The Absolute Photography

Emily is a dream to work with. She’s so easy going, friendly, thoughtful and inquisitive! We hired her to work our very small wedding, having found her on Unilocal through another wedding list. Thank you Unilocal Lists!
Emily came to our home because we thought she should meet our Yeti Moose Lamb. Not a problem or a challenge. We told her it was going to be quick, everything was going to be quick. Fast wedding, fast reception, could she get enough pictures in a couple of hours? She assured us she would have plenty to work with.
Recently, she sent us a teaser of what is to come. So far, what we’ve seen is beautiful. We can’t wait to get the rest.
Paying her is easy, she has an on line payment method that worked for all of us.

I booked a newborn photo shoot as a surprise gift for my wife to document the cuteness that is our new daughter (1 week old at time of shoot). After extensive research, I decided to go with Emily and The Absolute Photography, and I couldn’t have made a better decision.
Emily was very accommodating and made the whole process very easy for us, which is much appreciated amidst the stress of being new first-​time parents. As a last minute decision we decided to pay a bit extra for Emily to come out to our house for the sake of convenience, and she was more than happy to do so, even though the trip must have been quite the trek.
Once she was here she took wonderful care of our little girl. She was gentle, patient, and knew exactly what she was doing. She totally understood the need for a quick (and not so quick) breastfeeding break and was able to find humor in the fact that our little girl peed all over my wife… twice. Although our baby was a bit fussy at times, Emily was easily able to calm her in order to get some really fantastic shots.
She captured our style perfectly and we could tell that she was really invested in making sure that we got quality pictures. She seemed genuinely excited about what she does, which is important in a nice final product. She was even nice enough to ask if we were planning to do birth announcements, which we were, so she said that she would be sure to send us a sneak peek the same day so that we could possibly include some of the images.
If you are looking for a top quality photographer to take pictures of your precious little babies and children, look no further. Emily did an amazing job and we would do it again in a heartbeat.

At first I was a little frustrated by a last minute rescheduling due to the studio not being set up, which you know is all the more difficult when the subject is a one year old. Then I was a bit put off that the «studio» turned out to be a few balloons taped to the floor and a simple façade and homemade backdrop in the living room of her house. All in all, it was way less expensive (by hundreds of dollars) than many other photographers, and the pictures turned out great.

Working with Emily and her husband was an amazing experience! The Absolute Photography is definitely our first choice for capturing life’s treasured moments.
Communicating my desires for our wedding was a breeze with Emily. She was always available by phone, text and email. My husband was very particular in his wishes for our wedding photographs and she obliged effortlessly and professionally!
Our photographs were beautiful and we loved the additions and changes she made to the prints, adding her artistic flare.
Emily is professional, creative and captured our wedding beautifully.
I won’t hesitate to ask The Absolute Photography to work with us again in the future. I am so grateful to her and her husband!

Emily photographer my fiancée and me for our engagement shoot. Before the chosen day, we exchanged emails and determined the venue. She had some suggestions which was definitely super helpful. We decided to do it at the Palace of Fine Arts which was a great suggestion from her. Once we got there, she met us promptly at the scheduled time.
I was not sure what to expect but she made us super comfortable. We walked around the area, and the first few photos were just capturing us in the moment. We are also big into jumping pictures (everybody should try them out once) and she was super willing to experiment with them.
She had great ideas for the various pictures and was proactive about suggesting them. We did a full set in the venue and realized that we still have time remaining. She was more than willing to walk with us to Crissy field and try a few more photos out. The best part was the sun was setting and the lighting was perfect. She was also prompt about sending the photos to us within the scheduled time.
She also takes credit cards and checks which makes things super efficient. Overall, if you are thinking photo shoots, look no further than Emily and Absolute Photography!

Today was my daughter first newborn photoshoot and I can’t put into words how please I am with the whole experience. Emily is not only professional but she’s great with my daughter. She was able to work with my vision and what I wanted even though the ball was all in her court. She’s kind, patience and super easy going. I can’t wait to see how the photos turns out. I’m sure it will be beautiful and more then what we expected. Her price are super reasonable comparing to many photographers out there who’s only in it for the money. Moving forward, I will only book Emily to capture all our family precious moments. Thanks Emily for making this new Mother super happy.

Emily came by our home in Walnut Creek and spent a few hours taking pictures of our newborn baby. Not sure how, but she was able to stop and keep him from crying so that the pictures would come out wonderful. If you are looking for a professional photographer in the East Bay, I highly recommend Absolute Photography. Thanks.

Emily photographed the engagement of me and my fiancée. First she committed to meeting us all the way up near Ft. Bragg at a little hotel on the coast. She was on time and she even helped me set up the proposal picnic that I had envisioned on the beach. As soon as I dropped down to one knee to begin my proposal, she jumped into action and started taking pictures of the moment. After the proposal it turned into a photo shoot on the beach, and Emily took some excellent photos of us walking through the surf .
In only a few short days, Emily edited the photos, loaded them to her secure website, and sent us a flash drive with all of our photos on it. Hiring Emily to take photos of us on our engagement was the wisest thing I could have done. If you are considering a photographer for a big life moment, or just want an absolute professional photographer for a fair price, you will hard pressed to find anyone better than her. It goes without saying that she will be photographing our wedding in 2015 !

Emily immediately made my daughter feel comfortable and special which made the photo shoot great. The pictures that were taken were very flattering and my daughter proudly shows them off. This is not easy to do for a teenage girl!
Emily is a true professional with an amazing eye to detail and I would recommend her to anyone looking for professional photos.
Thank you Emily and The Absolute Photography!

Emily has a true artist eye! Love shooting with her and her enthusiasm for out of the box ideas rocks! We had two separate shoots over two days and the results blew me away! She turned us into Superheros!

Emily did a photo shoot of my baby girl, Luna, when she was just 5 weeks old. She was here on the east coast, so we booked a session with her in Brooklyn. We didn’t know what to expect with unpredictable newborn behavior, but Emily was a seasoned pro – she knew how to work with Luna to get some spectacular portraits and family photos. She was patient and easygoing, and we felt really relaxed during the whole session. Luna seemed to be under her spell and didn’t complain, cry, or fall asleep once. Thanks to Emily, we have some very special photos that we’ve framed all over the house (ordering prints was super easy and fast!). We plan to use her annually to capture our growing girl and I highly recommend that others do the same.

I booked a family photo shoot with Emily as a Christmas present for my partner. We brought our dog, which can always be an unknown variable.
Neither of us are usually very comfortable getting our photos taken, but Emily was wonderful at putting us at ease and made the whole thing a lot of fun. She was great at working with us and our dog. We did a mixture of posed and candid shots, and Emily did a great job of capturing our somewhat quirky personalities.
Best of all, the photos turned out great!

Emily did a photo session for our big 12 person family with 3 kids. She drove over all the way from east bay. Her photos turn out great, super artistic and everyone loves them. Clear communications throughout the process! We highly recommend her!

Emily did a family shoot and also did my newborn shoot; both experiences resulted in great portraits! She really knows how to capture those unplanned moments, she truly captures the emotion and mood of the moment. She was super flexible and prepared as she brought many props to accomodate the baby shoot. She was great at giving direction to get a good pose but also let our family just be us! She was very professional and returned the photos with a super quick turnaround time. The final product was perfection; the edits she applied to the shots came out outstanding. I highly recommend The Absolute Photography!

Emily took our family graduation pictures at UCSC. She took tons of pictures and was very creative and patient around our kids. She took her time with all the pictures and I really liked the quality of her work… I would highly recommend her to anyone !!! :)

Emily did a photo shoot of my aikido dojo yesterday, and she was amazing! In just 30 minutes, she took over 1000 shots of high action. I’m talking inches off the ground, and crisp shots of very fast throws.
Her ease behind the camera, organization, and attunement to what’s needed were wonderful to behold. We will happily use The Absolute Photography again!

Emily A is the best: talented artist, skilled with equipment and helps you relax. She made this 67 year old author look fabulous for my book photo see:
. Definitely recommend her!
