When I looked into Bay Area photographers for a fun and relatively informal photo session with my…read moresignificant other, I found no shortage of options, but one website and portfolio truly stood out -- Nightingale Photography. I knew from the moment I saw her work that Christina was going to be the right choice, and she did not disappoint. Tons of positives: - she was easy to communicate and plan with, even when I wanted to switch one of my locations the week of the shoot - she made us both feel comfortable in front of the camera, which is no small task - she was flexible with my ideas, but also brought her own to the table - photos were back even sooner than I'd expected, and were of the quality I'd seen on her website But I think what I liked best was Christina herself. She was extremely pleasant to work with, and treated my casual event with the same professionalism and respect that she would a wedding. She had very positive presence and brought a really good energy and enthusiasm to the shoot. She was a lot of fun and brought out the best in my partner and me. I'm so glad I selected Christina and Nightingale Photography, and she would absolutely be my first choice if I were to need a photographer again. Thank you!

Truly the best of the best! Not only did the photos come out absolutely stunning and perfect (and…read moreI'm a tough critic) but during the photo shoot, Christina was SO lovely.

Because of our tight schedule we didn't have many options, but she was able to accommodate and fit us in a morning session at the last minute. She had offered to shoot the photos at her barn and the location was awesome, it was exactly what we were looking for. She was great working with our small children. She was patient and did an awesome job engaging with them and trying to get their attention or make them laugh and smile. The photos turned out great and she was very fun and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend Janice and would not hesitate to work with her again.

I was a little hesitant at first because I knew that most photo shoots gave certain time frames but in this case Janice took her time. The photos came out amazing and both my partner and I had nothing but good things to talk about after our photo session. I can not stress enough how she took the time to take not only a few photos but more than 100+ and gave us the option to sort through them to pick and choose which photos we thought were best for us. Thank you again for such an amazing experience for our newborn.

Alicia is a magician, she made an open field with crazy wind and direct sun look like the most epic background! She has such a great eye for photos, is incredibly flexible when nature or newborns don't cooperate (as ours didn't), and honestly made both shoots really fun. Alicia posed us, made us laugh, and gave us a chance to be ourselves, but best of all she captured photos that I will treasure for a lifetime. Couldn't recommend Alicia more, and will be calling her again and again for family photos

Sandy is truly one of the most skilled newborn/family photographers in the bay area! I was lucky to…read morefind Sandy 4 years ago with my first born and the newborn photos ended up being incredible! It was an easy decision to go back to her with our second baby. Here are some of the ways that Sandy truly stood out: - Both our babies were born around Christmas holiday and scheduling was not an issue at all for Sandy. She checked in ahead of the appointment to ensure we didn't need to reschedule (much needed for parents that just gave birth recently) and had our themes ready prior to us arriving. - The themes were 10/10, better than what we could've envisioned ourselves. And our themes were generic such as lemon or Christmas. - The amount of patience Sandy has is seriously amazing! Our second baby was a bit harder to photograph compared to the first, in addition to a toddler who wasn't in the mood for pictures, and it didn't phase Sandy at all. She took her time to make sure she was able to capture each theme well and had tips up her sleeve to get the toddler to take some pictures. I highly recommend going with Sandy if you're considering photo sessions! She goes above and beyond to ensure all the special moments are captured and the pictures are so incredibly worth it.

I'm truly delighted to share my experience working with Sandy! Her communication was wonderful from…read morethe very beginning, from arranging the appointment and customizing the scene setup to sending the photos. Everything went so smoothly. I am really impressed by her talent with infants and children; she was fantastic with my newborn and my 2-year-old. Her ability to craft stunning scenes is also incredible. And when it comes to her photography and editing skills, they are truly outstanding--just look at the edited photos, they're absolutely stunning! You won't be disappointed with Clairbare Studios and Sandy's gift for capturing beautiful, lasting memories of your little ones.
