He's so good with his camera that even the initial proofs came out beautifully. Throughout the session he was encouraging and full of creative ideas and suggestions that made the whole process easy and even fun. His studio is cozy and welcoming, and his wife, who was there during the shoot, was lovely and gracious. The two of them create an environment that immediately puts you at ease. James is a true professional and a delight to work with, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for excellent photography and a genuinely supportive experience. Also, he has a fabulous cat!

Highly recommend!

She even offered to travel to Napa ahead of time to view the venue, and this familiarity really helped so that she was able to capture the architecture and feel of the location. On the morning of, she was there early and ready at the perfect spot. After the surprise of the proposal, she spent about an hour taking our photos around the winery and inside the tasting room with suggested poses and pre-determined locations. She was extremely efficient, and we felt that we had plenty of time for everything. She sent a handful of photos less than an hour after we were done, which we were able to share with friends and family. After a few weeks, she sent the full portfolio (over 500 photos) and everyone agrees that they were beautiful. She captured the proposal so incredibly, was extremely easy to communicate with, and highly professional. I would highly recommend her work to anyone needing a wedding or engagement photographer.

I truly cannot say enough good things about Tammy. Some people just have a gift, and you look at…read moretheir work and think, wow, this is exactly what they were meant to do. Tammy is one of those people. She is an incredible photographer. She notices light, angles, expressions, and tiny details that other people would completely miss, and somehow turns those moments into beautiful images that actually feel like the day. She is also just a wonderful person to work with. She is kind, reliable, easygoing, and really understood our vision. We did not want to spend hours posing for photos or feel like we were missing our own wedding. We wanted to be present, spend time with our friends and family, and have the day captured as it naturally unfolded. Tammy completely got that. Neither of us is particularly comfortable in front of a camera, but she made us feel SO relaxed throughout the entire process. She made our families feel comfortable too, and she was amazing at navigating the chaos of an Indian wedding with more than 250 guests. She also brought a second shooter who was wonderful. We were already so happy with the photos from our engagement shoot, and the highlight images we have received from the wedding are absolutely beautiful. If what you care about most is capturing people, their reactions, their emotions, and the actual love and joy of a wedding, rather than spending the whole day posing, Tammy is your person. Her candid photography is incredible, and the photos genuinely make you feel what the day felt like. We are so grateful we found her and could not recommend her more.

Tammy also uses online tools that make viewing and sharing pictures really easy - something we didn't think about, but that we're grateful for. Overall, Tammy was awesome - highly recommended!

She understands about what perspectives make a picture stand out, and as a result her passion for what she does also shows.

I had 2 photo sessions with Cheryl-- a maternity shoot and a newborn shoot (a few weeks later)…read more Both experiences were amazing. First off, Cheryl is the sweetest person ever. She was always very responsive to my questions before each shoot and allowed plenty of time for us to get the photos/poses we wanted during the shoots. She never put a time limit on our sessions. We never felt rushed and she always checked in the make sure we were happy. I sent her a Pinterest board with photo ideas for my maternity shoot. She actually looked at the board and made sure we got all the shots I wanted before we finished our session. She even let me family get in on each photo shoot so we got a great deal. Her studio is located in downtown Petaluma but she's also willing to meet at an offsite location. Parking tip: there is a 2 hour limit on Kentucky Street but there is a parking garage with a 4-10 hour limit one street back on Keller. You can park there and then take the exit right onto Kentucky street. Her studio is cozy and inviting. She has a waiting room for families (great for when you do the newborn shots) that couches, snacks, drinks and a TV. She has a ton of newborn outfits and gowns for mama. Her turnaround time for the gallery is 1-2 weeks and she'll keep you updated on the process. She has a makeup artist that can come to her studio if you want to get glammed up before a shoot. We'll be using her for our family photos from here on out. I am so happy I got connected to her!

We've had annual family photo sessions with Hilary for the past five years (and even two sessions…read morein one year!), and she has been phenomenal every single time. She's wonderful with our kids--whether it was a newborn, a fussy toddler, or now more cooperative school-aged kids, she's been able to capture beautiful moments through every stage. One year my younger daughter was especially shy and grumpy about photos, but you'd never know it from the gorgeous images Hilary delivered. She's also great with pets and even got our dog to "smile" at the camera for a few shots this year! We included my parents in a session one year, and Hilary handled the larger family group seamlessly. She also has a great eye for locations, whether it's a tried-and-true spot or somewhere new, and she always makes the most of the setting. On top of that, her pricing is very reasonable, especially since you get to keep all the images from your session, and she's always prompt with delivery. Hilary makes family photos stress-free and fun, and the results are consistently stunning--we look forward to working with her every year.

Kristy of Volatile Photography is truly the best photographer a person could ever dream of. If you…read moreare searching for a photographer for your wedding to capture the most important day of your life, she is the one. You can stop searching now. I was never the little girl who dreamed my whole life of every detail of my wedding day. Before I got engaged, I only knew 2 things that I wanted for my wedding. The song I would walk down the aisle to and that I wanted Kristy to be my photographer. I had been following her work for several years, only hoping that one day I'd be lucky enough to have a reason to need her services. Kristy exceeded every expectation I had. She quickly responded to every email I sent her. She was extremely helpful in answering all the questions I had about the wedding day and I trusted all the feedback she gave me. She was flexible and understanding through the entire planning process. She took time to come to the wedding venue the night before at the rehearsal to get familiar with everybody in the wedding party and family members whom she would be shooting the following day. She scouted the best locations for pictures and made sure everything was set with the venue coordinator. She did all of this in such a natural and comfortable way that I was completely confident about the wedding day. The day of the wedding, she arrived early and was extremely helpful in keeping the time schedule we had planned. She managed all of my family and bridal party in such a professional and easy going way that not only were we able to get all the shots we wanted, but everyone enjoyed every moment of the process. Kristy is fun and makes everyone feel comfortable having their picture taken. During the ceremony and after, Kristy fit in so easily to every situation and never interrupted a single moment, although each important moment was captured. And then came the photographs. I will never be able to do justice in words the beauty of my wedding pictures. I have hundreds of stunning images that capture the love, emotion, fun, and beauty that was present at my wedding. There are so many candid pictures of the most meaningful moments of that day that I will be able to treasure forever. I am eternally grateful for Kristy and all of the photographs I have of my special day. She is simply the best there is.
