Wow... The Salty Studio is truly something special!…read more From the very beginning, Katelin made the entire experience feel warm, inviting, and thoughtfully personalized. She took the time to really understand the vision I had for my photoshoot and the types of moments I wanted captured, which made everything feel so intentional and meaningful. I booked a session for my older pup and my daughter (and even jumped in for a few photos myself!), and Katelin was absolutely incredible with both of them. She was so patient, especially with my fur baby, and so natural with my daughter--guiding her with poses that fit her age, making her laugh, and keeping things fun and light the entire time. What really stood out to me was how unrushed the session felt. Unlike other photoshoots where you feel like you're on the clock, Katelin created a relaxed environment where we could explore different backdrops, props, and ideas without any pressure. It made such a difference. She has an amazing eye and such a creative vision--it's clear she's incredibly talented and experienced. We even got to see a few glimpses of the photos during the session, and they were SO cute! I also saw some of her past work printed, and the quality is absolutely impeccable. This wasn't just a photoshoot--it was an experience. I'm already so excited to see the final images and would highly recommend Katelin to anyone looking to capture special moments, especially with family or pets. She's truly amazing!

They really work hard to get good shots. Ginger is a very shy dog so the first part of our shoot was them just trying to let her open up by playing with her and giving her treats. She definitely opened up after a while that's why she got the oh so beloved tennis ball shot! My husband and I are not the best models either and we wanted to be in the photos. They taught us some poses to look decent in the pictures. They really work with you and your preferences--they make sure you absolutely love the prints and the photos you end up with. We had an incident where one of the prints had smudged ink which was very minimal--, but they went above and beyond to literally drive to our home to switch out the framed prints just to make sure we have them perfect! We loved how every framed print turned out. Was definitely a pleasure to work with them. Thank you!!!!

Most recently, she did a shoot for my 12 year old pittie and my two belgian malinois. I traveled from the San Francisco Bay Area just to be able to work with her again.

I couldn't be happier with the photos, and I can't wait to have some prints made for my home! Alicia's talent is beyond compare, and I am so blessed to have had the chance to work with her again! Thank you so much Alicia for everything you have done for me and my pack!!!

We was absolutely amazing with our two dogs, 1 male Havanese who is 5 years old named Mac and a female havanese-poodle mix, Maizie. They are both pretty good with me and my husband when off leash in a busy area but they are pretty against paparazzi and usually we can barely get a good photo of them on our own. Alicia was awesome she picked out this great park in Santa Monica and even though we were 15 minutes late due to traffic coming up from Redondo Beach she was already set up and done scouting and ready to shoot! She made both me and my husband feel very comfortable for the shoot, especially since we are extremely awkward together in photos... and more importantly Alicia made our pups feel SUPER at home. Our little Maizie is a stray and is usually super scared of strangers but she didn't even bark at Alicia at all and was even open to letting Alicia pet her while we were doing solos with Mac. She was also really great at getting the dog's attention and she was very hands-on and active trying to get the best shot, even laying in the grass or on her knees with her 'knee pads' LOL. On top of how much fun we had with our pups, Alicia shot with us for over an hour instead of the 30 minute package we paid for AND she got our best photos to us within the day! It was an amazing experience! We honestly can't wait to shoot with her again, but this time probably her doggy lifestyle package so we can just have great photos of our pups playing around together! We highly recommend her to anyone who has a fur baby :)

For Leo and Kumo's August birthdays, we chose family photos as a way to hold on to what we can never truly keep: time. Thank you, Melissa from Be Here Now Photography, for capturing what words can't express. These photos freeze the fleeting moments of our pups and babies growing up together, a bittersweet reminder that their lives are short, but their love lasts forever. Melissa made everything so easy and was incredibly patient, even with two toddlers and four dogs! If you're looking for someone who can beautifully capture your pets and family, highly recommend Be Here Now Photography.

I took both cards, not ready to face what I was still grieving. I stashed them away in a box and then a few years ago I was finally ready to do a tribute and memorial for Willow. I remembered clearly Be Here Now and I remembered how beautifully she photographed and what her purpose was behind what she did. It was a day in October that one of her events popped up on my Facebook. I wasn't able to attend however I asked if she could do a session for me and Briley and a memory of Willow too and if she had any special packages like that. She gave me some packages and let me choose. She beautifully and so kindly helped me through what was all these memories I had kept and narrowed them down into what her ideas were with what mine were. I am creative, but she is BEYOND creative and take every moment from the first email, the prepping, the photo session and then the review of your photos with such LOVE and PASSION! We both know the pain of losing an animal either too soon or when it was their time, and understand that each day is a BLESSING from above and to take each moment, live in it with JOY, PURPOSE and LOVE! Every day is a new day and we cant go back in time... Embrace the good and bad and keep on, keeping on, in memory of those that we have lost (animal or human). She is so patient, fun loving and an AHHMAZZING Photographer. She captures the moment and just knows how to do it naturally. That's when you know you found a PHOTGRAPHER FOR LIFE! I know and she knows, but fr all that don't know her personally like I do, THIS IS HER HEART AND SOUL and HER PURPOSE in life! You will NOT be disappointed. I will attach the photos I chose, I am sure there were 1000 more Treasured moments that she had captured. And a side note, Javier is GREAT TOO!!!! We love you guys!! XOXO Renee and Briley and Willow
