Kind Words from Santa Ynez Valley Families
We loved working with Tristin for our maternity and newborn photo sessions. I was initially unsure about doing a maternity shoot, not feeling sure about my body and being in front of the camera. But I wanted to capture memories of our family in transition from 1 to 2 kids. I’m so glad we chose to work with Tristin. She instantly put us all at ease, especially me, and captured our family so well. It was absolutely worth the investment. We’ll have these memories to cherish forever!
I was excited to see a local photographer offer family films so we booked a session at a unique location and Tristin went above and beyond with the results. After the session, where my whole family had fun, we quickly received two family films and amazing photographs. The film is like our little family story and we love it! I totally recommend Tristin and trying her films!
We had the most amazing time with Tristin during our session. We've done several photo sessions with various photographers in the past and it's always been difficult for our little one - Tristin, however, was amazing. She loved interacting with Tristin and she was able to get so many amazing photos of our family that we will cherish forever. The hour didn't feel like work at all but a fun family outing for all! I would highly recommend Tristin for family photos, especially if you have camera shy children!
Thank you so much for your beautiful work!!
It made my Mother’s Day morning to wake up and see these gorgeous photos in my inbox. You are very talented
- you worked effortlessly through the unpredictable weather and toddler temperament, and even snakes! :)
Tristin captured photos of our family that we will have forever! She was so easy to work with and made the experience super enjoyable!
Tristin is an outstanding person and photographer! We were referred to Tristin last minute and she made a magical maternity/pregnancy photoshoot happen within days! My husband and I felt so relaxed, at ease, comfortable, and simply happy to be capturing such a special time in our lives. We look forward to working with Tristin in the future as we continue to grow our family!
