We got some great pictures from our child's dance class which Al took. He responded to my questions about the digital images we purchased.

My husband and I had a consultation with Al before our wedding and we went through Al's books with him.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Marcela at Lemonshoots. From the beginning, Marcela has…read morebeen incredible to work with. She responded quickly to my initial request and immediately made me feel seen, heard, and valued. I love how thoughtful and intentional she was throughout each step of her process. She made both my partner and I feel comfortable and we loved working with her for our newborn shoot. She took her time and was amazing with our 6-week-old son and captured the most beautiful and precious moments. We are excited to continue working with Marcela as our son grows up and highly recommend Marcela to anyone looking to capture pure, meaningful moments with their little ones. I wish I had found Marcela sooner as I would have worked with her for a maternity shoot as well - she made me feel beautiful and I cannot thank her enough for being such a light in our lives.

We went to her for our son's newborn session last year. We were still coming out of pandemic mode and were so worried about taking baby anywhere, especially with him being so small and vulnerable. Working with Marcela, our anxiety melted away completely. Her studio shoot was just her and the hair and makeup person she recommended. She was happy to mask, hand sanitize, etc. and the whole experience from consultation, photo session, and ordering, to product pickup was very smooth. As first-time parents, it was the one of the first times since our son was born that we actually felt relaxed. Marcela has such a calming presence and she is so professional and SO, SO good with babies -- a true baby whisperer. She was patient and kind with us wrangling, the baby, us and our pups Curtis and Daisy with ease. Our photos turned out beautifully and we were so happy with the outcome and our overall experience that we went back recently for our 1-year milestone photos. Highly recommend!

My boyfriend, now fiance, worked with Lusa to have her (secretly) photograph us during his…read moreproposal. My fiance continues to rave about how easy it was to work with her, as he was extremely nervous but it was clear she genuinely cared about making him feel comfortable and confident that she would come through and beautifully capture the big moment. The proposal was to happen at Dolores Park, which he'd previously scouted out and selected what was supposed to be a secluded location. Unexpected plans came up and Lusa graciously accommodated the schedule change - which also meant that the proposal was now happening on May 5... yes, Cinco de Mayo, a total curve ball. Dolores Park was jam packed with thousands of drunken festival go-ers, so the location he had mind was now out of the question. During the minutes leading up to the rendez vous point, he was sneaking off to text message her and coordinate a new plan.... of which Lusa not only was there early but she managed to scout out a NEW location (at the bridge overlooking the park) for him to lead me to and pop the question. This turned out to be a BETTER location - the bridge arches added a new dimension to the backdrop in our photos my fiance, not having an experienced photographer's eye, would not have picked up. During the big moment, Lusa carefully hid behind a statue and took candid shots of my fiance pouring his heart out - After the proposal, my fiance reveals that Lusa was there photographing us the whole time - and she proceeded to take such posed shots of me showing off my new bling :) These pictures will definitely go into our wedding slide show, in the mean time, it's part of our "save the date" for the engagement party :) We loved Lusa's elegant (but not overly abstract) images, and her over the top dedication and commitment so much that we are having her shoot my "dam hoi", the traditional Vietnamese engagement ceremony. She's taken the time to meet with me to go through the day's events and allow me to highlight the particular moments that will definitely need to be captured. I can't wait for my second round with her, updates on that to come - Also worth noting is that while she's been photographing for a while now, she has recently expanded into and focus more on engagements and wedding ceremonies, making her more reasonable and within my budget than others I looked at on the market. As you can see from our experience, she will work with you and your plans to make sure your treasured moments are forever digitally documented - WE WHOLE HEARTEDLY RECOMMEND LUSA!

Lusa is super professional and easy to work with. She showed up to our appt on time, made us feel…read morecomfortable within 5 minutes and went to work. Our photos looked so natural. Not that I know too much about photography technique, but I'm sure Lusa really has skills. She was able to use sunlight in our pics at the right angles which made our photos look like they are from a magazine. Her prices are very reasonable and I would definitely recommend her!

AGB Photographics - I love that this photo was taken on a swing set. What a great way to get me to relax and have some fun with the shoot!

When I recently came onto the job market and looked at my eight-year-old head shot on LinkedIn, I…read morerealized I was way overdue for a new one. For me, the challenge was finding a photographer to capture my personality and avoid an overly-formal, stiff-looking head shot. Working backwards from the best head shot I'd ever seen - my friend Donna's photo is natural, warm, engaging, and exactly HER - I asked Donna to give me the name of her photographer, and it happened to be Angela Banchi. Angela and her approach to photography was wonderful from start to finish. We exchanged several email volleys on the kind of shot I was looking for, the setting, the timing, and scheduling a makeup artist and hair stylist. The day of the shoot, Angela advised me on wardrobe options, chose several great locations in the park, and did what I needed most: made me feel comfortable. Really, who wants to smile on cue 1,000 times in a row? Angela posted the online proofs immediately following the shoot; reviewing them and selecting my favorites was a snap. Within a day Angela had retouched my final selections, and I now have eight excellent hi-resolution and eight web images to choose from. I thank Angela for taking me from dreading to actually enjoying the photo shoot. I couldn't be more pleased with the final result and highly recommend Angela to anyone looking for a head shot that captures their personality.

I hate having my photo taken! Angie took business portraits of me and her warm personality made me…read morefeel much more comfortable than I expected. I had a fun time with her--but more importantly, through the photos, she captured "me" and the way I feel about my work as a wedding officiant. When I look at the photos, I feel that my potential clients see the deep love I have for my work. She captured expression and depth that I don't recall seeing in photos of myself. I love, love, love my portraits. They are ME and convey an image that feels congruent with who I am and how approachable I want to feel to my clients. I am very, very happy and highly recommend Angie for business portraits, weddings and events, and all your people-involved professional photography needs.
