Eastbrook Photography - Amazing Family Photo Experience…read more We had such an amazing experience with Eastbrook Photography for our family photos! Although she normally specializes in baby photography, she welcomed our family in and made us feel comfortable from the very beginning. We chose an indoor studio session because of the heat, and her little studio oasis was perfect. She selected two beautiful backgrounds that matched our two outfits perfectly. Everything came together so well that even she was impressed! What stood out most was her attention to detail. She guided us through different poses, made sure our bodies were positioned correctly, and kept us laughing so the pictures felt natural instead of overly posed. She's friendly, outgoing, and you can genuinely tell she loves what she does. Our photos were ready within just a couple of days, and they came out fantastic! We felt relaxed throughout the entire experience and would absolutely use Eastbrook Photography again. Highly recommend if you want a photographer who makes you feel comfortable while still capturing those special family moments. Until next time... this has been "The Kendall Experience."

We're so happy with the results and will definitely be working with her again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and kind family photographer!

Truth be told....I write this with a bit of a tear in my eye....not to get too melodramatic over a…read moreyelp review....but pictures...when done perfect and if your in a particular sentimental mood....can have that effect. Some backstory...Imagix/Michelle has done our yearly photos for our son from ages 1 to now 5. (See my past reviews). From somehow capturing a perfect moment from our perpetually moving blur of a son (ages 1-3) to patiently instructing four 70/80 year olds on how to hold their aforementioned 4 year old Tasmanian Devil grandson last year, Michelle is a magician/artist...I always leave the photoshoot stressed from the chaos Hurricane Daniel (our son) leaves in his wake....But every year we come back to look at the proofs and are amazed at Michelle ability to capture "lighting in a bottle" . This year was no different. Fortunately we survived the terrible 2's (...3's....4's....) and thanks to time, maturity, and the opposite of gentle parenting, our little Daniel, though far from perfect, is manageable. But we didn't want to make it too easy for Michelle, so we threw in another variable. After a recent canine cancer scare, and recently learning from Google that all dogs, however loyal and cute, unfortunately have an inescapable life, span, I somehow convinced my beautiful but camera shy wife that this is the year we do a family photo with our dog. Some more backstory, if you read this far, our Yorkie, Libby, loves us but HATES the rest of the world. She spent the entire hour photoshoot in perpetual scowl and Volume 11 non stop bark. One week later as she always does, lighting in a bottle perfection. I looked at the proofs with amazement. Our son, we expected....she's done it every year, but how she made a loud perpetual yapping bark into a impossibly cute smile is above my skill set. But I think her greatest feat is how she lessened the "he must be rich" looks gap between my wife and I. My wife is easy, even me with my amateur Android skills, it's hard for her to take a bad picture. Michelle mastery came with how she elevated me to "he must be funny" looks gap level. So why the tear? We loved one of the pics so much we purchased a large framed canvas print to hang on our living room wall. My 85 year old happened to be in town for his grandsons 5th bday so I asked him for an helping hand hanging the picture. I figured he has these family portrait hanging at my childhood home. My brother and I with our full head of hair and my mom shoulder pads captured the 90's to a tee...but what I always remember is the "proud" look my dad had on his face. A look of accomplishment shouting "look at me world and all that I love and created". Watching my aging dad struggle, listing to my aging dog bark in a locked room to protect my dad's ankles, I was suddenly reminded that time, as much as you want to hit pause, always moves forward. It's a good idea to stop and smell the roses, or in this case, look at the snapshot/memories/moments and take it all in. After my dad handed me the leveler and I put away the hammer, and I looked up....and yeah....I had that "Dad" look

We've done practically every family photo here, along with so many of the themed holiday sessions -- Valentine's Day, Easter, Christmas, and more. They always do such a beautiful job with the sets and photos, but what really keeps us coming back is the experience they create for our kids and our family. We have so many memories documented here that I know we'll treasure forever. And our annual holiday photos with Santa have become especially special to us. My girls are completely convinced that he is the real Santa and that any other Santas they see are just his friends helping him out because, obviously, the real Santa is very busy taking pictures with them That alone tells you how magical they make the experience for the kids. We're so grateful to have found a studio we trust to capture our family as our kids grow. So many milestones, holidays, and little seasons of life are hanging on our walls because of them. We'll absolutely continue coming back!

We recently had our generational family portraits taken at the studio, and Michael was wonderful!…read moreWith about 16 of us, things were definitely lively -- lots of people, plenty of noise, and many different photo combinations to coordinate. Michael handled our fun, chaotic bunch with so much professionalism, patience, and kindness. He was incredibly accommodating and helped guide us through all the different groupings needed to make the photoshoot a success. The pictures turned out beautifully, and we couldn't have asked for a better place -- or a better person -- to help us capture such a special family moment.

Wow, Eve is the total package! Her photographs are beautiful, she is well organized, and so so good…read moreat working with different personalities (and difficult family members!). As an LGBTQ+ wedding, she made us feel totally at ease, included, and best of all - special! We booked Eve for our June 2024 wedding after meeting her at a friends' wedding and from the jump we connected with each other and I knew she was going to be perfect for our wedding. Eve is a great communicator and was fun to work with. We organized an incredible engagement shoot and it was delightful to see Eve's creativity at work. The shots turned out amazingly too, and we received rave reviews from family and friends! For the wedding itself, Eve sent an easy worksheet for us to complete of all family / friend photos, along with some helpful tips for how to stay hydrated and prepared the day-of. At the wedding, Eve made us feel at easy and never asked for too much. We also had plenty of time to actually enjoy the evening! And to top if off, the photographs perfectly capture the energy and mood of the event! Thank you Eve!

It was important to us to find a quality photographer with an eye for some of the artsy/moody photos we were hoping for. Enter Eve who really did come and save the day. From the moment we met, she was so kind and showed a true interest in getting to know us as a couple. She was an absolute rock star during our wedding. We had a larger wedding (150 ppl) and she handled it with grace; always staying patient but giving direction confidently when need be. One of our favorite things Eve did was our private vows. We were considering scrapping it as it might be too complicated logistically, but Eve knew how important that time would later be and moved quick to find a quiet spot to make it happen. That really set the tone for my now wife and I, and was one of our most cherished moments on our wedding day. And the photos! We just received our full gallery and they're so beautiful! We feel so lucky to have worked with Eve. I would absolutely recommend her and hope to work with her again some day. Thank you Eve!

I think it was a facebook mom group post that I saw, where A&C was looking for little girl models…read more I decided, why not, I have a little girl (she's definitely not model material, she is 3 and in a complete awkward smile phase). Most communication for the photoshoot was arranged all online through e-mail. And for a busy working mom, that works great for me. All communication was very professional and availability dates were all set in advanced. So we showed up with a white dress on (which was what was advised to wear) and literally it only took about 15 minutes. Claudia was so great with my little one. She made her laugh and captured some genuine smiles from her. I was so impressed with her ability to get those smiles, because when I ask my little one to smile, it's more a serial killer looking to the side smile. I would definitely recommend A&C photography for family or kid photos. I noticed their Instagram that they do lots of shoots from Disneyland, and being that we are a big Disney family, I might just have to do a photoshoot there one day. Oh, and prices are completely reasonable!

From finding a shooting location to hair/makeup, all I had to do was show up! I felt like a model!

I'm so glad I did this shoot with Kristina it was worth every penny!

Kristina comprehends what goes through the psyche of a typical woman prior to a boudoir shooting…read more She has devised an effective way to prime you the week before the shooting all the way to the day of! Firstly, through all of her communications (text l, emails, phone calls), she walks you through what happens during the entire process. I appreciated this so I knew what to anticipate in advance. She makes you feel comfortable sharing any of your concerns and asking her any questions, she takes her time and cares. She really makes it easier providing advice on your selection of clothing, what looks good on you and on the camera and what may not, so you have and idea what to shop for. It is apparent that she's been doing this for a long time, you get to the location, everything is ready to go and she makes you feel right at home. Kristina greeted me with a welcome gift with well thought out goodies. Her hairdresser/makeup artist, Jenn, was the best! Kristina informed Jenn of my idea for hair and makeup, so Jenn already had an idea on what to do for me and just asked me a few questions. The outcome whoa, Jenn was so spot on with the look I was trying to capture, I loved it! Kristina and Kelly, Assistant, styled my 4 outfits and shoes, determining what would look optimal for me. Kristina even had delicious refreshments to keep us fed during the 4 hours. Boy did that 4 hours go by fast! The Joshua Tree location was spectacular with a beautiful pool and the beautiful desert landscaping in the backyard, most importantly it was private. The best part was taking the pictures. Kristina is fun, funny, walks you through what to do, plays music and has a proactive way to make you feel comfortable, that you even get goofy. From her Gallery in her website, she has taken so many awesome shots, which is why I decided to go with her. Besides, she makes you feel like a badass during the shoot. I can't wait to see my pictures! Thank you Kristina for the positive energy, the great experience and hospitality!

I'm so grateful to have found Amor Y Luna. This was our first family session and I was so nervous…read moreto book it because I'm shy in front of a camera and don't always love the pictures I take myself but it was important to me that these precious moments with my 2 little ones don't pass me by. So it was a big decision to make and it's a service I could hardly afford anyway. Not to mention the fact that as a mother of 2, it's nearly impossible to make plans. My kids are unpredictable and sometimes it feels impossible to get them out the door on time, especially in the same outfit they started in. Between nap times, feeding times, car tantrums, it can be so overwhelming. They're shy around new people too so I didn't know how to plan for that really and not every professional understands that. That was just the start of my hesitations. I started my search on google and found the same long beach photographers on repeat. I looked on yelp as well and got some folks recommended but they weren't close. I ended up getting a referal from a fellow mom on a facebook group and she had great things to say about their price ans quality. I reached out to Celia (and some other photographers) but Celia was the only one that called me, got to know my situation especially as a first timer, and talked me out of doing a mini session and doing a 30 min session. She suggested locations and even getting my little ones comfortable with bubbles so that could cheer them up during the shoot. She's a mother, knows how kids are and has experience photographing them. She was adamant about them having a good time and not ruining the photography experience for them which I never thought of. She and her husband showed up ready (to a new location at that), flexible, and executed better than I could have ever imagined. I got the photos back quick and the work speaks for itself. If this is your first time and ur a mom, book them! They are excellent with families, know the area, and don't charge an arm and a leg just because they can. THANK YOU Amor Y Luna. Support this husband and wife team and support BIPOC professionals.... Or just book because they'rethe best photo team out there!

From the moment the session starts, she guides you through every pose and gives clear direction, so you never have to worry about what to do. Her warm, friendly personality makes it feel like you're spending time with a longtime friend rather than being in front of a camera. What stood out most was how engaged and supportive she was throughout the entire shoot.
