Ranch and Sea Photography

Where do I begin? I purchased an Amazon Local deal back in September of 2013. I contacted Rebecca at Ranch & Sea Photography back in March, long before the voucher expired and due to a death in the family and a very packed schedule she asked that I contact her in 2 weeks. I was also told, although my voucher would expire when she would be available she would honor the voucher.
It has now been 3.5 months and I have yet to schedule our family photo session. I have provided all the text messages so you are able to see what a tough time I have had just trying to keep an appointment. It has been excuse after excuse and no response or even a returned phone call. I know she has read the e-​mail due to both of us having an iphone and it showing that the message was read.
Unfortunately, no matter how well you are at what you do the lack of customer service and respect to potential customers is unacceptable. You are running a business and should be responsible and maintain professionalism no matter what may arise in your personal life. There are many other talented photographers out there, please do not waste your time nor money on this one. Besides, 6 ratings on Unilocal is all this photographer has, clearly a small clientele for a reason.

My stepson was going to be visiting, a last minute deal, and I wanted to find an affordable photographer that could capture not just the smiles of the humans but those of our furry children too. I definitely found the right one! She was so patient and accommodating.
I bought a deal on Amazon Local for one session and consultation. She returned my call within a couple hours and then asked me a bunch of questions about what, where and how I wanted my photos to be taken. Since I am VERY picky about my photographs — particularly because I want my furry family to look good too — I was a little skeptical at first.
We met up a couple days later and she went somewhere I wanted to go — Lake Poway. It was very crowded on a weekend morning but somehow she managed to capture the entire experience. She sent a few pics as she was editing to ‘hold me over’ because I was so excited to get them. When I received my photos about a week after our session I couldn’t believe some of the images she took. She surprised all of us at some of the ‘secret’ photos she took — basically when we were just talking and not posing. I am going to attach one of my many favorites of the secretly captured moments I will treasure forever! Thanks Rebecca for capturing these once in a lifetime moments!

Rebecca was fantastic and her photos are great. She was very welcoming and personable especially with our little children. She took great action and candid shots as well as posed family pics. We highly recommend her and will call her again for our family shots!!!

We cannot say enough good things about Rebecca! Her energy, vibe, and natural eye for beauty makes us proud to say she is our official photographer. I was really stressed about doing shoots with 1100lb animals and teenagers. Seemed like a recipe for disaster, but Rebecca just has us do our thing and without even realizing it-​the shoot was over! She caught a ton of natural, candid shots that turned out AMAZING! Her photos have gotten our rescue horses a TON of attention. We love her AND her work!

Rebecca is an fantastic photographer.
You can really tell that she loves her craft .
She took some amazing sunset shots at my house…

Great photographs don’t just take themselves. They require an excellent photographer, one who knows how to get the most out of her subjects. If the photographer happens to have experience modeling, that could come in handy, too.
As an experienced model, Rebecca knows how to translate that knowledge into her work on the other side of the camera lens. Not only does she know how to use the lighting to best advantage, she also has an incredible demeanor with people and especially kids.
Using her people skills and her expertise behind the camera, Rebecca was able to consistently produce the kind of results my family had only dreamed of. We will be keeping images Rebecca was able to get for us for a generation or more.
In short, hiring Rebecca was a great decision, and she’s worth every penny.

Priceless photos for my family. What I love is that I can use them professionally as well. Thank you!
