Elegant Reflections Photography & Design

If you’re searching for the best family photographer, stop looking!!! You found her! Cheryl is a phenomenal natural light photographer. Very professional, accommodating and so very talented. She’ll make you look so good you won’t be able to choose just one pose or photograph. She’s excellent with new borns to the seniors graduating from school to the elderly and everyone in between. She’s been our family photographer since the 90’s. From me as a single woman, to my engagement pictures, to my little girls pictures to other family sessions along with other family and close friends. Her attention to detail, her props, her sense of humor and creative touch all blend together to make your pictures a wonderful keepsake for generations to come. Check out her work. It speaks for itself. I know you won’t be sorry!!!

When I was pregnant with my first child, I wanted to have maternity pictures taken. Being relatively new to the area, I asked around for good photographers. Cheryl came highly recommended. Our pictures turned out amazing! We have since purchased the First Year Reflections Package for our daughter and have had the newborn shots taken so far. My daughter was not cooperative, but Cheryl was accommodating, patient, and creative (with tons of cute props and outfits). We got some wonderful memories and pictures to share with friends and family.
Cheryl is the perfect blend of perfessionalism and personality! She’s sassy and patient. I am a picky customer and I was pleased with all aspects of the process. Cheryl was open to using pose ideas I had pinned on Pinterest as well as her own, based on my taste and style. When you leave the session, you feel like you’ve spent the afternoon hanging out with a friend.
Her photographs are great quality! She is familiar with the Bay Area and has some great locations for whatever your style may be. She captures the light perfectly and spends quality time editing for a fantastic final image. The prints – except for the wallets – are a classy linen finish (they look and feel like canvas!).
I will continue to book Cheryl for all my future family photography. And I am happy to recommend her to anyone looking for a professional and personable photographer with a great artistic eye!

We purchased the First Year Reflections Plan before the birth of our daughter. We had another photographer that had a similar plan for our son’s first year. I wish we would have had Cheryl for both of our children. She captured our daughter beautifully throughout her first year. Her plan is fabulous because she brings the props and matches them up perfectly with what she is wearing. All the photos are adorable and she has a way to make babies smile… so it is hard not decide which photos to purchase.
I would definitely recommend Cheryl to new parents and will use her again for additional important moments in our family’s lives. Thank you so much Cheryl!

Cheryl took our engagement photos 5 years ago and has been photographing our family ever since as it’s grown. She does a great job! She is very patient and takes lots of time needed to get the good shots. One of my favorite sessions was my daughter’s newborn shoot. The pictures were beyond adorable! The props and bonnets she had were perfect. She even caught my girl smiling in her sleep! We love Cheryl’s work and would definitely recommend her to anyone!

Cheryl captured my daughter’s 1^st year beautifully. We purchased the first years reflections package and were absolutely happy with each session. She provided propts and ideas for locations. She did a fantastic job working with my squirmy and at times moody baby and was very gentle when working with my newborn. We will be going back to Cheryl when baby #2 comes.

Cheryl has photographed both of my children since they were newborns. My son is now 4 and I will not go anywhere else. I did the 1^st year reflections package with both of my kids and its worth every penny! I have never been disappointed with any of the photos she does. I will continue to have both my kids and family photos done with her every year till the end if time. Nowadays everyone thinks they can be a photographer but you don’t get the quality and professionalism of a REAL photographer. I would recommend Cheryl to anyone and everyone looking to get their portraits done.

Cheryl is an amazing photographer! She has photographed our family for the past three years and we have loved all of them. Love her style and how much fun she makes the session. Our daughter who initially did not not to take photos had a blast and loves seeing Cheryl every year. If your looking for quality custom photography, Cheryl is the perfect choice!

Simply put, Cheryl is an amazing photographer! My husband and I have been married for 29 yrs. and have had our family portraits done only twice and have been less than thrilled with the results both times. Maybe that’s why it’s taken us 15 yrs. to update them, but with a new grand son and a new son in law… it was time. Cheryl let us choose where we wanted the photo’s taken and came prepared with many props and cute little toys for our grandson. The photo shoot took much more time than expected because our 3 yr. old «Mr. Grumpy Pants» had no nap and was not being cooperative that day. Poor Cheryl, she did everything to get him to smile and pose for the camera (including being repeatedly struck in the head by a stuffed animal).
In the end, we were SO thrilled with the photo’s she captured of our family. I was especially thrilled that as early as the next day she had a few «teaser» shots sent my way. Cheryl pays close attention to details and lighting and takes time to edit photo’s so they look their best. We found her pricing very reasonable, especially given the quality of her photography. I can’t wait for our family to continue to grow so we can have our portraits taken by Cheryl again!

Cheryl photographed my teenagers many years ago. She captured them perfectly. She has continued to grow her skill and amazes me with everything she touches. Last year I had her photograph me and my husband and was so pleased with the results. She captured our magic! Love you Cheryl, you are the best!

Cheryl is wonderful! She’s a natural with babies and you can tell she really enjoys her job. I’m thrilled with the photos she’s taken of my baby girl and look forward to working with her for my daughter’s many milestones to come.

Cheryl has been photographing my daughter since she was around three years old. She has done such a wonderful job of capturing my daughter’s personality that all of the pictures are still on display; I can’t bear to cover them up with updated ones! My daughter is now 24 years old, with children of her own, and Cheryl photographed the oldest one and the result was the same. She also photographed my cat, Forrest, who has one milky eye and no teeth due to an allergy, and she made him look extremely handsome! Cheryl has a talent and a gift for being able to «see» someone’s personality and inner self, and she brings that out in her work. I would never consider having anyone else do any important photography. She is the best, hands-​down.

Our daughter’s high school graduation portraits greatly exceeded our highest hopes! When we received the prints her proud papa’s eyes actually misted over. Thank you for working so hard to make the photo shoot so much fun and for expertly handling all of the details. This exciting time in our life has been beautifully captured by your talented eye. Thank you for a job perfectly done.

Cheryl does absolutely lovely work. I would recommend her to anyone for her professional work, simply stunning results.
