Fangting came on my radar when I saw a friend post some spectacular maternity photos. From there we were connected and planned a mommy and me shoot for me. I was uncomfortable leaving the house but she offered not only to come to me, but to provide the wardrobe as well! She really made this experience so easy and wonderful, she was knowledgeable, prepared and clearly experienced working the camera and with my son. She edited quickly and I just can't stress how happy I am with the outcome. Can't wait to book her in the read more

I was referred to Fangting for baby photos by a friend who had used her services for several different photoshoots, and I was always impressed by the various creative props and outfits and neat locations around San Diego she had taken photos in. The lighting of the photos and detail was always on point and oh so flattering. So when I saw a promo she was doing for a studio shoot for babies who were newly sitting-up independently I jumped on it for our 8-month old baby girl. I was not disappointed! I was nervous leading up to the shoot about every drool mark and rash that our baby had, thinking it would ruin the photos, and we were of course running behind and the baby was approaching naptime and was teething and drooling copiously the day of the shoot. Turns out I had no reason to be nervous. The powers of a talented photographer and staging and photo editing! We are so happy we have beautiful photos to cherish from this special stage of our baby's life, especially as her eyes are changing to darker brown and Fangting was able to capture their current hazel color, and her adorable chubby cheeks. Maddie came out still looking like herself, awkward hair and all, but the best version of herself that we all wish we could capture. Fangting was very patient and had a comfortable couch in her Mission Valley studio for us to get everything situated. We never felt rushed. She had everything needed for the photos and suggested the poses, although if we were so inclined she's the type who would easily work with your ideas. We were able to stay close to the baby, who was pretty tipper as a new sitter, and it was all very safe. One parent stayed by the baby to catch her falls and the other danced around trying to get her to smile. What would have helped is if we had brought some more toys from home to capture the baby's attention. There were a lot of interesting new things to play with and look at in the studio other than the camera lens lol. Photos came back quickly (1-2 weeks) and we are thrilled with how they turned out! As a bonus, Fangting and her husband took some behind-the-scenes video snippets and shared them with us. An unexpected treat and preview. Thanks, Fangting! PS - Yes this was during Covid times and we appreciated that her studio was still open and following safety protocols (temperature screening, masks, etc). read more

We booked a Christmas mini session for our first family photos. The studio is really cute and had an area to change the baby as well as a dressing room for my husband and I to change. We were able to include our dog in the photos which was really important to us! The backdrop we chose was so beautiful and perfect for our Christmas cards. Photos came back to us really quickly within a couple days. We were in and out in under an hour! I am very happy with the end result. Thank you! read more

Fangting Photography - Christmas mini shoot - Session Photography Near Me - San Diego, California

Fangting is AMAZING!!! So much so that she's been my daughter's photographer several times now. She has done my daughter's six month Sitter photos, my daughter's One Year Old photos (in which I told her what I envisioned and she brought it to life), and we've just had our 2023 Christmas photos done with Fangting. There was a point where my daughter absolutely was not in the mood for photos but Fangting was amazing with her. She was patient, calm, kind and completely understanding. She took a pause in the session and offered my girl a snack and after a bit we tried again. What I thought was going to be a failed session with my two year old and having no good photos to choose from.. ended up being greater than I could have imagined. When I received the gallery to choose from, I was shocked because Fangting was still able to get so many great shots of my Little!! With smiles and laughs! Fangting has got the magic with photography and kids. Not to mention her use of bold color is *chefs kiss*. I absolutely love how our photos come out every time we use Fangting photography. Her photos always come out so crisp and beautiful. I recommend her to anyone needing a photographer!!! Thank you Fangting! We appreciate you and you're the best! read more

I HAD A AMAZING SESSION, drove all the way to San Diego from Orange County to get my sons first birthday pictures done. She was so helpful and very nice. My son doesn't smile too often but was able to get him to smile that day! After him doing a smash cake she opened up her deep sink for us to wash our son, offered us a towel and was just super helpful with everything. Her studio was nice and clean and very well operated. She offered us drinks and snacks to go for our long drive. I am now 13 weeks pregnant and I can't wait to book for our maternity shoot. read more

If I could give Fangting 10 stars I would!!!!! Fangting is an amazing photographer and I highly recommend her! If I have another photo shoot coming up, I will utilize her photography services again! I was searching Yelp for a photographer that I needed for a personal professional business photo shoot. I was in correspondence with several photographers and studios requesting estimates on the photo session that I needed. I am so excited and happy that I made the right choice in choosing Fangting for the session. I found her to be very thorough and quick to respond in all her communication with me prior to the shoot. In speaking with her on the phone and sharing my vision of the type of photo session I was looking for, she greatly understood exactly what I was looking for, and you can definitely see it by the finished product!!! On the day of the photo session, Fangting helped me to quickly relax and be comfortable around her. She was very easy-going and new exactly how to direct me and would show me the photos that she was taking as we went along...that way I could see if I liked the look and the location. She's amazing!!! Book her photography services, you won't regret it!!! You will be so happy you did! Thanks Fangting!!! Adrian Demian Global Executive read more

I reached out to Fangting to capture my proposal to my girlfriend, which was outdoor and during nighttime hours. Within minutes of reaching out to her on yelp, we were having a conversation about the details. I provided ideas on several locations, and times and I received excellent feedback for making it happen. Fangting was open to my ideas and worked with me to ensure that what I wanted was what I got. I even gave Fangting my thoughts on floral arrangements and candles for added touch. She took charge and reached out to a florist for arrangements and candles. Like a true professional, Fangting met me at the shoot location the night prior. She familiarized herself with the spot and lighting conditions by taking test shots. We also discussed shooting-angles and ideas for poses immediately thereafter. When the big day came, Fangting had the flowers and candles set up and ready to go. All I had to do was walk my girlfriend into place (with blindfold) and then reveal the surprise by popping the big question. We followed by taking engagement photos at the same location, which turned out great. I received many photos and Fangting's prices were very reasonable compared to other photographers I looked into. I even got the video option, which was an added touch to capture this special moment. I highly recommend that. I am very pleased with Fangting's professionalism, flexibility, attention, and service. I highly recommend Fangting for your photography needs. Thank you Fangting! read more

If you're looking for an amazing photographer, look no further. Fangting is one of those people that not only are they professional in what they do, but she's also very personable that you end up becoming friends with her. I took my maternity photos with her and she did such an amazing job at a reasonable price. Fangting was doing a lemon bath promo for babies and I am so glad that we were able to Colin some amazing shots. Fangting was so good with Colin, very patient and understanding. She had a genuine love for not only getting the right photos, but for the baby itself. You know how if it's your baby, you go above and beyond to get that perfect shot? That's how Fangting works, except that all the photos she takes are amazing. She's just got that artistic eye to get the shots at the perfect moment, all the while making sure that the baby was happy and safe. I would highly recommend Fangting as a photographer, whether it be for your proposal, engagement, wedding, maternity, newborn, baby, family, etc. That's another great thing about her, she captures every kind of moment, which I think is rare. It's like having a personal photographer of your huge life moments and you grow with them. Thanks Fangting, for all the beautiful moments that you've helped captured! read more

We were clients of Fangting in San Diego, CA. I would like promote her new business expansion in the Los Angeles area by sharing my review of her excellent service and recommending her to my Yelp community! PM me for more details! Photography is a precious and careful art. The master behind the lens is charged with the responsibility of capturing an ephemeral moment that would otherwise pass with the seconds of time. When you hire a photographer, you are entrusting them to apply their art, skills, and talents to capture specific, valuable moments that you want to remember forever- whether it is your wedding day, happy moments shared with the family, or the joy of your family and children. For us: our precious rainbow babies finally turned 1 this year. The years leading up to their birth, and the days, weeks, and months that followed, carried a significant meaning to our families. It was very important (both personally and culturally) that we capture our boys for their 1st year milestone. There are not enough words to express our gratitude for Fangting in taking our family photos. We were seeking a reasonably priced individual that we could trust with this moment in time, and Yelp led us to Fangting. As mentioned above, we wanted to be sure to capture the appropriate artist for this very important moment in our lives so we shopped around for weeks. Although there are many talented folks based in San Diego, we ultimately chose Fangting based on several factors: (1) Talent: As evidenced through her portfolio, Fangting has an artistic eye. She has many more examples aside from the beautiful ones already featured on her website. Feel free to ask her for other examples. We, for example, received examples of her work with young children in a public setting. She evidenced her ability to capture squirmy young ones who aren't quite of age to follow directions. This gave us high confidence that she would be able to take on the project. (2) Communication: As a professional, one thing I cannot stand is poor or impersonal communication. Fangting satisfied my every desire with 100% on-point communication. She offers you a means to connect via telephone, email, and text based on your personal preference. She is quickest by text, but otherwise prompt on all other forms of communication. I highly appreciated this -- especially when I had questions about the process, dates, etc. She provided all the information quickly and promptly. (3) Price: Fangting is extremely competitive for price. In fact, we received MUCH, MUCH more than what we had bargained for. We hired her for the hour -- she ensured that we received MORE than the hour at our first session.. then graciously offered us a SECOND session at her studio because our boys were having a bad day during the first session (wrangling two newly mobile kids under the age of 1 and trying to capture both smiling at the camera is daymn near impossible). Fangting acknowledged and understood the cultural and personal importance of the photo session to our families. Her generosity did not stop there! She provided additional edited photos than what was promised. My husband and I were absolutely speechless with the final product, the number of photos we received, and the gift to both our families. I remain speechless to her generosity. Those were the top three factors that led us to selecting Fangting, but there are many factors from our contact/ experience with her that would bring us back to her and refer her business. (A) Patience: She is SUCH a calm soul. As mentioned above, working with two young children who cannot take direction is NOT easy. My husband and I were flustered trying to get the kids to sit and smile or look this way or do that for the camera. She just rolled with it and took whatever opportunities presented. (My husband and I on the other hand got a major workout.) Keep in mind, she encountered our rambunctious, eager-to-explore-the-world boys TWICE. She is very brave! She was just as calm the second time around (and we were just as crazed). (B) Quality of equipment and skill with photo editing: Photography is one part, but equipment and editing is another. She graciously edited the photos with some CRAZY requests (aka: make this mommy and daddy who haven't seen a gym in over a year look skinnier). My husband (who dabbles in photography) acknowledged her PS skills & that she had good equipment. She wasn't a newbie to photography. (C) Professionalism: From start to finish, Fangting was perfect and professional. She did not falter in her timeline to return the edited photos. She maintained communication. She carried no hidden costs. We had a great relationship. (And I have to say: she's so pretty that I personally think she should be on the other side of the camera as the model!) All in all: TL;DR = Fantastic photographer. We highly recommend and would return (once the boys learn to sit and take directions) read more

I actually did not choose Fangting myself. Rather, she was chosen for me by the media outlet I was doing my photoshoot for. Because of this, and the fact that they are not local and made their selection somewhat blindly, I was originally a little apprehensive in their choice. My pre-photoshoot interactions with Fangting were brief and through e-mail mostly. As soon as she stepped on the scene, I could tell why she's so great at what she does! Fangting is one of the warmest strangers I've ever met. She instantly makes you feel at ease and like you are the star of the show. She carried my wardrobe/jewelry bags and refused to let me lift a finger. She even thought to bring a bottle of (frozen) water so that as the day went on, I would have an icy cold drink. Fangting was so encouraging and guided me through my first modeling shoot like a true professional. I loved the way she showed me each series of shots when we had finished and asked what I liked best so she could craft my poses and environments to best suit my comfort level. My shoot was so fun and the pictures came out amazing! Because I recommended her so highly, we are hiring her for an informal company event this week. Fangting really is the best! read more

I found Fangting through Yelp 3 years ago and there is a reason why she gets so many great reviews. She has an impeccable service and is so easy to work with. My husband is camera shy and our puppy is not always cooperative. Fang knew exactly what to tell my husband to make him at ease and she brought treats for our pup. She was so patient with her. She even brought water for us! We hired Fang for our maternity shoot and cannot be happier with the result of the photos. She got back to our e-mails promptly from the beginning to the end. I really appreciated that she took the time to made sure that everything looked good by fixing my hair occasionally and by showing us the pictures from time to time. Ever since we did our maternity shoot, we have asked Fangting to do our family photos since we have our baby girl. Every single time, Fangting knew what to do with everybody and captured the best of us. And every single time, she sent us the most amazing and beautiful pictures in a swift. It's not often you find a talented photographer who turn photos around within 24-48hrs of the shoot. She got back to us on the very next day =) I highly recommend Fangting to anyone who is looking for a fun photoshoot with beautiful and meaningful images at the end. read more

Fangting is awesome! She has the skill, personality, and most importantly she has the passion for photography that really takes her work to a whole other level. My husband and I used her on our wedding day on August 27, 2017 and we couldn't be happier with the results. In putting together our "vendor wedding dream team," we were looking for skilled people that were also down to earth and I felt I could get along with. Fangting showed both of these qualities in our first meeting and was very professional. I could tell she was experienced too because she asked a number of questions and brought up multiple things to consider that we wouldn't have even thought about. Come the day of our wedding, she is all over the place trying to find the best shot. She didn't mind getting on the ground or up on furniture to get that perfect angle. My husband is also pretty shy and feels awkward even posing for pictures but she has that natural feel that makes you comfortable in front of the camera. She makes it all about you and we really appreciated that. After only a few weeks after our wedding, she had already completed editing our photos and put them on a slideshow for us. It was so fast! Fangting is great, fun, and like I said passionate. Hire her and you won't regret it! She's someone I hope to continue seeing and working with in the future.

She had wide range of props and chose the best ones according to what we brought in. I'm sure we will be contacting her again for future kids : ) read more

I admit I am a very hard-to-please (and at-t difficult) person. Especially when it comes to artistic stuff. But boy Fangting does DELIVER amazing photos and service when I hired her to take my wife's maternity pictures. Before booking her, we contacted at least 4-5 photographers and Fangting was the first one to respond to our message. And then she gave us a very competitive quote for our session. My wife also spoke with her on the phone and seek her advice on what to wear for the pictures and the locations these pictures should be taken. Fangting was very patient and knowledgeable. She made sure the time and location are suitable for our pictures and for the season. We felt very comfortable talking to her over the phone. So we decided to book her immediately. On the day of the pictures, we arrived 5 mins earlier. And Fangting was already there! She was checking the surrounding and finding the perfect spots to take pictures for us. When we got off the car, she greeted us warmly and she even brought treats for our corgi puppy! Omg! She is so well- prepared. And our puppy of course fell in love with her and smiled the whole photo session. After the fun session, our online gallery was up within 48 hours! We enjoyed every picture she took for us and had a "hard" time choosing our favorite ones. My wife showed some pictures to her "pregnant" friends and they got so jealous. We are very glad that we found Fangting. Now we can't wait to work with her again when our baby boy joins us for the family photos. We hope this review helps you when you look for a great photographer. read more

I had the pleasure of working with Fangting at Tom Ham's Lighthouse in May. She was so easy to work with and a true team player. I have seen some of her images and highly recommend her. I was hired to do the florals for the couple she worked with and got the most amazing pictures of the couple and my florals. I look forward to seeing more of her beautiful and artistic work. She was the first vendor to arrive and the last to leave. High quality work, professional worth the investment. Her photography of that special day is something you will treasure forever.

FangTing took my graduation photos. This is the first time I have done a photoshoot so I was pretty shy but she made me feel comfortable and advised me how to pose and when to smile. She was on time to our photoshoot, if anything I was late by 10-15 minutes and she was very kind about it and would rather me arrive late and safe than to rush and have something happen. Once we arrived to my campus, I picked out a few spots and I never felt rushed to take photos within the hour, she was very pleasant and genuine. I loved how my photos came out and love the edits she made. She had my photos within days. She is very quick to respond to emails, texts ,and calls. I would highly recommend her. read more

Amazing Photographer! So glad we went with her! Best wedding photos, clear, magical and made posing easy! We're awkward people, but with Fang we felt so comfortable and the photos made us look even better than we could have asked for! Would recommend for sure! read more
