Barbara Alessandra Photography

I loved my boudoir photo shoot with Barbara. She has a great energy and made me feel comfortable right away. She also told me exactly how to pose and used a couple of different backgrounds for the shoot, including a very cool art studio. The photographs are perfect and look like they could be in a fashion magazine. Barbara is clearly very talented and has a good eye for light and composition. The book I received was very high quality. I also loved the hair and makeup artist Barbara used — I’ve had my hair and makeup done many times and I don’t think it’s ever looked better! The experience itself was a lot of fun and I definitely think it’s worth the investment. I think it’s as much a gift for yourself as it is for your partner, so if you’re hesitating, just do it!

I couldn’t have DREAMED of better photos. And I swear I thought our baby daughter never cracked a smile all day, then I saw the photos and her toothy grin was in almost every one! Barbara works magic! She knows how to capture that perfect moment – real but stunning!
We’ve worked with Barbara for both our wedding photos and our first set of family photos – both are still my absolute favorite images. She is hands-​down the best.

Barbara is a wonderful person and awesome photographer. She has worked with us on three different occasions (maternity, birth & newborn photography) and we are so happy we chose her! The pictures she takes — and then edits — capture the moment and are purely beautiful… She was very professional, personal and adaptive to the different settings (not every person is a good fit to be present while you give birth!). We highly recommend Barbara — we will treasure her pictures for the rest of our lives! Also, for what you get, her pricing is very reasonable.

We used Barbara for our wedding at the Montecito Country Club and she was fabulous! She made sure to meet with us ahead of time and put together a list of all of the «must have» photos so that on the day of we didn’t have to do any thinking. She was creative and not too cheesy with her ideas for group & couple photos. She also maintained a calm, yet authoritative attitude throughout the whole day, reassuring me that she had everything covered! We were so pleased with our photos and have received countless compliments on how beautiful they are!

I first met Barbara more than 2.5 years ago, my husband and I chose Barbara as our wedding photographer. We loved her style and her price for the quality couldn’t be beat. We were super happy with our engagement pictures and ecstatic when she gave us our wedding pictures and slide show.
For our wedding she shot in both film and digital and really caught the romance of the day as well as the joy of our family and friends. Barbara is amazing and comes into her element when she is behind the camera and made us feel so comfortable.
I recently saw that Barbara was going to start doing Boudior and always wanted to do it and knew that she would put such a fun spin on it. We did our shoot yesterday at a swanky/​fun hotel in west hollywood and it was such a blast! I am not a sexy person, but Barbara made me feel so confident and good about myself that I had no problem strutting my stuff knowing that she knew what to do to make me look amazing.
Barbara is extremely talented photographer, and a great person. I can’t wait to see these newest pictures and know that I will someday work with her again :)
