I'm so excited to share these local photographer reviews with you all! I truly love capturing moments for my clients, whether those involve cuddling your newborn while your fur baby lies next to you, or if you want to form new and fond memories with the family at meaningful places, such as the Pitt Meadows lake dike.

 

Every single one of these heartwarming and amazing photographer reviews are from families, school/daycare directors, and small business owners I've been honoured to meet and connect with. These glowing testimonials come from all across Vancouver, Maple Ridge, Surrey, Langley, and many more of Vancouver, BC's nearby areas. 

Take a quick peek to see not only how easy I make photo sessions feel and flow for clients, but also how I can provide you with the best experience while capturing your treasured moments.

"The results were perfect"

"Meliza did my professional business branding photographs and the results were perfect. She came to my office to do the shoot, and made me feel so comfortable during the whole process. I am very grateful for her guidance as I often feel very awkward and uncomfortable in front of the camera. She had great suggestions both to prepare for the shoot and during, such as outfits, posing, backgrounds, etc. I received my photos in a very timely fashion and she provided a ton of content. Thank you, Meliza, for your wonderful services! Highly recommended!"

"She left me feeling absolutely beautiful and confident"

"I booked Meliza for my maternity and newborn photoshoot, and I can't thank her enough. She is absolutely fantastic!!!! For both shoots she made me feel 100% comfortable and was able to capture my new little family in our natural element. I also had the opportunity to have my makeup and hair done by her for my photoshoot. As a new mother, these added services made a world of a difference and she left me feeling absolutely beautiful and confident for our shoot."

"High-quality photos that make for a lasting memory"

"Meliza has a great sense of humour which makes working with her fun. She’s also super passionate about photography and delivering high-quality photos that make for a lasting memory for her clients. I know this as she took my pregnancy photos and the end results were truly stunning—I particularly love her use of light and the way it translates so beautifully in my pictures. I would highly encourage anyone seeking high-quality individual or family lifestyle photos to hire Meliza."

"The best photography experience"

"Meliza's casual approach really put us at ease. We were able to be ourselves and just enjoy spending time with our newborn while Meliza captured every moment. Truly the best photography experience we have had."

- Jodi, Langley, BC

"I felt so beautiful and confident"

"She made me feel so comfortable in her care as she pampered me with makeup and hair, and I felt so beautiful and confident after! I appreciate her outgoing personality, love of her job, and ability to capture so much beauty and truth in a photo."

- Bianca

"Love the candid style"

Our family had never had professional photos before, and I am definitely camera-shy, but Meliza got us all to easily loosen up and just enjoy the process. And the photos are so beautiful! Definitely forever keepsakes. I truly didn't know what I was missing by never having photos taken by someone who knows what they are doing. This was a newborn session for our second and I wish we had done this when my first was born. Love the candid style; they really captured what those early days felt like."
