Our photographs turned out beautifully--very natural and not too edited. Exactly what we wanted! One moment I'll never forget during our special day is when Emily surprised us with an impromptu church exit/flower petal toss with our guests. I had mentioned the idea to her at the wedding rehearsal the night before but explained it wasn't in our floral budget. She went home that night and handpicked flowers so that we could have that experience. Truly one of our favorite moments of the day and all thanks to Emily! On top of this, a whole year later, she is answering emails and photograph edit requests. I'd hire her again in a heartbeat!

I cannot recommend Emily Matheson Photography enough! She is not only incredibly talented behind…read morethe camera, but also one of the kindest and most genuine people you'll ever meet. She has taken my family photos since I was a little girl. We've always had comfortable and fun sessions -- she makes everyone feel relaxed, including my daughter (which is no small feat ). The photos turn out stunning every time -- natural, beautifully edited, and full of emotion. She has such an eye for capturing little moments you didn't even realize were happening.

I reached out to Joyce VERY shortly before our yearly family vacation to Caspar…read more(Mendocino/FortBragg area.) I am so lucky she was able to squeeze us in! Her communication throughout the whole process was wonderful. It was my parent's 49th wedding anniversary while we were there. I wanted all of us to have some beautiful images at our favorite place with our favorite people. Joyce really nailed it. The weather was awful!! Foggy, cold, and windy, but she was very accommodating and able to pick the best time to create the images I wanted. We were able to go to different locations and she was great about knowing which areas would make amazing pictures. They were spots I would never have thought to choose, but they are some of my favorites! We got all the posed photos that I requested and then some. We also got many beautiful pictures that were more natural and showed some of our silliness. It was really helpful when she would instruct us on how we were standing, how to position our arms, have us turn our faces so the light was correct, etc.. All and all it was a fantastic experience creating an ocean family photo session. All of us got everything we wanted. Some of the candid type photos resonate with certain people. The pictures of my dad kissing my mom on the cheek like he always does are just classic. I got the posed picture of all 10 of us on the beach that was my inspiration for the whole thing. We got a picture for one of the little girls with her parents that are not a couple. I think having that will be priceless to her.

When we discovered Mendocino, we knew its where we wanted to have our elopement. The magic of the…read moreredwoods, the oceanside cliffs, and the beaches all lured us in, but we had no idea where to start. As we did research, we found Joyce. She was easy to communicate with, highly knowledgable of the area and had all the recommendations we could ask for to help us in choosing all sorts of things: officiants, florists, dining, things to do, etc. She even chatted with me when I was choosing my gown about how it may look in the photos depending on which one I went with. Ultimately, we shared photos of what we loved in Joyce's work, and handed her full creative freedom to lead us where felt right. She was careful to have us as we naturally were, she didn't pose us one time (which made me nervous during the shoot!). In the end, we couldn't be more grateful for the vision she brought to life. Our wedding day was captured so gorgeously; every shot is a love letter to our day -- luminous, timeless, majestic. Here are some quotes from friends who reached out after seeing the photos: "Congratulations! Wow, these pictures are amazing! You look like an ethereal princess" "The photos look like you're in a fairytale!" "Absolutely stunning." Thank you Joyce, for your dedication to your craft.

Hollie is more than just a photographer, she's become a dear friend. She truly cares about the people she works with and builds lasting relationships. That connection shines through in her photos. While she's captured our family memories, I've seen her incredible talent across the board. Maternity, newborns, weddings, school portraits, she has done it all, and she done it beautifully. She has a natural gift, especially with babies, and a true eye for capturing meaningful moments.

I will forever call her The Baby Whisperer, she was instantly able to calm him down and lull him to sleep for those perfect Pinterest worthy newborn photos. She captured those fleeting newborn moments so beautifully. She had all of the props clean and ready for my family. She has hats, wraps, and outfits- all I needed to bring was my baby. She posed him perfectly, and also posed us as a family and made us feel very comfortable. I am a wedding photographer so newborn photos were very important to me- but I wanted a photographer who specialized in babies. Hollie is the only photographer in Mendocino County who specializes in newborns, and is the only person I would trust with my baby. We will treasure these pictures for our entire lifetime! Working with Hollie was an absolute pleasure.
