Reviews With Photos

Marisa is open to all ideas when we shoot together! She is very professional and keeps my family engaged in the photoshoot. We continue to go back to Marisa for all our photography needs because shes become a part of our family having been there to photograph all our important moments from engagement to our child's first birthday

Marisa has captured so many important memories for me, and I would never go anywhere else for photos. 10/10 recommend for EVERY occasion! My wedding, pregnancy, family photos, etc

Marisa is amazing! She did some family photos back in Nov 2020 and they turned out beautiful so I decided to contact her when I got engaged in Dec. My fiancé and I did our engagement shoot with Marisa a few weeks ago and the photos are gorgeous. Marisa was so helpful - I gave her our ideas of what we wanted and she gave us a few locations to check out. We went with one of her suggestions and couldn't be happier with the photos. She'll be shooting our small wedding next month and I am so excited to see those already. I loved working with Marisa so much that I suggested her to my best friend that is planning her 2022 wedding! Marisa is quick to respond, helpful in answering any questions, fun to be around at the shoots and overall a very talented photographer. I would recommend her to anyone!

Marisa not only made me feel comfortable during a pandemic by wearing a mask during a closed photo shoot - the directions she gave made me feel super comfortable taking my maternity photos and the end result spoke for itself . I am BEYOND happy with how they turned out and will be using her for sessions in the future . Thank you again Marisa for making me feel beautiful !!! I'll treasure these photos forever .

Great angles and got that happy moment

I am so thankful that we chose Marisa to help capture our special day! She is super talented and has such a unique eye for catching those great moments. She has a way of seeing things that is almost magical and absolutely stunning! She and her assistant truly went above and beyond expectations and beyond what we could've imagined! She really listened to everything I had wanted captured and made sure we were able to get each and every moment desired. She has such a warm and down to earth personality. Even before we met in person, I felt so comfortable talking with her like I had known her for much longer. When we were able to work together the day of, I didn't realize how important and what a relief that would be. It helped so much to calm any nerves or anxiety I had because I was so confident in her professionalism. She's so funny and has such great vibes and unparalleled talent! There's really no need to look for anyone else because she's the best!

Marisa is so sweet, talented, and a true pleasure to work with! We've done a couple of mini sessions with her and have been so happy. She's captured my kids so perfectly, and we're so glad to have precious photos to look back on for a lifetime!

Marisa is amazing! She did my engagement photos and wedding. She is so personable and I felt like I've known her my whole life. She is so quick to respond and pays attention to all the details of the event. Can't wait to work with her again.

Alejandra R.

Beautiful moments captured by Marisa. I am beyond thankful for all of the great pictures that she took and will go to her again if needed. I highly recommend her to anyone, you won't be disappointed.

We booked Marisa for our engagement shoot and we are so happy we did! Not only did our photos turn out amazing, but Marisa was insanely helpful through out the entire process. We initially were planning on going to Yosemite, but due to closure from the fires we had to make a plan B at the last minute. Marisa was on board for anything we wanted to do and helped us pick out a new location... not to mention she woke up super early for a sunrise shoot! We had such a blast and could not recommend her more!

Chassidy S.

First, let me state the fact that Marisa is AMAZING! We wanted to make sure we picked the very best photographer to take our engagement photos, with the intent of building a relationship and using that person for our wedding day. Marisa is that person!! In terms of planning our engagement session, Marisa helped us find the most perfect locations (exactly what we were envisioning). She was very communicative & responded quickly to my messages. She even gave me advice on which of my outfit choices would be best for each location. During our engagement session, we wanted our daughter to be in some of our photos, Marisa was great with our two-year old. During our session Marisa followed all COVID guidelines, which made us feel very safe. Marisa was also great at giving my partner & I tips to get more comfortable taking photos (we were super nervous). Overall, it was such a great experience & Marisa captured wonderful moments that we will keep forever. Our engagement photos came out beautifully (Thank you Marisa)! We are so excited to have her capture all our exciting & memorable moments on our Wedding Day next year. You should definitely book Marisa if you're looking for a wonderful & safe experience, an expert photographer & beautiful photos.

See all

Anna was very professional and our wedding photos came out even more beautiful than I could have…read moreimagined! 10/10 recommend!

Anna is very personable and clearly, talented in photography based on most of her portfolio…read more She was also very responsive and generous with her time with us. Her prices are very reasonable compared to industry averages (though I find the industry averages too expensive for the average person and I do regret spending as much money as we did). If I'm being completely honest though...and at the risk of sounding picky/unreasonable/mean (?...I really am not intending to be), we were not as content as some of her other customers. There were several shots that were just repetitive/the same shot with slight change in movement. There were several shots where some of the people in the photos had their face/body protruding...a simple nudge/tip to the people to tilt their head down/to lean slightly forward would've helped) There were several shots where some people were not looking at the camera (again, a simple nudge/tip to direct people to look at the camera would've helped). Maybe it's just that we are especially unphotogenic and needed more direction than even what Anna usually provides. I honestly hate 50% of the photos we were given back. Lastly, it seemed like we were a forgotten customer/second thought at times...there were things we had to ask for that were said to be included in Anna's services (I don't want to get into the details)...I do wonder if we hadn't asked, if they would've just been forgotten. (I feel like there's pressure to continue with the 5 star reviews given that that's all there's been, but I just can't).

Thank you Jin for such a wonderful experience. It's been a pleasure working with him as our wedding…read morephotographer. Jin is always responsive, flexible, open to new ideas and so patient!! As a bride, I can't emphasize how important it is to have a photographer who is willing to work YOUR way- location, specific shots, endless changes in schedule... And Jin did it all at a very reasonable pricing. Did I mention he worked really great with our dog too? ;) Look no further for a photographer- Jin is your guy!

We were lucky to find Jin via Stephen Hughes Photography for our wedding at Postino in Lafayette,…read moreCA in July 2016. Jin met with us at the venue a few weeks prior to scope it out and review our schedule, as well as discuss a photo plan. We got along with him great, as he is very warm, personable, and thoughtful. During the wedding, he worked behind the scenes and his presence was barely noticed. Jin must have had a tremendous challenge taking some of these photographs, because our adorable, albeit uncooperative one-year-old was crying throughout the ceremony and afterward. Yet somehow we still ended up with hundreds of beautiful photos from Jin, including of our tearstained doll. He sent them in groups. I think we got the first ten within about a week, then maybe 60 within a month, and the rest within 3 months. Before the wedding, we told Jin we thought we didn't need a million photos, just of the main events and a few planned ones, but he correctly pointed out that your own wedding day ends up being kind of a blur to you until you see photographs of it, and it's good to take as many as possible throughout and also to think about and plan which posed photos you want to take. He ended up capturing so many beautiful moments that we will now remember forever, and I'm glad we trusted his experience. We might have otherwise sent him home early and missed so many stunning photos and great memories. I would recommend Jin's photography highly, and I'm glad to serve as a reference!

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!!!

My family and I love Kree photography. I did my graduation photoshoot with Kree and it was the…read moresmoothest experience of my life! She's so sweet and knows exactly what to do and how to tell you how to do it. If I need more photos for anything I would come to her!

He put in so much effort to get our family laughing and captured so many genuine, candid moments. He kept the energy up for over three hours, even when we were all starting to get a little tired, and somehow continued finding creative ways to get great shots. One of our favorite surprises was that he took us to Lombard Street afterward and captured some incredible bonus photos that we weren't even expecting. They ended up being some of our favorite pictures from the day! We're so grateful for how much care, enthusiasm, and creativity he brought to our wedding. The photos are beautiful, but what really stood out was how much effort he put into making the experience itself fun and memorable. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer who truly goes the extra mile.

She cares about what you want and provided a long list of locations for us to choose. We chose Elizabeth Gamble Garden in Palo Alto, because I like the garden theme. I was not disappointed, there were still flowers blooming there in November. Even though there were a lot of people also doing photoshoot that day, Jenny was somehow able to avoid the crowd and didn't waste any time. She took tons of pictures within the 45 mins or so session. I like how she told us how to pose because otherwise we wouldn't know what to do and look awkward. She was quick in editing the photos and we were very pleased to see them so soon and I was able to print them right before my baby shower to show them to family and friends. For the newborn session, Jenny was on time, very gentle and patient with the baby while handling and changing her. My baby was awake most of the session but she didn't make a fuss at all. Because it was January, Jenny made sure to keep the baby warm and even bought her own portable heater. If you are looking for a great photographer that is both talented and easy to work with, Jenny is your choice!

Couldn't be more grateful for Jenny beautifully capturing such a special moment in our lives!
