We absolutely loved working with Zeynep for couples shoot. When we saw her portfolio, we were impressed with her work and loved the unique detailed shots. She was very flexible, working around our schedule for the shoot date. It is not easy for me to act naturally while taken photos but she made us feeling comfortable and relaxed. She was very patient and knows how to make you feel at home.
She was able to give great directions when needed and shot all the best simple moments where we shined! When we received the full portfolio - all in color and in black and white, we were blown away. We've already recommended her to our friends. Would definitely recommend to any couple! Thank you Zeynep.

Not to brag, but the photos from our session with Zeynep are AMAZING! Did a pre-wedding shoot and everyone in my family was blown away by how fantastic everything turned out. The studio is adorable and comfortable, photographer is detail-oriented and patient. We're so happy with the prints and I can't wait to go back for a boudoir shoot asap!

We absolutely LOVE Plus One Photography! We have been repeat happy clients, because the quality is like none other. Initially, we did our maternity photo session because I fell in-love with the gallery, and wanted to recreate those same dreamy (sexy/magical) images. Zeynep was so patient with helping me with wardrobe changes, getting us to pose just right, and capturing the right timing/lighting.
We got sooo many compliments, that I decided to get newborn photos (which are adorable & whimsical). A year later, we wanted one year/family photos to place on the adjacent wall in our livingroom. Zeynep did so well with my daughter, and was somehow was able to manage capturing the sweetest moments (despite her being fussy that day). These pictures I'm posting don't give justice to the quality of the photos. These are wonderful family heirlooms now, and to cherish forever! HIGHLY RECOMMEND Plus One Photography- best investment ever!

I have followed Plus One Photography for a while and admired her work. when I found out I was pregnant I knew right away who I wanted to do my maternity shoot. Plus One Photography. I had a fabulous experience, I felt comfortable, and confident through out my whole maternity shoot. I would highly recommend Plus One Photography to expecting families.

First of all, she's an amazing person! She is very kind and considerate. Her talent is SUPERB! Before we decided to book her, we meet her in person and she explained everything we need to know. She was honest and and very professional. Transaction was smooth. We just had our photos with the album and I was blown away! The quality of the product is EXCELLENT!
We are very impressed and 101% satisfied. Pictures were amazing despite of the weather at the time of the shooting, she manage to make it beautiful. If there are more star to give her i will! One of the best experience I had! I definitely recommend her.

There is nothing more wonderful than the output from a photo session with Zeynep. Just this morning I was sitting with my daughter looking at the pregnancy and 1 year old shots that Zeynep took of my family now three and four years ago. We treasure this work. My daughter LOVES looking at these memories and we cherish them tremendously. There is no one else I'd hire to commemorate such a special moment in my life. Zeynep is generous and kind hearted, connecting with both couples and children. I look forward to working with her again in the future.

We were automatically drawn to her work when we were researching maternity and newborn photographers in the area. besides being a talented photographer, she has a graphic design background which really sets her apart from others. she incorporates your pictures into illustrations she creates.and the illustrations are so amazing! zeynep also has an incredible eye: we recently took pictures in the rose garden of balboa park and the pictures ended up looking like we were in the middle of a dreamy forest! the best part is that she's so fun to work with. she was great with our daughter who is normally shy when she first sees you. if you have any ideas, she runs with it.and the end product is incredible!
