Olguta made my dreams come true, simply put. Body image is tough when you're pregnant, but truly she is a mastermind at identifying everyones angles, beauty and directs the shoot so wonderfully. Its a true talent many photographers lack. Never in my life have I been so in love with every picture. It was impossible to make a choice, so naturally we bought the whole album. The whole experience, from booking, her taking the time to survey and find out each individual clients interests, wants, etc. to joining her at her AMAZING Oceanside studio, it was like you were a celebrity for the day. Also, I must add Olguta is the kindest, most welcoming beautiful person inside and out, she made me feel extremely comfortable during this entire process. This is a MUST if you are expecting, it is my wish that every expecting mama gets this experience. BOOK HER today, you will not regret it! Thank you Olguta!

Olguta was soo welcoming the moment I stepped into her studio and made me feel comfortable & beautiful the whole time in front of the camera. She has so many gorgeous dresses to choose from. Quick turn around time with sneak peek & final edits (especially with the holiday season coming up.) I am so happy with the way the photos came out. Thank you again for your amazing work! 100% recommend her!!

She did not use many props so the photos have a minimalist vibe, which I preferred. She gave my son gentle encouragement and let me know how I could help keep him comfortable. Her technique as well as her calm and fun demeanor allowed my son to open up and be himself. It made for some really wonderful photos. She is a very talented photographer!

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!

After a quick phone call to go over the details, he immediately jumped into action and made the entire process stress free. Shaun captured our proposal perfectly and delivered absolutely stunning photos that exceeded every expectation. On top of that, he sent us sneak peeks the very next day, which made us even more excited to see the full gallery. Throughout the experience, Shaun was professional, patient, experienced, and attentive to what we wanted. He made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and captured every special moment beautifully. If you're looking for someone who is passionate about their work, I can't recommend Shaun enough. I would absolutely hire him again!!

She is such a sweet person and so enjoyable to work with. It was really easy to communicate with her and set up the photo session. We felt comfortable right away and had fun during the whole shoot. Since we were taking photos with our little one, it was nice to work with another mom who understood how to get his attention and how to direct us best. She got a lot of different shots throughout the park and listened to the type of backgrounds we wanted while making suggestions of what would look best. The time went by so quickly because we were just loving each moment and having fun. When I was searching for family photographers on Instagram, her page stuck out to me because her photos have a certain type of "look" - from her technique to her editing, it's all just beautiful. The photos she took are stunning and we're so happy with the post production she did. We highly recommend Devina if you're looking for a photographer in San Diego!

‼DO NOT BOOK WITH NEKA RAE PHOTOGRAPHY‼ long post ahead…read more She says her business is non-existent now, but I still have to warn anyone I can. WORST experience of my life. Basically, we chose to book with Neka Rae in February, right before Covid hit. We booked her for maternity, birth, & fresh 48 photos. We agreed upon $1785 she had kept mentioning how she would do a vision board prior to photos, as if that is what made her standout. (We never got one, even after asking). Due to covid and a planned c section we could no longer do the birth photos. I had asked her multiple times what we were going to do instead, honestly hitting for some sort of refund because almost $2k is A LOT of money. She insisted upon doing maternity, newborn, 3, 6, 9, & 12 month photos. (I now know it's because she had already spent it.) I agreed with hesitation. She was always hard to communicate with and I always got late responses. She showed up to our maternity session late & with her family of 6. I thought it was weird, but whatever. They stayed near their car. The photos turned out great. But, she herself set her own deadline & I had to reach out to her twice asking where the photos were. If she hadn't told me herself how long it would take to get them back, I wouldn't have made it such a big deal. Don't promise something and not stick to it. But the real kicker. We had planned a day for newborn photos, 8 days postpartum/my baby was 8 days old. Prior to this she had gotten robbed apparently which was her excuse for being late on delivering photos. In texts, she said she had a backup camera so not to worry. The day came of the newborn session, here I am, 8 days PP & recovering from a c section & I got all done up. Ate a light lunch. She texted me saying she was running a bit late because she had to pick up her camera in north park. Ok, no worries. Long story short- she was almost THREE hours late. Didn't update me. & somehow ended up in Clairemont Mesa. See texts below. I was so upset becsuse hormones & I had gotten full on ready and we planned our whole day around this. Plus, my newborn was actually awake while we were waiting. I started crying and getting upset because your first baby is only a newborn once I told her to just forget it because at that point my makeup was messed up and I was upset- not how I wanted to remember my baby's first photos. She then began to play victim. I told her it wasn't working out and I just wanted my money back because I didn't want to keep on texting her and her ending up being late or not showing up. Basically she was very unreliable and unprofessional. I threatened legal action. But then, my husband and I decided it wasn't worth the stress on top of being new parents. So we agreed to $100/month becsuse "that's all she could afford." So basically a whole nother year of dealing with her. We got our first payment- late. It's now time for our second payment and she is ghosting us yet again. Basically we are never getting our money back lol. Her only review on Yelp is basically someone going through the same thing. I've met another military wife who agreed to milestone photos and she isn't even delivering on her end- ghosting her and has yet to fulfill the 6 month photos. She also didn't show up for this woman's maternity photos, she had to do them the next day. For the love of everything, DO NOT TRUST THIS WOMAN. Do not book with her. The worst experience of my life. We are out $1785 with only maternity pictures to show for it. Also- never pay in full until you receive your photos Thanks for reading lol. I just do not want anyone to have to go through this.
