As a wedding coordinator, I'm always a little skeptical when working with new vendors because you never know what to expect in terms of professionalism, communication, and work ethic. Brandon exceeded every expectation. He was incredibly easy to work with, provided great direction during photos, and helped create a fun, relaxed atmosphere throughout the day. His sense of humor and lighthearted personality made the experience enjoyable for both the couple and the vendor team. From what I've seen on social media, his work is absolutely stunning, and I can't wait to see the full gallery from our event. I would confidently recommend Brandon to my clients and look forward to the opportunity to work with him again in the future.

I had a shoot recently. I received very clear instructions on how to prep for the shoot and what I…read moreneeded to do the day of shoot and what to expect. Cinnamon did my photos and it's OBVIOUS she has decades of experience. Her personality was so vibrant but calming. The first questions she asked were about my comfort level, what I was ok with showing and not ok with showing. Asked a lot of questions about what my goal for the shoot would be. It made me feel very safe and comfortable. She had me get in my first outfit and pointed out things I never would have thought of like deodorant on my underarms. She gave clear direction on posing and made the whole process so much fun. I forgot I was there for a photoshoot. It seemed effortless for her. She took time after my shoot to answer any questions I had about the next steps in the process. After the shoot I got the edited photos 3 days later which is a crazy turn around time. The album came with very clear instructions on how to view and select photos or packages for purchase. I was also given multiple reminders to make my selections before the cut off time which my ADHD brain really appreciated. I would (and have) recommend them to anyone looking for this type of shoot and will probably book in the future.

I checked if they were touring again and when I saw a session two days before my birthday, I took it as a sign from the universe that I needed to book another one. Be rude not to! Plus, I've been working hard on my self image and confidence. I'm not lying when I say they helped me be able to say I'm beautiful out loud and believe it. Stacey was amazing the first time, and I looked forward to see if I worked with her again or if it would be one of the other two amazing ladies at Bad Kitty. This time in September 2025, I had the pleasure of working with the wonderful Madison! The bar was set pretty high by Stacey as she was phenomenal with my sensory issues for makeup/hair and talked me through the poses to make me feel comfortable. Madison hit this out of the park! Heck, I'm not just beautiful, I am SEXY is this recent shoot! Wowza madam, you captured some truly stunning photos! I am still blown away by some of them. Would I book again? Heck yeah!!! I can't recommend them enough if you are looking for a boudoir photographer.

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! You won't be disappointed! Loop

We were so pleasantly surprised when we saw the photos, ha! Jessica was fantastic to work with from the very beginning, offering lots of help with wardrobe choices, location choices, etc. We couldn't be happier with the outcome of our photoshoot and can't wait to hire Jessica again for more photos :) Thank you, Jessica!!!!

Kelsey is a phenomenal person and photographer!!! I am so glad I went with her for our maternity…read morephotoshoot after being highly recommended by my sister who couldnt stop saying enough great things about her. Photography skills - I absolutely love her natural style that uses the beautiful San Diego light to bring out the gorgeousness of everyone (and every pet :)) in the picture. She made us feel so comfortable during the shoot and was so flexible with us - including our dog who we wanted in some of the pictues. Kelsey also wants to tell a story with her photos and encourages having a series of photos to do so. This was such a relief when other photographers had quoted me the same/more and I would only select a handful of photos. Professionalism/personableness - Working with Kelsey also means gaining a friend. She helped me pick out outfits and was always encouraging while being honest (busy outfits or prints may not work so well in these photos!). She also wanted to sincerely know how my pregnancy was going and was a friend throughout the entire process. I would HIGHLY recommend working with Kelsey for all your photography needs. I am likely going to work with her again for a session with our kiddo :)

We planned a trip to San Diego for an anniversary and family vacation hybrid trip and I wanted to surprise my wife with a professional family photoshoot since I knew she had always wanted one. So I came on yelp to try and find someone who i thought would do a decent job of taking our family photo. And after some scrolling, which is a shame since I felt like she should be at the top, I saw some photos that caught my eye that I thought fit our style and what we liked and that's how i found kelsey! She was great at communicating with us the whole time. From helping give us ideas of what to wear, Giving us information about the locations she likes to shoot at and why she likes it, and answering pretty much every question we had in a very timely manner. Which was very crucial especially since this was booked kind of last minute lol. But she made everything so smooth it was like we had it planned for months. Once we got to location she made everyone feel super comfortable and gave great directions and never made anything feel forced. Also, we got there a little later than planned because there was some traffic so we were about 20 min or so late. But we never felt like we were being rushed to take pictures to try and make up for the time lost and we felt like we still got a lot done. As for the photos themselves, I'm not a very photogenic guy, I can look pretty ehhh in pics. but the magic she was able to do to make me look good should say something about her skills. But me aside, she made my wife and kids look beautiful and the overall photos were amazing. Originally we were only going to pick the middle package, which allowed for a certain amount of pics to be downloaded, but we couldnt make up our mind and pick just that amount, so we HAD to upgrade so we could get everything. It was THAT hard to choose bc everything was so good. This ended up being a way longer review than planned but I had to let the world know how great she is. She even surprised us with a surprise gift that literally lifted our spirits on a day we were feeling kinda crabby. I wish her nothing but good vibes and continued success and I wish everyone does themselves a favor and gets a session with her if ever in the San Diego area and looking for a photographer, cuz shes pretty good. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

She is also unbelievably easy to work with, both in setting up the shoot, the day of, and when she delivered the images.

Only the *tiniest* bit bummed, we decided to still get married and scheduled our civil ceremony. But now, I want a photographer to document this event... I think I found Emily on Instagram, after looking around at different photographers' work. I remember really liking Emily's style, how natural everyone looked, and how well Emily captured the moments. I think those were/are the most important things for me for choosing a photog, and it helped that Emily has (solid) reviews for me to go through as well. Emily was prompt in responding via email, and offered to chat on the phone to discuss the details and what I wanted. After talking for a bit, I sent over a deposit and we were set! Or not... because a week or two before our shoot, I looked at my civil ceremony appointment time and it was actually for 8am, NOT 8:30am. Yikes! I text Emily, nervous that she wouldn't be able to make the earlier time, and I would need to scramble for another photographer, but thankfully, Emily is flexible and okay with the earlier time. Phew! I also wasn't quite sure *what* I wanted from the photos (POSES? props!? specific backgrounds?!) but found some pictures I liked and sent them to Emily a day or two before our appointment, so she had an idea what I was going for. I appreciate Emily's responsiveness! The actual civil ceremony felt a little hectic; we did not know what it would entail -- paperwork, of course, and then waiting because there were other couples that were getting married that day. Thankfully, Emily was very patient. Emily is personable, friendly, and professional. She is very easy to work with, and helped the husband (!!) and I feel comfortable. Nothing felt forced, and I think she did a great job of eliciting and capturing our authentic moments. We are super pleased with the pictures and I can't stop looking at them! Lol. I would *definitely* solicit Emily's services again. Maybe for one of her fun mini shoots down the line. What a cute, low pressure and creative way to get some quality photos! Reception/after party TBA in December 2021! Or 2022, depending on how things shake out ;)

Her work is a cut above in the emotional factor. The poses she chooses aren't typical and this results in real feeling coming out in the final product vs. stilted fake smiles.

I told Michelle this, and boy, did she deliver. I bought the premium package that came with a keepsake album. When I opened the lovely box it came in, I immediately was overcome with tears. She captured everything I wanted and everything I didn't know I needed. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Michelle! I love my photos. I will treasure them for the rest of my life. ...She also offered styling advice for this style-challenged Mom. She suggested 3 websites to buy clothes from.
