A photo session with Audrey is as wonderful as it gets! I met Audrey Christmas before last when…read moreshe generously volunteered her time photographing pets with Santa for our mutual vet, The Drake Center. All proceeds went directly to one of our local shelters that does amazing work helping pets find homes. She held a drawing for families who brought their pets in for a full photo session and our family was one of the lucky winners. We had our full family (two leggeds and four leggeds) photographed with her a few months later and it was truly an amazing experience. Audrey's professionalism and talent are beyond compare, but what really made her stand out in my mind was her ability to "read" our family and capture us just as we are. An example of this is our youngest daughter, who can tend to be a stinker when she's nervous or out of her element. Audrey was completely patient with her and waited until she was able to relax enough to be photographed. We weren't rushed in any way - she took her time and got some amazing shots of our girls, our pets and our whole family. I have come to love Audrey, not only for her professional talent, but for her personality and spirit. She is wonderful to work with but even better to know.

I had won a raffle for a free pet photo shoot with her, and she was very knowledgeable about where and what time for optimal pictures. My dog has some serious ADD so I was worried she wouldn't be able to get his attention, but not only was she patient with him, but I LOVED the pictures. I was in grad school at the time, so money was tight, but she assured me the pics would be available any time :) Audrey really knows how to capture your pet's personality and perks! You will not be disappointed!

I stumbled upon Tristan Quigley when I was researching another photographer who came recommended to…read moreme and I am so glad I did! I was in charge of organizing a multigenerational family session with some hard people to please. I was drawn to her pictures, the lighting and the way she captured families. Everyone in our group agreed that Tristan was amazing. Tristan went above and beyond with her communication through the entire planning process, offering to accommodate the unfortunate weather circumstances during Christmas weekend. She showed up with a very warm demeanor and was professional and kind throughout the entire ordeal. She was even able to cheer up the kids who became fussy during the session. Not only was the actual photo session fun and organized, the final product exceeded our expectations. I cannot say enough good things about Tristan, I highly recommend her and look forward to using her in the future.

Tristan was the best choice we could have made for our first child's newborn photos…read more He came early so we had a small window of opportunity, but she fit us in and left no professional detail behind. The end product turned out amazing and our experience was beyond great. She does in-home shoots which made us feel more comfortable with a young little one, and allowed us to use his nursery and our dog in the shots! Her quality was amazing and her talent and patience were key to the process. We can't wait to use her again!

I searched for a San Diego photographer for an in-studio mother-daughter session. My vision for the…read moreshoot was "boss lady/girl power/women empowerment" vibes. Tiffany Allen Photography was the perfect match to bring this vision to life. Tiffany responded promptly and scheduled a consultation right away. She encouraged me to create a vision board and send her any images that inspired my vision. I met with her a week prior to the photoshoot at her studio, and I was absolutely blown away. The aesthetic was beautiful and exactly what I was looking for. Tiffany is an absolute gem. During the session, she made me feel comfortable and confident. I was able to relax, listen to her direction, not overthink each pose, and have fun! I was mostly impressed by how well she worked with my three-year-old daughter. She was so welcoming and patient, which allowed my toddler to warm up to her right away, making the experience enjoyable for the both of us. I could not be happier with the images. They are absolutely STUNNING! Tiffany did an amazing job capturing my vision. The photos are so much more than just a pretty picture. Rather than overly posed or a ton of props, her style is simple and raw, which really made the difference in truly displaying the relationship with my daughter and the love we share. I will cherish these photos forever. I cannot say enough good things about this photographer - her personality and professionalism, the overall experience, and the final product - she is the best! I will most definitely continue to work with Tiffany Allen Photography in the future and recommend her to anyone!!!

The first thing I noticed about Tiffany was her speed of response and how accurate she was in describing what she did, how long it took, where to do it and what it cost. Then came the emails and the texts with examples and a to-do list. I was to send her pictures of myself in outfits - and she commented on each one with her professional eye and we chose three. She was also incredibly flexible on where to shoot. On the day of the shoot, I was incredibly surprised at her eye to detail, willingness to take a million shots, constant change in her own positions and the ease with which she made me feel at home. It did not end there. A week later, I had a zoom apt with her that blew me away. I wanted to buy all of them but decided on five. Just excellent work! Tiffany is amazing - I am hoping soon I can get my entire team's shots with her. Thank you Tiffany!

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!

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.

I was nervous about choosing a newborn photographer that I would be happy with, especially because it was my first baby. Jen exceeded my expectations above and beyond! We are so thankful that we found her on Yelp with a simple internet search. She was so kind and gentle while placing our baby in each unique pose. She makes the whole experience very fun and relaxing while you get to sit back and watch the whole photoshoot. She has many cute props and blankets that you can help her choose to use in the pictures of your little one. Jen is also very professional and upfront with all of her pricing. Her website and different packages are easy to understand unlike many of the other photographers websites I looked at while researching. She works quickly and gets the digital images sent to you as fast as she can. The pictures she took of our daughter are a timeless keepsake that we will cherish forever!

Holly and Bruce did my engagement and wedding photos. They were so fun to work with…read more My fiancé and I got a referral for them through our wedding planner. Our main concern was we needed a photography team that was just as excited about our same-sex wedding as we were. After visiting with 3 potential photography companies we knew Holly Ireland was the most fun and of course had the best style to their photography. During our engagement session I think we worked them for the entire time we were entitled to. Three different locations all over San Diego County. Never once did they complain. Finally, for our wedding, they worked their butt off and produced photos that were beautiful and Instagram worthy. Being "customers for life" Holly shot our Christmas photos as well. She was great with kids. I can't wait to work with them again.

We were initially planning a March 2018 wedding, before finally settling on September 2018. Holly was great and very flexible with us changing dates around. I met Holly and her husband Bruce before hiring them - they left a great first impression, they are full of energy, professional & great people. Holly photographed our engagement photos in an unconventional way. My now husband was coming home from a 6 month deployment on a submarine & I wanted to have a photographer there and have those as our engagement pictures since we had gotten engaged right before he left on deployment. He came home from his last deployment in May 2017. Holly was very accommodating with our situation and not knowing a lot of details ahead of time due to operational security. The photos turned out beautiful, and we even got shots with my husbands family that was visiting from out of town. Holly made everyone feel comfortable and got through the pictures in a timely manner! Fast forward to our September 2018 wedding, I had sent Holly inspirational pictures that I wanted re-created on our wedding day & she made sure that we got them all! Holly and I had a phone call about a week before the wedding to discuss family shots and not to miss pictures, she provided lots of great suggestions along with taking my ideas into account as well. Holly was prompt on our wedding day meeting the ladies at the hotel and got to shooting straight away. I knew that Holly would blend in just fine with the moms and girls, she's professional yet personable. Bruce usually shoots with Holly on wedding days but he had a family accident and was unable to attend. Holly provided a wonderful substitute photographer - Derek of Derek Chad Photography. He was a wonderful addition and blended right in. You could tell that they had a great connection as photographers and worked well together! Holly and Derek were both extremely accommodating on our wedding day - they were available to us when there were group shots we wanted to get, yet they made sure not to miss all the details. The turnaround time for our pictures was phenomenal, I was in awe of how fast Holly returned the photos to us, she had the photos to us NINE DAYS after the wedding! I've heard of some people having to wait months, I'm very impressed with the turnaround time and the quality of Holly's photography! Holly was familiar with our venue and our getting ready location, the Coronado Community Center and the Glorietta Bay Inn. We were running a bit behind on the wedding day - Holly ensured that we were still able to get in all of the pictures and navigated Coronado like a pro! We are so pleased with the final product & the delivery of the product! I can't wait to display the photography around our future house and share with our families for the holidays. I hope to work with Holly in the future for all of our photography needs! Holly is professional, attentive to detail, and always energetic - you can't go wrong with booking Holly for any photography needs!

Melanie was so encouraging and made sure to make each person feel included. Melanie chose a unique location and offered great recommendations on colors, outfits, and accessories. Then she set the timeline to allow for several options of groupings and individual shots for our kids. Melanie brought an assistant with her which seemed to make the difference with lighting and flashes. The super fun part was getting to see a couple tiny previews in her camera display of the progress. We could tell how excited Melanie was, which made us even more excited. A few short days later and we were back in the studio reviewing the gorgeous images. Melanie did such an amazing job it made it hard to choose!
