I was looking for a photographer in the Brentwood area as a graduation gift for my niece. She was…read moregraduating high school, and I wanted to make this moment extra special for her. 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!

I'm so happy I found Justin!!! We hired him to capture our intimate elopement ceremony and we were…read moreover the moon with him. He was responsive, easy/straightforward to work with, made us feel comfortable during the shoot and was very personable. I really appreciate his easy going personality and he made us feel comfortable during photos and gave us really good poses/pointers. I loved that he would show us little snippets during the shoot to show us how the photos were turning out as well. He was so kind, friendly, professional and all the great things you want in a photographer capturing your special moments. I believe he finalized edits and sends within 3-4 weeks and I can't wait to see. Bonus was that he sent over more than 10 sneak-peaks within 24 hours!!! This was so awesome and we were able to use right away to announce our marriage. All in all, so impressed with Justin. He's a gem and I'm looking forward to continue using him for our future shoots!!

My husband greatly appreciated Justin's recommendations for photo ideas. For our wedding, Justin and his second photographer were nothing short of amazing. Justin was able to use the venues spaces very creatively and effectively--I was very impressed with Justin's ability to stage us and our family and wedding party without having seen the venues before. The photos made me appreciate the venues in ways I had not thought of. Justin was able to turn around two photographers' and 10 hours worth of photos in 2 weeks. We were very impressed! Justin has a way of making people feel comfortable. That was true of my husband and me, as well as our wedding parties and families. The end result was amazing photos that we love, and our friends and family have told us look great. We are so happy we got to work with Justin and his team!

Besides the fact that her pictures are beautifully done, she is is also very easy to work with. She really cares about your vision and what you're looking to capture from your shoot. My first meeting with her went better than I could have imagined. I was comforted that she had lots of experience dealing with large wedding parties (we have 18 bridesmaids/groomsman, three flower girls and one ring bearerl!) which was a huge concern of mine. One of the pieces of my package was a boudoir shoot for my soon-to-be hubby. I was SO nervous as I am not a model, nor used to "posing" for the camera, but she made me feel so so comfortable and I LOVED the way the pictures turned out. I never knew I could look and feel so beautiful! Because of that...I had to write my review early, even thought I'm sure I'll have lots more amazing things to say about her after the wedding. I am so grateful to have trusted in her for my big day! I don't have a worry in the world! :)

Angela took our kids Photos for 2012 Holidays and at first we didn't know what to expect from our boys since we attempted several times having them try getting pictures taken at The Picture People and all horrible experiences.... Angela re assured that the boys would do fine and she had tons of props to make it fun for them. Our Session lasted :30min and was in a perfect setting!!!! Boys loved her!!!!! Few Weeks later we received a sneak peek then the final photos arrived in the mail, packaged in a very cute way!!! She did an amazing job freezing our memories!!!! If you are looking for someone to capture your memories - Call Angela!!!!

If you are looking for an AMAZING family photographer, look no further. I've worked with several…read moreprofessional photographers over the years (maternity, engagement, wedding), so I know quality when I see it. Xinlei is truly one of the best I've ever worked with. I've already recommended her to several friends--and will continue to do so. I reached out to Xinlei in a bit of a panic, hoping to capture newborn photos at home. Thankfully, she was available and offered a wonderful "Watch Me Grow" package that included sessions at newborn (added fee), 6 months, and 12 months. I really wanted newborn photos in our home so we could include our two dogs and remember this special chapter--bringing our baby home to our San Francisco house. Like any new mom, I was overwhelmed. The day of the shoot was pure chaos--baby had a blowout, peed on the bed, skipped her nap, and I wasn't fully ready when Xinlei arrived. But Xinlei was so calm, patient, and reassuring. She made us feel completely at ease, even when everything felt messy. I genuinely thought there was no way we got any good photos from that session. But when the gallery came back, I was blown away. The photos were stunning. They beautifully captured our new family--full of warmth and love. You'd never guess how hectic that day really was. The 6- and 12-month shoots were just as smooth. Xinlei was consistently kind, creative, and patient--and the photos were incredible every time. I've received so many compliments, and I can't wait to work with her again. If you're even thinking about booking her, do it. You won't regret it! Also her pricing is very reasonable!!

As a new mom, who delivered 5 weeks early, I was disappointed not to have had a chance for a maternity shoot and overwhelmed trying to research accommodating photographers whose work I loved. After 3 months with a preemie we were finally ready and Xinlei was recommended by a close friend. She was amazing!! We selected her "Watch Me Grow" package that included sessions at newborn (she allowed us to do this at 3 months), 6 months, and 12 months. I really wanted my daughter's photos in our home so we could include our puppy and the brand new home we had just moved into. On zero sleep, still struggling to "feel like myself", realizing I had only selected outfits for the baby, and forgetting to eat... Xinlei was exactly who we needed. She came with bringing baked goods from Paris Baguette for my husband and I (hangry husband would not make for a good shoot! Haha), loved on our attention-starved puppy, and was so patient when our daughter feel asleep / had to take a milk break in the middle of the shoot. We laughed the whole time, got to know each other, and all felt so at ease! She even included my mother who was visiting in a few photos - something so special to us. The gallery (for all our sessions) blew us away. The photos were beautiful, captured our growing little family... and she even included a few fun blooper pictures (a given with a newborn, 6m, or 1 yr old) for laughs! We also looked forward to our sessions. Xinlei is so thoughtful, patient, and deliver beautiful quality work. I would highly recommend!!

Just to be clear, I'm writing this review on behalf of my sister. She used Francesca for her…read morewedding 2 months ago. Why would someone write a review for another person? Cause my sister doesn't use yelp and a review HAD TO DONE! Read on and you'll know why! My sister was very indecisive about almost every part of her wedding planning. She found multiple photographers on Instagram and would send me links to see if I liked them. So in all honesty, I picked Francesca to be the photographer for my sister's wedding. She did a package with: the engagement shoot, wedding, and post wedding photos. So many pictures, I know! A girl needs variety ;). Francesca willingly worked with the most difficult schedules THREE TIMES! She brought a stress-free vibe, made you feel beautiful, and captured some of the best moments/angles. She was prompt and timely but would not make you feel rushed when taking pictures. She drove in traffic on multiple occasions and still arrived before you...every time! She checks in with you to make sure you're on the same page. She listens to your photo insecurities and makes them invisible!! She makes location suggestions and she knows her places! You want a beautiful forrest scene? She knows where! You want a beach scene with a magical sunset?! She'll meet you there! You want to capture the elegance of a wedding venue?? She has all the angles and perfect lighting! She is AMAZING! She takes the time to know you! She even sent the usb with the pictures in a personalized gift. Do other photographers do that? Unfortunately not. So if you're thinking about booking a wedding photographer, look no further! Francesca is your girl! **Disclaimer. (Remembering that this review is on behalf of my sister) I wasn't even as impressed with my own wedding photographer. Womp womp.

All my folks felt very at ease and the pictures speak for themselves. If I could, I would give Melissa an extra star for going the extra mile with helping us narrow down our wardrobe choices.

First, I want to say that Melissa is very kind and makes the experience comfortable, even if you're…read morenervous or shy in front of the camera. She's warm, welcoming, and easy to work with. I received around 80 edited proofs to choose from, and there were plenty of great options for my final selections. She also offers a wardrobe with beautiful dresses, as well as some clothing options for men. The location suggestions she provided were excellent, and she did a great job capturing the style and vibe I had in mind. That said, I do feel the need to mention some concerns about professionalism and turnaround time. Her contract states that proofs will be delivered within 2-4 weeks. While 4 weeks already feels a bit long, I was patient and checked in about once a week for updates. When the 4-week mark passed without receiving anything, I was disappointed. I ended up receiving the proofs after 4 weeks and 3 days. I reviewed and returned my selections the same day, but her contract didn't specify a timeline for final edits, so I wasn't sure what to expect. The final images were delivered 15 days later. When I received them, it seemed like the only changes made were removing the watermarks. Some photos still had bags and other items in the background, even though she had mentioned those would be edited out. Communication was also inconsistent. There were times when my messages were read but not answered, and at one point--about two weeks after the shoot--she indicated she hadn't started editing yet. It left me feeling like my time and excitement weren't fully considered. By the time I received my maternity photos, my baby was already three weeks old, and I had already shared photos of her arrival, despite scheduling the shoot at 34 weeks as recommended. Would I recommend Melissa? Yes, but with some expectations in mind. Her pricing is fair, and you do receive a large number of photos. However, turnaround time may be slower than expected, and communication can feel a bit casual at times. (She did provide 5 additional images to make up for the delay in delivering the proofs.) I had originally intended to do a new born shoot with her as well but I was waiting for my maternity photos to make sure I really liked them and unfortunately by the time I received them my baby was outside the 7-14 day old window she wants for newborns. Between that and the turn around time I decided against it.
