I have seen Mia twice, once in Walnut Creek, and the 2nd time in Hayward. Both locations are in nice areas, and are clean and safe. In my opinion her pictures are some of the most accurate out there, she delivers on what she advertises and we all know the price going in. Knowing this I think it would be difficult to find better at what she delivers.
I am sure I am not alone on this last point. I have spent more on sessions with others, who are not close to the pictures that are used or the services that are advertised. Just chalk it up as experience.
