Ultra Spective

Amazing, empowering, energizing, wonderful experience with Anna and her crew over the years! I have had two professional head-and-shoulder photo shoots and four boudoir sessions over the last 8 years and have ALWAYS been thrilled with the process and results. Anna and Chrissy are both experts in flattering and dramatic lighting as well as positioning of the face and body for epic results.

In the last 8 years I have gained and lost weight, gained and lost muscle, and gone gray -- and every session showcases the most beautiful, the most powerful, and the sexiest me I am in the moment. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Ultra-spective, and I'll be back.

I was ditched on the name of Self Love. In spite of making the expectations clear, Anna tried to sell her work in the name of Self Love. whereas she need to get real and deliver as per customers expectation or say no and return the money, when its not possible. I should have identified the desperation.

These ladies fed my soul and made me look AMAZING! I am so thankful to have met them and choose them to do a boudoir shoot. I could not be happier with the way the photo's came out and could not believe it was me! I am not a thin woman and was not confident or READY to do anything like this. But took a chance and thank god I did! Anna and Christina did an amazing job making this chubby chick look sexy and gave me the confidence boost that I needed! Ladies no matter your size these ladies know EXACTLY how to get the most out of you to make your shoot look fantastic!

Anna and Christina are the best! They have a way of putting you at ease and getting the best shots possible!

I can't say enough about this studio, again I feel more like family than a customer.love, love love!

Anna is a class-act, 100%! She is a brilliant photographer! She puts you right at ease. Her studio is clean and professional! I recommend her anytime!

I've recently had the experience of boudoir pictures with Christy and she really is amazing, she was accommodating and comforting, and made me feel confident enough to actually go through with the experience. The whole team is very welcoming. I've also done family pictures and the canvases and prints that were purchased were well worth the money spent. Everything I've purchased is high quality. Completely love it!

Great photo studio! Friendly staff and great results of their photo shoot. Probably the best studio in Tri-Valley.

Ultra-Spective is truly the way to go! We hired Anna to be our photographer for our big day. She was wonderful! From our engagement session, which was included in the package, through the entirety of the wedding, Anna and team were fantastic to work with. They just made taking pictures easy and comfortable. Crissy (maybe misspelling) was Anna's assistant on the day of the weeding.

She was instrumental in assisting my wife with her dress, setting up the shots, and organizing the family for the group pictures. Not only are they great to work with, the photos are breath taking. We wouldn't recommend any other photographer more than Ultra-Spective to capture your wedding day. Tip: Ultra-Spective offers a "guest-book", which is a compilation of pictures taken during the engagement session organized in a book with custom prompts such as "give the newly weds advice". We used this as the guest book at our wedding and it was perfect! High recommend!

Great photography. We loved our pictures. I just wish they cut down a bit on their prices.

Anna is an amazing talent. Her team is solid, friendly and professional. I hired Anna to photograph my daughter's wedding many years ago and was blown away by her photos. I have recommended her to everyone I know and have gone back to her studio myself for promo shots. My daughter recently had a boudoir session and the shots were gorgeous. Highly recommended!

Ultra-Spective did my company's head shots today and I am so glad we selected to use their services for this. From start to finish, they were super easy to work with, have a great pricing structure, and very helpful with recommendations and ideas. I felt like they wanted me to get the most out of the experience and the photography team they sent out, Derek and Christina, were fun and accommodating, and made everyone feel comfortable.

I snuck a peek at some of the shots--these guys are pros. They showed up early and stuck around to make sure there wasn't anything else that they could do for us afterwards. Stellar service and product--couldn't recommend them more! :-

I needed a professional headshot for my website, LinkedIn page, and Facebook profile, and was overwhelmed by the responses from friends and family! "Beautiful" "Wow!" "Amazing" were just some of the adjectives. I cannot thank you enough for bringing out my personality in the photo, and making the whole process so much fun! Thank you Derek, Chrissie and Crystal (as well as Crystal from Strands Salon in LIvermore for the hair styling and makeup)!

The Haute Pink boudoir photo session was one of the best photo shoot experiences I've ever had. Ultra-spective helped me schedule the session when I was ready physically and mentally. Let's be honest here - stripping down to your skivvies or nothing at all isn't the easiest thing to do! The ultra-spective staff provided exceptional customer service from beginning to end.

They were attentive, helpful, provided recommendations on outfits, and they listened to what I wanted. Crystal: thanks for working with me. Your pre-photo shoot support and patience was much appreciated! I had an hour before my photo shoot session for hair and makeup with Crystal N. and she completely did away with any nervous jitters I walked in with.

She listened to me explain my vision for the shoot and she executed on the styling flawlessly. I was definitely happy I paid a little extra for the professional hair and makeup. During the session, I was amazed at the level of comfort I had with Anna. She was prepared and open to incorporate ideas I had been gathering prior to the photo shoot. She gave very specific direction on movements and looks.

I felt at ease and confident she made me look my very best. I left the shoot feeling on top of the world! It was a blast! The pictures. My husband and I couldn't be happier. He was blown away, and I walked away from this experience with an increased sense of my beauty as a wife and mother of two. I'm so very thankful Anna captured me, in my truest and most vulnerable form. Chrissy, thanks for making our photo preview such a fun and positive experience!

And for letting my husband drive the selection of photos for his photo book! I definitely had an opinion but it was refreshing to see things from his perspective. Thank you to the entire ultra-spective team for creating such a beautiful memory for me to hold on to.

A friend purchased bought me a Groupon certificate as a baby shower gift. We did the intial newborn session and that's it. They were friendly and did very well with the baby but there were setbacks. They hardly have any weekend openings and secondly the photo packages are outrageous. You can get better photos and all the digital copies for way less. My recommendation is to look at some free lance photographers.

Purchased a Groupon for baby's first year package. Paid $99 for the package which included multiple sessions and $375 credits. Only did the maternity session. Everything went great. Staff is very nice and welcoming. When it came time to pick what to take home there came the challenge. We were only allotted $75 in credits as the baby firs year package only allows $75 credit *per session*.

We chose a collage which came out beautifully. We still wound up paying $500 for the session and rights to digital copies. To me, this was way too much money to be spending on portraits. Overall it was a great experience but it was very pricey. Sadly, we will not be returning.

I have been going to Ultra-Spective Photography since 2009 when we did a family photo shoot for Christmas gifts for relatives. Since then I have had maternity, newborn, kids, pets, headshots and corporate environment for my employer, and boudoir photo sessions. I have always been impressed with the entire staff from booking appointments (and getting clothing and look advice w/Crystal), to the photographers (especially Anna the owner & Christina - I am partial just because I have been with them the most). Now, the pictures - AMAZING they always seem to be able to capture great photos for me and my family and friends.

I have referred numerous people to them and will continue to do so and use them for all of life's milestones! Thank you Anna and the entire Ultra-Spective team! (Next up, booking one of those Hawaii sessions;)

Blown away! For years, I wanted to do a boudoir photo session, but it's a little scary finding a photographer when you're considering taking your clothes off. Ultra-spective is the epitome of professionalism. From the manager (Crystal), the hair stylist/make up artist (another Crystal), to the photographer (Christina), I did not feel uncomfortable at any point during the entire process.

They are simply amazing! Christina made me feel at ease and I had so much fun working with her! She is such a fantastic photographer. When I saw my photos, I was absolutely stunned! I couldn't believe that was me! They were gorgeous! It was a very empowering experience! And. it's worth mentioning that my husband thoroughly enjoyed watching the prepared slideshow at the studio and picking out the images for his little black book :) Seriously. don't think twice about giving this place a call. They are well worth it!

For customer service alone.5 stars! We purchased the Groupon for maternity shoot.the price was right UNTIL we got to the photo purchase. Beware, these photos are expensive! But the quality is nice and if you're taking once in a lifetime photos.it might be worth it to you. I don't remember our photographers name, but at the 2 shoots we did they were both pleasant.

Nothing amazing as far as personality goes but the overall shoot was comfortable and we didn't feel rushed. We got some really amazing candids of my son and husband that I cherish everyday! We live far and the store isn't open on weekends so that is a downer. But the real review starts and ends with the overall patience and service I received from the manager, Crystal. Crystal really REALLY worked with me!

Our budget was tight (we were not expecting the super expensive cost after already buying he Groupon) and she worked with us. We ended up spending a lot more than we planned, but I got everything I wanted and more. She personalized our canvas collage and has made it into a family treasure. If you don't mind spending a little more than typical.you'll get your money's worth. There's such a small window of time to capture these types of precious photos. We are very happy with the end product.

I can't say enough nice things about Anna and the crew at ultra-spective! I initially heard about ultra-spective from my sister who had a photo shoot with her critters with photographer Jessie behind the lens. The photos turned out GORGEOUS and so when it came time for my fiance and I to choose a photographer for our engagement photos, ultra-spective was a natural choice! Anna Vickroy (the owner) ended up shooting our engagement session herself with Jessie assisting and I couldn't be happier with how our photos came out.

We started out by the Lake Del Valle reservoir to take some pics by the water and then moved locations to Sycamore Grove to finish the sesh. Two locations and three wardrobe changes later, the pics turned out amazing. Anna and her team do amazing things with lighting and are super flexible to accomodate what the customer wants. We have gotten so many compliments on our photos and I can't wait to see how our wedding pics turn out =). Yay ultra-spective!

Amazing pictures. Professional staff. Beautiful studio. I first used them when I wanted maternity pictures taken. They had a packaged deal where you could get your hair and makeup done and then pictures taken. I looked (and felt) so beautiful after she was done with my hair and makeup! She then said that she wanted us to go to a local park and take the pictures.

She got a lot of great pictures with different backgrounds. I loved them because they were different than your traditional "maternity" pictures in a studio. The second time that we went to the studio was from seeing a project that one of their photographers was working on. She was creating an entire book of pictures of twins (or multiples). She thought that it would be a fun project to do since she is a twin.

I thought that this would be a great project to be apart of. We set up our appointment and the twins got their pictures taken. We ordered some additional pictures as well. When the book was finished, we received a copy of it. I think that it's one of those things that can't be replicated. I know that they have grown even more and moved again from their downtown location to a larger space.

I won't search for another photographer or company. You're paying for quality and quality is what you get with Ultra-Spective. For those important, once-in-a-lifetime moments, I will choose them to capture those moments on film.
