For me, having your photo taken while trying to be cuddly with your husband can feel awkward but Adam made us feel completely relaxed.

I will be 100% using him again in the future and recommending him to ALL family and friends. Thanks again for creating lasting memories for us Adam!!

Coming from Sacramento, I had no clue where to pull off the surprise, but Lorinda had the answers for everything. Which beach to have as the venue, which hotel to stay at, and even had extra outfits for my now fiancé to change in to. We had a lot of family come in for the surprise and she was extremely professional with guiding all of them as well. As for the shoot itself, Lorinda captured our memorable moment with some stunning images. She knew exactly what she was doing, which lighting worked for each pose, she made us very comfortable, and the whole shoot felt very candid. Thank you again Lorinda for everything, 5/5 is an understatement.

You could tell she was experienced and knew how to pose us and make us look natural. It was extremely fun having her snap pictures of us that time flew by so fast.

It was also a cloudy day on the beach but you couldn't even tell with the pictures. Thank you so much Rachel for being part of our day, you were AMAZING!!!

We used Rachel earlier this month for family photos after our son turned one and we loved her! She…read morewas prompt in responding to my inquiry and her prices and packages are competitive. On the day of our shoot, my husband woke up very sick. He wanted to cancel but I begged him to hang in for a few hours until our session was complete. He agreed but he was irritable the whole time. Our son was cranky and teething and hadn't slept through the night for at least a week. Plus we had just partied for three days with out friends at our family beach house in Moss Landing so I was super tired! To top it off, the weather on the afternoon of our shoot was unforgiving. When Rachel arrived we sort of rushed her through our session because we all wanted to get back home to the Bay. I figured we wouldn't get a lot of good shots but if we got at least a few it wouldn't be wasted effort. She was gracious and patient and gave us just the right amount of direction that we needed since my husband and I feel super awkward in front of the camera. Despite giving her zero workable material, the photos came out gorgeous! (And we received them in a week!) I couldn't believe it. She made something out of nothing and now we have these beautiful and precious photos of our family to cherish forever. We will definitely be using Rachel again! We are so so full of gratitude!

The whole time, she was so great at telling us where we needed to be and how to pose to get the perfect shots. The photos all came out beautifully, and we're having such a hard time deciding on just a couple to get printed! Leading up to the wedding, we had multiple meetings to discuss the wedding timeline, shots that were important to us, and all of the other important logistics. They were always very well thought-out in advance, and Taylor was incredibly responsive to all of our other questions between calls. We are so glad that we got to work with Taylor and hope that we have more opportunities to in the future! 10/10 experience!

They both have such an amazing eye for absolutely breathtaking photos.

They were so entertaining making our guests laugh, and had the perfect props for our guests to utilize. Another great benefit is Carol's timely correspondence.

The photos really do speak for themselves! All of our friends and family who were not able to participate, definitely were able to experience the moment, as Heather was able to capture our special day so beautifully. We felt not just comfortable, but more so that we were spending the afternoon with an old friend. That's because Heather is absolutely one of the warmest and sweetest individuals we've ever met. So much so, we got together the day after our wedding to see her again and share stories over lunch with her, and her beautiful baby boy. As a result of our wonderful time spent with Heather, we continue our friendship to this very day! We cannot wait to see Heather soon, as we're actually planing our First Anniversary trip this Spring. A stop in Big Sur with our favorite photog is a must! Stay tuned for more epic magic!!
