What cUSTOMER are saying...

Here's what some of our client are saying about the results they're seeing!
Family portraits on the beach in Newport beach
"Thank you, you were amazing to work with, and I am so happy to have met you. I absolutely LOVE all of our port portraits!"

(Kim)

Orange County family beach portraits

Family beach photography session on Table Rock beach in Laguna Beach.
"I have to say that in our rat race world, when we rarely slow down and enjoy what we have, your pictures are the biggest "Holy_____" reminders of how fortunate we are to have each other... and the biggest "duh" moments of why we work so hard.

I guess it is why we like taking family portraits every now and then. Family portraits really do have a way of putting things into perspective and reminding us what is important in this world!

We received the album this week and are blown away! This is the most gorgeous quality and color I’ve ever seen. I worked for a photo album for over five years and this is absolutely stunning! I want to thank you for not only the amazing photos of our family but also for making the session a memorable and fun part of our vacation! We are going to treasure these photos and that day forever! You’re whole team was wonderful to work with and we appreciate everything so very much!

I’m not sure when we will make it back out to California but when we do we will certainly book another session! Thank you!!!

Dear Kristin and Brittany,

A HUGE thank you for the beautiful work on our photo album and prints. We are thrilled with the way Kristin captured our family at the beach and created a beautiful album of fun shots and poses (including our beloved pup, Quinn!) The quality of the prints is wonderful and we can't wait to frame and hang these in a special spot in our home. The only remaining item is the metal - can't wait to see how that turned out!

Brittany, you were so patient and helpful during the process of selecting finishes and sizes.

Thank you both!!

Trish Anastos

 Celebrate those you love.
