On time and easy to talk to. Clearly has experience and she knows how to make someone comfortable on camera. Great give and take with the ideas we had and the input she had to give on them/totally great ideas she brought to the table we never would have considered. Wonderful time.

What a talented and amazing photographer Dina is! She has a very friendly and approachable demeanor, and made us feel at ease throughout the session. She went above and beyond to accommodate our preference. She captured all special and unique moments even when we were not aware. We are becoming regular clients since we found her to be a true master behind the camera. Thank you Dina for providing us with excellent pictures.

Dina did an outstanding job with our family pictures. There were quite a few of us including a two year old, she was great with the toddler & took time with us to make sure we were all posed yet looked natural. She has a very nice personality which helped us to feel comfortable. I’m so happy we had her as our photographer.

I’m so glad I found Dina on Thumbtack. She captured newborn pictures of our baby and was so patient and gentle with our fussy little girl. We really loved the pictures and would contact her for future photography needs. She is highly recommended.

We drove 7+ hours from SoCal to Point Lobos, where we got engaged and Dina was very understanding about my fiancé and I needing some time to gather ourselves. It was our first professional photo shoot for my fiancé and I. Dina was so helpful and sweet about making us feel comfortable and guided us on all our poses. She is very knowledgeable on the in’s and out’s of photography. She delivered the photos in the time frame she gave us. We love the photos! Her photography style is just what we were looking for. She captured the beautiful scenery and us effortlessly. We had such a wonderful experience with her.
