Not only is Chris a great person to work with, he helps you through the session and works with you to get the "right" shots. An all-round nice guy and the quality of the photos are most impressive. I'll definitely utilize his services again and I would highly recommend to anyone considering.

This review is long overdue, but very well deserved. Last year around this time, my family went to…read moreBig Bear Lake for vacation. We asked Christopher to take family pictures for us and he delivered above our expectations for sure. They are still our favorite pictures. My daughter is very shy, but he was able to capture her attention and got some adorable pictures. He was familiar with the area and had a lot of great suggestions for the "golden hour" locations, along with recommendations based on how busy they would be. The price was competitive, quality is fantastic, and turnaround was quick. We couldn't have asked for anything better! Thanks again!

If you ever need photography services, I highly recommend Rikki! First off, he was very welcoming…read moreand attentive when I was looking for inquiries. He replied right away, gave wonderful suggestions, even composed a contract which i thought was very professional. It just shows how passionate and serious Rikki is when it comes to his services. Prior to the photoshoot, he did some virtual investigating of the campus, told us what places we'd visit just in the right time of golden hour, when to use props for best lighting, even gave us a series of GIFs he made which i thought was the highlight of his work! So it made me really excited for this photoshoot. When the day came for the photoshoot, Rikki gave many suggestions as to pose! Of course, it'd be really great if you know how to pose as well so you could maximize the time you have with him! We got the photos the same week so you can definitely count on Rikki to be accountable for his quick services! I'll definitely be recommending him to our friends/family!

The best photographer in the area! Not only was Rikki extremely professional, warm, welcoming, and…read morepatient but his shots/edits were truly beautiful. I reached out to him for a graduation shoot and he was extremely responsive and it was extremely easy to set up a time for the shoot, he sent over a contract, and even provided a list of suggested locations. Through his guidance and expertise, we were able to select wonderful locations throughout UCI for the pics and he was extremely genuine and thoughtful in creating an environment for me to feel comfortable. (I was super nervous about posing since I'm not the best). His attention to detail was immaculate and he always ensured that I saw the pictures throughout the shoot and was satisfied with them before moving on to the next location or pose. He even allowed us to go over time and was very flexible! Truly, a great experience!!

Misti was very nice and professional when it came to the planning and showing up for the wedding…read more She took pictures with nice views and distances. Problem was that we discussed prior to the signing of the contract that we would like to have our pictures edited a certain way. More dark and cool, not so shaded and tan/warms. We wanted this cause it would look beautiful with the dark trees of the forest as well as my dark hair against my pale skin. I also didn't want my skin blending into my ivory dress. We gave her 3 example pictures of how we would like it as well. She agreed on many occasions that it would be okay. We also verified with her on the DAY OF our wedding that it would be done that way and she assured us. When we received our pictures 3 weeks later, NONE of them were as discussed and when we told her what we discussed she then deleted ALL of our pictures (about 150-200) from the link and only re-edited about 15 of them to the picture editing we discussed. Not to mention they were done very quickly and just looked really bad. My face looked dark. I was able to download most of them before she deleted them from the link but it's more so a disappointment because it was not what we disused and we can't get this day back. This was suppose to be a really BIG SPECIAL time in our lives. I live with this sadness now. So disappointed. Edit: I have attached our email correspondence and the 3 pictures we asked for the editing to look like and she agreed she could do BEFORE we signed the contract. I also attached the photos she took and edited. Her editing style is pretty, yes but it's the fact that it's not what we all discussed and agreed upon. We were under the impression of at least receiving 50-50 her style and the style we discussed but that's not what happened. At the end of the day my husband and I decided to just take what we got and move forward because it's not like anything will change and there are 2 sides to every story. This review is written because we are hurt and disappointed but it is what it is.

I was in search of a photographer to do our fall family photos in a unique setting. I chose Misti…read morethrough yelp search. She has so much experience and knows what people want. Misti is a lifestyle photographer. Our posed pictures are great, but the photos of us just being silly and enjoying the lake/forest together are so beautiful. She really captured my families love and happiness. It wasn't easy getting our 8 month old to look and smile at the camera, but she was very patient and worked around us. She got tons of great shots. Although she's busy, she still gets your photos to you quickly. For me personally, she does the right amount of editing and filtering. All the photos were cropped perfectly as well (I'm very particular). She truly is an amazing photographer/artist. Our photo shoot with Misti was worth the drive up to the mountains. She's super affordable and worth every penny. She really made my vision come to life and I will cherish our first family photos forever! I would definitely book her in the future for all my family's photos.

Neale has a way of making you feel completely at home in his studio. He takes his time to make sure ALL the details come together the way they should and makes it seem and feel effortless on your part. His work is just light years away from anything I've ever seen... We have people ask us all the time "Who was your photographer!?" It really does feel good to know we have QUALITY pictures that will last a life time. I doubt we will ever have pictures done by anyone else as nice as our engagement and wedding photos. Thanks again Neale! You are truly a MASTER at what you do sir!
