One more note: Maria has taken headshots during two of those shoots for my husband's and daughters' law firm that capture the spirit of their firm and their shared professional goals.

Letty thank you for some amazing family photos!…read more With very small kids, a nice family photo shoot felt daunting to me. Letty was so easy to work with, and so helpful in planning every step of the way. She even provides great guidance on what to wear. Her contract and payment process is virtual and convenient and very easy to navigate. The digitals were available to us quickly and easy to download and enjoy. Honestly, I wasn't even sure about what type of pictures and combinations of family photos I wanted; but Letty was flexible and creative and helped us come up with great poses and ideas. She is also adventurous enough to try beautiful on-site locations. My daughter especially had a great time. All in all, the outcome was memorable once-in-a-lifetime photos that I will always cherish.

We used Lindsey for both our maternity and newborn photos and I could not recommend her more…read morehighly! For maternity- Lindsey made my husband and I both feel very relaxed and she had great ideas for shots along the beach. She helped position us and even had options of maternity dresses for me to wear. She also was super friendly so it was great to work with her! For newborn- Lindsey again was very friendly and handled our baby with great care. You can tell she really has a love for both babies and photography which is what makes her amazing at what she does. We did these photos at her studio which is full of options for newborns to wear and tons of different set ups so you can get a lot of unique shots. We live in San Jose and she was well worth the drive down to salinas. Thanks again Lindsey for the great experience and amazing photos!

My experience with Ronnie Esparza Photography was downright unacceptable. During my daughter's team…read morevolleyball photoshoot, she had an individual picture taken while still wearing her sunglasses. My wife immediately noticed and politely asked Ronnie to take a quick retake once she removed them. Before my daughter could remove them, he snapped another shot and flat-out refused to take another one--claiming he only took two shots per kid. The issue? My wife personally watched him retake photos for several other girls moments later. That kind of inconsistency is unfair and unprofessional. If he's going to enforce rules, they should apply to everyone, not selectively! While he did issue a refund, that does nothing to make up for my daughter missing out on a proper photo to remember her season. Sports photos are supposed to be meaningful keepsakes, but his dismissive attitude made the entire experience feel rushed and impersonal. It would have taken him seconds to retake the picture and show even the slightest care for his work or his clients but he didn't. Ronnie Esparza Photography clearly lacks basic customer service skills and fairness. I won't be using his services in the future, and I strongly advise others to look elsewhere if you value professionalism and respect.

We had a lot of family come in for the surprise and she was extremely professional with guiding all of them as well. As for the shoot itself, Lorinda captured our memorable moment with some stunning images. She knew exactly what she was doing, which lighting worked for each pose, she made us very comfortable, and the whole shoot felt very candid. Thank you again Lorinda for everything, 5/5 is an understatement.

After reviewing our concerns, they acknowledged that the photos were poor quality and initially refunded us $700. Our contract also included a USB containing all of our wedding photos, which we never received. When I contacted Nancy about it, she advised me that it would be better to leave the photos in the online gallery. I trusted her recommendation. However, only a few weeks later, all of our wedding photos were deleted. Nancy later told me that her daughter had accidentally deleted them and agreed to issue a full refund. She then changed her mind and claimed that I had chosen not to receive the USB--even though she was the one who advised me to keep the photos online. We received only 175 photos, many of which were poor quality, repeated two or three times, overly zoomed in, or showed people partially cut out. When I tried printing the photos, it said they were low quality and they would print blurry. We gave them several opportunities to resolve this matter fairly and honor their agreement. Instead, they stopped responding to our emails. Wedding photos are irreplaceable, and based on our experience, I cannot recommend this business.
