Wonderful experience, and my favorite headshot session I've done. No exaggeration. If you come in…read morewith an open energy and wardrobe you feel confident in, you'll get great results. In the past, I've left other photographers' headshot sessions drained and stiff. Cathryn has a gift for making you feel at ease and communicates that she's there to express your essence. She offers simple, helpful direction throughout to help you channel certain expressions through your eyes. About two hours of shooting went by in a breeze, and I left feeling energized! Would definitely recommend her to any of my actor or model friends.

All you need to know is that Jenna is amazing!…read more I was actually getting ready to move forward with another wedding photographer until I stumbled upon Jenna's website and spoke to her on the phone. After my call with her, I knew she was it!! Jenna is personable, easy to work with, genuine, and for a lack of better words, chill. Her eye for lighting and photography skills are AMAZING! We had a great time shooting with Jenna both during our engagement session and our wedding day. Jenna made us feel comfortable and in our element and kept any awkwardness we exhibited to a minimum. She was able to capture beautiful, natural, candid moments, and not just of us, but our wedding guests too! She even got my (now) husband to smile (a lot) naturally for the camera! She also somehow minimized the "ugly" in our ugly cry moments during our first look and ceremony. And although she had never shot at our wedding venue before, she was familiar with the area and had a great location up the street for our bride and groom photos. Jenna was flexible with our wedding day schedule, but also kept us on track. All of our photos came out STUNNING!!! We plan on having her photograph future family photos!!

My (now) husband and I aren't super comfortable in front of the camera, and she made it super easy for us both on our wedding day. We wanted to minimize posed pictures (we hardly did any) and she was able to create an incredible photo story of our day. She is skilled, confident, and a pleasure to work with. The pictures are stunning -- they really capture the feel of the night -- and I cannot thank her enough.

Rachel worked with me to get an amazing head shot in a rush. I needed one in a jiffy and upon…read moretalking to her on the phone, the next day I had an appointment. She shot it, helped me (upon me asking for her advice) select the best one, and retouched it in about 2 hours total. I can not stress enough how important it is to feel comfortable with the photographer who is shooting your headshot and she has an amazing way of doing just that. It came out natural and beautiful and I am very happy with it. I havn't had a photoshoot in over a year, so I was very nervous about everything being just right, and she eased my nerves during and before the shoot to get that perfect shot. I am very pleased and have gotten non stop compliments on my headshot! Thanks Rachel!

I had a great experience shooting with her and had so many shots to choose from! She made me feel comfortable immediately. Rachel has a good eye for what the camera likes, is charming and easy going, but most importantly she took great photos. I appreciated her direction and thoughtfulness. She helped me determine what I wanted my pictures to be used for and gave me a great deal of insight on how the image would show best for what I wanted. I was shocked that I looked so good I was very pleased by the results. I'd definitely recommend Rachel to anyone in my spheres for their personal or business functions. She's professional, dependable and easy to work with.

My daughter recently did a group graduation photoshoot with her friends, and we had the pleasure of…read moreworking with Lisa. We booked months in advance, knowing this was something special we wanted to do. One of the moms, who's a returning client of Lisa's, coordinated the date, and Lisa managed all the individual contracts, waivers, and payments via Venmo seamlessly. She kept communication clear and organized through a group text with all the moms, which was incredibly helpful. Lisa was professional, patient, and never made the girls feel rushed. She's familiar with our school's location and offered thoughtful suggestions for the best lighting and backgrounds, which made a noticeable difference in the quality of the shots. To make the shoot even more special, I'd suggest bringing a few personal props, like a graduation cap and gown, a framed baby photo, roses, or leis. These don't need to be in every shot, 1-2 could add a meaningful and fun touch for a fews shots. Our group opted for a second outfit change into their college t-shirts, which added a personal and celebratory feel as they look ahead to their next chapter. Choosing photos was actually difficult, in the best way, because there were so many beautiful options. Each girl ended up with at least 2-3 individual portraits and 2-3 group shots they absolutely loved, but honestly, there were many more to choose from. Doing the shoot with friends made the experience feel more relaxed and fun. The girls were cheering each other on, helping fix hair and outfits, and just enjoying the moment together. It took the pressure off and created a supportive, joyful vibe. I highly recommend doing a graduation photoshoot with friends, and Lisa made it a truly equitable, enjoyable experience where everyone walked away with photos they're happy with.

She traveled to two locations for us, the SJ Rosegarden and Fuze Lounge - after flying up to Norcal from her Socal location. We had a great sunset shoot in the garden after the ceremony, she knew all the places to get the shot and she made us laugh so much after such a serious and emotional moment. She was on her feet all night, catching all the moments and her preview of untouched portraits are so good we are salivating with the anticipation of her final shots! Angela was even kind enough to arrive at the bar with us when we forgot to book a ride between both locations, and we didn't have our phones! We encouraged her to also enjoy the party, but rarely stopped shooting and we feel extra special after her above and beyond effort on this day. We plan to use her for any further shoots, she will forever be our capturer of life moments! #weddingphotographer #SJWedding #sjdowntown #epiccandids #angeladorkus #fernandezeffect #timeless #photography #photographylife #sjrosegardenwedding #love #lgbtqiawedding #lesbianwedding #womanowned #womanownedbusiness
