Ellen was so kind, patient and just overall the most calming person to have take pictures in an already insane (3 little kids) situation ❤️
— amy h
We had a great experience with Emmanuel! He was personable and made everyone feel at ease. He was super efficient at the shoot and the images were available quickly. The photos were AMAZING!!!
— Sara M
Ellen was wonderful to work with! My family and I were in San Diego on vacation, and because we don't know the area well, Ellen helped suggest a location. She was very understanding of working with my toddler and suggested poses according to his mood and comfort zone. I would highly recommend Ellen. I can't wait to see my family photos!
— Anaam M
We loved Ellen! She has such a wonderful and fun energy and captures beautiful shots. We would love to work with her again and can’t recommend her enough!
— Halley G

Emmanuel is very easy-going and knowledgeable! He went above and beyond for our shoot to capture the perfect memory.
— Stacy R
Ellen is sweet and great with kids. We are so happy with the photos from our family shoot. Our 7 year old and 2 year old enjoyed the session and were never bored. The whole experience exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend Ellen.
— Melissa W
MJ did an amazing job with our large family group from ages 1 to 70 something :) She gave us photos of a treasured time together and made everything super relaxed and stress free. We were impressed with her communications, her lovely attitude and ability to connect with the kids and her punctual edits. Couldn’t be more grateful, thanks MJ!
— Tasha S
She took a wide variety of photos and was so kind and professional
— Laura M
Aaron was amazing!! Everything about this process was seamless, easy, and incredible. What I appreciated most was Aaron’s attention to detail. He called before the shoot and helped discuss my vision. Taking family photos with a three-year-old and four-year-old can certainly be challenging, and he was exceptional. I am so grateful that we were able to connect, and I can’t wait to see your photos! Highly recommend!!
— PANTEA U
Easy going and such great energy. Made the photo taking process so enjoyable!! (Especially with a toddler!) Photos came out beautiful. Highly recommend!

How did you get started with photography

I've always loved looking through film prints as a kid, especially pictures of nature and landscapes. My dad enjoyed photography, so I started out with his 20D while I was still in school. I liked taking pictures of scenery, and was fascinated by the use of natural lighting. That's still true to this day, although my skillset and newer/better technology has changed my approach over the years.

What do you love about your job?

I love to meet people and find out what they do, or hear them tell a story about their life. That's my main motivator for staying in the business, in an environment where there are so many photographers out there. I also love the outdoors and nature, and photography allows me to capture the beauty of it - even when it may not necessarily be the subject I'm shooting.

What are some of your favorite places in San Diego to take photographs?

I like to shoot in a variety of places. The place may depend on the person's taste or persona, too. Some of my favorite places include the Blue Sky Ecological Reserve in Poway, Torrey Pines (north of the glider port), Los Penasquitos Canyon in Mira Mesa, and Lake Hodges in Escondido - just to name a few. Occasionally I will shoot downtown or in Coronado if I'm looking for a more urban setting.
