So, as my time here in California is coming to a rapid close (6 days!!!), I have been getting asked by my clients who I would recommend for their future photography needs!!

I would never leave my amazing clients without photographer recommendations! When I left Virginia, I did the same thing, and I am so happy when I see my previous clients still using the recommendations I gave them 18 months ago!

These photographers and vendors that I am recommended, not only does their work speak for themselves, but I know them personally, and I know that they will take care of you!

For Family Sessions, here are my recommendations:

Rachel Z is so very awesome! I promise that she will make you feel right at home with her warm smile, and the photos that you will receive will be amazing! She has been in this industry for a number of years, and is very familiar with the area! She also photographs weddings and engagements too! Her images have graced the cover of The Best of Monterey Wedding Guide!Preferred Photographers in Monterey_ Rachel Zee Photography

Carol is SO MUCH FUN! Not only are you going to have stunning images from her session, she has such an amazing accent, and is FUNNY! So, those natural smiles you see on her site, is probably her saying something funny in English! She’s also an amazing surfer and a lover of water! I promise you, you will enjoy your time with her! She also photographs weddings and engagements as well!Preferred Vendors In Monterey_ Carol Oliva Photography

Oh Lorinda! One of my favorite galls! She has been in this industry for over 10 years, and continues to kill it! Even though by looking at her, you would think she just started because she looks so amazing! She will definitely talk to you in some way about her stunning kids, because, at the end of the day, she is a very proud mom, and should be! Lorinda will make you feel right at home and part of her family, like she did me! Also, she does weddings and engagements as well!

Amandarose!! Yes, that is her full name, so call her by it! 😉 A Pennsylvania native, she has the cutest studio in Carmel Valley! I promise you, the minute she smiles and talks to  you, you will want to be her friend!!! I am just lucky I am one of them! Her work with both digital and film adds a unique touch to her portfolio! She does sessions both here and on the East Coast, so book her soon, as she is a busy gall!

Weddings, Engagements and Seniors!

You want to meet these two! One of the only Mother/Daughter photographers in our industry! Not only is Laura and Rachel amazing at their job, being featured in numerous of publications, but they are sweet, and kind, and warm! They are the leaders of our local Rising Tide Society chapter, which is for all local vendors, and I promise you, they will make you feel welcome! They meet the second Tuesday of every month! If you are a small business owner, make sure you stop by to one of the meetings!

Newborns!

If you are looking for newborn sessions, look no further! There is only one person you need to see, and she will be so worth it! Newborn photography is so important, and Brenden has that special touch to make not only your newborn comfortable, but you as well! I would not trust your newborn with just anyone, as newborn safety is so important! So Cute Photo will take care of your newborn in the best way!!! She also does stunning maternity work too!
