My wife and I have high standards, VERY high standards, and we gave Leslie an impossible mission:…read moreCapture the essence of our dream wedding and DON'T F**K it up. And Leslie more than accomplished that mission--she set the standard for how it should be done. We got married at a venue that spanned a large property in the middle of the High Desert, and the temperature at the time Leslie started couldn't have been cooler than 90 degrees. She managed to capture all of the special moments that preceded the actual ceremony, including brides' prep, first look, and both bridal parties. She then hustled down for the ceremony, and then managed to wrangle all of us afterward for photos during the "golden hour" against the breathtaking backdrop of beautiful Joshua trees and prehistoric rock formations. Somehow, she still had energy to work the cocktail hour, dinner and speeches, and then the most insane reception, which included dancing, a pinata, and a mariachi band. Most of my wedding day is a complete blur to me, which is why I am so incredibly grateful to have Leslie's photos to remind me of what an amazing and special day it was. She is sweet, tenacious, and utterly professional.

If you can book with them - do it! We had such an amazing experience with Lovers and Dreamers…read morePhotography, we couldn't be happier and were surprised that they were priced so reasonably compared to other photographers. Working with Leslie was easy. She is a true artist and it shows in the work she creates. I'm so grateful for stumbling upon her work.

Ani radiates amazing energy. She embodies such professionalism & grace and it is an absolute…read morepleasure to work with her. During the sessions not only does she capture beautiful moments, but she also makes you feel seen and incredible throughout. Her warmt, kindness, and her easy going personality is an absolute breath of fresh air! Photoshoots with young children can often be a stressful experience, but not with Ani. Most recently, I had a mother's day shoot scheduled with Ani with my 2 under 2 children. The morning of the shoot was rough, children were extra cranky, I was running behind because my hair appointment was taking longer than anticipated, and was an overall chaotic day! On our way to the shoot, traffic was insane. Throughout our drive to the location, I kept updating her on our eta (which kept getting longer and longer)! However, Ani was so understanding, reassuring, and kept saying to just have a safe drive. Needless to say we arrived 45 mins late. My nerves and anxiety at this point were through the roof because I was not sure how my 2 tired children who had been in the car for almost 2 hrs at this point, were even going to entertain a photoshoot. Well, thank goodness for Ani. She set the tone as soon as we got there. She greeted and welcomed us with such warmth and kindness. Her positive energy and fabulous way with children just turned everything for the better from that point on. My children were immediately drawn to her and had an amazing time with this shoot. Everything felt so easy, painless, and free flowing as she captured such special moments for my family and I, so beautifully. I recommend Ani 100/10 for any event/occassion. She is a gem and you will not regret it! Love her!

I was referred to Fangting for baby photos by a friend who had used her services for several…read moredifferent photoshoots, and I was always impressed by the various creative props and outfits and neat locations around San Diego she had taken photos in. The lighting of the photos and detail was always on point and oh so flattering. So when I saw a promo she was doing for a studio shoot for babies who were newly sitting-up independently I jumped on it for our 8-month old baby girl. I was not disappointed! I was nervous leading up to the shoot about every drool mark and rash that our baby had, thinking it would ruin the photos, and we were of course running behind and the baby was approaching naptime and was teething and drooling copiously the day of the shoot. Turns out I had no reason to be nervous. The powers of a talented photographer and staging and photo editing! We are so happy we have beautiful photos to cherish from this special stage of our baby's life, especially as her eyes are changing to darker brown and Fangting was able to capture their current hazel color, and her adorable chubby cheeks. Maddie came out still looking like herself, awkward hair and all, but the best version of herself that we all wish we could capture. Fangting was very patient and had a comfortable couch in her Mission Valley studio for us to get everything situated. We never felt rushed. She had everything needed for the photos and suggested the poses, although if we were so inclined she's the type who would easily work with your ideas. We were able to stay close to the baby, who was pretty tipper as a new sitter, and it was all very safe. One parent stayed by the baby to catch her falls and the other danced around trying to get her to smile. What would have helped is if we had brought some more toys from home to capture the baby's attention. There were a lot of interesting new things to play with and look at in the studio other than the camera lens lol. Photos came back quickly (1-2 weeks) and we are thrilled with how they turned out! As a bonus, Fangting and her husband took some behind-the-scenes video snippets and shared them with us. An unexpected treat and preview. Thanks, Fangting! PS - Yes this was during Covid times and we appreciated that her studio was still open and following safety protocols (temperature screening, masks, etc).

From day 1 of the process, we already knew we wanted to have you photograph our wedding. The initial call just felt so natural, as if we were friends picking up a conversation. You were there every step of the way; rooting us on as we awkwardly tried to pose in front of the camera, running to get paper towels before our first look because the flowers were dripping and stained my hand, and corralling our crazy family. You took us from being an hour behind schedule to ahead of schedule in no time. Thank you for your time, guidance, professionalism, and everything else in between. Whenever we look on our walls or see our phone's wallpaper, we smile - and we have these captured memories because of you.   -Jess and Austin

She was amazing in letting us know her style to make sure we would be happy with how she shot our wedding, and I very much appreciate her being so up front and honest. She prepped us with scheduling our wedding timeline and listing out family members and combinations we wanted photographed, and handled all joyfully. Our friends commented at the wedding how great she was at wrangling everyone, keeping things moving, all while being lovely to be around. She kept command as people got distracted during photos, and then seamlessly blended in with our guests and captured beautiful moments. We are so happy with our wedding photos and will cherish them for many years.
