We had a great experience with Marcela and Lemonshoots. We have amazing pictures, a beautiful keepsake book, a large canvas, prints, and the thumb drive of the digital files. The quality of the physical items is excellent. We hope to work with her again when our baby is older.

One word to describe my experience with Marcela at Lemonshoots...AMAZING!! She made my vision come true with my Maternity Shoot. This was everything I dreamed of. I'm truly in love with my pictures! Very highly recommended.

I love my baby’s portraits! Marcela truly has the magic touch! I was so nervous bringing my 1wk old in, but Marcela made me (and my baby!) feel comfortable and relaxed. I was able to feed and change diaper in the studio prior to the session. The studio is very clean and has a full changing station. Marcela is so kind and made this a very positive and calm experience! Thank you Marcela!

I promise you, no one else can be as sweet and gentle with your newborn than Marcela. As a new mom, I was a bit apprehensive about someone other than myself and my husband handling our 3-week old baby but Marcela made us feel incredibly safe and comfortable in her clean and beautiful studio. Our appointment was at the beginning of January 2021 so fears about Covid were still high. She sanitized the studio right before we arrived. We were asked to remove our shoes and wash our hands. She allowed me to nurse baby Quinn for as long as she needed. When we were ready to start, she sanitized her hands

Our experience with our family photoshoot at Lemonshoots was nothing short of delightful. Marcela is truly a master at calming the baby and gently handling it so it feels absolutely comfortable. The results of her work are stunning. We can't wait to go back again when our little one is 6 months old.

I had the best experience with Marcela from the first moment we talked on the phone. She is authentic and sweet. She was excited to get to know my personal experience with my pregnancy. In her photos she was able to capture my joy and the love me and my partner felt with expecting our first baby girl. Marcela is not only professional and talented. She is knowledgeable on how to handle newborns and keep them cozy during the photo shoot. She will give you beautiful pictures capturing this special moment in your life that will last a lifetime for you and your family to enjoy. I highly highly recommend

This photoshoot was our splurge and it was well worth it. From initial contact to the delivery of our photos, Marcela walked us through the process of photographing an infant. The session was as easy as can be, even though we had a fussy baby. Marcela figured out the best way to position the baby to get the most cooperation possible. Even after four diaper changes, we kept going till we got what we needed.
The final process was equally hard b/c of the baby. Again, Marcela was patient and helpful with our final selection. When the images arrived, it was everything we hoped for and more.

I cannot begin to express how awesome my Lemonshoots experience was. Marcela was recommended by a very dear friend and I could not have picked a better person to capture the first images of our 1st child. From the very first phone call and email Marcela was ever the consummate professional, she was personal, warm and very knowledgeable. Marcela was always very flexible and understanding especially when my maternity shoot had to be canceled because of severe back pain and when my newborn shoot had to be moved back because of the early birth of our son. Our time at the studio was an amazing experience

Marcela is wonderful! She did a fantastic job photographing our baby at 3 weeks old. She was kind and super gentle with our daughter (I even learned a few things from her about soothing our baby!), and the images came out great. They are high quality and timeless. Thank you Marcela! When you photograph older babies, let me know!

I have been meaning to write this review for quite some time, but having a little one really soaks up your free time! I wanted to express how wonderful Marcela is as a person, and as a photographer! She was absolutely amazing working with our daughter, and captured her little personality wonderfully. I highly recommend Lemon Shoots for capturing these precious moments! Thanks again Marcela!

I first spotted Marcela's work during one of my visits to RSC in Orinda. There hanging on the wall in the waiting room was one of the most precious baby portraits I had ever seen. There was something magical about her work that made me feel like this dream of having a baby was possible. I knew that if our journey was successful, that I would want Marcela to take our baby's picture. Fast forward nine+ months and there we were, in our living room, experiencing Marcela's work first hand. She was so gentle and loving with our son and patient with us as first-time parents. She put

What can I say... Marcela is simply amazing at what she does! As a fellow photographer myself, safety and creativity were my two main concerns when I decided that we were going to book a newborn session for our daughter, and Marcela sure did deliver! From start to end, everything about our session went smoothly even though my daughter was being a little difficult, we received an amazing gallery. Marcela came to our home with the most adorable props one can think of, she set everything up and even had her session planned out by sets and poses - needles to say she was beyond prepared and organized

Marcela has the most magical and creative vision in Maternity and Newborn Photography.
Coming from a background of Infertility, my husband and I always knew we wanted to capture our journey from pregnancy to parent hood in pictures, so that we could look back to and just see the beaming happiness that we felt in those exact moments in time. Marcela's work is so sentimental, soft, and just seems to speak to you, that is why we chose her as soon as we met her and saw her work, but only fell deeply more grateful that we found her when we finally received our photos, I was put into tears!

Marcela was a pleasure to work with. She was very personable, professional and patient. She took the time to work with our busy work schedule and created a memorable experience for my family, especially with our 4yr old daughter who continues to ask when will Marcela come back to take more pictures .
We look forward to have Marcela capture more memorable moments that will last us generations.

Marcela is absolutely terrific! I felt so comfortable with her throughout the entire process - from the initial phone call to the shoot to the selection of photos. She is very professional and qualified, but also personable and puts everyone, including our baby girl, at ease. I was so impressed with how she handled everything at the shoot. She was prepared for any scenario, and so kind and gentle with our girl. And the photos came out so beautifully, and will be ones we treasure for the rest of our lives. I'm so grateful we found Marcela!

I met marcela at baby fair event in San Francisco. She was so friendly and approachable. So I keep her information. I delivered my twins in march and couldn't wait to have some pictures taking. My husband wanted to do some picture at the hospital but I refused to take any because I wanted to work with Marcela. I called her and made a n appointment for the babies first month. She came to my apartment happy and willing to work with two babies. She did a great job we were so impressed with her performance and professionalism. I can definitely say she has a talent! I highly recommend her our pictures

This review is so long overdue..lets just say I'm back to work from maternity leave and Marcela did my Maternity Shoot AND newborn pictures!

Lets start with the Maternity Shoot:

A friend of mine posted some beautiful photos of her maternity shoot and I asked about the photographer. She highly recommended Marcela so I reached out to her. She was very quick to get back to me and very friendly on the phone. We decided on the location and date and we were set. I met up with Marcela and her assistant Irma who was also very friendly at Baker Beach and I had such a great experience. They were very

I was referred to Marcela thru a dear friend of mine that had done her new born baby shoot with her...She spoke wonders about her and my husband and I decided to have her do both our Maternity and new born photo sessions.
I can't say enough Wonderful things about Marcela! She made us feel at ease immediately during our Maternity shoot. She brought everything we needed, including the dresses! She made the whole experience Fun, Romantic and effortless :-)
Not only did she make me feel like an absolute goddess, but she took some amazing photographs that I will cherish for a lifetime...
