Whether it's an engagement, a family gathering, or photos for a high school senior, capturing these important moments can never be replaced. My goal is to give you a glimpse into those special moments in your life, that you can cherish forever. Pregnancy is a beautiful thing no matter if this is your first, or your fifth!
Capturing this special moment in time is the greatest gift you can give to yourself, your family, and your baby. What the heck is Boudoir?! In a traditional form, a boudior is the area within a bedroom or sitting room in which a woman gets ready for her day (or night!). We use this term in photography to explain that the session will be intimate, sexy, and personal.

This review is way overdue but better late than never. Gina came highly recommended by my wedding planner and let me tell you she did not disappoint! We was planning a wedding in LA from Hawaii so I had never meet Gina nor seen her work, we just communicated via email. I had complete faith and trust in my wedding planner so I went with Gina and I am SO glad I did. Her and her crew were absolutely amazing! Our pictures turned out better than we expected. Gina is a true professional and you can tell she puts all her time and effort in ensuring her customers are satisfied. I really cannot say enough

GIna is seriously a magician behind the camera. She took our family photos last weekend and managed to get beautiful shots of us (me, my husband, our almost 3 year old daughter, 6 month old son, and two dogs) where we are all looking at the camera! She is great with kids and dogs and we could not be more thrilled with our photos.
She was also very flexible with us and our schedule, even accommodating a last minute change that made her wake up before the sun was up to meet us so my husband could make a flight at 10am.
Gina had our photos to us in less than 6 hours and every one of them is beautiful

Gina was an outstanding choice to work with my teen daughter, who is pretty shy, and not a fan of getting her picture taken. Gina kept things low key and helped my daughter feel relaxed during a senior session. She was great at staying in my daughter's comfort zone, and got some amazing pictures that really reflected her personality. Also, Gina delivered the pictures in advance of our contracted deadline, and the download process was really easy. She also gave us a huge variety of pictures to choose from. Gina exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend her.

From the moment I met Gina, she made me feel so comfortable. She is so easy, so flexible,
and so accommodating. We did a photo shoot around baby farm animals - a very unpredictable situation - and she captured every moment so beautifully. I love the photos she took, and I love the memories we made. Gina is really sweet, and also very talented. I really can't wait to work with her again! I'm so glad I found a truly professional and skilled photographer who is also a joy to be around!

I'm so bummed it has taken me this long to write such an amazing review! Gina drove out to the San Gabriel Valley and ventured out into the canyon to get some amazing shots of me. She also allowed my boyfriend (now fiance) to tag along with his camera to shoot video of the whole process. She gave great direction on posing, ideal locations and wardrobe. She isn't scared to get a little dirty or get her feet wet to get the perfect shot. I am thrilled with the photos and can't wait to collaborate with Gina again! ::)

Gina is absolutely amazing! From the first time I spoke with her to meeting her in person. She is such a beautiful person inside and out! She was great about making sure I stayed on track as the wedding approached. She was amazing the day of, going above and beyond helping outside of her photographer duties. And the pictures? Oh my goodness! Amazing, beautiful, gorgeous! They are some of the best professional pictures I have ever seen. My son was 11 months during our wedding and she captured some of the most amazing photos of him. HIGHLY recommended. She will not disappoint you!

I was involved in a family photo session that Gina was hired for. Some of my family members are not that easy to work with, I won't name names haha Not an easy feat, especially with my disorderly family, but Gina is a pro! She has a great attitude and got everyone staged with such ease. She will definitely be getting more work from our family and friends :)

Gina was absolutely amazing!!! Last Saturday she photographed my wedding in Big Bear. She was so professional and knew exactly how to get the shots we wanted. I love the fact that she is SO well organized! Gina kept in contact with me months before my wedding date, and made sure we were on the same page with what photos were a "must have." She is so patient with kids, and knew exactly what to do in order to create the perfect shot! Gina gave me great ideas for photo shots, and helped me every step of the way!! She listened to my ideas and helped me bring to life the photos I had in

We hired Gina Marie to take family photos during a mini family reunion in Palm Desert in late December of 2012. We had a total of 4 families and 15 people to capture. She did a great job of staging both formal and informal/fun shots that beautifully captured everyone. Ages ranged from 10 mos. to grandparents, and she knew how to work with all of us. What could have been a stressful event was actually relaxed and fun thanks to Gina's personality. We received a CD with the photos last week and were thrilled. Not only did she manage to capture everyone looking in the same direction at the

Of all the photographers I had interviewed Gina resonated in energy, spirit , simplicity, and a well laid out portfolio. I feel blessed to have found her and from our first call on the phone to our meeting and through out the wedding day and after she has showed amazing understanding, help , direction and coordinated everything fabulously! Her assistant Kimberly too was just as friendly, soft spoken very courteous, professional and put us all at ease & ready for some amazing shots!! They worked in unison so well we hardly knew they were around us all the time!! Her packages are explained &

My fiance and I were both pretty nervous about our engagement shoot, but Gina made us feel completely comfortable. We ended up having a lot of fun, with a minimum amount of awkwardness : ) She was totally open to our input and ideas, and didnt make us do a lot of stiff posed pics that arent our style. We ended up using her pics for our save-the-dates and even the designer that was editing them for us mentioned how awesome our pics were. We would definitely use her again.

I had pictures taken with Gina around xmas time and she was able to schedule me in with about a weeks notice. We went to some gardens for the pictures and there were lots of nice settings there. The posing was very natural. My fiance and I were very happy with how the pictures came out and I would recommend her to anyone.
