There's something truly special about someone who doesn't just take photos but actually creates a space where you can relax, be yourself, and feel confident in front of the camera and that's exactly what she did. Her energy is calm, warm, and deeply encouraging. She pays attention to the smallest details. . .how the light falls, how comfortable you are, how natural the moment feels and somehow turn all of that into images that are even more beautiful than you imagined. During the shoot, she guided me gently when I needed direction, but also stepped back and let the moments unfold when she saw something genuine happening. I never felt rushed or self-conscious. Instead, I felt grounded, appreciated, and connected to the moment, to myself, and to the creative process. The photos. . .honestly, I was stunned. They captured not just the moment but something soft, confident, and real. Every image had this intimate, almost cinematic quality that I've never seen in my photos before. Friends have already asked who the photographer was because they were blown away. everyone who i have referred her too, loved her as much as i do. On top of the incredible talent, the professionalism was flawless: quick communication, thoughtful prep, punctuality, and a beautifully organized gallery delivered right on time. If you're looking for a photographer who brings artistry, intention, kindness, and a genuine ability to capture the essence of who you are, Jessie is someone you absolutely need to work with. I'm truly grateful for the experience and cannot wait to see her again.

We love working with Brandi!…read more I met Brandi working at the same wedding as her. I was beyond impressed by her skills and professionalism. What really got my attention was how good she was at making people comfortable, and paying attention to the small details. As a photographer myself, it was very important for me to find the right fit for our wedding. She was so flexible and accommodating to all of our requests. My family traveled from different parts of the world (mostly South America), and she made sure everyone felt included and welcomed. I love having candid beautiful memories from all my loved ones. We've done multiple photoshoots with her since then, and the images are always outstanding. Brandi's also not only an excellent photographer, but she was so generous and fun to be around. She's so caring, patient and warm, which really helped to get our son to have fun too.

As 2 people who don't particularly enjoy being the center of attention or doing photo shoots, we can't commend Brandi enough for making us comfortable. She's very sweet and pleasant to be around. She gave us instructions when needed and was able to fade into the background so we didn't feel uncomfortable when needed as well. We had a few particular things we wanted her to capture and she listened and nailed it. She's a true artist and a lovely person. We're so grateful she was part of such important days for us. -Hannah + Ashley

With the Covid pandemic she added that extra icing on the cake for us. She captured memories that will last forever. Our maternity pictures were captured outdoors and Nicole found such a beautiful space for us. The maternity photo shoot was so breath taking. We received so many nice compliments from family and friends. Our newborn pictures, breathtaking! The props and the space, the gentle touches and the details had me in aww! I fell in love again. We did all the traditional baby pictures, a full family session, a siblings session with the baby and a super fun photo shoot! Super Mario, Princess Peach and baby Luigi theme! This was so much fun.

Michele was recommended to me and my wife about a year ago right after our engagement. The…read morerecommendation came from very close friends that were also using her as their wedding photographer. After looking at her website we were very impressed and first met Michele at a local coffee shop to get a feel of each other. After just a few minutes of conversing with her, we knew that Michele was the right wedding photographer for us. She made us feel incredibly comfortable by presenting herself as a professional who has a strong passion for photography. However, what we found even most impressive was that she asked us numerous questions about what we wanted out of our wedding photos instead of merely telling us about her work. Then to top it off, we were incredibly impressed by what we saw on her website and found her rates to be more than reasonable for the product offered. We next met Michele a few month later to shoot our engagement photos on the Santa Monica Pier. The photo's were posted a website about a week later and a CD was mailed to our home. We were so happy with how they turned that we framed many and now have them hanging in our home. Finally, on the day of our wedding Michele and her assistant, Luke were incredible! We love our wedding photos and have even had our married friends tell us that they wish they would have used Michele as their wedding photographer. We will be looking back on our wedding decades from now and smiling. Thanks, Michele.

My husband had worked just a few weddings with Elizabeth, but remembered her/made a mental note for the future. After the initial inquiry, she sent a sweet video message to us, which immediately shows the level of service and care you're going to get. We went ahead with booking both an engagement shoot and the wedding service. For the engagement photos, Elizabeth helped us narrow down a location based on her extensive experience (we selected a place in Ojai). I was a little nervous, as we're not the most natural in front of the camera, but she was great at directing/posing us when needed and put us at ease. It was also a great way to connect before the wedding day. Leading up to the wedding, she had thorough questionnaires/discussions to make sure she understood what shots were important to us and how to best accommodate them. Shoutout to Bryan, her second shooter for the day, for also being wonderful to work with. Be prepared to have a "difficult" time when selecting your photos as there will be many to choose from! For both sessions, she scheduled time in person for us to review and select the photos we liked and for the printed books we got. All the photos were easily accessible after via a personalized website too.
