We couldn't be happier with Alina's work. She has captured so many beautiful moments in our life…read moreand one of our favorites is our pregnancy photoshoot. We shared special locations in Oakland and she scouted them out to ensure we had the best backdrops and lighting to get that dream shot. Alina is so approachable and makes being in front of the camera easy and fun. She guided us with precision so we always knew what to do, ultimately resulting in a wonderful photoshoot filled with memories. I would recommend Alina to anyone looking to capture the special moments in your life. Her team is responsive, easy to communicate with, and easy to coordinate.

We were fortunate to find some very good vendors for our wedding but none was better than Alina…read more She is truly inspired to get great photos and even though I (the groom) am a difficult subject, she did. I hate having my picture taken but she was able to make me feel comfortable and eventually natural in front of the camera. Prenup photos were part of the service and she met us for a shoot then encouraged us to do another the following week at a spot where the light was better. She doesn't care what it takes, she just wants the pics to be right. On the wedding day she met with my wife beforehand to capture her and her sisters getting ready while her husband was with me at the venue photographing the set up. During the wedding they captured all the key moments while making sure to get photos of our guests along with us. The pictures came out fantastic. To me photography was on the low end of wedding priorities in our planning but now I am very happy that my wife insisted they were important. Thanks to Alina we have a treasure of pictures to help us always remember the wonderful day.

We are beyond happy with the amazing photos she and her team captured on our special day. She is great to work with, is enthusiastic in her work, helped us pose for pictures, and made sure she captured exactly what we were looking for. We highly recommend her for any special occasion. We cannot give you enough thanks, Gia.

On the day, she made both me and my husband feel so comfortable and the whole shoot was so fun and easy.

She is amazing !

Tiffany has been capturing memories for me and my family for over a decade, and every single time,…read morethe experience has been phenomenal. Her strong work ethic truly sets her apart from other photographers. She's incredibly responsive, offers plenty of options, and works closely with you to match your preferences. The photo sessions themselves are also worth highlighting. We usually opt for outdoor shoots, and Tiffany always picks the perfect spots. She has a keen eye for those small, candid moments that end up being the most meaningful. Her attention to detail is unmatched, and she even brings props to elevate the photos. As for the final product--there really aren't enough words to describe how much we love it. Her edits enhance the photos without making us look filtered or unrecognizable. Each picture turns out beautifully and tells a story we can feel. At this point, Tiffany feels like family. I first reached out to her after seeing a shoot she did for my cousin, and I was instantly impressed. I'm forever grateful I discovered her work--it truly takes someone special and skilled to capture such meaningful moments.

Throughout the experience Tiffany was always professional as well as friendly. She was very patient the day of our photoshoot and ensured our baby girl felt comfortable during the session.

We definitely recommend Tiffany's photography services and we hope to work with her again in the future!

Do you see that adorable naked baby in the monkey hat? That is my baby! He was six months old when…read moreChristine did that photo shoot, and she was simply superb. She got smiles galore out of our little one, had an eye for capturing perfect shots, and was really creative. (My son couldn't sit up yet when the picture was taken, but she managed to snap that photo as he made a game of flopping over after we arranged him in a "tripod" position.) She knows how to make the best of natural light -- even if it means rearranging the furniture a little! In our session, we got photos in our home as well as outside, photos of the baby by himself and a few of the three of us together and of the baby with each parent individually. When I got the proofs, I actually squealed my way through them I was so delighted. We ordered pictures for our friends and family (including the one shown in the examples here), who loved them and admire our family portrait, which is so natural and captures our family perfectly. The price for the session is phenomenally good and the picture prices are good as well -- when I've heard what other parents have spent on photos that were pretty good but not oh-my-gosh-she-can-photograph-our-souls good, I just shake my head. I'm glad Yelp sent me Christine's way. As other reviewers have said, she is an artist. We've booked Christine again to take our little one's first birthday photos (time flies!) this coming Sunday, and I'm looking forward to it.

We signed up for a one year package for pictures of our first son at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months and just finished the second sitting. The pictures are incredible and we have received so many compliments from friends and family. We went to a nearby lake and also did shots in our house. We've been told the first year goes by so fast and we really wanted to capture our son in these different stages. Christine keeps things very simple and goes with the flow. If you're looking for a talented, fun and professional photographer, check out Christine!

She made sure she got all sorts of poses of us as a family, kids, and solo baby. She was patient, generous, calm, and professional the entire time. It was supposed to be for an hour, she went several minutes over until her memory was full. She took over 700 photos! The weather was little on the warmer side, but she remained patient with us. She also provided us with photo edits as requested. She is very talented and she has fair prices. I highly recommend her for any photoshoot. I will definitely call her again for any future needs.

We always have to get frozen yogurt across the street afterwards. It's become a family tradition. Sylvia is an amazing photographer. She photographed my daughter since she was 4. My daughter Stela loved Frozen & Sylvia had a dress to loan her for her photos. My daughter mentioned she always wanted to be on the cover of a magazine & a model. Sylvia arranged it so she could model the dress & be on the cover of her own magazine that she super imposed her photo on. Sylvia is so creative. My daughter was so happy & so was I. Cutest pictures. My son Sam is difficult to photograph because he's 4. Sylvia uses such unique ways to get him to smile. She has been able to take his picture for the last two years. Before Sylvia no photographer had been able to get him to smile & look into the camera. We spent hours at other photo places & to no avail. Then we met Sylvia. Sylvia just says the right things & he looks right at her & smiles. She's wonderful. I'm thankful for the pictures that she has taken of my kids. Thanks Sylvia for all the wonderful photos & memories you created for our family. I will cherish the photos forever. It's wonderful to look back & see how my children have grown over the years. Memories I will cherish forever.

After the session, you will find yourself staring at the images over and over again that you will want to get your images off the computer and your cell phone and up on your walls.
