Jessica is very experienced and had great suggestions on locations for our session. Her experience as a nanny definitely showed with how patient and how well she worked with our 2 young boys (1.5 yo and 3 yo). Photos were wonderful! I am still in awe of her ability to catch all of the pictures she did with how active our boys were running around. Jessica had a very fast turn around of her photos. I've worked with other photographers that take months for our pictures to come back. Jessica got our pictures ready for selection the same weekend! Talk about dedication!! Highly recommended. We'll be reaching out to Jessica again to capture more of our families big moments. Thanks Jessica!

Wedding planning is a man's least favorite activity…read more Between the escort cards, table tents, chair types and guest book pens, anything that my wife didn't have to worry about was a blessing. The flowers were one area that my wife did not have to obsess over thanks to Sakhon from Blue Hydrangea. Sahkon was easy to contact and we exchanged emails and phone calls to hash out some of the details, but only needed to meet once, which was great considering how busy we were. She came up with color schemes, questioned our flower preferences and sent us pictures of flowers. She was extremely easy to work with and always had the success of our wedding in mind. She was innovative with the head table even incorporating fresh lemons, from my father's garden, into the arrangement. The boutonnieres were great and last 15+ hours without wilting. After a daytime wedding, they endured an all-night post-wedding pub crawl. The price was very reasonable and she found creative ways to work within our budget. I'd recommend her to anyone planning a wedding in the Bay Area.

When I became pregnant with my first child last summer, I new I wanted to have maternity photos…read moretaken by a professional to keep as mementos of one of the happiest times in my life. However, I'm not very comfortable in front of a camera, and I knew I needed to find a professional photographer who could help me relax and enjoy the experience. Fortunately, I found Sakhon. She is so easy to work with: she communicates well, is flexible and has a great sense of humor. I feel completely comfortable with her, and she is super creative when it comes to colors, textures, props and backgrounds. My maternity photos turned out beautifully, and I will cherish them always! I loved the photos Sakhon took so much, I asked her to do a newborn photo shoot after my son was born. From now on, Sakhon is definitely my go-to photographer for all of life's memorable occasions. I really couldn't recommend her more.

She is engaging...so she brought out the best in us, the children in our group, and even our dogs! She is talented....so many of the finished photos were keepers, so it was hard to decide between them all. Our gallery was promised within a short period of time and she even beat that estimate. We are thrilled that we found her for our family reunion pics...every single person (in our 15-person group) raved about the photo shoot and the finished product! We will definitely be asking her to shoot future occasions for us. Thank you, Sasha...an all around amazing experience!

She makes us feel at ease when it might otherwise feel weird to be "on stage." She has also photographed my newborn baby's pictures, So professional. Didn't even flinch when the baby peed on her, just lovingly took care of him, reminded me she is also a mother and kept on shooting. As a new mom, I was more relaxed during the shoot than anywhere else! She is a class act and I recommend her to anyone who wants a moment in time captured forever.

Debi didnt blink an eye, dogs barking at other dogs, baby crying and turning his face at the pivotal moment of a great shot. Her calm easy going manner really pulled us together and made a somewhat stressful event into a great bonding time for us all. We were able to view a couple shots and we were thrilled and can't wait to see the rest. We loved the location and appreciated her vision. Great beginning to what we hope will be a tradition in our family with Debi for a long time to come. I highly recommend Debi for any event. Debi was flexible with my pain issues and rescheduled us without resentment. I heard about Debi from a friend who works for animal rescue, Debi was kind enough to volunteer her gift for photography to help these animals find a home. What a blessing for our community. Thank you Debi.

This past weekend we did our Newborn/Family photos. She was patient with all 3 of my children and my man lol she worked great with my newborn even when he wasn't the easiest.

She confirmed the organization of the event, all the key moments and executed perfectly. She was able to be both a calm conductor and observer at the right moments, which helped us capture both organized and candid moments. She was also kind enough to stayed and ensure we had all the photos we envisioned. When we received our photos in such a short time, we were overjoyed by how well the photos came out. The authentic and aesthetic feel was just what we had hoped for. CeeCee is so talented! We're so thankful to have her document our tea ceremony. We wouldn't be able to re-share these sweet memories with our loved ones if it weren't for her.

Very expensive, and very poor service! Not recommended at all!…read moreLightworks was mandated by my son's high school to produce his senior portraits. Lightworks never advised me that the portraits were ready, and I was given a very weak explanation relative to the lack of follow-up, while receiving no compensation for the many months (!) it took to obtain them. Additionally, the average quality of the portraits in no way justifies the high cost!

I had won a certificate for a family session and print at a charity auction. Making an appointment…read morewas easy (the appointment was bit into the future, but that's a good sign!) and the staff was very flexible when we needed to reschedule. When you walk into the studio you are instantly surrounded by pictures from past clients sessions in a variety of finishes, frames and arrangements. It being Napa, you are sure to know someone on the wall! Our appointment was in the morning, and so we headed off to the park behind the studio for an outdoor session (our choice). My husband and I have a 3 year old son, and Joe and Carol were such professionals; they knew how to engage our son to smile and have fun (without creating a tantrum!). As he took pictures, Joe let us see the results and make suggestions and welcomed our comments. After only about 15 minutes we headed back to the studio. My husband and I thought he would review the pictures and pick the best one, but to our happy surprise we got to sit down and see them all together. In seeing the pictures on the monitor I could see the craftsmanship and skill that Joe has with a camera. Small details in lighting, posing, and angle really make his pictures come alive. So much so, that we decided to purchase an additional photo collage. We were alerted a few weeks later that the prints were ready and I picked them up without any problems. While some may say that the cost is expensive (notably the other comment posted here), you must realize that Lightworks (and other similar photographers) are not a department store photoshop. You are getting a far superior product for your dollar with Lightworks. Our prints, mattes and frame are of the highest quality, the kind of quality that you won't get from a mall shop. Remember: these are your priceless moments in time of your friends or family, entrust them to Lightworks to preserve and honor them. Without hesitation we would return to Lightworks in the future. I would highly recommend them.
