Our photoshoot took about four hours, and we absolutely love every single photo she captured of our family. The images are beautiful, natural, and capture our children in such a sweet and authentic way. It was so hard to choose a favorite, but we loved one of the photos of our two kids so much that we ordered a wall print for our home! What really stood out to us was how incredibly patient and gentle Heather was throughout the entire four-hour session. Our baby girl woke up a few hours into the shoot, and Heather was so patient and caring. She took the time to gently coax her back to sleep so we could complete the photoshoot and capture all of the beautiful images we had hoped for. Her patience, care, and dedication made such a difference and made the entire experience feel relaxed and comfortable. Heather was wonderful to work with from start to finish, and we are so grateful to have these beautiful memories captured so beautifully. We will treasure these photos for years to come and would absolutely recommend Heather to anyone looking for a talented, thoughtful, and incredibly gifted photographer. Thank you, Heather, for giving us photos we will cherish forever!

She spoke to me over the phone when I was researching photographers and also communicated quickly over text. As a first-time mom, I was concerned that my son would be non-stop crying during the session. Heather was extremely patient with us and our baby. We had to stop several times for feeding and changing diapers, and Heather was so kind and gentle with our newborn. She never rushed us and the session flowed based on my son's needs, which I truly appreciated. The photos turned out so beautiful, and all our family members love them! I am so happy with how many different looks she put our son in, and I can't choose a favorite photo! The quality of the photos is AMAZING; better than all other professional photos I've ever taken. We will surely come back for more photos when our family grows!

Keith was easy to coordinate with ahead of time and always extremely responsive, which made the planning process smooth. Our photographer Robin was excellent. He helped us schedule the day to make the most of our time while still being mindful of the flow. We had a few special requests, like a photoshoot with our dog Bowie on the Embarcadero, and he made it all happen seamlessly. He also planned ahead to capture us at sunset overlooking the Bay Bridge, which turned into one of our favorite shots. We originally chose Robin for his incredible candid photography (since we're not naturals at posing), and we are so glad we did! Even our guests commented on how many wonderful candids he captured. At the same time, he guided us through posed photos when needed and brought a creative vision that went far beyond the basics we had in mind. It's also clear that Robin truly loves what he does - his enthusiasm made the experience even more enjoyable. On top of everything, he delivered our photos back to us in just one week, which is unheard of and so greatly appreciated. It was a lot of fun working with Robin - he was easygoing, professional, and stuck with us through a long day with such positive energy. We would absolutely recommend him and Lynds Photo & Video to anyone looking for wedding photography.

I attempted to leave voicemails and most recently reached out to him via text. I'm no longer getting any sort of replies from Adam. His services may be good but I can't say I've tried him out yet. As far as communication goes there seems like there could definitely be some room for improvement.

This was our second year doing a family photo shoot with Amy. Her photos are pure magic. She is…read moresomehow able to get amazing shots of two insane toddlers with no attention span whatsoever who can't seem to sit still at all during a shoot. She is able to put them at ease and draw out lots of laughs, and is so easygoing and kind. She makes the shoot experience much less stressful. It's clear that she really knows the sites she picks very well. Both times, she knew exactly when and where to stand for the best light and shadows and the most beautiful settings. She is so good at capturing truly magical shots where the light is hitting everybody's faces just perfectly-- they look like they belong in editorials in magazines. She does a really lovely mix of both posed and more candid shots. And, if it matters to you, she doesn't use AI to edit her photos. This is all her own skill. Last year, when we sent out our holiday cards using Amy's photos of our family, so many friends and family were floored by how lovely the photography was. Her work really is a cut above. I cannot recommend her enough!

Amy also has an eye for all the small details that matter - where to place hands, positioning each individual, making sure clothing and hair is right, etc. I was so impressed! The turnaround time for the pics was fast and we are so happy with how they turned out. Amy is an EXPERT in capturing natural lighting. The lighting in our photos is stunning!!

Needless to say, I was in shambles and when I reached out to Mirthica, I half expected her to tell me it was too last minute. Fortunately, she not only listened to our story with empathy and sharing her own story, she also made the whole process super easy and fun. She was communicative the entire time up until the shoot. She had given me her advice on the outfits that both Chewie and I were picking out. She worked with me to change the times (since it was the heatwave and there's no way we coulda survived taken pics in the afternoon). During the shoot, she taught us how to pose, was gentle with Chewie, was very patient, was super fun/easy to get along with, and did everything in her power to get us the best pics (we broke a few rules here and there lol). After the shoot, she sent me a couple of sneak peeks which was so nice! I just got my pics back this afternoon and we are literally gushing over them with our families.
