Immediately after seeing Michelle's work (for the very first time ever) here on Yelp!, we knew without a doubt that she would tell our story in the best way possible. Communicating with Michelle was effortless - she makes herself accessible (email/call/text whenever), responds lightning fast, gives great recommendations, and is frankly just a pleasant person to talk to. This connection was so important for us as we were extremely nervous about being in front of a camera. She made us feel like our authentic selves and we ended up having the best time during our engagement shoot! The big day came and she could not have been more amazing to us and our guests. Her photojournalism style for documenting our wedding night resulted in pictures you can FEEL. We are so grateful to have these memories told through her eyes. For the best in the business, do not look any further. Michelle is the real deal and we absolutely trust her to capture more of life's milestones!

I just want to start by saying, the absolute BEST decision my now husband and I made during our…read moreentire wedding planning process.. was hiring Michelle to be our photographer! Every photo is gorgeous and will be our most treasured gifts for the rest of our lives. On top of this, Michelle is just an absolute JOY to work with! She made the entire process easy and stress free, even though we were living and planning from across the country. Our engagement shoot was a blast (we were for real laughing in almost every photo!) and our wedding day was the same! She is professional, always quick to get back to us via email/text, and we sincerely appreciated her keeping us in the loop with updates on the delivery of our final photos. Michelle is forever our girl for any and all professional photography!

Emily was amazing to work with. She took our generational family pictures. She did such a great job…read moreworking with ages 97 years- 20 months old. She was patient with our kids and knew how to get them to look at the camera. She took a variety of different groupings of people since there were 11 people. All of our photos turned out beautiful. They are by far my favorite family photos we have gotten done. Emily is also amazing with communication and got us our photos back quickly. I highly recommend her.

Where do I even begin?! Emily and her team have far exceeded my expectations of what a photography…read moreand videography service should be! Emily has gone above and beyond to capture the special moments of my now husband and I. I remember the first moment when I spoke with her, and from that one phone conversation, I knew that she and I would not only share the same vision for photography (how I would like my pictures to be captured and how she captures photographs), but also become friends!! our first phone conversation was about four months prior to the wedding, and I had not done anything to plan for it! I am a busy resident physician, and I also wanted to plan my own wedding, but I didn't know where to start! So on that day, in between me seeing patients, Emily and I had a really brief phone conversation, where she said three simple words, "I got you!" Since that fateful day, she has not given us a dream engagement photo shoot (at the very beach in which my husband, and I fell in love with in Malibu, the El Matador state Beach!) but also our very special moments on our special wedding day! In the middle of me getting pulled in different directions even on that wedding day... the minute she walked in with her team, I felt sense of calm and comfort, knowing that she was there to make sure that even though I couldn't remember everything that was happening that day because it was so busy, I trusted that she would be able to make sure I could remember those details later on in photographs! Aside from her warm heart and truly genuine personality, her work is fantastic! My husband and I have a very particular vision and preference for the type of photographs that we would like, and she fits that and more! If you look through her portfolio on her website or on her Instagram, you can see the brightness that she exuberance in her own personality onto her art. The way she captures the light is so unique, and she truly is the most talented photographer that I've ever come across. Therefore, I follow my gut and knew that she is the best of the best! I cannot wait until she continues to capture more delicate moments of our lives as I hope to continue to get to know her as well personally because she truly is one of the most special people on this universe!

Stephanie was recommended to me by another photographer for newborn photography. From booking, the…read morephoto shoot, and the delivery of the photos, it has been a great experience. As a new mom I was very hesitant and nervous about doing a photo shoot with a newborn. I was afraid our newborn was not going to be having it the day of and/or be fuzzy the time she was there. I also questioned myself how I was going to calm her down so the photographer (Stephanie) could do her magic. Well let me tell you all those feelings went out the door when I handed our Babygirl to Stephanie and she began. I cannot begin to express how well she works with newborns. The whole photo shoot was such a relaxing experience for dad and I. I highly recommend Stephanie . Very professional, great communication and patient.

We have so many incredible options to choose from, I simply gave up trying to narrow them down further. She knew exactly all the style shots and location to make this day absolutely perfect. As someone who has always been a bit aphrenrsive on getting photographed in my pregnant condition and then always been a bit of "eh, we can take these photos ourselves" type of person, I couldn't be more thrilled with this investment and how wonderful it was working with her. We can't wait to see her again when our baby is born!

My husband and I opted for the engagement photo shoot and having 2 photographers for 6 hours at the actual wedding. For the engagement photos, my husband wanted a rustic field look...we gave Blendi a google pin drop location, and she had went a few days before to scope out the land and figure out the best photo spaces. The day of the engagement photo shoot, she was on time, professional, and fun. I absolutely hate taking pictures but with her, she made it feel so relaxing. The end result was beautiful. She sent us a booklet of pictures and a USB drive of all the originals (touched up). For the wedding, Blendi and Laurent (sp?) were amazing. I just received my photos back and they were able to make magic. I had some issues with my family members and Blendi was willing to play "bad guy" in order to get the shots that I wanted. She was super creative and had an eye for a perfect shot. Most of the time, I didn't even know she was there...but regardless, there were beautiful shots. She was able to get amazing shots with the short amount of daylight we had. She was tactful and professional. We received our flash drive 3 weeks after the wedding and I am so happy with the result. It truly was a blast working with her for the engagement and wedding.

And has great work for you to have as a keepsake whether it's candids of you chasing your little or graduation to wedding pictures? Then mari is your girl! I've been going to her since Mother's Day 2019 and she's captured all my eldest firsts from our Mother's Day to birthday to Christmas! Her work shows how much she tries to capture you and your little in the moment! She takes her time to get to know you, your life, and to become a friend! She is so patient with Miguel and knows how to capture him in the moment (I have yet found a photographer who can capture Miguel laughing or smiling in a photo like she has). Personally my experience with mari has been nothing but phenomenal! She keeps in touch and sends me updates about my sessions. I've always came back to her even when there's other photographers in Ventura asking when I'd book with them. (Usually try others once just because of friendship but always find myself booking again with mari consistently) her work has improved over the years, her editing style is something I always loved and obsessed over. Her work isn't just meant to be shown on Instagram but printed and frame to be placed above the fireplace or wall for everyone to see! I have so many printed photos up on our wall that was taken by her! I highly recommend mari to anyone that wants photos done because these are memories you'll want later and will never regret! Can't wait to be back in California to book a family session that now includes a new little and a dad! You literally get what you pay for, if not more.

As a mom I work hard to get my family outfitted, and ready for a shoot and for her to take my $220 hard earned money for a fall photoshoot and not deliver what I paid for is unacceptable. I've texted her numerous times, called, and left a lengthy final written message. PLEASE DO NOT BOOK with this lady. You will be disappointed. I can't believe I got scammed
