: Ultra-Spective offers a "guest-book", which is a compilation of pictures taken during the engagement session organized in a book with custom prompts such as "give the newly weds advice". We used this as the guest book at our wedding and it was perfect! High recommend!

What can I say about Merridith Robertson Photography but AMAZING!! I asked Merridith to do my son's…read moreSenior pictures and with that came a tall order. I decided since my son was closing one chapter in his life, I wanted not only pictures of just him but I wanted to make it bigger and more memorable. I asked her if she would be able to do some family shots for us as well, his brother and him, and us all together etc... than it became bigger, I wanted to include his father, step mom and their son. I felt that this would be a great memory for my us and my son to have. So we had 4 adults 3 kids and of course we had to include the 2 dogs! We chose Sycamore Grove, and I had all these shots planned in my head.. and my expectations were blown away! Merridith did a wonderful job capturing some very special moments between our family & these memories we will have forever.. Merridith was very patient with all of us, the dogs, the different shots we tried to do, as well as the clothing changes!! She was professional and helpful, gave great suggestions and wonderful and fun to work with. When I saw all the photo's I was so blown away it was hard for my to choose a photo to send out for my sons grad announcements, as well when we planned his graduation party I decided to showcase the whole portrait session on a poster I had printed up, because I could not just choose some. Merridith also took some actions pictures of my youngest son playing baseball, it is really nice to have someone else to take pictures of your child when most of the time I am wanting to watch and miss the shots! Merri walked around the game, and was able to get some great action shots of him hitting, pitching, and field time. It's wonderful to have captured these memories, and I was very happy to see these shots! I will and have highly recommended Merridith to shoot photos, and am looking forward to having her do my sons 8th grade promotion pics as well as she will be doing his Senior Pics when that time comes! We couldn't have be more pleased!!

Merri chose this beautiful park in Livermore right next to vineyards, open walkways, and a gorgeous historical Victorian home. Even though it felt like one of the hottest days of the year, Merri made the whole session relaxing and fun. She captured all of us at our "best" angles, and made us feel comfortable and confident. It is no easy task capturing good pictures of a one year old, but to this day they are my favorite pictures of our little man. We can't wait to book our next session adding another little one to the family. I would definitely recommend Merri to anyone. She is one photographer who is great at what she does, and will make you love getting your picture taken. We had a blast. Thanks again Merri!

We had such a great time taking photos because of Aileen's bubbling personality and ability to make people feel comfortable being in front of a camera. I liked our couple shots so much that I asked her for a headshot session as well! She got the photos back to me in under 24 hours and they look wonderful! Attaching some photos below. I highly recommend Aileen for any kind of photoshoot.

His eagerness to do our wedding, and his pricing made it an easy choice for us to make. He included an engagement session with his pricing, the rehearsal dinner, and the full day of the wedding (no time limit of say "only 5 hrs"). After looking at different wedding photos and various styles, we decided that although we liked some traditional portrait style shots, we were most interested in candid shots of us, our wedding party, family and all of our guests. Will did his absolute best at taking candid shots of the "getting ready" for both the girls and the guys, brides and grooms pre-wedding shots with their respective families, beautiful wedding ceremony shots and many many spontaneous and candid shots at the reception. You couldn't have a more dedicated photographer. :)

She works really hard before, during and after photo sessions to ensure that her clients are over the moon once they receive their photos. Cheryl has been taking photos of my son and my family for 6+ years and she never fails to capture personalities and provide us with stunning images. We're so spoiled with her images! She really is that good.

Simply put, Cheryl is an amazing photographer! My husband and I have been married for 29 yrs. and…read morehave had our family portraits done only twice and have been less than thrilled with the results both times. Maybe that's why it's taken us 15 yrs. to update them, but with a new grand son and a new son in law....it was time. Cheryl let us choose where we wanted the photo's taken and came prepared with many props and cute little toys for our grandson. The photo shoot took much more time than expected because our 3 yr. old "Mr. Grumpy Pants" had no nap and was not being cooperative that day. Poor Cheryl, she did everything to get him to smile and pose for the camera (including being repeatedly struck in the head by a stuffed animal). In the end, we were SO thrilled with the photo's she captured of our family. I was especially thrilled that as early as the next day she had a few "teaser" shots sent my way. Cheryl pays close attention to details and lighting and takes time to edit photo's so they look their best. We found her pricing very reasonable, especially given the quality of her photography. I can't wait for our family to continue to grow so we can have our portraits taken by Cheryl again!

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!

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!
