Dreambox Photography

Tea Ho did a family portrait session at my home and in my neighborhood for my son’s first birthday. The pictures were fantastic! We had my mother in law in town and I asked Tea to focus many of the pictures on grandma since she is usually behind the camera. Finally, we have a bunch of lovely pictures of grandma and her first grandson. I used them to make a great New Year’s card, a calendar, and I keep reprinting more and more since word has gotten around and everyone wants their own copies. My family can be a bit disorganized, but Tea was amazingly patient. Also, my son was getting tired, and despite his increasingly bad mood, Tea made him look like the happiest baby on earth! No wonder — her personality is so great that she was able to get my son to smile over and over again — and the adults too! One other thing that I have to mention is that my family and I are in love with my neighborhood and Tea brought out the beauty of Berkeley’s trees, the various plants and houses, and of course — Berkeley’s distinctive filtered light.
Bottom line: If you want to spend a great day with a lovely lady who has a relaxed manner, a creative approach, and the professional skills to capture the best of you, your family, and your setting — Dreambox is your place.

Hard not to adore this woman just on personality alone and then she does her thing and she is just amazing!!! She did our engagement pictures and our wedding 2 days ago and I could not have been more happy with working with her. She is so good at what she does I was laughing and having so much fun with her. I know it seems odd to be writing the review before we get our pictures back but I know based on my engagement pictures that she is an amazing photographer. This review is more about how she was so on top of everything, was on time, GREAT to be around, everyone was talking about how great she was. I am so excited to see my pictures when she is all done!!! Do not let her small cute size fool you, when it is time for business she gets the job done and will stop at nothing to get a great shot. I hope in the future we have a reason to need a photographer again so we can call her. Tea, you are wonderful.

Tea is the cutest. My fiancé and I are getting married this summer, and so far, we’ve met with her once initially and once for the engagement shoot. In the initial meeting, she asked us all sorts of get-​to-​know-​you type questions, just to get an idea of what sort of mood and feel the photos would have. Then she did a word association where she shot out word after word and we gave our reactions to each word. The initial meeting was a total delight.
Then for the engagement shoot, she accommodated us at 3 locations and with 3 outfit changes, in addition to stopping home and grabbing our puppy so that she could be in the shots at the last location. Everything turned out beautifully, and we got far more pictures than we thought we would. I love that her style doesn’t involve a lot of poses or cheesiness. Everyone who’s seen our pictures has commented on how genuinely happy we look, and how beautifully she captured our relationship.
I can’t wait to see what she does with the wedding!

Tea’s photography is top notch. She knows exactly what she’s doing and has a great artistic eye. Her couples shoots in particular do a great job evoking a sense of story and playfulness and will be a great memento of that special person in your life.
She’s also very professional and will do everything she can to make sure you are satisfied with the end result. Make sure you check out her portfolio!

I first saw Teas work on the wedding blog
. I was impressed by the quality of her work, and I really liked her style of photography. I was so glad when Tea turned out to be free during our wedding weekend. She was very friendly and professional during our consultation, and we clicked immediately. During the wedding, everyone commented on how friendly and efficient she was. She did a great job taking photos of the all the little details of the wedding, and she warmed up to our guests and took terrific photos of them. We got married at the beach, and Tea very gamely took off her shoes and jumped into the surf with us to take what became some of the best photos of the day. She was just as easy to work with after the wedding. She promptly gave us a password to access the photos on a website, and she also mailed us a CD with all our photos. And everyone was blown away by them.
Hiring Tea was the best decision we made. I highly recommend her. My husband and I will definitely turn to her again to document some of the most important times of our lives – from first children to other important milestones.

My husband and I were married a few weeks ago and had the wonderful opportunity to work with the amazingly talented Tea for both our engagement session and our wedding. She was poised, professional, enthusiastic, and passionate about her work and our events! We felt so comfortable working with her as if she’s been a friend all along. Her photos are brilliant! She seemed to capture every moment to give us a genuine feel for this amazing life-​changing event! I can’t wait to hire her again!
