She made the whole experience feel effortless and fun and was so good with my little one. You can tell she really puts care into the process from start to finish. Although I didn't end up using clothes from her client closet, it was great to have the option and we appreciated all of Khushboo's expertise on color palettes and what would work best with the setting. We are so pleased with our photos and will treasure these moments forever!

I am not someone who enjoys getting her pictures taken, let alone planning a photoshoot weeks in…read moreadvance! Going into my maternity photoshoot, I had exactly one goal: get some nice pictures taken at a convenient location, in an outfit I wouldn't have to work too hard to put together. After going through dozens of photographer profiles on Yelp and feeling thoroughly overwhelmed, I stumbled upon the reviews for Khushboo at Shutter Magic. Almost EVERY review mentioned how Khushboo made people feel comfortable and relaxed before and during their photoshoots. That was all I needed to hear. I was sold! And what an incredible experience it has been, right from Day 1! First, Khushboo has the dreamiest collection of maternity outfits. She encouraged me to try styles I would never have picked for myself, and patiently let me try on different options until I found the ones I loved. She also connected me with makeup and nail artists and even helped my partner choose his outfit. She genuinely took so much of the planning off my plate! Then came the location. I had a very specific kind of setting in mind, and Khushboo went above and beyond to find it. Not only did she scout locations that matched what I was looking for, she also visited new spots and managed to find places with beautiful flowers. In the FALL. In the BAY AREA!! I still don't know how she pulled that off! A couple of hours before the shoot, she was already checking in on me, reminding me to rest and hydrate, cheering me on as I got my makeup done, and generally getting me excited for something I had initially been quite nervous about. And during the photoshoot itself? She was everything those Yelp reviews had promised and more. She made both my partner and me feel completely at ease, never rushed us, and somehow managed to capture us exactly as we are. The resulting photographs were more magical than anything we could have imagined! I went into this experience wanting a few nice maternity pictures with minimal fuss. I walked away with beautiful memories, photographs I'll treasure forever, and a newfound appreciation for what a wonderful photographer can bring to the experience. I cannot recommend Khushboo enough! I'm already hoping to have her photograph our family for years to come.

He was so kind, friendly, professional and all the great things you want in a photographer capturing your special moments. I believe he finalized edits and sends within 3-4 weeks and I can't wait to see. Bonus was that he sent over more than 10 sneak-peaks within 24 hours!!! This was so awesome and we were able to use right away to announce our marriage. All in all, so impressed with Justin.

The photos made me appreciate the venues in ways I had not thought of. Justin was able to turn around two photographers' and 10 hours worth of photos in 2 weeks. We were very impressed! Justin has a way of making people feel comfortable. That was true of my husband and me, as well as our wedding parties and families. The end result was amazing photos that we love, and our friends and family have told us look great. We are so happy we got to work with Justin and his team!
