Photographers near La Mesa

“I had a shoot recently. I received very clear instructions on how to prep for the shoot and what I needed to do the day of shoot and what to expect.

Cinnamon did my photos and it’s OBVIOUS she has decades of experience. Her personality was so vibrant but calming.

The first questions she asked were about my comfort level, what I was ok with showing and not ok with showing. Asked a lot of questions about what my goal for the shoot would be. It made me feel very safe and comfortable.

She had me get in my first outfit and pointed out things I never would have thought of like deodorant on my underarms. She gave clear direction on posing and made the whole process so much fun. I forgot I was there for a photoshoot. It seemed effortless for her. She took time after my shoot to answer any questions I had about the next steps in the process.

After the shoot I got the edited photos 3 days later which is a crazy turn around time. The album came with very clear instructions on how to view and select photos or packages for purchase. I was also given multiple reminders to make my selections before the cut off time which my ADHD brain really appreciated.

I would (and have) recommend them to anyone looking for this type of shoot and will probably book in the future.“

“Chris is literally SOOOO amazing! We worked with Chris for our wedding photographs and couldn't be happier. From the start, Chris made us feel supported and heard in every meeting or call we had with her. Her kind and caring personality was felt the entire we worked with her.

On our special day, Chris took away any stress we had regarding photos and ensured that we felt comfortable and happy. She took charge and directed everyone in the best way possible, everyone loved her!

Having gotten our wedding photos just recently, we also couldn't be happier with having chosen to work with Chris! Her work is truly AMAZING! She took our vision and made it even better than we could've ever imagined. Thank you so so so much Chris for everything, we appreciate you!“

“My wife and I have used Elsa multiple times for real estate headshots and the experience has been great every time. Most recently, we worked with her again and was reminded how professional and easy she is to work with. Elsa does a great job making you feel comfortable, which really shows in the final photos. Her turnaround time is the quickest, too, and the quality is always outstanding. We always recommend Elsa for anyone needing professional photo's whether for work or personal events.“

“This photographer duo left us speechless. So creative, professional, & so very fun. Dustin literally studied where the best lighting would be throughout the day and made MAGIC. They gave us exactly what we had in mind. And they have great taste in music! Thank you both for everything! xoxo“

“An amazing makeup artist! She did the makeup for one of my clients and it definitely made the photoshoot next level! Thank you so much CAP!“

“Michelle is the best!! She has been taking our family photos for years. We all love her! The kids get so excited because she makes the whole experience effortless and fun. The kids love that she remembers them and what they are into from year to year. Highly recommend.“

“We had the absolute pleasure of having Sam Fu as our wedding photographer, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience and the results. From the moment we first connected, Sam was incredibly professional, warm, and attentive to our vision. He took the time to understand our story and what mattered most to us, and that care truly showed in every photo.

On the big day, Sam was a calming presence—always there but never intrusive. He captured every special moment so naturally, from the emotional to the candid, and somehow made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera. His eye for detail and ability to find beauty in even the smallest moments is truly a gift.

When we received our photos, we were blown away. Every image was full of life, emotion, and artistry. Sam has a unique talent for telling a story through his lens, and we’re so grateful he told ours.

If you’re looking for a photographer who is not only incredibly talented but also kind, reliable, and genuinely invested in your day, we can’t recommend Sam Fu enough. These are memories we’ll treasure forever, and we have Sam to thank for that.“

“Working with Megan is an absolute treat, she displays a true ownership of her craft while also quickly thinking on her feet. From behind the camera, Megan fosters creativity within her vendor teams and always wants to try new and wonderful things that make her final product a DREAM. As a fellow vendor and friend, her support and encouragement means so much to me!“

“I have wanted to do a Boudoir shoot for years! I've was always nervous. I found Barbara online with a lot of great testimonials, and her work speaks for itself, it's beautiful! the day of our shoot she made me feel really comfortable and she also supplies everything you need at her place as far as clothing, etc. She is a true master and has an eye for bringing out the best in you and downplaying things you're not sure about yourself. Anyway, my book came out better than I could ever imagine, and my boyfriend was over the moon! I highly recommend Barbara for all of your photographic needs.“

“Initially, I was a bit nervous. Angelika made the entire process fun and comfortable. When I went in I felt pretty because of the make up and hair. I left feeling like a goddess super empowered and even more comfortable in my on body. Angelika is patient, she explains the poses well and she guides you through everything. She also enjoys genuinely what she does. I recommend her to anyone.

Will update when I receive the pictures.“

“Beautifully taken photos of my property. Professional and courteous. Highly recommend them for any Real Estate Photography.“

Our partnership is always smooth, seamless, and organized.

Would highly recommend!“

“Hector was wonderful. I went in there, not knowing how to turn on my camera to be very confident and comfortable, taking pictures and being able to change lighting and focus. Great class for beginners that do not know anything. Thank you so much, Hector.“

“If you’re looking for a photographer in San Diego, look no further. Willmus Creative has an extraordinary eye for detail and an innate ability to capture moments that feel both timeless and genuine. The experience was seamless from start to finish: professional, attentive, and incredibly creative. Every shot tells a story, and the final images exceeded all expectations. Highly recommended for anyone who values quality and artistry in photography.“

“Our Snappr experience was fantastic! We booked Mariola (San Diego area) for a one hour family shoot, and I must admit, I was a little nervous about it, because the price seemed almost too good to be to be true. But Mariola contacted me a couple of days before the shoot, we discussed details of the best beach to take the photos, and she was there on time and ready the day of the session. Mariola was fantastic, and really captured the essence of our family. She was great about making sure we were posed nicely, and was very flexible about taking a few photos of some extended family who came along as well. She made excellent use of our one hour together, making sure to take plenty of different photos in different poses and with different backdrops. A little more than a day later, we received the email notifying us our gallery was ready, and the photos are high quality and absolutely gorgeous! I’ve had no issues downloading the photos to use for our holiday cards, and I am 100% happy with our first Snappr experience. I would definitely use Snappr again, and the next time we are visiting San Diego, we will book Mariola again!“

“Kate was incredibly wonderful to work with. From the moment I initiated contact with her she was responsive, detailed and very thorough, but most of all kind and pleasant. Once we met up to take photos she was prepared, again super responsive and considerate of my time, and she had great energy that made you feel comfortable and relaxed. She communicated and managed my expectations of when and how to receive the images, she was even early in delivering them. To top all of that my pictures were absolutely STUNNING.... I just cannot say enough good things. She was simply amazing to work with and we will certainly be using her again in the future, as well as referring her to all of our friends and family. Thanks for capturing my beautiful kids Kate.... we will cherish your photos FOREVER :)“

“Bob and his staff did an amazing job photographing our daughter’s Bat Mitzvah! We couldn’t be happier with the photos and the great communication of him and his office.“

“Chris was phenomenal with both his attention to detail and professionalism. He did an excellent job shooting my engagement proposal, and clearly captured what will be a livelong memory. Thanks again Chris!“

“Brianna was absolutely amazing and my daughter Skye loved her. I HIGHLY recommend her photography services“

“We have used Kellie Schneider, Little Blue Bow Photography, for both our wedding and family photos, and I truly cannot recommend her enough. She is incredibly patient (which is everything when working with young children!) and has such a natural way of making everyone feel comfortable and at ease.

Her eye for detail is unmatched—she captures the most beautiful, genuine moments that you don’t even realize are happening. Our photos always come out stunning, timeless, and full of emotion.

If you’re looking for someone who is not only talented but also kind, calm, and amazing with families, she is it!“

“Sophie Crew Photography is by far one of the best and most professional photography companies I have ever worked with. Sophie is so kind, talented, patient, and innovative, and her work has far exceeded our expectations. She did our maternity shoot on the beautiful beach bluffs of La Jolla. All the photos came out beautiful and magical and she was able to incorporate my husband, daughter as well as my late son so beautifully in the images. She was able to capture so many moments that felt so candid and natural. If you are in the search for a photographer to capture your most precious and priceless moments, look no further and hire Sophie. You will be very happy you did!“

“If you're in the San Diego/Coronado area, let Amy do your beach pics. She did both my daughter and son's Senior Photos and I'm so happy with them. She's also just a lovely, enjoyable human and that makes the photo session really enjoyable.“
