We loved our wedding photo shoot with Liz! She was very friendly, professional, and patient. We…read morehaven't done photo shoots before so we had no experience with posing or choosing a nice background. Liz guided us through the process and had a lot of great suggestions. The photos came out amazing, and we couldn't be happier. Liz was also great at communicating at all times - when scheduling, on the day of, and after. We also received the photos back much faster than we expected which was a pleasant surprise. Highly highly recommend!

Susan's approach of just blending in with our family and capturing candid moments was exactly what we were looking for. The shoot yielded absolutely beautiful shots of our family. We will treasure them forever! Not to mention they will make perfect Christmas cards for all our family and friends this year! She is also unbelievably easy to work with, both in setting up the shoot, the day of, and when she delivered the images. She is super responsive over text and email, and provided our photos way ahead of schedule. She even sent some gorgeous sneak peak photos of our kids. Susan is really kind and friendly, and all three of our children feel very comfortable around her. End-to-end, we couldn't have had a better experience nor have we ever seen a better set of family photos. I couldn't recommend Susan more!" - Mayor Family

We were able to use the stunning photos to create our "Save the Date" cards and even used the photos to create our wedding website. She took the time to really understand the look/style we were going for as well as getting to know our personalities ahead of time. This made us feel very comfortable while shooting. Susan is very prompt, responsive, easy to talk to and accommodating. We highly recommend Charming Colour Photography for any photography needs!

Tim is a true artist!…read more We had 7 adults and 4 kids. We were nervous with the kids and how they'd manage with this session. Luckily Tim was able to not only take beautiful pictures but he managed to get the kids all laughing and smiling! Tim recommended a number of different locations but ultimately helped me settle with La Jolla. Although it was cloudy, he still managed to get a the slight sunset & waves crashing in! We're so lucky to of found & book with him! The photos were all beautiful! Seeing photos of our son, smiling, happy and thoroughly enjoying himself, brought us so much joy! Tim, you don't know this but we have a few shots of you entertaining our son with the frog! You're a true gem!! Thank you so much for capturing such beautiful photos!

Tim Otto is simply amazing! We used him after 2 sets of our friends used him for their weddings…read moreand loved him. Tim shot our wedding (which included a couple of locations), and he was truly incredible. His photographs are wonderful; his coloring is great; he doesn't upcharge; and he's honestly just so fun to be around--we never thought that a photographer could make a wedding better and more fun. But Tim did it--his relaxed and fun vibes really added something to the mix, eased any pressure, and just made things more enjoyable. This is a really awesome thing, because I've been in weddings where the photography definitely feels like a chore. We couldn't be happier having worked with Tim, and we wholeheartedly recommend him to our friends (and you)!

This was my second boudoir shoot with Bad Kitty Photography, and baby... this time? NEXT. LEVEL…read more It didn't just top my first experience--it blew it completely out of the water. From the moment we started, I was laughing, talking, sharing stories, and just being me. Somewhere between the laughs and the camera clicks, I stopped worrying about angles, flaws, or what my body looked like. That's the magic--she makes you feel so comfortable, so confident, so beautiful that the insecurity doesn't even get an invite to the shoot. And let's talk about Cinnamon because whew --an absolute delight. Loved her instantly. Her energy? Immaculate. Her vibe? Safe, fun, empowering. Her makeup skills? She made me feel comfortable, polished, and like that girl from start to finish. If you've been thinking about booking but hesitating--this is your sign. Book the shoot. Period. I literally told her yesterday this is now my every-five-years tradition. This was round two, and best believe I'll be back again in 2031. Confidence boost? Secured. Experience? Unmatched. Would I do it again? Already planned. ‍

I had a shoot recently. I received very clear instructions on how to prep for the shoot and what I…read moreneeded to do the day of shoot and what to expect. Cinnamon did my photos and it's OBVIOUS she has decades of experience. Her personality was so vibrant but calming. The first questions she asked were about my comfort level, what I was ok with showing and not ok with showing. Asked a lot of questions about what my goal for the shoot would be. It made me feel very safe and comfortable. She had me get in my first outfit and pointed out things I never would have thought of like deodorant on my underarms. She gave clear direction on posing and made the whole process so much fun. I forgot I was there for a photoshoot. It seemed effortless for her. She took time after my shoot to answer any questions I had about the next steps in the process. After the shoot I got the edited photos 3 days later which is a crazy turn around time. The album came with very clear instructions on how to view and select photos or packages for purchase. I was also given multiple reminders to make my selections before the cut off time which my ADHD brain really appreciated. I would (and have) recommend them to anyone looking for this type of shoot and will probably book in the future.

Valerie is a phenomenally outstanding photographer! We just had our wedding this past Saturday, so…read morewe haven't even gotten our photos back yet but we are just so happy with our experiences with Valerie that we had to post a review now! (Will post update and some photos from our wedding once available -- which I am confident will be amazing since we loved our engagement photos -- will post some of our engagement photos for now!) First of all, Valerie is one of the most genuine vendors that we worked with for our wedding. Her services are reasonably priced while still offering a superb, quality service and product. All our interactions with her made us feel like she was genuinely excited for our big day and wanted to make it special for us. Valerie was definitely one of our favorite vendors that we worked with for our wedding! Secondly, Valerie's personality really helped us shine and feel comfortable in our photos even for 2 camera-shy people. Even all the guests at our wedding raved about how much they loved her! She's friendly, engaging, helpful with posing, professional, and efficient! We are SO happy that we found Valerie after searching through hundreds (literally hundreds of photographers in San Diego) -- we really lucked out in finding her and highly recommend her to any other couple in the search for wedding photographer or any photographer services for that matter!

Valerie has this special skill where the more I look at the photos she took for our engagement and…read morewedding, the more I love it. We are really happy with how our photos turned out. Valerie is also very witty and has a style of humor where she's super quirky, but in a good way that makes you feel less shy and self conscious when you're taking photos and more willing to express your true self during the photoshoot. Her rate is also incredibly reasonable and competitive! Besides being an awesome photographer, Valerie is also really great in helping you with bridesmaid tasks during the wedding. This includes helping you with bustling your dress, carrying your gown train around, securing your veil to the back of your head, or pining boutonnières on for your parents/wedding party members. I was especially grateful for her in doing all the boutonnière pinnings as I had no idea how to do that and definitely did not want the added stress of trying to figure it out on the day of. One tip that I suggest when taking your engagement or wedding photos is to have some ideas of poses you want or have a list of the specific sites you want to take pictures at your wedding venue. I regret not doing this as, after the wedding, we realized there were a couple places we wish we had taken more photos at. Additionally, our wedding photos had many similar poses sprinkled throughout and I wish I had researched/looked at more wedding photos in general to get ideas of what other poses we could've done. However, considering how much details are involved in weddings, these are sort of just "cherry on the top" stuff which would've been nice to have but aren't deal breakers. Valerie will definitely not miss any defining wedding moments for you. You can rest assured that she will capture all your wedding highlights without fail!

Came in for a simple shoot for promotional headshots to use for marketing of my DJ events. Only…read moreneeded digital files. Wanted to get about 4 poses, 2 photos each for a total of 8, with a max spend of $150-200. The cheapest option was $139 for a single photo. Second cheapest was $250 for 15 photos. Absolutely, ridiculous price when I can pay for a private photographer to shoot in the field for $400 and send me 60 edited shots. Or go to Sphere self serve photo and get a 15 min shoot with 60 edited shots for only $89. Employees and management were rude and would not work with me at all on pricing. They also would not refund me the $40 I spent to reserve my 30 minute slot less than 24 hours ago. They had open availability all day today, I wonder why. Very disappointed, this is not a way to treat a potential customer! You could've had my business if you just tried a little harder, sad!

Jessica is absolutely amazing! She took pictures for our maternity session as well as our newborn…read moreson. A year later, she took our family's pictures for our son's one year birthday (cake smash) as well as for the holiday cards. She has a studio at her home with plenty of snacks while you do your sessions. It's also heated for those chillier winter months. The props she has are amazing and add a lovely style to her photos. She has a natural talent for finding perfect poses and the experience to get great angles. She also does locations other than her studio for photo shoots. For our maternity pictures we were at the beach and for our family pics we went to a hiking trail. She's able to taylor yo meet your needs. Her turnover to get pictures back to you is always quicker than she stated which is so lovely (especially when you want to get out holiday cards!) I highly recommend Jessica for her stellar services! You won't be disappointed! Loop

We were quite nervous, as our son isn't exactly always cooperative, but Jessica wasn't frazzled in the least, and just totally put our minds at ease. Even though it seemed like our son cried for most of the shoot (toddlers!), Jessica promised she got tons of great shots of him smiling, and she DID! We were so pleasantly surprised when we saw the photos, ha! Jessica was fantastic to work with from the very beginning, offering lots of help with wardrobe choices, location choices, etc. We couldn't be happier with the outcome of our photoshoot and can't wait to hire Jessica again for more photos :) Thank you, Jessica!!!!
