I waited and waited. I wasn't in any real hurry since I was ahead of the game. I understood they were busy. But when it came down to it, I NEVER got a response. I emailed him (6/13/15), as courtesy, to please get us the estimate so we could make our deposit. I have still never received a response. Thoroughly disappointed. (9/19/15) Finally got a response. There was miss communication. Everything is set in motion. I'm still very excited. We shall see how things play out.

Most of our previous attempts at picture taking, besides her newborn photographs, ended in tears for all of us. Kristin was amazing with my girl. She was so patient and understanding and never made me feel pressured when my little one wouldn't cooperate. She simply let her explore her environment on her own terms and captured those memories at just the right moments. I would highly reccomend using her for all your photography needs. Most especially if your kiddo has any time of special needs.

Jenna is the photographer I trust for my family and event photographs. When I first met her, it was…read moremy son's first birthday. When she arrived, she took time to get to know him and let him warm up to her. She is patient and works to try different poses and positions if one way isn't working out. Now my son is 2.5 years old and when he sees her he starts smiling and posing because he knows she is taking his picture. I have nearly all the photographs hanging around our house and when family and friends come over they are always complimenting what great photos they are. She has a great eye for backgrounds and positioning. A few weeks before our photo sessions, we exchange ideas and she is always willing to try new ideas and themes. I also love the fact that she gives all the photos on an usb drive so I can easily order the prints I want. Jenna was there for my son's first birthday and I will hire her until he gets married and has my grandchildren!

We used Mountain Event Productions for Videography and Audio services during our daughter's wedding…read morein Truckee. They were professional, showed up early and met all of our expectations. The father and son team were easy going and nice to work with. Our budget was tight, as we were investing heavily in wedding photography, so we were happy to find them pretty late in the planning process, and appreciated their flexibility. We requested a documentary style video of the wedding with minimal editing, to keep the costs down. Their audio services during the wedding with wireless mics, amplified music and sound mixing were perfect and exactly what we needed. The final wedding video product was beautiful and they did a great job with nice editing and segmentation that captured the feeling and emotions of the day. Their turnaround was quick, and they gave us a beautiful memory that we hoped for, and created affordable duplicate copies for us to share with our family as well.

We chose Greg to DJ our wedding in Auburn, CA. It was easy to work with him and he is very…read moreenthusiastic. There was a mix-up with e-mails at one point regarding where we would meet for a meeting. It wasn't a big deal, but he had confirmed the time and meeting place over e-mail, but forgot he had done so. We both ended up in two different places, my fiance and I in the place we had agreed upon in e-mail and Greg at another location. Thankfully we could still meet with him that day, but we had to drive to him. The day before the wedding, I called Greg to see if we could book the video, so he and his son are definitely very flexible. Though, somehow he already had it in his notes that we wanted a video, which we had never confirmed. He also asked questions about the ceremony and reception, though we had already had the conversation at a previous meeting and in e-mails. There were just enough small hiccups that made me wonder if he was fully prepared. In the end, Greg did a great job with the ceremony and reception. Other than at the very start of the ceremony, the mics worked very well and everyone could hear what was being said. As the bridal party was lining up to be announced into the reception, there was some confusion for Greg regarding the line-up, even though we outlined who would be walking together. I am not sure why this happened, but my husband was able to help sort things out. The reception ran very smoothly and he played the songs we wanted for the most part. I specifically told him not to play slow songs, but he started the dancing with two slow songs. This was quickly fixed once I told him to not play anymore. We also asked him to play music in the order of generations (50s, 60s, 70s, etc.). This didn't really happen, but he played songs we liked, so it was fine in the end. I just worried the older folks didn't feel a part of the dancing as much, though many still joined in. We ordered the video option. It is awesome to know we have a video of our day and we can always watch it again and again. It turned out a little differently than we anticipated in terms of length (it's over an hour), so we may shorten it ourselves in some way if possible. The use of the drone was a great addition. I would say if you want someone to document your day, this is a great option and is very affordable compared to most videographers. But it isn't going to be creatively cut and there are times when the video is a little shaky. Overall, Greg and his son did a pretty good job. There was some hiccups along the way, but really nothing major. Both Greg and his son were pleasant and friendly. Greg is also very reasonably priced.

My wife and I have used Studio Six for our engagement, wedding, and my wife's boudoir photos. We…read morerecently hired Kristy for our newborn session, as well, and we couldn't have made a better choice. Due to our recent move tot he central coast, we were worried that we wouldn't be able to have Kristy capture our newborn's first days. However, Kristy created a mobile studio in our living room. With her positive attitude, flexibility, and willingness to listen to her clients, we recommend Studio Six to anyone in the Bay Area. Thanks Kristy for the awesome newborn session on Saturday. Reaffirms why we chose you for engagement, boudoir, and wedding photos!

From the first interaction with Kristy my now husband (! =) ) and I knew we had found the…read morephotographer for us. We of course had looked at her amazing photos on her website but meeting with her sealed the deal. Kristy makes you feel so comfortable, like you're meeting with a friend. She allowed us to make changes to the standard packages she offers so everything was perfectly tailored to us. An engagement session was included in our package and it was a great way to get to know Kristy and how she works. I would absolutely suggest this before the wedding shoot. This was also a great way to get to know Kristy as a person. By the end of that shoot my husband and I knew we had not only picked the perfect photographer but we had made a new friend as well. One of the best parts about the whole experience with Kristy is how quickly she gets a "sneak peek" up. You can tell how much she loves what she does because it's up by the next day! The wedding day was great. Kristy was 9 months pregnant on our wedding day so she was kind enough to get us a 3rd photographer (not originally included in the package) in case anything were to happen. (She of course let us know about this as soon as she could) Everyone was on time and professional. It was really important to my husband and I that we get great photos with out being swept away from our guests for hours. Kristy took us aside for maybe 20 min. post ceremony and maybe another 10 min. later once the light was better. We could not be happier with the shots that she and her team we able to achieve! And our sneak peek was up Sunday before we left on our honeymoon! My husband and I now live down in the central coast but we would still choose Kristy for any other special occasions that might be upcoming! =)

I have talked with Cassie on Facebook messenger and was able to ask her all my questions with out feeling like I was asking something dumb. Cassie is an outstanding person who gives her heart into what she loves; which is making each one of her clients completely comfortable with each picture and empowering them. I walked away from my session feeling like I can take on the world! I gained not only someone who I will DEFINITELY be going to next time for a well deserved pick me up empowerment afternoon, but I also gained new friends! THANK YOU CASSIE AND CHRISTINA!!!

Luckily Cassie has a welcoming spirit and knows no stranger! I immediately felt comfort with her, she brings such a peaceful and happy aurora with her. I trusted her guidance her knowledge in poses and boy did it pay off in the end! I loved my picture and was in shock it was me. After having a baby, I was lacking self-confidence, which, after the session I gained seeing myself through her lenses. Fast forward to this month. I've been looking forward to this session. I splurge and treated myself to the whole experience. I added hair and makeup and got a full session. It was all completely worth it. Like I told Cassie before, I was doing this shoot as a surprise for my significant other, but also for myself. Us moms get caught up in taking care of everyone else and don't always feel the best. Cassie's work is obviously phenomenal, but also a reminder of how beautiful you are. She captures you in such great lighting and angles, I catch myself telling her I can't believe that is me. I fall in love with myself more and more after I get photos done by her. I can't even tell you how great I feel after a session with her. I will always recommend her. 10/10
