Karen definitely found her calling with photography. She puts so much behind the scenes thought and effort into her sessions, whether it's outdoors or in her studio with backdrops and props. So grateful for being introduced to Karen!

She was wonderful during our session with the adults and especially the kids.

We had a newborn photo session with Kerstin. She was…read moreextremely patient and accommodating to our needs (as in feeding, napping, diaper changes).

Diep at Warm Heart Photography is a godsend - we appreciate her patience (with us and our Filipino…read morefamilies) and being so knowledgeable about San Francisco City Hall to help us get the perfect shot every time. In planning she was open to some editing preferences of mine, a very long shot request list, and she gave us recommendations for videographers she worked with in the past and that's how we found Nelvir Pictures. For sure we wouldn't have got these amazing pictures if not for her. She spoke to other photographers and the people walking about at City Hall and advocated for us to get the space and clearance we needed when she had an idea for a shot. She was straightforward with us about navigating to our second location, Golden Gate Park/Conservatory of Flowers on a Tuesday during rush hour. She's literally the strongest photographer I know, and she even did our wedding on her birthday!! We got sneak peeks after the first week and the entire gallery back in about six weeks, though it depends on her workload. Her editing is flawless. I'm so so glad we met, we made the right choice for our big day

We are so happy we chose Warm Heart Photography (Diep) for both our engagement and wedding day…read morephotos. For our engagement shoot, she was incredibly friendly, responsive, and was very accommodating--even bringing a quick-change tent! She made sure to capture every shot we wanted from our shot list, and the photos turned out absolutely stunning and ethereal (exactly like we had envisioned). On our wedding day, Warm Heart Photography was equally amazing. Despite the hectic environment, Diep and her second shooter came prepared, was professional and adapted seamlessly to the ever changing environment. They worked hard to get every shot on our list, and the photos turned out beautiful and candid. (There were so many nice shots, that it was hard to choose our favorites!) They did such an amazing job with capturing everything on the day. We didn't have time to soak in everything around us, but with the photos, we were able to relive the day! Diep has a great work ethic and we wouldn't hesitate to refer her to our friends and family. We're so grateful for her talent, dedication, and kindness throughout the entire process. If you're looking for a photographer who truly cares about her clients and will do everything she can to capture your vision, Diep is the one!

While coordinating a shoot time, Teresa let us know that morning sessions are best, as that's when babies are typically calmer/sleepier (who knew!). The day of the shoot, we arrived to find gear and lights ready to go. She even warmed up the room and had soothing background sounds on to calm our little one. Teresa walked us through her prop and background inventory and we were able to pick the pieces that we liked. Then the shoot was off and running. Teresa is really a baby whisperer, so methodical and patient. She was able to get our little one into sweet poses that I wasn't sure were going to be possible (we have a pretty wiggly baby). Thrilled with our photos. Beautiful work.

Her kind nature and encouragement during the shoot made me relax and enjoy the process. I actually HAD FUN!! I researched hundreds of local photographers around Napa and beyond, and I choose Angie. I LOVED her style and what she does! After our phone consult, I was immediately ready to book because I KNEW she was my woman! The headshots I already had were boring, they did not capture who I am and I wanted photos that relayed my personality, and she absolutely DID! I'm really excited to get these beautiful photos out via business cards and social media to grow my real estate business. They really capture my personality - and are so DISTINCTIVE! Angie also talked me into taking some shots 'just in case' in an outfit I had brought for the shoot but didn't really "love." The shots taken in that outfit were actually my favorite!!! And the outfit I thought was going to be my favorite didn't work out so well - Angie had predicted that too! The best parts of our time together are the AMAZING PHOTOS - and meeting Angie! If you're considering getting new headshots and personal branding photos done, DO IT! This was the best investment I've made in myself! The whole experience was motivating! Just take the time to explain what you're goals are, be clear, and trust Angie. She knows what she's doing! She has a great eye for angles, setting, and a clear but fun way of directing you. The photos Angie took are honestly the best I've had taken in my LIFE - and I'm 62!!

At the start, we were unsure of how to convey what we do - provide incredible sailing adventures to small and intimate groups - and how this fantastic lifestyle could be translated into photos. Well, we nailed it! The photos Angie Capri took are so full of life, and just the spirit we wanted to convey through our marketing and advertising. We had a lot of moving pieces (literally) and people. She was very good at keeping us all organized and on track, without making it feel "staged". The whole experience felt super authentic. Angie made everyone feel welcome and comfortable. The whole group felt relaxed and free to just be themselves! I love all of the fun we all had. There was definitely never a dull moment. She was a fantastic director! Angie will make the whole experience a blast! She is professional, focused, and incredibly fun (even while battling motion sickness too!). We are beyond thrilled with our new and improved brand image. We started sharing our new photos online immediately, and can't wait to begin updating our printed marketing materials too!

On the evening of our session, she made us all feel comfortable like we were hanging out with a friend. She was amazing with our 4 year old son and Shiba Inu. My son was so comfortable that he started doing his own poses and giving suggestions on how we should pose next. Amy also has an eye for all the small details that matter - where to place hands, positioning each individual, making sure clothing and hair is right, etc. I was so impressed! The turnaround time for the pics was fast and we are so happy with how they turned out. Amy is an EXPERT in capturing natural lighting. The lighting in our photos is stunning!! We would highly recommend Amy and will turn to her for our future photo sessions!

Lily has a calm, easygoing way about her that made it feel much more relaxed than I expected. She guided me without over-directing, kept things moving efficiently, and somehow managed to get a bunch of shots I actually really like (which is saying something). The session itself was quick, but I never felt rushed. She gave me plenty of great options to choose from. I also got the final photos back about a week later, which was a nice, quick turnaround. Lily is warm, professional, and clearly knows exactly what she's doing.

Super easy to work with and got some really good shots that we are very happy with. He also took his time to help us develop our timeline in order to maximize his hours so that we could get some great pictures in. Friendly, warm and kind, while also being very focused on the job.

We honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about Jeff; From the very beginning, several weeks…read morebefore our wedding, he was absolutely amazing. What started as a photographer-client relationship quickly became a genuine friendship, and by the time our wedding arrived, it felt like Jeff was one of our friends who just happened to be there capturing every special moment. Jeff was with us for two full days, covering every part of our wedding celebrations, and he was incredible from start to finish. On Day 1, he captured our afternoon Indian Haldi ceremony at Sachin's sister's house before joining us that evening for our Welcome Party, Mendi and Henna celebrations. He made everyone feel comfortable, and he somehow managed to capture all the little moments, emotions, laughter and craziness that made the evening so special. Then came Day 2, which was the incredibly full wedding day. Jeff was there early to capture pre-ceremony photos. He then captured our multicultural wedding ceremony, followed by personal photographs, whilst somehow having time to simultaneously capture our guests throughout the cocktail hour; Jeff was with us throughout the reception into the night. Despite how much was happening over the two days, Jeff was always very calm, professional, energetic and completely on top of everything. One of the things that impressed us most was how brilliantly Jeff worked with everyone else involved in our wedding. He was in perfect sync with our videographer and wedding planner, and the three of them worked together seamlessly. He also coordinated incredibly well with the team at El Prado Hotel in Palo Alto, making sure everything ran smoothly without ever making us feel like we had anything to worry about. But beyond his incredible photography and professionalism, what really stood out was Jeff himself. Our family and friends absolutely loved him. He has such a wonderful personality and was able to blend into the celebrations while still being incredibly attentive to what needed to be captured. He made people laugh, put everyone at ease and somehow managed to be everywhere he needed to be without ever feeling intrusive. He didn't just photograph our wedding -- he became part of it. We are so grateful that Jeff was there to capture these memories for us. Looking back, we know we made the right choice, not only because of the incredible photographs he captured, but because of the experience we had with him along the way. We would recommend Jeff to anyone without hesitation. Jeff, thank you for everything. We absolutely loved having you with us.
