Sefra did an outstanding job taking our first professional photoshoot in Grover Beach, CA. We were…read moredown the area for the first time, and I looked online for photographers. After considering several, we chose SefraKay Photography because of the wonderful work she's done taking family portraits. Her response time was great, and she was very flexible to work with, especially in regards to location. Before I even paid her any money, she was kind enough to suggest several places in the area. Despite not having met her before, we felt very comfortable with her as soon as we met. She has an online system in place for scheduling and paying that is seamless and hassle-free. It even reminds you of your upcoming appointment. The pictures were taken during the Golden Hour, and came out great! We are very satisfied with these pictures and will definitely be working with her next time we go down to Pismo. Her services are very affordable and her product is very high quality. No awkwardness or stiffness (and my wife and I are not really posers by nature). We felt just like ourselves while capturing precious moments of our young family. Let me put it this way: If you are looking for some family portraits, look no further than Sefra.

Alma was probably one of the best things about our wedding! We got married February 2020 in Big…read moreSur, CA. This review is long overdue but married-covid life has been crazy. I do not even know where to begin. Finding a photographer my husband and I both liked was a challenge to say the least. My husband is a landscape photographer, so we have lots of opinions, and on top of that we needed to find a photographer willing to travel to a place that has no cell phone signal. I called around and talked to a few photographers, but no one seemed like a good fit, or they weren't willing to work with our situation. When I talked to Alma, we instantly hit it off on the phone and decided to meet in-person to go over expectations and details. My husband and I walked out of her studio and instantly knew she was the one we wanted to photograph our wedding. Fast forward to our big day. Alma and her team showed up on-time and ready to get to work, even with a very long drive. Despite being a SUPER windy and cold day, and forgetting some important things at home - 6 hours away - if you look at our wonderful photos you would think it was a perfect day and nothing went wrong. Alma and her team were amazing the whole day, they kept us on schedule, walked up and down the venue's stairs a million times (there were a ton), and when something came up, they adjusted like it was no big deal. She truly made our wedding day way more extraordinary than I thought it would be. When we received our sneak peek, I cried. The photos were gorgeous, and I craved more! I cried again when I received our full gallery. Alma was great with communication, she frequently checked in with us and was quick to reply to messages. Thinking back to our wedding day, what I remember most was taking photos with Alma and her team and it makes me smile every time. Her thoughtfulness throughout the day will always stick with me. Alma is a true artist and an amazing person.

From our first conversation, Natalie was quick to respond and transparent about pricing and photography style. As people who had never planned a wedding, we appreciate Natalie for her communication. She was helpful during the planning process. Natalie sent us a questionnaire to understand our expectations and preferences and helped us prepare a family photos template (photos with all our family was important to us). Natalie was a true professional on our wedding day. She was punctual and came ready to shoot. Our ceremony had a late start, but Natalie made sure to use the time we had to capture some bride and groom pictures. Additionally, Natalie did an amazing job capturing our small ceremony's intimacy. One of Natalie's many strengths is her familiarity with the Santa Barbara Courthouse. Our photos reflect the best natural lighting and reflected the courthouse's grandeur. Additionally, my husband and I are not usually comfortable around cameras but Natalie has such a warm demeanor that it eased us with posing. Natalie was timely with getting us previews and our final pictures. When we received the final photos, we were simply blown away by how beautiful the pictures turned out. Natalie is an expert and I can't believe how lucky we are that our wedding pictures were captured by her. Like us, our family is obsessed with the photographs. I just know these are pictures we will cherish forever. If we were to do it all again, I would definitely want Natalie to photograph our wedding. We can't thank you enough for your creativity and the beautiful pictures!

We chose Kirsten to be our wedding photographer later this year. We just had our engagement photo…read moresession recently and OH MY GOSH she is just incredible. First of all, I want to be her best friend. She's so kind, super funny, she matched our banter well and we had so much fun with her. I have never been a fan of being in photos, and when I opened ours I actually cried with how happy I was this them. To make me feel so happy, to capture our little family and our love so well when we're both awkward people, is something so beyond talent, hard work, experience and skill. First of all, I totally forgot about engagement photos. She followed up a little bit after booking with her, and we set a date that was a ways out as my fiance was injured and wanted to wear shoes rather than a rehab boot Then, she asked if I need outfit help. I work a job with a uniform, and have two t-shirts and one pair of jeans that double whammy as my work jeans and nice jeans, so the answer was yes. She asked a few follow up questions to determine what our style is. Within an hour she had made a Pinterest board for us with over 50 pins of outfits for the both of us. It was perfect and thanks to her shopping for this photo session was a breeze. Then the time came for us to be in front of the camera. Kirsten learned very quickly that we avoid cameras But within minutes, thanks to her coaching and prompting, we were able to let our guard down, be silly, have fun and have some wonderfully intimate looking photos. She went above and beyond walking our property, finding nice spots, getting us to loosen up and be comfortable, and she included our pup Maggie in everything she could! When we tried a photo I thought would be cute but wasn't working because the puppy was being a puppy, Kirsten said let me try something, and was able to photoshop the shot for me. So silly but something so kind and considerate of her to do. Can't recommend her enough for her skills and her personality, and I am so excited to have her on our wedding day and will be a loyal customer throughout our life.

A friend of mine had her boudoir shots done about 4 years ago. She tried to convince me to do it…read moreto, but I thought that wasn't for me I'm too old for that. It wasn't very long afterwards that I experienced a bad breakup, after nearly 16 years, one day he just walked out. I was left devastated with my self-esteem and my confidence in shatters. As if that hadn't been  tough enough, it was less than 3 months later that we all went unlocked down in March of 2020 due to Covid 19. So there I sat alone in my house, working from home with no social contact to speak of, no romantic possibilities on the horizon, and no self-worth, self-esteem or self-confidence yosoeak of. Thats when my friend started bugging me again about getting a Boudoir shot done. It took her maybe close to a year but she finally got me to email Sarah Williams @ Mirrors Edge.  This was in summer of 2021. I had just dropped a few pounds after gaining my covid 15, so I was just starting to feel a little better about myself. Sarah and I picked a date and it's a date grew closer and closer I grew more and more anxious, more and more unsure of myself. Then finally came the day of my photo shoot with Sarah and holy cow! First hour and a half was spent with Renee getting my hair and makeup done. She turned me into a movie star. Seriously she made me look amazing. Then Sarah spent a good amount of time helping me weed through all of the stuff that I had brought. (Seriously, it looked like I was moving in!) We picked 3 outfits  to work with that day. Let me tell you, walking out of that dressing room in my underwear, knowing that I was going to get my picture taken, in my underwear, just brought a new wave of nerves back to me.  But Sarah is unflappable, within minutes she had me laughing and following directions and enjoying myself and the next thing I knew the day had flown by we had gone through three outfits. I can't even begin to count how many photos and I had had a great time. I had laughed more than I had in almost 2 years. But wait, within the hour I got to sit in Sarah's little office and look at her computer screen with her at my pictures untouched, totally raw and was completely mind blown! Not only did Renee make me look like a movie star in the morning but that afternoon I saw frame after frame after frame of myself looking truly like a movie star. And I grew up in Southern California my dad was in the film industry I know what movie stars look like and the girl on that screen will look a lot like them. Oh and did I just refer to myself as a girl at the time I was 63! I loved my picture so much I spent twice as much as I got a collection twice as big as I had thought I would and I'm happy to say that I have one of my pictures hanging in my living room and anyone who comes to my house gets to see it. I'm so proud of how beautiful I look to that day and every time I see it, it reminds me that that's me! That beautiful woman in that picture is really me! Or maybe I should say is the real me. But that's just the first chapter of my story. Last weekend just 3 days ago Sarah and I executed something that we'd been talking about for around 7 months. I had always wanted to do a particular type of photo shoot. I'd always wanted to have my picture taken embracing my own particular form of spirituality in my photos. With Sarah's encouragement and direction, I found inspiration I shared with her and over the course of a few weeks we made a plan. Just 3 days ago, my second shoot with Sarah was my witchy boudoir dream come true. This time I was far more excited than nervous & this time Renee made me look like Betty Page meets Elvira and I couldn't have been happier. Again I purchased More than I planned because the pictures were so damn good! I had to have as many of them as possibly. I don't know your story but I know you have one. And I feel like most of us you could use a little uplifting. That is precisely what Sarah Williams at Mirror's Edge photography does. She is a champion of women of all ages, shapes, sizes,creed's, colors, spiritualities and economic resources. She embraces and lifts you up. With the help of Renee every woman who walks into her studio walks out feeling like a Queen. And it doesn't end that day! When you get your pictures take them home, hang your pictures in your home, put them in places where you can see them and every time you do, you're reminded of The magic that was made that day . The magic that is you!
