Clementine Studio SF, Alameda CA

We have worked with Carolyn for several years now, and we just love her. The photo session itself is fun, and she's amazing at putting both adults and kids in the best frame of mind. And then the photos she captures are so special. Each year, they capture where we are in that moment in time so vividly and purely. I think she's really talented, and I love her to pieces.

What an amazing experience! Caroline and Clementine Studio did a wonderful job, not only with our pictures but also with making the shoot relaxed and fun! We really cherish the pictures (which are beautifully composed), but the shoot was so much fun that we have the memory of that special family experience. Our kids are no easy feat, but Caroline managed them and kept them engaged throughout. And now we have a gorgeous record of a really special day for our family. And it's comoletely reasonable to boot! If you are looking for someone to capture your family in a unique moment, you owe it to yourself and your family to use Clementine Studio!

I've been using Caroline for years to document our growing family. She's been always super professional and just has a special way to gather my little one's attention. Both Child and furry child! Every year we hire her she makes the extra effort to remember some iconic shots from our last shoots to recreate! We love that, and she is just super sweet and easy going.:) Always a fun day for all of us.

My husband and I are so happy we chose Carolyn to photograph our family for our holiday cards this year! I love what spunk and thoughtfulness Carolyn possesses, and her photography is spot on. Carolyn's attention to detail throughout the process made for a smooth experience and had us completely prepared for our session. My daughters loved hanging out with her and even asked when she could take their photos again. We love Carolyn!

I absolutely loved working with Carolyn and Clementine Studio SF! We took professional photos with our 1-year old twins and Carolyn was so patient and fun with them! She had a calming presence and kept the mood light and got so many great photos for us. I highly recommend working with Carolyn.

Carolyn is so fantastic - she made our session such a blast and it's really wonderful to look at the photos she made and feel how excited we all are about this next phase, bringing a new babe into the world! There are some really amazing moments and feelings she captured in this series. She put me at ease, made me feel like I was killin' it (and having photos taken CAN feel so awkward - but it never did with Carolyn!) and made it FUN.

I just keep looking through the photos and pouring over the details - looks, the beautiful light, the awesome family.:)

I'm so thankful to have worked with her.

Carolyn is a stellar photographer and is AMAZING with kids regardless of their temperament. Her photos have fabulous lighting and she is on point with capturing candid and natural moments with any and all photoshoots. The toughest part is choosing which prints to frame - there were so many good ones. Highly recommend Clementine Studio for any and all occasions!

Carolyn did a great shoot for our holiday card, in October 2020! First off, she kindly rescheduled our initial shoot date because that day had unhealthy air quality. The shoot itself was fun and efficient- she's good at picking good angles/views, and also good at getting the attention of our baby! The resulting pictures were all fantastic, and she offers a variety of packages/prices. We strongly recommend her!

We've had multiple photo sessions with Carolyn and we cherish the photos she's taken. She does a wonderful job engaging our young children and capturing their personalities so well. It's clear how thoughtful she is in making sure we have a great experience from making an appointment to delivery. We can't wait for the next one!

Carolyn has taken our annual family photos for several years. She is amazing. Great locations, awesome shots, and always a pleasure to work with - highly recommend!

We just had a baby June 2020 and while I really wanted indoor newborn photos in our home with Carolyn, because COVID, we decided to wait until later in the year to be able to take outdoor family photos and I AM SO HAPPY WITH THE RESULTS!

Carolyn was so patient and understanding scheduling our family session. It took months to get a date narrowed down for various reasons but once we met outdoors and in person, all the stars aligned and we had a fantastic time running around and taking photos with our then 2 years 9 months old and 3 month old.

Being a toddler is tough and Carolyn knew exactly how to communicate and interact with our son so that his curiosity, happiness and energy shined in photos. Our 3 month old, totally confused for most of the time, literally stared at the camera non-stop wondering what was happening. It was fantastic. We got a good variety of solo photos of our kids and family photos that we'll cherish forever.

I appreciate Carolyn's positive energy, I love her photo style, and she really makes the whole experience painless from beginning to end. So thankful to have these photos forever. They're only little once!

Carolyn was amazing. She made it feel comfortable and easy, and with 2 kids, that is an accomplishment. She captured some great, REAL, moments, not just a bunch of poses and fake smiles. It was a fun session, my son enjoyed showing off for her, and several of the photos she took in one session are on our photo wall and in frames throughout the house. I love looking at them and sharing them. Highly recommend.

Working with Carolyn is a treat. She is creative and fun; my kids actually enjoy being photographed by her because she makes it feels like a game! She captures the feel of our family by engaging each of us as an individual and as a group. Carolyn listens to what we want and adds her own flare to make our photos so much more than we could have imagined. I'm so glad that we have made her mini-session a yearly tradition.

We were fortunate enough to work with Carolyn for a short, 30-minute mini session, and it was such a pleasure having our family photos taken by her. Carolyn’s energy and enthusiasm were infectious and my kids had a great time posing for her and doing various jumps, leaps and ‘stunts’! The session itself was quick and easy and Carolyn came up with some really fun, creative backdrops for our family photos. The finished product was delivered within the timeframe she specified and the photos were even better than we could have imagined; gorgeously shot photos that captured our family (individually and together) perfectly. We highly recommend Carolyn as she is professional, quick to respond, fun, engaging and a total pleasure to work with.

Carolyn was fantastic to work with! Having done several photo shoots over the years, I can safely say she the best I have worked with. I had her do some professional shots as well as a session with my family and both came out amazing. More importantly, she put all of at ease almost immediately and was a huge hit with my kids (they don't pay attention like that to us ;). I highly recommend her.

Carolyn was great to work with and we love our family photos from our session! She really captured our children's personalities and this crazy moment in time. It was a pleasure to work with Carolyn from beginning to end and she was organized, professional, and made us feel comfortable, even while following COVID safety precautions. We're looking forward to working with her again!

We will always, always treasure the photos Carolyn took of our family when our baby was 12 days old. That was such a sweet and special time and she captured all of us (including our very important pup!) so perfectly. She was also very easy to have in our home in a moment of real vulnerability and change. Can’t wait for her to capture our next family milestone.

We absolutely loved working with Carolyn. Not only does she take stunning photos, she's incredibly responsive, thorough, helpful, and we ended up with some surprise extras along the way! She made booking very easy, gave great tips on picking outfits, and was an absolute hit on the day-of. She made my young kids (4 and 1.5yo) feel super at-ease, and even my reluctant/curmudgeon husband said - unbidden - that he thought Carolyn did a super job of ensuring a very smooth photoshoot that included all our requested shots and many others we never could have gotten ourselves. Highly highly recommend, and we'll definitely be going back to Carolyn as the years go on. Oh - and did I mention she did all of this during Covid? She was very respectful about maintaining distance and wearing a mask on a sweltering day. We absolutely love and cherish our family photos and look forward to the next time:)
