"Vanessa was amazing! She was so easy to connect with. I needed a photographer for my wedding fast! My wedding got bumped up 5 months and She was so nice and made the process easy, if you planned a wedding you know it can beyond stressful at times and booking her was so easy and made one less thing stressful. During the wedding she was awesome, great attitude, very positive, and willing to do whatever to make sure you felt special. Our photos are gorgeous!"

"From the moment Vanessa walked into our hospital room, she brought such warmth, calm, and care. She went above and beyond to capture those first precious hours with our newborn—moments that were tender, emotional, and so fleeting. If you’re looking for a hospital newborn photographer or considering a Fresh 48 session in the Bay Area, Vanessa is the one you want by your side.

Every photo told a story—we cried (happy tears!) the first time we saw our gallery. She beautifully captured the tiny details: wrinkly fingers, sleepy yawns, sweet first snuggles, and even the proud big siblings meeting their new baby for the first time. Her ability to document these raw and intimate moments without ever making us feel posed or pressured"

"Vanessa knew exactly where to shoot for the best lighting and backdrops, and her direction was gentle but effective, which is so important when photographing young kids. She was incredibly patient and made the whole experience relaxed and enjoyable for all of us.

When we received our gallery, I was blown away. The way she captured our family dynamic, the personalities of our kids, and even the in-between candid moments—it was everything I hoped for and more.

If you're in Brentwood or anywhere in the East Bay and need a family photographer who truly knows how to create magic, book Vanessa. We will cherish these photos forever. Thank you, Vanessa, for giving us such a beautiful gift!"

"We had the best experience with Vanessa during our family session in Livermore! She made the whole shoot feel fun and relaxed, even with our energetic kids. The photos are absolutely stunning—natural, warm, and full of love. If you're looking for a Livermore family photographer or Livermore newborn photographer, Vanessa is the one to call. We’ll treasure these memories forever!"

"We had the best experience with Vanessa and our photos came out really good. She also was so good with our son who was also instantly smitten with Vanessa. Vanessa was also very responsive, recommended good locations and we got our photos on time. I would highly recommend Vanessa."
