I was looking for a photographer in the Brentwood area as a graduation gift for my niece. She was…read moregraduating high school, and I wanted to make this moment extra special for her. I came across Kree's Yelp page because of how close she was, but what really stood out was her website--the caliber and vibrancy of her photos were incredible. I knew right away she'd be a perfect fit for capturing my niece, both in her cap and gown and in her super colorful prom dress (which I was confident Kree could do justice!). From the moment I reached out, Kree was super responsive and easy to communicate with. The contract was simple and straightforward, pricing was fair and the breakdown of her packages were awesome. and she helped us agree on a time and location that worked perfectly, not far from our house either, which was a huge plus. On the day of the shoot, Kree arrived right on time and immediately made my niece feel comfortable. Since it was my niece's first time being professionally photographed, I appreciated how Kree guided her with poses and gave her direction to bring out her best angles. She was friendly, patient, and made the whole experience fun. We received the edited photos about two weeks later, and they were amazing, better than I could have imagined. Kree truly captured my niece's personality and the significance of the moment. Highlights for me: super responsive communication, an easy-to-understand contract, a convenient location, her friendly demeanor, and of course, the beautiful final photos. Thanks so much Kree!!!

This review has been a long time coming. Lori is phenomenal! She captured my wedding in June of…read morethis year and I was so grateful to have found her through my venue's list of preferred vendors. She was shocked that I hired her having only looked at her portfolio, but I knew from the photos she had of another wedding at my venue that she would do a great job. And after our initial conversation I knew she would be perfect! She's a professional through and through. I appreciate her working with my husband who is camera shy and managing to document beautiful moments with our chaotic (but sweet) families. I know we made her nervous because we were pretty laid back and I am so appreciative she kindly made us take certain photos even though we said they were not important. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

She was also fantastic with our toddler and made the photoshoot fun for her even when she wasn't always cooperative. We love all of the pictures and can't recommend Lori enough!

Sandy is truly one of the most skilled newborn/family photographers in the bay area! I was lucky to…read morefind Sandy 4 years ago with my first born and the newborn photos ended up being incredible! It was an easy decision to go back to her with our second baby. Here are some of the ways that Sandy truly stood out: - Both our babies were born around Christmas holiday and scheduling was not an issue at all for Sandy. She checked in ahead of the appointment to ensure we didn't need to reschedule (much needed for parents that just gave birth recently) and had our themes ready prior to us arriving. - The themes were 10/10, better than what we could've envisioned ourselves. And our themes were generic such as lemon or Christmas. - The amount of patience Sandy has is seriously amazing! Our second baby was a bit harder to photograph compared to the first, in addition to a toddler who wasn't in the mood for pictures, and it didn't phase Sandy at all. She took her time to make sure she was able to capture each theme well and had tips up her sleeve to get the toddler to take some pictures. I highly recommend going with Sandy if you're considering photo sessions! She goes above and beyond to ensure all the special moments are captured and the pictures are so incredibly worth it.

I'm truly delighted to share my experience working with Sandy! Her communication was wonderful from…read morethe very beginning, from arranging the appointment and customizing the scene setup to sending the photos. Everything went so smoothly. I am really impressed by her talent with infants and children; she was fantastic with my newborn and my 2-year-old. Her ability to craft stunning scenes is also incredible. And when it comes to her photography and editing skills, they are truly outstanding--just look at the edited photos, they're absolutely stunning! You won't be disappointed with Clairbare Studios and Sandy's gift for capturing beautiful, lasting memories of your little ones.

She was involved in even the tiniest details, from choosing themes and coordinating outfits to helping me pick my nail color, which honestly made me feel like I could completely trust her. She even spent an entire day on calls with us while we were shopping and sent over links for things we might need. We told her we wanted a natural, candid shoot--nothing too posed or cliché--and she totally got it. She found some beautiful fall-themed spots and captured exactly the vibe we were going for. On the day of the shoot, she made sure we felt relaxed and comfortable the whole time. Radhika truly goes above and beyond, and her passion for what she does really shows.

You have to work with Toanven Photography because you will not regret it at all and get everything you want and more!! Toan and team are the absolute very best - worked directly with Toan, Martin, Trieu, and Michael and all very professional and super easy to get along with! We used Toanven photography for our engagement photoshoot / pre wedding , church wedding ceremony at St.Jarlath Catholic Church and civil wedding at Nella terra cellars. Also used their videography services which was also really great. When looking for a photographer , we wanted to make sure that our photographer is easy going, can help guide us and has experience with our venue. I discovered Toanven photography because my best friend used their services for her wedding and after finding out Toan had lots of experience at Nella Terra we knew we had to meet him. On our first zoom call Toan was beyond welcoming and excited which made us excited. He made us laugh, made us comfortable and answered all of our questions and broke down the whole process. Before the wedding Toan helped us better plan our timeline for photos and took his time to understand what were the "must have photos". He gave us alternatives on how we can still get pictures with others and saving time. His advice on a family shot list was super helpful as well. On wedding day Toan was just the person I needed around me with all the craziness of wedding day. His personality bring calmness and he is quick to think if a photo location doesn't work well for the lighting - he found better positioning and areas for the photos the look flawless. Beyond helpful when it came to posing, how to stand , where to look and capture all the right angles. Lastly, Depending on the package you go for, you will get a set number of edits photos and our photos were so amazing it was hard to reach the number of edits we can use. That says a lot about how the quality of the photos are and how they already shine! So reach out to Toanven photography, I promise you will love every moment!

Came through his studio by Branham & Almaden and instantly felt like I was in good hands. Super chill, calm, and professional -- no ego, just pure passion for what he does. He's insanely dialed in with angles, lighting, and composition. The way he sets up shots and makes small adjustments shows how much detail he pays attention to. Nothing feels rushed, everything feels intentional. What really stands out is how comfortable he makes you feel in front of the camera. He gives clear direction without overdoing it, and somehow brings out your best look naturally. His eye for detail is next level -- from posture to shadows to background, he doesn't miss. You can tell he's someone who takes pride in his work and actually cares about delivering high-quality results, not just "getting the shot." The final photos came out clean, sharp, and professional -- honestly exceeded expectations. If you want someone who's skilled, patient, creative, and genuinely invested in making you look good, Toanvenphotography is it. Bay Area hidden gem for sure. Highly recommend.

I've already recommended her to several friends--and will continue to do so. I reached out to Xinlei in a bit of a panic, hoping to capture newborn photos at home. Thankfully, she was available and offered a wonderful "Watch Me Grow" package that included sessions at newborn (added fee), 6 months, and 12 months. I really wanted newborn photos in our home so we could include our two dogs and remember this special chapter--bringing our baby home to our San Francisco house. Like any new mom, I was overwhelmed. The day of the shoot was pure chaos--baby had a blowout, peed on the bed, skipped her nap, and I wasn't fully ready when Xinlei arrived. But Xinlei was so calm, patient, and reassuring. She made us feel completely at ease, even when everything felt messy. I genuinely thought there was no way we got any good photos from that session. But when the gallery came back, I was blown away. The photos were stunning. They beautifully captured our new family--full of warmth and love. You'd never guess how hectic that day really was. The 6- and 12-month shoots were just as smooth. Xinlei was consistently kind, creative, and patient--and the photos were incredible every time. I've received so many compliments, and I can't wait to work with her again. If you're even thinking about booking her, do it. You won't regret it! Also her pricing is very reasonable!!

As a new mom, who delivered 5 weeks early, I was disappointed not to have had a chance for a maternity shoot and overwhelmed trying to research accommodating photographers whose work I loved. After 3 months with a preemie we were finally ready and Xinlei was recommended by a close friend. She was amazing!! We selected her "Watch Me Grow" package that included sessions at newborn (she allowed us to do this at 3 months), 6 months, and 12 months. I really wanted my daughter's photos in our home so we could include our puppy and the brand new home we had just moved into. On zero sleep, still struggling to "feel like myself", realizing I had only selected outfits for the baby, and forgetting to eat... Xinlei was exactly who we needed. She came with bringing baked goods from Paris Baguette for my husband and I (hangry husband would not make for a good shoot! Haha), loved on our attention-starved puppy, and was so patient when our daughter feel asleep / had to take a milk break in the middle of the shoot. We laughed the whole time, got to know each other, and all felt so at ease! She even included my mother who was visiting in a few photos - something so special to us. The gallery (for all our sessions) blew us away. The photos were beautiful, captured our growing little family... and she even included a few fun blooper pictures (a given with a newborn, 6m, or 1 yr old) for laughs! We also looked forward to our sessions. Xinlei is so thoughtful, patient, and deliver beautiful quality work. I would highly recommend!!
