10/10!!!! My experience with Afsoon was absolutely amazing from the first moment I walked in her…read morestudio to the moment I walked out. This was my first ever maternity photoshoot and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. She is extremely professional and very prepared in working with pregnant mothers. She makes sure you have enough breaks, you are at ease and you feel comfortable before anything else. That day was very warm outside and I needed to take breaks to sit down or to drink water, I also asked her if she had a fan and that made the biggest difference for me. She was suggesting poses and supporting my ideas as well. She's kind, gentle and again extremely professional. I will recommend her a thousand percent, and I will work with her again in the future. The studio is a beautiful space with all of the material needed for stunning pictures and memories. I am 100% happy with her work and the pictures makes me emotional every time I look at them. THANK YOU AFSOON!

If I could give Afsoon 10 stars, I would--without hesitation. From start to finish, working with…read moreher was an absolute dream. She is the perfect blend of professional, warm, loving, and wildly talented. From the moment we started, I felt completely at ease knowing my baby's safety was her top priority. She was incredibly cautious, clean, and intentional with every single detail, which meant everything to me as a parent. And somehow--on top of all that--she made the entire experience SO fun. Truly joyful, light, and effortless. Afsoon doesn't just take photos... she creates literal magic. The kind you feel in the moment and then relive every time you look at the images. Her attention to detail is next-level, and she is hands down one of the best photographers I've ever worked with. Every pose, every angle, every tiny adjustment was done with care and artistry. And as if she wasn't already amazing enough, her daughter being there to help was the sweetest bonus--such a beautiful, heartwarming addition to an already incredible experience. I cannot recommend Afsoon highly enough. If you're considering working with her, do it. You will walk away with stunning photos, full hearts, and the feeling that you were part of something really special.

Where do I start?…read more Karen is such a hidden jewel of a photographer. Our pastor/officiant recommended her after previously working with her on another project. From the onset, she was extremely responsive and communicative in both texts and over the phone. Karen worked with us on our "shotgun wedding", which was a daunting three-part series: (1) an outdoor wedding on a point along San Francisco / San Pablo Bay (with fog and wind compounding fast-changing temperatures and lighting conditions); (2) an indoor lunch reception with lots of moving parts in a relatively packed space (with poor lighting and limited angles); (3) back outdoors again, but this time, on the range with gunfire surrounding her while she's handling the camera. We also didn't keep the pressure off before the wedding: my best friend and "Man of Honor" is a professional photographer as well... he purposely asked to NOT photograph the wedding as he wanted to participate and be part of it, so Karen had to deal with me as a process engineer (nearly everything was metered out, with timed intervals down to the minute) and Mark with his technical background performing assessments. Armed with a four-page laundry list of shots and a Pinterest account as our Image Board, we shared the shots that were "absolute musts" and planned a solid 5-6 hour day. Karen delivered! She captured every shot we asked for. She also captured the playfulness, the solemnity, the posed portraits, and the candid interactions between my husband, my best friends, and our guests. Though the wedding was on Friday last week, we received the photos this evening (a Monday, three days later) and just spent the last hour grinning and laughing at the wonderful photos. Where Karen really shines is her outdoor photos. I can't recommend her enough.

Karen is really amazing!! We did our newborn session with her and the photos came out beautiful!!…read moreWe had a wonderful experience with her right from scheduling until delivery of pictures. She provided all outfits, decors and settings for the photo session, so all you have to do is schedule the time. Her outfits and accessories for our baby girl were so cute and had so many gorgeous options. She was CREATIVE and PATIENT with my kids and somehow even got them smile and look at the camera!! She was a real baby whisperer and was able to tame my baby's fussiness so well. We never felt rushed with time and the atmosphere she had a very calming vibe. Thank you for the beautiful photos we love them!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Marissa as our photographer in Hawaiʻi, and we…read morecouldn't recommend her more highly. She captured our first family vacation photos with our baby, and the experience was truly seamless from start to finish. From our very first contact, Marissa was super professional, responsive, and incredibly easy to communicate with. On the day of the shoot, she went above and beyond--she even picked up my lei pōʻo from another vendor early in the morning at 6am so we could focus entirely on our family and the moment. During the session, she was warm, calm, and so easy to talk to, which made the experience feel natural and stress-free (especially important when photographing a baby!). Her turnaround time was faster than expected, and when we received the gallery, we were blown away--the photos turned out absolutely beautiful and captured our family so perfectly. These images mark such a special milestone for us, and we'll treasure them forever. If you're looking for a photographer in Hawaiʻi who is talented, dependable, and genuinely thoughtful, Marissa is amazing.

Just wanted to make a quick shoutout to Marissa HB for doing an amazing photoshoot for us! I…read moresearched high and low for a photographer that we would possibly like and just felt a great vibe with her from the start. We had such an amazing time and our kids felt so comfortable that they were their true genuine selves during our time together.

We couldn't recommend her enough for getting some timeless photos of your family that you'll cherish forever! Reach out to her asap!

I have three kids 4 and under and she was amazing with them and made all the kids feel comfortable with her and was able to capture not only some candid moments, but some great posed photos as well! Before the shoot, she did a "day in the life" where she photographed us doing our day to day activities and getting ready for the actual shoot. I have since used her to do an athletic shoot for myself and she was once again a doll, so fun, and professional. Kathryn is so well-rounded and GREAT at doing multiple types of shoots for any occasion big or small and makes you feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. We will be doing all our photos with KATHRYN for sure!!

Best photo shoot experience of my life! Kathryn was super fun to work with, which put me and my…read morefamily immediately at ease. We then just sort of walked around and sat here, stood there, tried this, tried that. Super relaxed. Didn't need to force any smiles because I was actually enjoying myself! And then a few days later we get the photos back and each one was a work of art. Grandma called as soon as she saw them and was beside herself with how beautiful they all were! I felt like a celebrity. :)

She has captured SO many priceless pictures that we will hold dear for years to come! I can't wait to book her again for all our family photo needs. I should also mention that she is AMAZING with babies and made our feisty 5 month old smile in most of our photos with ease. I can't say enough good things - you're in such good hands and I only wish I had met her before our wedding so I could have hired her for that too!

I am ALWAYS impressed by how stunningly beautiful Desirae's photos are. I have not yet been…read morefortunate enough to do an official shoot with her (but 10/10 recommend her every time someone asks, and will be booking her soon) however she has taken many impromptu photos of myself and our friends group. My favorite photos she's taken were those she took right after my fiancé proposed to me. She truly captured all our the quirkiness and love we share, and I will cherish them forever. Desirae is amazing, she takes her time with her photos and is truly passionate about what she does and capturing life's most special moments. Not to mention she's a light in any room or situation and will make your shoot easy and fun! Highly recommend!!

Fantastic newborn photos! I was impressed with the toy attachments Corinne had for her camera to…read morekeep my children more engaged in the process, it was rather genius. The photos she captured are stunning, the clean white background really allows the subject (baby/family/etc) to be front and center. She also had plenty of snacks to keep everyone fueled up. Corinne is definitely a baby whisperer because I needed to change my son's diaper when we arrived, which woke him up, and she was able to work her magic to get him back asleep. Corinne has a very warm and engaging personality, so I felt very comfortable being photographed by her. I would highly recommend her for newborn photos, and I wish we found her sooner for my older children.

Kaitlyn was amazing to work with. I booked one of her Bay Area fall mini sessions for our family…read morephotos and the booking process was super easy. Our location was beautiful and Kaitlyn truly captured our family and our personalities perfectly. My toddler boys, age 4 and 1.5, loved her. But the best compliment came from my husband who said it was the most fun he'd had at a family photo session before (and we take photos yearly/multiple times a year). He said it was so laid back, stress free and fun. Thank you, Kaitlyn, for providing a fun experience and beautiful photos we will cherish forever!
