We reached out to Dani when our baby girl was 12 days old and she was able to squeeze us in 4 days later! She was very flexible in the scheduling process, which we very much appreciated being brand new first time parents. She was also very professional and her studio had everything we could need! From all the props, swaddles, costumes, baby accessories ... to a changing table and extra diapers in the restroom for baby! Her photographs were also beyond what I could have expected. She even made me look refreshed despite how I was feeling at the time, having had very little sleep. Overall, would highly recommend!! We will for sure be returning for our girl's future milestone sessions! Thank you, Dani!

Prices vary on the photo shoot that you would like and all of her prices are posted right on her website. I love the transparency! So far I have done my maternity shoot, my baby's new born, and my baby's 1 year photo shoot! Dani is patient and kind which is definitely helpful when working with little one! She has plenty of wraps and baby outfits to choose from. She has her own studio in downtown Nile's but is also willing to shoot outdoors which is nice. Her style of photography is definitely what drew me to her and I wasn't let down.

I can't recommend Melissa highly enough! I had lots of extended family members in town and wanted…read moreto get a group family photo. Melissa was really easy to coordinate with and very flexible. All my folks felt very at ease and the pictures speak for themselves. If I could, I would give Melissa an extra star for going the extra mile with helping us narrow down our wardrobe choices.

First, I want to say that Melissa is very kind and makes the experience comfortable, even if you're…read morenervous or shy in front of the camera. She's warm, welcoming, and easy to work with. I received around 80 edited proofs to choose from, and there were plenty of great options for my final selections. She also offers a wardrobe with beautiful dresses, as well as some clothing options for men. The location suggestions she provided were excellent, and she did a great job capturing the style and vibe I had in mind. That said, I do feel the need to mention some concerns about professionalism and turnaround time. Her contract states that proofs will be delivered within 2-4 weeks. While 4 weeks already feels a bit long, I was patient and checked in about once a week for updates. When the 4-week mark passed without receiving anything, I was disappointed. I ended up receiving the proofs after 4 weeks and 3 days. I reviewed and returned my selections the same day, but her contract didn't specify a timeline for final edits, so I wasn't sure what to expect. The final images were delivered 15 days later. When I received them, it seemed like the only changes made were removing the watermarks. Some photos still had bags and other items in the background, even though she had mentioned those would be edited out. Communication was also inconsistent. There were times when my messages were read but not answered, and at one point--about two weeks after the shoot--she indicated she hadn't started editing yet. It left me feeling like my time and excitement weren't fully considered. By the time I received my maternity photos, my baby was already three weeks old, and I had already shared photos of her arrival, despite scheduling the shoot at 34 weeks as recommended. Would I recommend Melissa? Yes, but with some expectations in mind. Her pricing is fair, and you do receive a large number of photos. However, turnaround time may be slower than expected, and communication can feel a bit casual at times. (She did provide 5 additional images to make up for the delay in delivering the proofs.) I had originally intended to do a new born shoot with her as well but I was waiting for my maternity photos to make sure I really liked them and unfortunately by the time I received them my baby was outside the 7-14 day old window she wants for newborns. Between that and the turn around time I decided against it.

I didn't feel need to enhance any picture and we ended up getting the entire gallery. Thank you for such a special memory!

Any questions I had she was quick to respond. She handled our precious baby so well, swaddled her and put her to sleep faster than I can! The pictures were done in the comfort of our home and she brought everything! As a new time mommy having 1 less thing to prepare for is amazing!

He was responsive, easy/straightforward to work with, made us feel comfortable during the shoot and was very personable. I really appreciate his easy going personality and he made us feel comfortable during photos and gave us really good poses/pointers. I loved that he would show us little snippets during the shoot to show us how the photos were turning out as well. He was so kind, friendly, professional and all the great things you want in a photographer capturing your special moments. I believe he finalized edits and sends within 3-4 weeks and I can't wait to see. Bonus was that he sent over more than 10 sneak-peaks within 24 hours!!! This was so awesome and we were able to use right away to announce our marriage. All in all, so impressed with Justin. He's a gem and I'm looking forward to continue using him for our future shoots!!

My husband greatly appreciated Justin's recommendations for photo ideas. For our wedding, Justin and his second photographer were nothing short of amazing. Justin was able to use the venues spaces very creatively and effectively--I was very impressed with Justin's ability to stage us and our family and wedding party without having seen the venues before. The photos made me appreciate the venues in ways I had not thought of. Justin was able to turn around two photographers' and 10 hours worth of photos in 2 weeks. We were very impressed! Justin has a way of making people feel comfortable. That was true of my husband and me, as well as our wedding parties and families. The end result was amazing photos that we love, and our friends and family have told us look great. We are so happy we got to work with Justin and his team!

Lori has such a fun, friendly, and upbeat personality, which greeted us upon entrance to her adorable studio. She even had our newborn baby's name written on the sign outside to welcome us, which I regrettably forgot to take a picture of. :( We knew to plan for about a three hour session, as all of the information we needed to prepare was sent by Lori via email as well as conveniently available on her website. Lori was so patient and really took her time in order to get the best shots- immediately recommending that the baby be fed so she would be sleepy for photos. Watching Lori at work was inspiring- so meticulous in her posing of the family and baby, making sure that every last hair was in place and every little detail was captured. She was also great about ensuring adequate time for diaper changes and nursing, understanding that these elements are critical in the ability to capture a beautiful photograph. I'm beyond excited to see the final resulting images, and overall extremely happy with our decision to work with Lori in capturing such a precious time in our lives- the welcoming of our newborn daughter. It's no wonder that she was voted Pleasanton's Best Photographer for two years in a row! She is deserving of both awards and so much more! Thank you, Lori!

I appreciate her working with my husband who is camera shy and managing to document beautiful moments with our chaotic (but sweet) families. I know we made her nervous because we were pretty laid back and I am so appreciative she kindly made us take certain photos even though we said they were not important. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

I came across Kree's Yelp page because of how close she was, but what really stood out was her website--the caliber and vibrancy of her photos were incredible. I knew right away she'd be a perfect fit for capturing my niece, both in her cap and gown and in her super colorful prom dress (which I was confident Kree could do justice!). From the moment I reached out, Kree was super responsive and easy to communicate with. The contract was simple and straightforward, pricing was fair and the breakdown of her packages were awesome. and she helped us agree on a time and location that worked perfectly, not far from our house either, which was a huge plus. On the day of the shoot, Kree arrived right on time and immediately made my niece feel comfortable. Since it was my niece's first time being professionally photographed, I appreciated how Kree guided her with poses and gave her direction to bring out her best angles. She was friendly, patient, and made the whole experience fun. We received the edited photos about two weeks later, and they were amazing, better than I could have imagined. Kree truly captured my niece's personality and the significance of the moment. Highlights for me: super responsive communication, an easy-to-understand contract, a convenient location, her friendly demeanor, and of course, the beautiful final photos. Thanks so much Kree!!!

She gave such great, thoughtful instructions and made us feel so incredibly comfortable even though we had no idea what we were doing. She was able to capture us- truly us in a nutshell. (THANK YOU) She was insightful and considerate of limitations and used her talent beautifully! She made us feel like we knew her as an old friend instead of someone we just met. Her pictures are beautiful and I actually cried when they arrived because she gave a vision to the shoot that I didn't think possible. Her session gave my heart so much joy and gave us as a couple a little umph of love we didn't know we needed. She is a wonderful photographer and person! Highly highly recommend you go to her!
