We had the most amazing experience during our family photoshoot, which included our baby, parents and our dog. Maryam was incredibly professional and had a magical way of soothing the baby, ensuring we got beautiful, stress-free shots. Maryam and team were also wonderfully dog-friendly, which made the entire session relaxed and fun for all of us. Maryam's warm and friendly demeanor instantly made us feel very comfortable, and she also accommodated the props we brought along, incorporating them seamlessly into the shoot. We're thrilled with how the photos turned out and can't recommend them highly enough for family sessions--especially if you have little ones and furry family members! read more

This is the second time we have gone back to work with Maryam. Our first experience was back in 2021 when we had our first daughter and now we came back with our second daughter in 2024. She is amazing and dedicates all her time to your session. She asked for your ideas does what you want and really gets you involved and making sure you like what's coming out of the session. She make sure to show you the pictures and make you feel like you know you can get those angles that feel good to you. Also, she's so patient with children and I think there is nothing better than that having a newborn and then it toddler that doesn't listen it can get difficult but she's so sweet and really puts in her time to make sure the whole family is comfortable. I don't have any edited pictures yet, but here's some that I had just taken on my phone. read more

Two weeks ago, I had my maternity session with Maryam and her fantastic team, Limoo. They did a great job. Maryam communicated very well with our two year old son. She is very kind, respectful, and professional. She is amazing!! I don't know how to thank her for the beautiful photos and the wonderful moments she captured. I highly recommend her. read more

Maryam did a fantastic job with our newborn photos, and was so pleasant and easy to work with. From the intro call where she listened to what we wanted, to the day of experience where she and her assistant were so gentle with the baby and accommodating of our toddler for the sibling photos. She was patient and made us feel completely at ease, and I knew the baby was in good hands. I was also impressed that her assistant was right next to her to "catch" the baby - very cool and safety-first! On the editing process, I was impressed that she managed to get us initial edits and holiday card photos quickly given how busy the holiday season must have been (we did photos early December), and then the second half were also high quality. She also includes black and white of all the photos you choose! And the photos themselves are so beautiful. There was one particular pose that I loved from her instagram, and I was so happy she was able to make it perfect. I always smile when I see the photos! I will definitely be going back for future milestone shoots! read more

Maryam is simply fantastic. There are three main reasons why we loved having our new born baby shoot with her 1) She is very warm and amazing with babies. She made us confortable instantly and it was so easy to work with her and trust her with our baby 2) Her studio is very spacious and well designed. She has so many artifacts that can be used for the photo shoot and she is very willing to work with you to get it all set up 3) She is a brilliant photographer and takes marvelous photos. I don't think that statement needs any further explanation :) If you are still deciding between her and anyone else, I hope this review helps you pick her, you can't go wrong. read more

Maryam is such a professional! She has been amazing to work with. I never felt rushed through the process. We ran into some hiccups along the way with delay on my end due to the chaos of managing a new born and a toddler. Maryam has been very understanding and accommodating of this - I appreciate that a lot! She had all the sets ready for us when we got to her studio. The pics look lovely! Thank you for everything, Maryam! We will cherish these memories for ever. read more

Did the baby one year milestone pic. Absolutely amazing pictures! Highly recommended!

I have been following Maryam for years waiting to get pregnant knowing I wanted her to do our photos! She absolutely exceeded our expectations. She had so many options, we were able to get the set ups we hoped for. To top it off, aside from being a baby whisperer, she wrangled in my toddler with silliness and we are now going to have the sweetest family photos! Absolutely would recommend her to my loved ones. read more

We had a really fun time on our maternity photo shoot. The studio was all set up when we arrived and there was a good selection of dresses and gowns to choose from. Maryam and her stylist were fun and friendly, helping us through poses. We even managed to work in our high energy dog. They made sure to keep me comfortable and warm, asking often if I needed a break, playing my favorite songs to get the right energy. Can't wait to be back for our newborn shoot. read more

Loved our photo session with Maryam! Not only is she an incredibly talented photographer, she is a baby whisperer and kept my newborn calm during the entire session, and even managed to keep my very active toddler busy and happy with her toys, puppets, and her overall warm energy. Maryam made us feel comfortable throughout the entire shoot making it a fun experience for all of us. As someone who is painstakingly detail-oriented, I loved her attention to detail, whether it be a shirt that needed to be tucked or a stray hair, no detail went unnoticed. My husband and I were also impressed with her Covid protocols, making sure our session was sanitized and safe. On top of having an overall wonderful experience, the photos turned out absolutely beautiful. Thank you Maryam for capturing these special moments for our family, can't wait for future sessions! read more

I love coming across businesses that truly impress me, especially when they are women owned! And Limoo Photography is definetely one of them! We had a wonderful experience from start to finish. Maryam was responsive to our inquiry and booked us for a session within the same week. She sent useful info on how to prepare and asked us what colors we would like to use. When we arrived at the studio, she had everything set up and ready to go. The studio is very clean, comfortable, and fun to be at. She provided drinks, snacks, toys, and books to keep our kids happy! My 4 year old was having such a good time, he didn't want to leave even after being there for 4 hours! Maryam is very professional, warm, and generous with her time. She took so many shots of our family and newborn. She was patient and wonderful with the baby. She kept him calm and peaceful! We loved so many of the photos, it took us weeks to narrow down our favorites. If you are looking for a great photography experience, Limoo Photography is the place to go! read more

Update (5/2023): I wish we could give more than 5 stars for Maryam and her team. Having been super impressed by the newborn photoshoot, we had our baby's six month and one year including cake smash photoshoots with Maryam. While the Six month shoot went smooth our baby boy didn't particularly warm up to the idea of digging his hands into a cake. Maryam and her associate were very patient and were very accommodative our the baby's and our needs (and our pet dog's :) ). The outfit and set choices were adorable. Maryam captured some beautiful moments of our family (and smiling family) and we cannot wait to get our hands on the photos. We highly recommend Maryam from Limoo for any baby milestone photoshoots and look forward to get them capture many more beautiful moments for our family. New born Photoshoot (5/2022): We were very impressed with the overall experience of newborn shoot with Maryam and her associate. While we were late to the appointment, Maryam and team were extremely accommodative, patient and caring. The way they handled the baby was super tender and cute. Maryam took our feedback prior to the appointment on our interests and accommodated all our requests in the shoot. What impressed us the most was that even though we were late at no point did we feel rushed and the way they handled the baby (feeding, burping, dressing) was wonderful to witness. I would highly recommend them for new born photography. Cannot wait to get our hands on the pictures and already looking forward to schedule our next milestone photo shoot with Limoo photography. read more

Thank you Maryam for such a wonderful and fun session! Maryam was super easy to work with, had an excellent wardrobe, and had a wonderful way of engaging our toddler. She had so many shoot ideas and embraced bringing to life an idea that we had. We would absolutely recommend her and hope to work with her again. read more

Wow. We don't even know where to begin. We hired Maryam to take our daughter's first holiday photos and she exceeded our expectations. Maryam provided outstanding service throughout the entire process!! As first time parents, we were so nervous how our daughter would react to the camera because she is very shy. However, when we arrived at the photo studio Maryam reassured us that everything will turn out great. (Btw the studio is SUPER clean and organized:). Maryam was able to capture many cute photos of our daughter laughing and smiling, she is truly the baby whisperer!!! We thought the photoshoot was very fun and this opinion is coming from my husband who usually hates taking pictures LOL! Im so happy Maryam also captured photos of my daughter and I because MOMS are always behind the camera. We love Maryam's work and couldn't be more happy with the finishing product!! Thank you Maryam to you and your team, we look forward to capturing more memories in the future!! read more

So excited to have connected with Maryam before our son was born to set up our newborn photoshoot. She did an excellent job with incorporating any props we wanted and was sooo good with the baby. He had a little poopathon during the shoot and she handled it so well. After that, we did a few more photo shoots with her for outdoor family portraits and our son's 1 year shoot. We framed all these pics and literally were so happy with her flexibility with editing, time, special requests. Love this girl!! Highly recommend! ‍ read more

This review is much due!! I have searched and talked to so many photographers , I must say some of them were so non adjusting and rude !! Maryam was so friendly since the first day. She is a hidden gem and works according to your wish and will.. also she makes you really comfortable. We did a outdoor maternity session, but her studio is also amazing! We booked newborn package also with her in studio. Look forward to it.. Thank you Maryam for a wonderful experience! Would cherrish for lifetime.. Highly recommend her read more

My husband and I had a wonderful time doing a maternity shoot with Limoo photography! It was such a fun session trying out different ideas and was personalized based on my mood and vibe, which felt extra special and made everything worth it! read more

I had a studio maternity photo session with Maryam and the whole experience was great. She has a wide selection of dresses and fabrics that she styles beautifully. You pick the ones you like before the session, so be sure to bring both nude and black undergarments to go with your outfit selections. Maryam was so efficient, I was able to do 6 outfits for my session. She'd tell you how to pose, where to look, you don't have to worry about anything because she will make sure you look good in every shot! Also, I was able to take photos with my husband and my 17 month old first born, which made it very special. The pictures came out really great! I highly recommend Maryam - Limoo Photography, very professional and very pleasant to work with. read more

I would highly recommend limoo photography to anyone who wants the cutest newborn photos. Maryam was so accommodating when it came to the date of the shoot. Baby and I weren't ready to take our photos right away after birth, and so we took them when baby was 1 month old. The photos were perfect! During the shoot, Maryam and her assistant were so friendly and welcoming. They made us feel so comfortable. They also are super dog friendly, so if you want newborn photos with your dog, they are great. We are looking forward to booking with limoo again for our baby's first birthday. read more

we did maternity AND newborn photos with maryam, and it was worth every second of our experience! we were skeptical about doing a maternity shoot at first, especially as a camera shy couple, but found her work on instagram and fell in love with her newborn work. we noticed she also did maternity shoots and offered wardrobe for pregnant women, so we decided to take a chance on it too and glad we did. maryam is a true artist who not only has an eye for composition and capturing life-worthy moments, she also made the baby and us feel safe, comfortable, and joyful to what could otherwise be a stressful time during late pregnancy and early stages postpartum. we did an outdoors session for maternity shoot and loved the garden vibes we were able to capture even in the winter. the studio itself not only has all colors and props you can imagine, but there is deep attention to creating an atmosphere that encouraged a successful session, down to the climate, use of space, cleanliness, and choice in music. maryam even bought fresh flowers for one of our backdrops for our baby photos. highly recommend.. you won't regret it! read more

Maryam and her team at Limoo photography were absolutely amazing. Super professional, well prepared, and attentive to our needs. We came in with a crowd of folks and they did a great job. Appreciate their care for me as I just delivered - filling my bag with drinks and snacks, helping me out with my stuff to the car and treating me like family. Besides their insane photography talent, they are great people you want to work with! read more

Maryam is an absolutely amazing photographer and awesome to work with as a mom navigating the crazy newborn stage in the first week. She set up the themes according to suggestions from us and even incorporated my wedding sari as part of the photos upon a last minute request. She was so gentle with our newborn and took the utmost care. The photos could not have turned out any better, and I look back on them all the time. read more

Maryam is a dream to work with, her images are timeless. She captured the son's personality and the joy in our life. So happy to have worked with her. I have memories for a lifetime now thanks to her. Her images are high quality and her service and responsiveness so professional. read more

I am so fortunate to have stumbled across Maryam at Limoo Photography. When I contacted her about Maternity photos she was so sweet and open to hearing what I was looking for. I could tell that we were going to have a great experience with her. She did not disappoint! From the moment we entered her studio, she was warm and gracious to make us feel comfortable. She had so many beautiful options ready of wardrobe to chose from. Her studio was clean with all COVID precautions taken. I sent her some examples of poses and photos I liked for inspiration prior and she made every effort to get me similar shots and more. Maryam and her assistant took their time to make sure every shot came out perfect. She even made sure to fix my hair before each shot which I really appreciated and stopped whenever I needed a little break. She had a fan to keep me cool and comfortable as we worked through the many poses and some snacks to keep a mama from getting hungry. My husband and I both had so much fun and enjoyed the entire experience. I can't wait to see the final results, but I know from the shots she showed us during our session that they are going to be beautiful. I highly recommend Maryam and hope to work with her again in the future! read more

We really enjoyed our experience with Maryam and Limoo Photography. We stumbled with Limoo via an instragram add as we were looking for newborn photos. I was very impressed with her work and contacted her right away. Maryam was very quick to respond and explained the newborn package and any questions we had. We decided to book with Maryam and are very happy we did. The day of the photoshoot she kept our baby boy at ease. He slept through the whole session. She was very gentle and caring with him. We wished we can bring Maryam home as she kept him asleep almost the whole time. You know that's hard for a new born. We are very impressed with her work and professionalism. Knowing that photos of our baby are a long lasting memory, we are glad we chose Limoo and Maryam to capture him. read more

Maryam is the absolute best. Sooo friendly, so creative and absolutely fantastic with our daughter and our newborn son. The family shots turned out so wonderful. Such a happy experience even being there to watch her work and create. Absolutely recommend to everyone looking to do family photos and we will continue to use her in the future! read more

Our experience with Limoo Photography was top notch. As a new mom you only want to trust the best and experienced professionals with your newborn and Maryam was absolutely a professional. She handled our newborn with grace and compassion. She directed the photo shoot really well, was very creative, and also took video to document the experience for us. We can't wait to see our photos! Would definitely use Limoo Photography again. read more

Our experience with Maryam for our newborn photoshoot was wonderful from start to finish! I was late in booking a photographer for our baby boy and was relieved when Maryam responded to my inquiry saying she could accommodate us within the usual timeframe for newborn photos. She gave us lots of tips and guidance beforehand, which we appreciated. The moment we stepped inside her studio, we felt "at home" - it was warm and inviting, and Maryam was friendly and welcoming from the get go. She was SO patient and it was really cool to see all the effort it takes wrapping up the babies and positioning them just right for the most amazing shots. We even ordered some of the gadgets she used during the shoot... can't imagine nap time without our shusher! :) Maryam is not only a talented photographer (the photos are gorgeous!!!) but it's obvious that she loves what she does and enjoys the process! Thank you, Maryam, for such a great and memorable experience!! read more

The best experience! We drove an hour to go to Limoo photography and it was definitely worth the drive. First of all, she's the baby whisperer. She was so gentle and sweet with our baby girl. She had really pretty set ups made for us and allowed us to help in making those decisions. I also brought some outfits I wanted to use and she found a way to incorporate them in. Definitely will go back for more photoshoots in the future and highly recommend her for all your photo needs! read more

Maryam and her assistant were very friendly and professional. The family had a great afternoon in the studio. The photos are great. Definitely recommended! read more

Maryam did our baby's 4.5 month milestone photoshoot several weeks ago. We love that she has a spacious studio with various baby's headbands, outfits, props with different blanket and mat colors. In the beginning of our session, we had our family and siblings pictures taken on the white bed and chair setups in the front of the main studio. Super convenient! She also has a small fridge with snacks for the older siblings when they get hungry and toys to occupy them when we needed to focus on baby and parents pictures. Maryam was patient not only with the baby but also with my 3 older kids during the photoshoot. She was also very accommodating to our baby's nap schedule. All in all, we had a good experience. We can't wait to see our final edited pictures! read more

We did our baby's one year cake smash photoshoot with Maryam and we had an amazing experience. I had to reschedule the photoshoot due to some family emergencies and Maryam was very accommodating and understanding. Before the photoshoot, she discussed with us exactly what we wanted in terms of the style and theme and we loved all the set ups she came up with. Maryam was very friendly and we enjoyed the whole process. My baby did not smile for the last photoshoot that we did with a different photographer so I was very worried. But she was able to make my baby smiled for the photos. We love all the photos and we are so glad we picked Limoo photography for the photoshoot. We highly recommend Maryam at Limoo photography. read more

This is our second time, taking newborn pictures with Maryum. Two years ago she took our daughter's newborn pictures and we absolutely love them, so it was only right to come back to her for our second baby's pictures! just like last time, Maryum did an exceptional job not only with our pictures but the entire photo session. She has the most patience with newborns and she really tries to get those newborn poses in! She's a true baby whisper! read more

I did milestone photos of my little one with Maryam and couldn't be happier. She had a variety of backdrops and colors to pick from to really make each photo unique. She is also amazing with little ones. She had my 3 month old smiling and giggling throughout his photos. I loved the experience and also fell in love with my photo gallery. Thank you so much Maryam, you're very talented and these are photos that our family will cherish. read more

We recently did our newborn photoshoot with Maryam and had a fantastic experience. Before we booked her she took the time to chat on the phone about style and process and was communicative leading up to the day of the shoot. She even provided outfit advice which was so helpful! Not only was she great with our newborn, she was also able to get our other two young kids to smile which is a feat. The entire process was very smooth and the sneak peek photos look amazing. And on top of her talents as a photographer, she's a delight to be around! We can't wait to see the final photos! read more

Limoo Photography - Session Photography Near Me - Santa Clara, California

I did my maternity photo shoot yesterday and I was very happy. She had many phone conversations with me about what vision I wanted to bring to life. She looked through over 30 pics I sent her and she studied all the material I sent. When I arrived at the location, she shared other ideas that were similar to my idea and we talked about what we wanted to do first. The studio is extremely clean and private, you will feel very safe getting naked there :) also she took a long time to take my photos and she wouldn't give up until we got the perfect shot. She was an incredible cheerleader during the entire time, making me feel very special. She also has a great assistant that helps with all the magical flowy shots that you want:) I can't recommend her highly enough. I look forward to working with her again! Thank you for making me feel so special!!! read more

It was so easy to work with Maryam at Limoo photography. She listened to our preferences and planned a great maternity and newborn photo shoot for us. The photos look absolutely wonderful. So glad we did this and we would definitely go with her again for our future photography needs read more

We did our newborn photoshoot with Maryam and we can't be more happy with the entire process and the result. Maryam welcomed our entire family into her studio for a super fun afternoon! The studio is just beautiful and it offers so many options for the photoshoot. Even our oldest daughter was fully entertained with games and snacks while we were there. The entire process was extremely professional and thoughtful. Maryam handled our newborn with extreme care and love. Maryam was able to take some amazing pictures of her and the entire family! The pictures that we got were just stunning. It was really tough to select the best ones. They are memories that we will keep forever. Without a doubt, we will reach out to Maryam and her team for our next photoshoot. Thank you Maryam and team! read more

We booked our daughter's milestone session with Maryam, and we couldn't have made a better choice. She envisioned exactly what I wanted for the shooting from the hues to the props, and the best part is that she provides everything you might need so you don't have to worry about a thing. She, in fact, provides everything from super cute outfits to adorable headbands, flowers, pumpkins, baskets, etc. The outfits are adorable and the only problem is that it's impossible to choose, but Maryam always knows what matches better the setup and I often asked for her advice. She prepared so many different setups, one more adorable than the other, from bed with lilac flowers, to an adorable basket with pumpkins and a tiny white bath surrounded by pink roses (is it even real?!). She is a wonderful photographer and human being. She has lots of experience with babies therefore she is extremely patient (she caught our daughter on one of her worst days, teething badly), but we still managed to have lots of fun and the right shots with smiley faces. Also a note about the studio is due because it's super clean with all the possible precautions to protect babies (there's even a sanitizing station for mobile phones!), and also very practical because there are different snacks for babies and a changing table in case you need it. I can't recommend Maryam and Limoo Photography enough, we had a blast and long-life memories captured in pictures that we will treasure forever. Thank you Maryam read more
