Wow, I love my family portraits from Cerissa! While I originally wanted to do a pregnancy photoshoot, schedules got crazy and we ended up waiting to do a newborn session with my son and toddler. I was grateful for the flexibility in rescheduling as our photographs were so worth it! Not only was hair and make up a real treat, but her team was so helpful in primping, coaching, posing and even wrangling my three year old spitfire. Cerissa truly took the time to make the shoot feel comfortable, personal, intimate and even glamorous (which is saying a lot with a tiny newborn, animated toddler and exhausted

Cerissa's eye for composition and her style were perfect for our professional photographs. Both my husband and I feel like she "told our story" perfectly and we are benefitting with wonderful personal and business photographs. Also, being in the East Bay and easily accessible makes all of the difference for us when scheduling and planning time for a photoshoot.

I was hesitant to be photographed, and really didn't know what to expect when I met with Cerissa. I'm a busy mom of 4, and almost cancelled my appointment because I told myself "I simply don't have time for this." Cerissa made great use of our time, was professional, and well prepared. She took time to find out about me and my business, and used that knowledge to capture in photos exactly what I wanted portrayed. Every detail from lighting, to hair, to posture, and everything in between was handled so well by Cerissa. It is clearly evident that she studies her craft and takes it seriously. She

I recently had portrait photographs taken by Cerissa Mangrum. She is amazing -- extremely talented, professional, and super nice! Cerissa guided me through the entire process, including helping me pick out what outfits to wear and instructing me how to pose to help me look my best. She has lots of experience and knows her stuff! She is also super sweet and fun and makes you feel comfortable -- the whole experience was just wonderful. I am thrilled to have such high quality photographs of myself that I love. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

I was in need of a headshot for my business but just not any headshot. I was looking for a fresh, striking and modern approach to my professional portrait. Cerissa stood out to me because of her own lovely self portrait and the photos in her gallery of her website. We immediately connected and made an appointment for my shoot. I was quite a novice being photographed but Cerissa was a complete pro and guided me through many selective and dynamic poses that would be the most flattering. She truly has an eye for photography and her dancing background was evident in the graceful poses she demonstrated

Just finished addressing my Happy New Year cards and so excited that Cerissa was able to get my unwilling family in one place at one time and capturing the love! Love the cards and she turned a potential stressful situation into fun and I have a family photo for a lifetime. Thanks Cerissa! I highly recommend you!
