This includes newborn, 3 month, 6 month, 9 month and one year photos. So far she's done the first three (my baby is now 7 1/2 months old) and I freaking LOVE all the photos I've received so far! Jillian was flexible and knows perfect locations for photo sessions. For our newborn session, she came to my house (if a newborn photographer doesn't do this, don't hire them. New moms should not be traveling!) and was patient throughout the whole session. The three month photos were also at my home, and the six month photos were at a nearby park that she's familiar with. I can't wait for the next two sessions! If you live in the Bay Area, hire her. You won't be disappointed. She's fun, has lots of props and clothes for babies, and has a great eye. Plus she will get your kids and babies to smile. That's a gift right there, seriously. I wish I'd gotten professional photos done of my son when he was born in 2011. I'm so grateful that he was included in some of our daughter's newborn shots - better late than never! I will definitely be hiring her for future family sessions.

Jillian did amazing work taking my newborn son's photos. She was exceptionally patient and…read morecommitted to getting great poses and photographs, something no easily accomplished with newborns. We were thrilled with the end result! More so, I can testify to Jillian's commitment to excellence; she assured me if for any reason we were not absolutely ecstatic with our photographs she would be more than happy to provide a complimentary shoot until she met with our satisfaction. After having a series of disappointments with other photographers, I can safely say Jillian has restored my faith in the profession. I will be more than happy to hire her in the future as my family grows and will encourage others to do the same.

I first learned of Brittany through Facebook as several of my friends had liked pictures she…read moreposted. The pictures were ethereal and as I was in my third trimester of pregnancy, I was looking for a newborn photographer. I contacted her through FB messenger and she got back to me quickly to set up a date. She was very helpful in coordinating what my family should wear, tips for bringing the baby to the session and asking what types of backgrounds/shots we were interested in. She wanted us to feel 100% prepared. The main thing while working with her, we never felt like we were being rushed. She took her time, was incredibly patient with the baby and my two crazy older boys, and worked a shot until she felt it was perfect. She has a passion for family that can be seen in each picture. She caputured some truly beautiful moments that my family will forever treasure. I would definitely recommend her if you are looking for beautiful, natural, and heart warming photos! In a nut shell: easy contract, easy payment, quick correspondence, friendly, reasonable and well worth it investment. She delivered the product earlier than estimated, super sweet and easy to work with, collaborative and above all a professional and talented photographer! I would definitely recommend her to my family and friends and I can't wait to see her next year for Olivia's 1 year pictures/ updated family pictures!

I received professional quality photos of all my guests, decor, and special moments. She was also nearing 9 months pregnant at the time and such a trooper! My husband, 10 month old baby and I just did a family shoot with Brittany and we couldn't be more pleased. The booking process was great. Quick responses, flexible schedule, and really accommodating to the locations I had in mind. The day we planned to shoot ended up being a rainy day and she easily rescheduled to the following weekend. Again, our photos are beautiful and priceless. We got 10 sneak peaks within 24 hours which was so fun!! We also got the rest of our photos quickly which I was really pleased about. We'll definitely be using Brittany again!

We were on our honeymoon when our highlight film came out and watched it right away (during our dinner) and balled my eyes out. Stacey has a talent and made the film amazing! Kelly is a hoot to work with and can make any woman feel special/beautiful. You can just feel the passion she has for her work! They really make you feel like they are just as happy to be apart of your special day as you are having them- which is very touching.

I am a photographer based out of the east bay but photographs in all cities in the San Francisco Bay Area. I love all things love, chaos and raw emotions.

From the very beginning communication and professionalism was above and beyond! We knew we wanted a beach shoot at sunset and he recommended a time, showed up punctual with a very warm, welcoming vibe. Now I am not a model, nor do I think I'm photogenic at all but the whole shoot was sooooooo comfortable! His insight and expertise was something that was very obvious and you can tell he genuinely loves doing this! I felt so comfortable, beautiful and supported during our shoot and the photos came out PHENOMENAL! The overall experience from start to finish was truly very special to me. And I'm soooo thankful and happy we chose to work with Rossetti Photography! I would give 100 stars if I could! Thanks again for this amazing experience !

If you are looking for newborn photos, look no further! Nataliya's eye for photo composition is…read morefantastic, and she is very attentive to every detail. Her studio has SO many options it was hard for me to chose what props I wanted to use with my baby. Unfortunately I procrastinated booking my newborn photography session; my baby was almost a month old and refused to sleep and was quite fussy. Nataliya was so patient, helpful, and even took the time to try to rock him to sleep. I was flustered and she made it very clear that we could take the time we needed to settle him down. Despite the baby being overtired and uncooperative, Nataliya still managed to get some incredible shots. I can't wait to get my birth announcements out!

I found Nataliya merely by looking for a local photographer in the Brentwood/Oakley area. We wanted…read moreto do an outdoor family photo shoot and Nataliya recommended a great area to get the look we wanted - the Marsh Creek Regional Trail. She suggested we meet in the late afternoon to capture the best light. We had six family members and she was especially patient with the kids. Not only was Nataliya patient, she was professional, on-time, and affordable. I have found that many photographers charge a high sitting fee and you get 30 minutes to get everything done. Nataliya spent well over an hour with us and took pictures of us as a group and in our smaller family clusters so we could have all options to purchase. We surprised my in-laws at their 50th anniversary party with a canvas portrait and they were thrilled. It turned out great! Our family highly recommends Nataliya and we will use her services again for an extended family photo shoot in the near future.

I came across Kree's Yelp page because of how close she was, but what really stood out was her website--the caliber and vibrancy of her photos were incredible. I knew right away she'd be a perfect fit for capturing my niece, both in her cap and gown and in her super colorful prom dress (which I was confident Kree could do justice!). From the moment I reached out, Kree was super responsive and easy to communicate with. The contract was simple and straightforward, pricing was fair and the breakdown of her packages were awesome. and she helped us agree on a time and location that worked perfectly, not far from our house either, which was a huge plus. On the day of the shoot, Kree arrived right on time and immediately made my niece feel comfortable. Since it was my niece's first time being professionally photographed, I appreciated how Kree guided her with poses and gave her direction to bring out her best angles. She was friendly, patient, and made the whole experience fun. We received the edited photos about two weeks later, and they were amazing, better than I could have imagined. Kree truly captured my niece's personality and the significance of the moment. Highlights for me: super responsive communication, an easy-to-understand contract, a convenient location, her friendly demeanor, and of course, the beautiful final photos. Thanks so much Kree!!!
