“ She was amazing. She was friendly and knowledge. We enjoyed working with her. I love the photos. One of my favorite activities on vacation is family pictures. Thank you, Alyse!!! ”
“ Michael was great to work with and our photos are incredible. They are so much better than I could have imagined! We needed to switch locations due to high tide so Michael suggested an alternate location, then waited 30 minutes for us to find parking. His flexibility and upbeat personality was unmatched. We would absolutely recommend Michael for anyone else visiting San Diego. ”
“ Gem is a gem!! She suggested a location change for my proposal because I was unfamiliar with San Diego. I visited my former spot the day after the proposal, and she sure was right!! The different spot she suggested was much much better. And the photos were perfect. She killed it!! ”
“ OBSESSED with how these photos turned out. She absolutely captured my vibe and matched my energy the entire shoot. I felt totally comfortable asking to do certain shots or retake things if they didn’t look perfect yet. It felt perfectly collaborative and came out incredible! ”
“ Michael was absolutely fantastic to work with! From the beginning, he made the entire experience feel relaxed, comfortable, and genuinely enjoyable. I can sometimes feel a little awkward in front of the camera, but Michael gave excellent direction with posing, movement, and expressions while still making everything feel completely natural. He understood exactly the kind of photos I was hoping for and absolutely delivered. The final photos exceeded my expectations ... I was genuinely blown away by how well they turned out. Michael is incredibly talented, professional, patient, and easy to work with, and you can tell he truly cares about capturing his clients at their best. I couldn’t be happier with the experience or the photos, and I will absolutely be booking with him again. Highly, highly recommend! ”
“ Alyse was an absolute pleasure to work with for our photoshoot! She was so patient with our rambunctious boys and captured some treasured memories of our family. We were a multigenerational group and I’m so thankful for how Alyse highlighted our family fun! She is a joyful person who genuinely takes great care of her clients. I cannot recommend her enough! ”
“ Alyse was INCREDIBLE! 10/10 would recommend! She was calm and organized while managing our group of 26! (Family Reunion). She offered a mix of posed and candid shots- and was super awesome and comfortable with the kids (even when they were timid at times.). She made sure we didn't miss any combinations or options. These photos will be special keepsakes for a very long time. ”
“ Gem was the best! She knew the spots to go to, fixed my hair when needed and was a joy to work with. Huge fan of her and her work. ”
“ Working with Mo for our San Diego babymoon was an absolute DREAM. It was the most fun photoshoot I’ve ever had and the first time I’ve done one outside of an international trip, yet it somehow felt even more special and memorable. He was incredibly kind, very attentive to detail, and so easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. Most importantly, he has a real gift for capturing moments in such a beautiful, artistic way. The photos feel natural, emotional, and timeless. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and photographer to document such a meaningful moment for us! ”
“ Michael was fantastic to work with for our 50th anniversary. He was kind and understanding, making the experience special. He went above and beyond to set us up for stunning beach photographs we'll cherish forever. ”
“ Michael was absolutely wonderful to work with! From the very beginning, he made the experience easy and stress-free for our family. He arrived on time and selected a meeting location that was very easy to access, which was especially appreciated since we had our baby and family members with us. Throughout the entire session, Michael was incredibly patient, kind, and accommodating. He made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and never rushed us, even when working with a little one. His professionalism, positive attitude, and attention to detail truly stood out. The photos turned out beautifully—honestly, this is one of the best family photoshoots we have ever had. He captured so many genuine moments and memories that we will cherish for years to come. The quality of his work exceeded our expectations, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. If you’re looking for a talented photographer who is professional, friendly, patient, and truly cares about his clients, I highly recommend Michael. We are so grateful for the amazing experience and the beautiful photos he created for our family. “Thank you, Michael, for capturing such special memories for our family. We hope to work with you again in the future!” 😊 ”
“ I genuinely cannot say enough good things about Liz. We are absolutely blown away by our photos! They are more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. Every single shot feels perfect, and I still can’t believe the quality and detail she captured. These are memories we’ll cherish forever, and she preserved them so beautifully. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she is also one of the sweetest people to work with. She made us feel comfortable from the very beginning, which is saying a lot because being in front of a camera can feel awkward sometimes. Throughout the entire session, she was so patient, kind, and thoughtful. Being pregnant with twins, I especially appreciated how often she checked in on me, made sure I was comfortable, and adjusted things whenever I needed a break. You can tell she genuinely cares about her clients and puts her whole heart into her work. We feel so lucky to have found her to capture such a special season of our lives. She deserves all the flowers and all the recognition for the amazing work she does. 10/10 would recommend her to absolutely anyone. If you’re thinking about booking with her, do it — you will not regret it. ”
“ Mo was fantastic and had such a calming presence - making the entire photoshoot easy to do and not awkward at all! He was great at finding locations that allowed for wonderful backgrounds as well as waiting for when the light would be just right! ”
“ Mo was absolutely incredible, and this session holds a very special place in our hearts. La Jolla is one of our family's favorite places to visit, and Mo beautifully captured not only the stunning coastal scenery but also the love and connection within our family. We had our 5-year-old and 3-year-old with us, along with Gigi and Grandpa, and somehow Mo managed to capture each relationship and personality so naturally. What made this session especially memorable was how relaxed and authentic it felt. The photos never felt forced or overly posed. At the end of the session, our kids got to run and play in the ocean, and Mo captured those candid moments perfectly. Some of our favorite images are the ones filled with laughter, movement, and pure joy as our family enjoyed the beach together. The combination of the breathtaking La Jolla backdrop and Mo's talent for capturing genuine connection resulted in a gallery that exceeded all expectations. These photos tell the story of our family exactly as we are, and they have become some of our most treasured memories. If you're considering a photographer in San Diego or La Jolla, Mo is an exceptional choice. We are so grateful for the beautiful memories she preserved for our family. ”
“ Friendly, communicative, and great with kids. She was absolutely perfect for our family photos. We love how they turned out! ”
“ I genuinely can’t say enough good things about Alyse!! She was so so wonderful to work with. Photos can feel a little vulnerable/awkward, but I felt comfortable with her almost immediately and she made the whole thing feel easy and fun and she grabbed so many great shots! She knew all the best spots, was so personable, gave great direction without making it feel stiff, and the photos turned out SO beautiful. I had the hardest time picking favorites because she delivered so many amazing ones, and so many extras too, which was just above and beyond. I’m truly so grateful she was available and recommend her to anyone in San Diego who's looking for some great shots! If I’m ever back in the area, she’d be the first person I’d want to book with again!! ”
“ Alyse was awesome! Very professional and she really took her time to get some of the most amazing family photos! Thank you!! ”
