After the ease of setting up day, time, and place, deposit and contract were sent. Everything was done electronically, making it convenient. The day of the session went well despite a little wind making hair placement difficult. Other than that, she arrived on time and accommodated our change of location requests. My only complaint is that she didn't take as many candid or playful shots of the kids or family as I expected. I also felt like we didn't get as much direction as to how to pose. She did advise us in what order to stand. I would have maybe liked a few seated poses as well. Overall, she was friendly and professional. She even took some photos with my old polaroid camera per my request. The finished work arrived quickly via a link through email with direction on how to download and select favorites. The images are beautiful and the turn out with final editing was fast, approximately 2 to 3 days. I am pleased with how everything went and how it turned out. Thank you for taking beautiful pictures of our Ohana surrounded by beautiful Hawaii!

The silly poses were my favorite because that was us just being ourselves :) Jimmy was such a pleasure to work with. Even during the busy holiday season, he was able to fit us into his schedule and provide digital copies of our session within 1 week of our photoshoot. Excellent service and communication! He gave us great wardrobe suggestions ahead of time for what would be most flattering, and what we would be most comfortable in. During the actual photo session, Jimmy kept us laughing because we were both kind of nervous. All of the photos are of us genuinely smiling/laughing, which is so much better than looking stiff and uncomfortable :) We are looking forward to working with Jimmy again for our wedding!!

A year later, she took our family's pictures for our son's one year birthday (cake smash) as well as for the holiday cards. She has a studio at her home with plenty of snacks while you do your sessions. It's also heated for those chillier winter months. The props she has are amazing and add a lovely style to her photos. She has a natural talent for finding perfect poses and the experience to get great angles. She also does locations other than her studio for photo shoots. For our maternity pictures we were at the beach and for our family pics we went to a hiking trail. She's able to taylor yo meet your needs. Her turnover to get pictures back to you is always quicker than she stated which is so lovely (especially when you want to get out holiday cards!) I highly recommend Jessica for her stellar services! You won't be disappointed! Loop

Amazing!! She's simply amazing!!!…read more I have one child, and her Senior Session was one that we looked forward to for many years. I reached out to a friend of mine who also does photography and she provided me with a list of photographers she would recommend. I told her I wanted the photographer she would use for her own pictures because I valued her opinion. She said without a doubt, select Leigh Castelli. I sent my daughter the links of all the photographers, and she too selected Leigh, so, we moved forward with booking. We had no idea what to expect, only that my daughter wanted her session at the beach. We met Leigh there and she had already found a few places she wanted to take pictures. The scenery, the lighting, and the moments she captured were absolutely perfect! She seemed to have a natural way about bringing out my daughter's personality immediately. She spent nearly two hours all over the area capturing shots I would never have imagined. I didn't have to worry about a thing; just let her do her work, and that's exactly what I needed. That evening she sent us a sneak peek of the photos and within a week I had the entire digital download available for me to make my selections. Leigh Castelli Photography was everything I hoped for, and much more. I'm so thankful to have found her to capture one of the most precious events in my daughter's life. Thank you, Leigh! I will definitely use your services in the future and will recommend you to everyone.

Not only is she talented in her editing, but her eye for lighting and scenery are spot on. During the shoot, she showed my partner and I photos she had taken of us on her camera, and we were both surprised at how stunning they looked without editing. Even if you are not entirely sure about what you want for your wedding or engagement pictures, Luyi provides great suggestions for beautiful nearby locations. We wanted something out in nature, and she suggested Lake Cuyamaca. Neither of us had been there before, but we LOVED the autumn colors and serenity of the lake; it was perfect! She also knew of an unfinished landmark near the lake that looks much like Knapp's Castle, which was a great spot for beautiful photography. My man isn't too big on taking photos because he's not the most comfortable in front of a camera, but Luyi made sure he felt at ease during the process. That way, in the photos, he would also appear genuine and comfortable which, in turn, made for authentic shots of our relationship! She has a fun sense of humor and is so friendly, you're guaranteed to have a good time while shooting with her. Highly recommend!
