Testimonials 

“Made our clients feel comfortable”

Linda made our clients (wedding couple) feel comfortable and relaxed. As I worked with them through hiring a photographer, I know they were intimidated and shy in thinking about their day and being the "main subjects." Linda naturally made them feel at ease through her bubbly personality, while capturing each of their beauty. The photographs show their day perfectly - warm and fun with a quiet, but powerful presence! We are so thrilled with the results.

- Andrew, A.Carey Events

Excellent Communicator

I was blown away by how good my wedding pictures turned out! I can’t express enough how happy I am with Linda’s services. She was able to direct and pose us to grab some absolutely STUNNING shots. Not only is she an amazing photographer but she is a wonderful person as well. She made us feel comfortable and was so flexible during our hectic wedding day. She was an excellent communicator and got our pictures to us way quicker than I expected. I am so pleased with our photos and will be using Linda again in the future! - Lauren

Warm

“There weren’t too many tears, surprisingly! I think we can say Linda had a lot to do with that! She knew to give the kiddos breaks, she has the warmest smile and just the sweetest personality. And obviously, she’s INCREDIBLY talented!

Thank you so much Linda for capturing my family. I couldn’t be happier!” - Kaitlyn

Visual Storyteller

I adore working with Linda and highly recommend her! I have hired her as a food photographer for my restaurant as well as a lifestyle photographer for my personal brand and website. Initially, my appreciation for her work as a blogger, visual storyteller, and photographer inspired me to work with her. From there, I learned that she is not only passionate, creative, and flexible, but she also has an eye for detail and a talent for making you feel relaxed and at ease, which allows her to draw out and capture all the right emotions.

Made Me Feel So Comfortable and Special

“I had Linda take some photos of me and she did a fantastic job! I’m so bad at having pictures taken but she made me feel so comfortable and special.” - Preethi

 

“I saw myself in a way that I didn't know was possible”

I feel like I should give a full disclosure that Linda is a close friend of mine, but it still didn't make it any less nerve-wracking for me to do a boudoir shoot with her! I had been going through a difficult time in my life, started taking better care of myself, and when I finally started feeling comfortable in my own skin for the first time, I wanted something to remember it by. Linda helped ease me into things and made me feel so comfortable during the shoot, coaching me along to show me at my best while also respecting my comfort zones if I started getting nervous. While the shooting process in itself was fun, the thing I appreciate the most about Linda's photography is that while the photos are edited to enhance things like lighting and general color correction, they were never photoshopped to the point that they were beyond recognition. I saw myself in a way that I didn't know was possible, but without making me feel like I couldn't live up to an overly manufactured image of myself. I have Linda to thank for giving me that new sense of self-confidence that still lingers to this day.

Fast Turnaround

"Linda was a wonderful photographer during our kid's "American Ninja Warrior" birthday party. I knew I would have my hands full with such an active party, and Linda came to take care of capturing the best moments so I could run around and make sure everyone's needs were met (getting parents drinks, keeping kids safe, enjoying my family). Linda kept pace with those active kids, and she followed each child as he/she went through each obstacle, capturing the best moments. She was also very loving and gentle with them, and they were comfortable with her and so she got great shots in the process. She was the first to show up, and the last to leave. Linda even helped me set up the cupcakes and clean up! And her turnaround time on getting us the photos was fast. We got them just a few days after the party. Linda Nguyen went above and beyond, and we highly recommend Curious Notions Photography for your next special event." - Christine

Truly Cares

"Linda took our engagement photos and was willing to take them a second time because our dogs were crazy the first time. She truly cares about the happiness of others which is greatly appreciated... especially when photos are forever. I am incredibly happy with the outcome of our photos. Our save the dates look amazing thanks to Linda!" - Julie

Attentive and Professional

These are amazing!! David and I are so happy that all these beautiful moments are forever captured. We cannot wait to share these with our families.

It was an honor to work with you. You have been so kind, attentive, and professional. You have really helped us feel less intimated and awkward about picture-taking. We really appreciate everything that you have done for us.
