Krista is awesome and this review is long overdue. My team has taken work headshots and team photos…read moreseveral times over the years. We have used over the top production like photographers who provide hair and makeup that equates to exorbitant pricing and also other people who basically told us they can deliver the moon and stars and then the final products fell totally flat. We had very bad pictures taken by another photographer and soon after, I stumbled upon Krista from Maylight Studio on Yelp. I hesitated for a second because we didn't really want to spend more money to redo photos when we just paid another photography company and have the whole inconvenience of everyone getting ready again, having to all be in the office at the same time, etc. but in my gut, I felt like we needed to. Let me tell you...Krista delivered!! We are a pretty particular bunch and Krista took many photos and was able to provide each of us (8 in total) with a headshot we all liked. She also worked with our office setting and provided us with a great group photo, utilizing a piece of art already in our office as the backdrop. She's extremely professional, adaptable, and has a good eye for detail. I would without hesitation recommend her for your headshot and group photo needs. Currently nagging my husband to retake photos and hire Krista as well!

Very much pleased with my experience with Krista at Maylight Studio…read more I took on a new role at a new company and they needed headshots for a bio intrudction to the company. Krista was very responsive via email and was able to get me scheduled the next morning, with final edits to me a day later after my appointment. Headshots came out absolutely stunning and I couldn't be anymore happier. Thank you again Krista!

She was so fun and personable during our shoot and Kabra, whom she works with for hair/makeup did an amazing job making me look like the best version of myself.

She is incredibly sweet, professional, and easy to work with. The City Hall photos especially blew us away. They look like they belong in a magazine, with thoughtful composition and natural elegance. Even our friends and family were raving about how beautiful they turned out. What stood out most was how much Jayme cares. She went above and beyond to make sure important moments were captured. Afterward, she was prompt about getting photos to us and she was very responsive to feedback to make sure we were happy. Her flexibility and openness really impressed us. If you're considering her for your wedding or event: - She has a good eye for candid, emotional moments. - She's collaborative, open to feedback, and genuinely wants to deliver photos you'll treasure. - Her work shows a level of artistry beyond her years of experience. We'll cherish these photos forever, and we're so grateful to Jayme for capturing our day so beautifully. Highly recommend!

Natalie was fantastic right from our initial contact. Before the session, she thoughtfully went over the various styles I was hoping to achieve, and the wardrobe choices available are truly incredible. During the session, she was incredibly patient with both me, my husband and my dog and guided us through poses so naturally. I received the raw photos right after the shoot and was genuinely amazed; she made my family look absolutely fantastic! The photoshoot was exactly what I had imagined, and even surpassed my expectations. Natalie is not only an incredibly talented photographer, but also such a wonderful person to work with. Her studio has a beautiful and extensive wardrobe collection. Last but definitely not least, the hair and makeup artists were amazing as well. I highly recommend getting your hair and makeup done at the studio. I looked better at this photoshoot than I did at my wedding . The entire experience was absolutely worth the three-hour drive, and I would highly recommend Natalie and her team!

She said don't worry about stretch marks/imperfections, they can be fixed From our very first conversation, to shooting, and post communication, Natalie has been very kind, quick to respond, helpful, and professional. Her wardrobe was fantastic! The day of the shoot was worry free! Inna did my makeup and hair. I had some concerns about my belly not being so round, my seemingly always frizzy hair, and my eyes that notoriously smudge with too much makeup, but both women were angels at reassuring me. I felt so comfortable and happy working with them. They know how to boost confidence! I felt cared for, heard, and welcome I had an amazing experience. Her talent behind the camera is truly a gift

We had Christine photograph our family when our son was 6 months old and she was awesome!…read more Christine helped us brainstorm in advance where to go take the photos and when the weather turned out foggy that day (as it often does in SF), she gave us her expert advice on where we could go to have the best lighting and effect. To prepare for the photo session, I sent her some inspiration photos of ideas I liked and she was not only really receptive, but engaged with me in figuring out what would look best, and made sure to capture certain poses I wanted during the photo session. The photo session itself was a lot of fun -- Christine has a great energy about her -- she's relaxed, positive, creative, and just has a way of making you feel comfortable, which is so important to taking great photos! The whole experience from beginning to end was wonderful and we are so happy with the photos! They will be a keepsake for our family for years to come. If you are looking for a lifestyle, family, newborn, or maternity photographer, I would recommend Christine in a heartbeat!

Christine took the time to scout the perfect outdoor location; I had a woodsy background in mind and she was able to find a gorgeous secluded area with tall trees and a bubbling river. Working in front of the camera with her is easy- she is attentive to details and is able to capture both the intimate and also candid moments. She was even willing to let us bring a few outfit changes! I cannot say enough positive words about Christine, she is such a gifted photographer. Book her today, you won't regret it!

I'm very disappointed with my experience. We wanted to book a newborn photoshoot for our baby boy,…read moreand I explained to the photographer why I couldn't make either of the two time slots she offered. I had just gone through a C-section, a major surgery, and was still recovering, waiting for the severe swelling in my feet to go down so I could comfortably attend the photoshoot. I tried to explain my situation and hoped for a little understanding and compassion during such a vulnerable time in my life. Unfortunately, the response I received felt incredibly cold and dismissive: "I returned your deposit, and I can't take you in any of the slots." I understand that photographers have schedules and professional boundaries, and I wasn't expecting her to rearrange her entire business around me. However, the lack of empathy and the way the situation was handled were deeply upsetting. A newborn photoshoot is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and it was heartbreaking to feel that my circumstances and recovery were met with such indifference. I'm not disappointed simply because the photoshoot didn't happen. I'm disappointed by the way a new mother recovering from major surgery was treated when she was asking for understanding. Professionalism matters, but so does compassion.
