My wife and I hired Audrey Rose to do a photo session with our puppy a few years ago. She did an…read moreamazing job at a very fair price that included photo editing like the removal of a leash/collar from the puppy's neck in one of the photos. I'm using a photo from that session as my profile photo. I always forget her business name, so I'm posting this review so that I can refer to it whenever anyone asks me who took our puppy photos that are on our walls. I've recommended Audrey Rose many times to friends and would use her services again if I needed a professional photographer.

A photo session with Audrey is as wonderful as it gets! I met Audrey Christmas before last when…read moreshe generously volunteered her time photographing pets with Santa for our mutual vet, The Drake Center. All proceeds went directly to one of our local shelters that does amazing work helping pets find homes. She held a drawing for families who brought their pets in for a full photo session and our family was one of the lucky winners. We had our full family (two leggeds and four leggeds) photographed with her a few months later and it was truly an amazing experience. Audrey's professionalism and talent are beyond compare, but what really made her stand out in my mind was her ability to "read" our family and capture us just as we are. An example of this is our youngest daughter, who can tend to be a stinker when she's nervous or out of her element. Audrey was completely patient with her and waited until she was able to relax enough to be photographed. We weren't rushed in any way - she took her time and got some amazing shots of our girls, our pets and our whole family. I have come to love Audrey, not only for her professional talent, but for her personality and spirit. She is wonderful to work with but even better to know.

I stumbled upon Tristan Quigley when I was researching another photographer who came recommended to…read moreme and I am so glad I did! I was in charge of organizing a multigenerational family session with some hard people to please. I was drawn to her pictures, the lighting and the way she captured families. Everyone in our group agreed that Tristan was amazing. Tristan went above and beyond with her communication through the entire planning process, offering to accommodate the unfortunate weather circumstances during Christmas weekend. She showed up with a very warm demeanor and was professional and kind throughout the entire ordeal. She was even able to cheer up the kids who became fussy during the session. Not only was the actual photo session fun and organized, the final product exceeded our expectations. I cannot say enough good things about Tristan, I highly recommend her and look forward to using her in the future.

Tristan was the best choice we could have made for our first child's newborn photos…read more He came early so we had a small window of opportunity, but she fit us in and left no professional detail behind. The end product turned out amazing and our experience was beyond great. She does in-home shoots which made us feel more comfortable with a young little one, and allowed us to use his nursery and our dog in the shots! Her quality was amazing and her talent and patience were key to the process. We can't wait to use her again!

The first thing I noticed about Tiffany was her speed of response and how accurate she was in describing what she did, how long it took, where to do it and what it cost. Then came the emails and the texts with examples and a to-do list. I was to send her pictures of myself in outfits - and she commented on each one with her professional eye and we chose three. She was also incredibly flexible on where to shoot. On the day of the shoot, I was incredibly surprised at her eye to detail, willingness to take a million shots, constant change in her own positions and the ease with which she made me feel at home. It did not end there. A week later, I had a zoom apt with her that blew me away. I wanted to buy all of them but decided on five. Just excellent work! Tiffany is amazing - I am hoping soon I can get my entire team's shots with her. Thank you Tiffany!

If you get the chance, work with Tiffany. You'll be so happy you did.

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! You won't be disappointed! Loop

We were quite nervous, as our son isn't exactly always cooperative, but Jessica wasn't frazzled in the least, and just totally put our minds at ease. Even though it seemed like our son cried for most of the shoot (toddlers!), Jessica promised she got tons of great shots of him smiling, and she DID! We were so pleasantly surprised when we saw the photos, ha! Jessica was fantastic to work with from the very beginning, offering lots of help with wardrobe choices, location choices, etc. We couldn't be happier with the outcome of our photoshoot and can't wait to hire Jessica again for more photos :) Thank you, Jessica!!!!

There aren't enough words of praise in the English language for Shaun of Top Shelf Photo! We were…read morelucky enough to find him on Yelp for our engagement photos, and in mid-November of 2024 he braved the chill of Palomar Mountain to take spectacular photos of us. Nonstop compliments from friends and family, and received much quicker than anticipated. Once we got into wedding planning, Shaun was the obvious choice for our photography needs. Along with his second shooter Jess (Jessica Christie Photography), he again knocked it out of the park. Couldn't have asked for more perfect photos. On a more personal note, Shaun is the above-and-beyond type of person to take the absolute best shots possible. Like, fixing the boutonniere on my suit himself for the exact right angle, or gently shoo'ing away stinkbugs while helping my wife to re-tie her wedding shoes type of person. His passion and dedication for his craft are inspiring, and I guarantee if you don't love being in photos as a general rule (like myself) he will absolutely put you at ease and make it look like you've been modeling all your life. Thank you for everything Shaun, from the bottom of our hearts.

I was nervous about choosing a newborn photographer that I would be happy with, especially because it was my first baby. Jen exceeded my expectations above and beyond! We are so thankful that we found her on Yelp with a simple internet search. She was so kind and gentle while placing our baby in each unique pose. She makes the whole experience very fun and relaxing while you get to sit back and watch the whole photoshoot. She has many cute props and blankets that you can help her choose to use in the pictures of your little one. Jen is also very professional and upfront with all of her pricing. Her website and different packages are easy to understand unlike many of the other photographers websites I looked at while researching. She works quickly and gets the digital images sent to you as fast as she can. The pictures she took of our daughter are a timeless keepsake that we will cherish forever! We can't wait to use Jen again for our future babies. Book a session with her today, you will definitely be glad you did!

Holly and Bruce did my engagement and wedding photos. They were so fun to work with…read more My fiancé and I got a referral for them through our wedding planner. Our main concern was we needed a photography team that was just as excited about our same-sex wedding as we were. After visiting with 3 potential photography companies we knew Holly Ireland was the most fun and of course had the best style to their photography. During our engagement session I think we worked them for the entire time we were entitled to. Three different locations all over San Diego County. Never once did they complain. Finally, for our wedding, they worked their butt off and produced photos that were beautiful and Instagram worthy. Being "customers for life" Holly shot our Christmas photos as well. She was great with kids. I can't wait to work with them again.

Melanie was so encouraging and made sure to make each person feel included. Melanie chose a unique location and offered great recommendations on colors, outfits, and accessories. Then she set the timeline to allow for several options of groupings and individual shots for our kids. Melanie brought an assistant with her which seemed to make the difference with lighting and flashes. The super fun part was getting to see a couple tiny previews in her camera display of the progress. We could tell how excited Melanie was, which made us even more excited. A few short days later and we were back in the studio reviewing the gorgeous images. Melanie did such an amazing job it made it hard to choose! We selected one family group for a very large canvas print. The quality and clarity was impeccable.
