She gets into her zone and does her magic to get the most beautiful portraits. I am already thinking what milestone she will capture for us next! She took my maternity photos at her studio while I was 37 weeks pregnant. She has a beautiful selection of outfits in her client closet. She asks questions before to get an idea of what your vision is. I always envisioned wearing my wedding dress with my baby bump, and she made it happen. She makes the experience stress free; she is prepared and provides guidance on how to pose. I am forever thankful that she captured that chapter of my life! She also took our newborn's photos at 2 weeks old. I was worried that we wouldn't have the best outcome because our baby wouldn't fall asleep, but once he finally did she did her magic. I appreciated how she moved around her studio like a choreographed dance. And again, she was open to ideas to personalize our session. It's difficult choosing favorite photos because they are all so good! I would even take the unedited photos. Thank you Carrie for capturing these special moments!

If you ever need photography services, I highly recommend Rikki! First off, he was very welcoming…read moreand attentive when I was looking for inquiries. He replied right away, gave wonderful suggestions, even composed a contract which i thought was very professional. It just shows how passionate and serious Rikki is when it comes to his services. Prior to the photoshoot, he did some virtual investigating of the campus, told us what places we'd visit just in the right time of golden hour, when to use props for best lighting, even gave us a series of GIFs he made which i thought was the highlight of his work! So it made me really excited for this photoshoot. When the day came for the photoshoot, Rikki gave many suggestions as to pose! Of course, it'd be really great if you know how to pose as well so you could maximize the time you have with him! We got the photos the same week so you can definitely count on Rikki to be accountable for his quick services! I'll definitely be recommending him to our friends/family!

I reached out to him for a graduation shoot and he was extremely responsive and it was extremely easy to set up a time for the shoot, he sent over a contract, and even provided a list of suggested locations. Through his guidance and expertise, we were able to select wonderful locations throughout UCI for the pics and he was extremely genuine and thoughtful in creating an environment for me to feel comfortable. (I was super nervous about posing since I'm not the best). His attention to detail was immaculate and he always ensured that I saw the pictures throughout the shoot and was satisfied with them before moving on to the next location or pose. He even allowed us to go over time and was very flexible! Truly, a great experience!!

Sonja was AMAZING!!!!…read more I contacted Sonja for a graduation photos hoot. She was prompt with her reply and I once I saw her other photos in reviews, I knew I wanted to work with her.
