    Our daughters cake smash with Itsy photography
    Ember F.

    Ella took my daughters Newborn and Cake Smash images. Both sessions were so fun to watch. You can really see just how passionate she is about her job. After both sessions we received beautiful timeless images that we will cherish forever. I also recently had a newborn photography mentoring session with Ella. It was a total game changer! I feel like there is a world of a difference in my confidence when working with newborns. Ella is a true professional and a master at her craft. She shows you all of her tips and tricks to keep baby safe, happy and comfortable. Learning from her was an absolute treat. I would 100% recommend if you are looking to learn more about Newborn/ Cake smash photography to invest in a mentoring session with her.

    Indoor Newborn Session

    Ela is absolutely amazing!!! I have done two photo sessions with her, and both were better than I could have ever hoped for from start to finish. I am a type-A perfectionist, and I had very specific ideas about what I wanted out of both sessions. Ela went above and beyond (including reading all my very long and very detailed emails) to make sure that she had everything ready for both session to get the photos I wanted. The first session was an outdoor Cake Smash session for my oldest daughter's first birthday. Ela brought a bunch of adorable vintage looking props and set up the perfect scene for the cake smash. She had an almost unbelievable ability at getting my one-year old to cooperate for the whole session. The second session was an indoor newborn session after my second daughter was born. Ela set up a bunch of different backdrops for us in the studio she has in our house. We got an impressive array of shots during the few hours that we were there. (So many so that when I saw the pictures, I didn't even remember her taking some of the photos.) Ela is an absolute baby/toddler whisperer. (Her background as a nurse really helps!) She was able to lull my newborn back to sleep at the same time as she was making the photo session entertaining enough for my restless 2-year-old to participate willingly (even though it was way past lunch and nap time). So we were able to get a lot of wonderful shots of the whole family together. During the editing phase, Ela really listened to exactly what I wanted and even graciously went through two rounds of edits (delivered via my way too long emails) to the video she created for us until it was exactly as I wanted it. I cannot recommend her highly enough. The photos and videos for both sessions turned out perfectly! You will definitely not regret booking a session with Ela.

    I reserved an Itsy session with Ela when I was about 37 or 38 weeks pregnant. Well, I went overdue and was finally induced at 41 weeks and it was a rough labor... 3 days later, my little baby Ben was finally born - whew! We had to stay in the hospital an additional week. With all the chaos going on, I forgot to call Ela to schedule the baby's Itsy session. Luckily, Ela squeezed us in on Ben's 2 week birthday - 7 months pregnant herself (and totally gorgeous to boot!). The session went great. Baby slept through the whole thing, Ela was fantastic with him and she got so many great shots! I was pretty much in awe of how impressive and professional she was with us. I'm only sad that I'll have to wait till her maternity leave is over to book her again! Congrats on the upcoming little one Ela!

    Our experience with Ela could not have been any more positive! My wife and I went through half a dozen of portfolios and yelp reviews of various newborn photographers prior to booking Itsy Photography. We are so glad and feel blessed to have worked with Ela. Being first time moms and our baby girl's early arrival, we felt so overwhelmed and stretched thin, yet Ela made everything so easy!! The pictures and video captured will forever be in our home and we look forward to working with Ela for future engagements!

    I am in love with Ela and Itsy Photography!! She got me in last minute before her major move and made my daughters smash cake session amazing. She is a true professional and artist. All my images turned out amazing... I ended up buying extras cuz it was soo hard to choose. And I was able to buy the unedited versions as well for a very reasonable price. I would recommend her to anyone wanting to capture their precious memories. I hope to work with her again when she comes back to San Jose. A million and one thank you's Itsy photography and Ela... You are beyond amazing!

    We had our newborn session with Gretchen today and I was completely blown away. Honestly, if I…read morecould give 6 stars, I would. She totally lived up to her Instagram standards (which are pretty awesome-go see for yourself). Gretchen was a total professional. She did a million things that just exceeded our expectations for a newborn shoot so here are just a few: -She gave pre-shoot instructions on what to do and what not to do before our shoot (when to feed him, what to bring, etc) including driving instructions. -She has a studio that is full of everything we could ever need such as outfits, swaddles, blankets, backdrops, props, and more. -She washes everything used during each shoot. -She uses things like baby pads, gloves, and more in order to make the process sanitary as well as comfortable for baby. -She gave us plenty of options for things to use during the shoot as well as making helpful suggestions. For example, she has hundreds of swaddles and blankets of all textures and colors to choose from so my husband and I were having trouble choosing. She said "Well, let's start with this... what color are your shirts you will be wearing? Okay great, then let's stick with earthy tones. Here are some tones that would go well. And if that's the palette we're going with, I would suggest this backdrop." These things were not only helpful for my husband and I, but they ended up looking GREAT! She really is skilled at her craft. -She is both professional and personable. Meaning, she is going to go through the poses in an expedient yet gentle way, but will also oblige you in some silly stories or witty banter throughout the process. It really was enjoyable for everyone involved. -During the mom&baby photos, I asked her if I could peek at them to make sure there was something I liked. She did a great job but I wanted to get an additional angle so I asked if that was possible. Not only did she oblige, but she didn't make me feel bad about it or like I was imposing. It was so nice! -She is very seasoned in this profession (she's been at it for over a dozen years) so she knows the poses, what works, what doesn't, when to push baby and when to move on to the next thing, etc. -Not only is she a great photographer, but she's also just good with babies in general. Meaning, she was the one doing all of the outfit changes, swaddling, and more. She was experienced in the sense that she could sense the difference between a cranky baby and an incoming fart or poop. This is obviously helpful in a session like this. She was able to rock him, soothe him, move his body in a way that he liked, and was careful about removing her hands slowly in a way that wouldn't startle him, etc. She just SPEAKS baby, if that makes sense. Overall, we are super happy with the shoot and although we haven't received the photos yet, we know they're going to be great because, well, we saw them taken. Everything was adorable, classy, and clean. It was just perfect. Thank you, Gretchen, so making this potentially stressful process anything BUT that!!! We will definitely be coming back with baby #2! -Natalia, Tim, and Enzo

    We are so happy with our newborn photos! We were recommend…read moreby a friend who also had her newborn photos done with her and we are so glad she recommended us! She is very professional and easy to work with. She had tons of props, outfits, hats, and amazing backdrops. Her photography room is heated and has sound machines playing to keep your baby calm and sleepy. She is also very reasonably priced. Make sure to reserve way in advance. Her schedule can get very busy!
