I can honestly say he is the ONLY person I would trust for professional photos of my cleaning business and of my family. All of his equipment looked very state of the art and professional, he always arrives exactly on time and is able to set up his equipment quickly and get started. Aside from his photography work, his warm and enthusiastic personality helps you feel comfortable, confident and picture-ready! I'm so glad I met Maher and I recommend him to everyone I know!

We were hoping to get photos done before our son's 1st birthday and she was able to provide us with a great date/time option. We really lucked out. On the day of our shoot we couldn't have asked for a better experience. The drive to the studio was beautiful and worth it - we drove from over 30 minutes away. The studio was immaculate and ready to go for our time together. Her prep email was extremely detail oriented and let us know exactly what to expect. Once there we could easily see the setups and there was a perfect place for us to finish getting ready. Even though we brought most of our outfits she also offered an additional one for us to use and it photographed so lovely. Lastly, the cake smash session was literally the icing on the cake. She has a wonderful referral that made the most beautiful cake for us. Our custom banner was EXACTLY what we were looking for in terms of colors and vibe. She got our son to warm up, have fun, and capture his personality. Melissa's patience, professionalism, strong communication via email/text, and warmth was much appreciated as first time parents for our first shoot. We look forward to working with her again in the future!

Cate was great for our wedding! She understood what my spouse and I were talking about when we told…read moreher about being a queer and polyamorous couple, and that our wedding wasn't going to have a lot of the traditional elements (like a ceremony, first look, first dance, wedding attendants, cake-cutting, etc.) - it was a relief to get to describe what we wanted to a vendor who was part of the community and familiar with different kinds of queerness and relationships. She made sure to ask about who in our party was out, and to what degree, just in case a sticky situation arose. Cate managed to capture both formal portraits and nice-looking outtakes from in-between formal portraits; got photos of all our guests, and took a lot of candid photos from the dance floor without us even realizing she was there until we saw the album afterwards. She captured all of the detail shots that we had asked for, and innovated a couple of her own that were much appreciated. Both of us have terrible memories, and rely heavily on photographs to remember even really important events. Cate understood this and did a great job photographing things so that we would be able to remember them without worrying. We paid for six hours of just Cate working, which included time spent on the formal photographs, and resulted in just over 700 photos processed and sent to us far faster than we had expected! I think it took her a month or two less than her estimated timeline. Her rate isn't cheap, but she was absolutely worth it, and we were happy to have her working for us for the day! She's been enthusiastic the whole way through, great at adjusting on the fly, and stellar about following up with us. (This review is for our wedding a year and a half ago - I just found the draft I'd written in 2023 and realized I never posted it anywhere!)

From the moment we reached out to inquire about her availability, Cate has been super responsive and we could tell she was genuinely interested in our story as well as how we wanted to tell that story through photos. The session went as well as I could have imagined - Cate made us feel so comfortable to be ourselves in front of the camera by connecting with us, listening to our wishes and offering so many ways for us to relax, focus on each other and feel pretty. And the final photos! are! gorgeous! The intimate vibe we loved and wanted to capture is there in our photos, but it also feels unique to us and isn't just a replica of Cate's previous work. There isn't a photo in which we faked our smiles - they're all eye-squinting nose-wrinkling happy laughs and giggles and tender moments because we had that much fun during our session. Her edits were beautiful and when I had an additional request, she was very accommodating as well. Now my only regret is that our wedding isn't remotely close to Connecticut so that we could have Cate as our photographer. She's amazing at what she does and if you have a chance to work with her, I'd 100% go for it.

My fiance and I came to his studio for a headshot picture for my new job as an elementary school teacher. He was nothing but patient, encouraging, and warm. I felt more than comfortable being at this studio. What's so amazing about Paul is that he sees each person's authentic personality and captures you for you. He has this artistic grab in his photos. If you notice, he is not an ordinary photographer. His pictures are high quality and he can mold his pictures to your liking if pleased. I would highly recommend Paul 10/10. He is easy and great to work with. Also, his cute little sleeping doggy in the room next room is a plus too!

Chelsea was super fantastic. We had been scouring Craigslist for an affordable engagement…read morephotographer, and not only did Chelsea have the best prices, but she also had good quality work. She was very communicative with us over email about setting up the session. We wanted to do our pictures at the Palace of Fine Arts and Baker Beach / Golden Gate Bridge. Just like typical San Francisco, the city was covered in heavy fog the week leading up to our engagement shoot. I really appreciated that Chelsea suggested we do a sunrise photo shoot. In the end, Chelsea was flexible to delay this a couple hours to allow the fog to lift a bit more. I was really happy that Chelsea made the suggestion to do the early hour shoot, because while getting up super early doesn't sound all that fun, our pictures turned out way better because of it. We didn't have to worry about working around people to avoid them showing up in pictures because there was no one else around in the early morning. I would highly recommend a morning shoot if you have the option. Chelsea also made us feel comfortable from the beginning and we had a really fun time with the shoot. She didn't put a hard stop time on the photo shoot; on the contrary, she listened to what shots we were wanting and did those and more until we had everything covered. It was very evident that she knew what she was doing from the way Chelsea was positioning us and the care she was taking in lining her camera up with the background scenery and lighting. We felt really good coming out of the shoot, but you can never really know for sure how successful the shoot was until you see the photos. Chelsea sent us a preview of a few photos later that day which was really nice since we were so excited to see the end result. We got a USB flash drive in the mail about two weeks later with the rest of our edited photos. They turned out really really great. I have no idea how we'll decide which photo to use for our Save the Dates since we love so many of them. Chelsea is super talented and easy to work with. I am blown away with the high quality of photos and service we got for such a reasonable price. Definitely give her a shot if you're in the market for a photographer.
