Our photo session with Nguyet was wonderful!!! She was so helpful and captured our family vibes!!! Thank you for being you!!! So thankful to have met her at OCSA and she is a great person too!!! read more

We hired Nguyet to do both our birth photography (her coming to the hospital during my labor and delivery) and newborn photos (2 weeks after birth) and let me tell you she did an incredible job with both shoots. Let me first start with our birth photos. I am not the nicest person when I'm uncomfortable and I was worried that I would offend her or something awful would come out of my mouth during labor. She was so gosh darn nice about everything and so considerate, I honestly didn't realize she was there most of the time. She was really a stealthy shooter because some of the shots I had no idea when or how she took them. Nguyet always asked the nurses or doctors if it was okay to take photos before starting. I wound up having a c-section, but I was pretty much drugged up where I really forgot everything that happened. Then a few days or maybe a week later, nguyet sends us our pics, and I was floored. It was like I experienced all of the beautiful parts of labor and birth again but without all of the pain!! Her documentation was beautiful, as awful as I felt, and she really captured the hard, raw emotions going on in the birthing room. Also while going through the pictures, my husband was able to recall many of his emotions step by step, which was nice to hear and bond. On to our newborn photos, she documented them in our own home. She was delicate, and sure about handling our first born (being an awesome mom herself!). She even brought a cute outfit for him and had a few ideas that she wanted to capture!! They turned out beautiful again and I owe much to her patience and kindness during this whole process. read more

Nguyet is a talented photographer with great attention to detail. She is punctual, organized, and professional. Nguyet creates a comfortable environment whether you choose an outdoor setting, or elect to have a session in her studio. We were lucky enough to experience both settings and can easily recommend either one. Looking forward to working with Full Moon Photography again. FMP is great for all your portrait needs! read more

My wife and I originally had not planned on doing newborn photography photos, but it took the expertise of Nguyet to make us realize how much of a priceless investment it turned out to be. Nguyet was able to fit us into her schedule within a day's notice (most places require you book months in advance!!!). Nguyet was kind and patient with us and luckily our daughter was well behaved and asleep that day so the experience turned out to be one of the best moments of our lives. Nguyet captured some incredible shots of our little girl which we will cherish for the rest of our lives. On top of being a talented photographer/editor, her passion for customer service exceeds all else as she took the time to call us beforehand to discuss our needs/wants/expectations for a successful photoshoot, which my wife and I genuinely appreciated. She still continues to give us advice, tips, and suggestions on what works and what wouldn't work, which we really value. I highly recommend Nguyet Le Thomas of Full Moon Photography to anyone looking to invest in a quality newborn photoshoot. Her shots freeze a moment in time that you will never get back but will always cherish. Thank you so much Nguyet for all of your amazing work. Look forward to working with you again soon!!! Regards, Alyssa / Brian / Baby Zoe read more

Full Moon Photography - Nguyet was nice enough to take this shot special for us while my wife and I were changing wardrobe... Turned out to be our fav! - Session Photography Near Me

AMAZING!!! We are so grateful for the opportunity to work with Nguyet from Full Moon Photography. As a photographer and graphic designer myself, it can be challenging to find the right photographer. We wanted maternity photos for our 3rd pregnancy and after looking at her style, lighting & great artistic eye, we knew she would be a perfect fit. She was more than just professional. She was a natural at positioning and working with my young daughters in the beach setting. She has a way with people and especially babies. One week after our photo shoot, our baby arrived and Nguyet did another family shoot. She is truly a "baby whisperer." With her "shusher", she worked her magic with the baby boy and 2 daughters to capture priceless moments that we will always treasure. read more

Nguyet captured amazing photos of our little girl only 10 days old. Our child is a rainbow/miracle baby after cancer and it was so important for us to get the right photos and photographer. Nguyet was super patient with our baby girl even when an explosive blow out poop ruined one of her back drops. She was super gracious and continued her work letting me nurse in between to keep baby happy and sleepy. She has tons of adorable headpieces and backgrounds and is open to ideas. We got a flash drive with some amazing shots and couldn't of asked for better photos. It was an amazing experience and I highly recommend her to anyone having a baby!!! read more

Nguyet did a beautiful job taking our annual family photos. First of all, she was accommodating when we changed location last minute due to weather concerns.

We will definitely go to her again. read more

Let me start by saying that I would recommend Full Moon Photography in a heartbeat! Nguyet was able to squeeze me in on such a short notice and during the holiday season.

Full Moon Photography - Session Photography Near Me

I just had Nguyet cover my graduation party at my house last weekend. She is so talented and was such a pleasure to work with. She shot high quality shots, was very attentive to detail, organized, professional, and just so amazing! She is very passionate about what she does and her passion is what makes her such a great photographer. She was quick to understand what I wanted out of the event and worked closely with my mom and I to put together a photo album. I recommend her as an event photographer for any occasion! I can't wait to work with her again for future events! read more

If you want a family or newborn photographer who will go out of her way to take care of you, look no further than Nguyet and Full Moon. She's one of the best! read more

Emailed and no response. Called and no response either. Used someone else for maternity pictures. It's unfortunate being that you have great reviews. But when it says the response time is within 5 hours I did expect a response. read more

This was the first professional photography session for my family and I and we love our photos! Nguyet was so patient! My family members' schedules are so different and Nguyet was able to accommodate all of us to meet for our appointment date. During our session, Nguyet was so patient and attentive with our baby... I loved how she focused on every detail! The final product was amazing! Our photos are exactly what we were looking for and exceeded our expectations! Thank you so much for such an unforgettable experience! We will be able to cherish the moments with our baby forever! read more

We had a wonderful experience with Full Moon Photography & Nguyet. I had my baby a week early and she was extremely accommodating to fit us in early for our newborn photo shoot. We got some beautiful shots of our newborn and 2 year old. Not many people can get a 2 year old & newborn to cooperate but she certainly did!! We appreciate all of her hard work and beautiful pictures. We will cherish them forever. Thank you so much! read more

Full Moon Photography - Love this! - Session Photography Near Me

The I highly recommending using Nguyet and Full Moon Photography for your precious family photos. The wonderful and professional experience my family enjoyed with Nguyet is beyond words. She was warm and inviting and never once rushed our photo session. She is very creative and detailed in composing our photo session and photographs; which now hang proudly in my family home. During our entire process from booking the session to receiving our photos, she kept well informed, made suggestions on attire, and provided us itinerary of our desire poses, and she kept us on track. I will definitely be rebooking our future family and baby photos with Nguyet. read more

Nguyet was a dream to work with. With three reluctant tweens/teens, she had her work cut out for her. As soon as we started the session she had them all laughing, relaxed and in their element. The smiles, laughter and joy captured in the individual and family photos are priceless. When the session ended the tweens/teens looked at me and said, "It's over? Already? That was so fun." The portraits I have of Fall 2018 will be treasured forever. read more

I have a newborn baby and failed to make arrangements to have his first photos taken. Rookie mistake! I found Nguyet on yelp and she was able to accommodate us to document our little peanut at his tiniest. From beginning to end, Nguyet was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was a true professional and so patient with our little guy, who was not the most cooperative model. The pictures turned out beautifully. They literally make me cry, they are so perfect. Highly recommend Full Moon Photography! read more

Nguyet is an incredible professional who has photographed both of my children. She understands newborn, and toddler behavior very well so works with poses very well. She is also very kind, and accommodating. I would recommend, and will hire her again in a heartbeat. You should too! read more

Being on a budget, I had originally hesitated to hire a professional photographer but took the leap to book a session with Nguyet after falling in love with her work and artistic style at an expo. During the session, Nguyet was patient and gentle with my baby girl and even accommodated a couple of our special requests. The photos of my newborn are amazing, precious, and already raved among family and friends. It's obvious that Nguyet loves her craft and if my husband and I are crazy enough to have more children, we'll be looking to book another newborn session with Full Moon Photography. read more

I have been with Full Moon Photography for two years now. Nguyet has the magic touch in making beautiful photos. My daughter has not been an easy kid to photograph and yet Nguyet has been very patient and kind and gets the best out of her. She was able to take very beautiful pics of the whole family yet again this year. Her talent is one of a kind. We are looking forward to next year with her already. read more

Nguyet was so patient and kind with our 2 year old twins. Despite having a hard time getting them to sit still In front of the camera, she took so many beautiful shots, it was really hard to choose! She was equally patient and took amazing shots of our 5 month old as well. We would highly recommend her, and look forward to working with her again in the future. read more

She took our family photos right before we moved out of country. I was too busy packing up to even think about doing family photos, however, Nguyet, suggested me to schedule it at my Kid's birthday party and then she captured us in our natural play time with natural light in our regular hangout local park. This became our best family photo ever and it helped us mentally when we felt homesick. Now we moved back here and I look forward to the day that we can do photo shooting again with Nguyet at the same park! read more

We used Full Moon Photography for our family's first Christmas photoshoot this season. Nguyet provided everything that I was hoping for. She is an extremely organized and responsive person. She returned my phone call the same day and got me on her calendar in one of the last spots for Christmas. The photoshoot itself was similarly well-executed, with a thoughtful progression of different backdrops and family arrangements at the local park. She is quick-thinking and creative. She did not get ruffled at the shenanigans of my 5 year old and she made everyone feel comfortable. I love how she worked with the light of the late afternoon and captured different moods in the pictures. Thank you Nguyet! read more

Not only is Nguyet extremely professional and a wonderful photographer, but she also has such a way with children that she is able to capture the most adorable moments. Nguyet did a newborn photography session for us when our son was 8 days old. She brought a heater so that he would be warm and comfortable during the session, which I really appreciated. My older son, who is a toddler, was having a bit of a difficult time adjusting to all the attention baby brother was receiving. Nguyet made him feel special, like a "model", and was able to capture amazing photos even when he wasn't being very cooperative. During the session, we didn't feel rushed and felt like Nguyet was spending quality time with our family. The pictures turned out beautiful and we will cherish them and those early moments with our newest addition. I would highly recommend her! read more

When your child is born prematurely, a lot of the special moments planned with pregnancy and birth do not exactly happen like you thought they would. One of those moments I thought I had missed out on was newborn photos. At 14 weeks old (4 weeks adjusted), Nguyet was able to capture our sweet boy and all his tiny features. She was more than patient and knew exactly how to capture the perfect shot. Our little guy will never be this small again but we will always have these photos to look back upon and will always cherish this experience. read more

I reached out to Nguyet after seeing some of her work through friends on social media. I cannot thank her enough for her kindness, patience, and unbelievable talent. After over 40 years, my parents have the family portraits they wanted and a memory that will last a lifetime. Thank you!! read more

We haven't done professional photos for a long time because we felt we liked "casual photos" instead. But we had an opportunity to have our family photo shot by Nguyet from Full Moon Photography and we jumped on it. I really wanted a nice Family photo (for Christmas cards) and a nice family photo of us all to hang on our wall at home. My husband was a tad reluctant about having a professional photographer because he hated the dreaded "POSING". We had our photos planned for Irvine Regional Park and it turned out to be a super hot day...so I immediately called Nguyet and asked if we could just go to the beach instead. She was totally fine with the last minute change and met us at the beach within the hour. She greeted us with a warm and friendly smile. She explained a few things and quickly started taking photos. Within minutes we were having fun! The beach WAS the perfect place! We have always hated the fake "posing photos". You will not get that kind of photo with Nguyet. She takes "REAL" photos...of REAL PEOPLE...BEING REAL! When it came time to check out the photos that Nguyet had taken I was pleasantly surprised how COOL they were. We got the BEST Christmas family photo EVER! We LOVE it! We also picked a totally different photo for our wall at home...It is AWESOME! Nguyet definitely has an eye for photography! She captured some really loving (and FUN) moments of us with our 2 boys! She is professional, FUN and organized. She puts her time into the presentation of the finished product! I highly recommend Nguyet....and I have recommended Nguyet!! read more

I'm not big on having photos of myself taken but I didn't want to regret not having professionally documented my pregnancy and my newborn miracle baby. I'm so glad I took my friend's advice and consulted with Nguyet. She made me feel comfortable in front of the camera (talk about a major accomplishment) which definitely translated into pictures I was so pleased with. She was amazing with my newborn. I would've never guessed that someone could get that many poses from a baby! I was delighted with her work so I made sure to work with Nguyet for his milestone month pictures. I was a bit late on the 6 month photos so we turned it into adorable 9 month Valentine's pics that were sent out to appreciative loved ones. We just did his 1 year photos and incorporated family photos too. Needless to say, I love them. Nguyet really knows her stuff, she is so easy to work with, she knows how to relate to kids (of all ages) and get them comfortable with the camera. Also, her rates are very reasonable especially considering the high quality of work. read more

When I saw a post that Nguyet was doing front porch photo sessions, we jumped at the opportunity to have a fun family photo session--dog included! Before the session, she sent a text message asking if I had thought of a theme (of course, I hadn't!). She had a few great ideas and we rolled with it. Nguyet was so patient--with kiddos, dog and parents! And the photos are awesome. Thanks Nguyet and Full Moon Photography!! read more

Nguyet Thomas takes pride in her work. She's passionate about her field and makes her subjects feel at ease. She's a mom! She understands children, their moods, and what makes them tick.

Nguyet is a talented photographer who takes natural looking shots and puts you at ease immediately. My husband was not very excited about taking pictures because he hates posing so Nguyet made sure to take lovely candid shots. She made us feel relaxed and we absolutely loved the end result. read more

This was our family's first "professional" photography session, and Nguyet made the process so much fun and comfortable! Nguyet is very family oriented and worked with us (great collaboration!) from beginning to end with patience and professionalism. She explained in detail and gave us lots of options (and her opinions) on every thing from location, poses, what to wear, etc. We highly enjoyed the process and got some great pics (both formal and some really fun ones)! Would use Nguyet again and highly recommend! read more

This review is LONG overdue but Full Moon is nothing more than amazing. Nguyet was very patient with our family and made sure she took all the right shots prior to moving to another setup. From the initial contact to producing the images, it was nothing less than perfection. My family & I are very pleased with the pictures that were taken & we are glad Nguyet played a part in bringing many memories we can share with our son as he gets older. Her amazing talent allows her to display complete professionalism, true artistry & a sense of comfort many seek for. This referral has been one of the best referrals I have ever received therefore, please allow Full Moon to shoot your next photoshoot, you will not be disappointed! Thank you again Nguyet! read more

Nguyet is awesome! She did my newborn and maternity photoshoots and did an amazing job. Despite being a cranky, sleep deprived new mother she encouraged me to get the photos done asap and made it a fun, easy process. I didn't have to worry about bringing anything or dressing up the baby. She is very passionate and caring about her work and she does an amazing job. Will definitely use her again! read more

We had the privilege to work with Nguyet for over a year and she's never ceased to amaze us with her calm and nurturing manner, her skills and professionalism. We hired her when we were expecting our second son, and did 5 sessions with her, starting with a maternity photoshoot, newborn session, and then when he was 4 months, 8 months and 12 months old, to document his first year of life. And what an amazing experience! Nguyet is amazing, she makes you feel comfortable, she always has suggestions for props and places, and she's always punctual and on top of things. We are so happy about how all of the photos turned out and now we have amazing wall art and memory book to always remember our son's first year of life! Babies change so fast and I highly recommend doing a multi session photoshoot for your baby! Nguyet really is the best and we love her! Thanks Nguyet!! read more

The photos of our family were excellent! Nguyet was super-patient with my precocious daughter and we had a great time during the shoot. She knew how to find the best spots in the nature preserve where we were to make the colors really stand out. It was a great experience and we highly recommend her to all of our friends. read more

Nguyet took amazing shots of my daughter and I in Santa Monica. I had always wanted a photo shoot outdoors rather than our usual studio sittings, and it was so much fun. My daughter had a great time just being herself and running around, and Nguyet captured that light and joy. It was fun and professional, and I was extremely pleased with our photos! In fact, I ended up putting our photos on our holiday cards and received so many compliments on them. I'll definitely use her services again in the future! read more
