Description

Specialties

Full Moon Photography specializes in newborn, maternity and family photography using natural light.

Imperfection can lead to picture-​perfect moments. What I want to do is capture that fleeting millisecond to create an image that makes your heart go, «Wow!»

Candid. Joyful. Artistic. Raw.

History

Established in 2010.

What is a picture perfect moment? It’s all the imperfect seconds between looking at the camera lens, when you chuckle at your spouse smoothing down a cowlick, when your son decides it’s the perfect time to pick his nose and show it off to the world, when your daughter prances around in her new red glitter mary janes, or when the baby just can’t stop giggling to the rattle of her toy maraca.

Families are dynamic in their own ways. It’s important to document them just as they are; funny, unexpected, imperfect, sometimes-​chaotic-​but-​always-​beautiful and pure.

From a newly engaged couple and eight-​day-​old newborns to hysterical toddlers and adoring grandparents, I strive to create unique and memorable images for my clients that reflect the essence and personality of each family. Through my lens — as a wife, mother, pet parent, writer, talker, walker and boba milk tea drinker — I want to tell your story and capture the awesomeness that is YOU.

I love a good debate, talking to intelligent people who don’t have the same viewpoint but who share ideas that I can learn from.

We had the pleasure of working with Nguyet for our baby’s 9 month old photo shoot and for some pictures with my family whom were visiting from outside the country. Nguyet was very responsive with my emails and accommodative with my schedule. She had some great suggestions on when and where to have the photo shoot which are reflected in the final product which we just received and absolutely love! Our baby was sick on the day of the shoot and didn’t get many individual shots so she kindly suggested that we go to her studio another day when he gets better even though studio pictures were not part of the package we chose — a true testament to her love for her work and ensuring that her clients are 100% happy and satisfied! We couldn’t have asked for a better set of family and baby pictures! We would highly recommend her.

We haven’t done professional photos for a long time because we felt we liked «casual photos» instead. But we had an opportunity to have our family photo shot by Nguyet from Full Moon Photography and we jumped on it. I really wanted a nice Family photo (for Christmas cards) and a nice family photo of us all to hang on our wall at home. My husband was a tad reluctant about having a professional photographer because he hated the dreaded «POSING».
We had our photos planned for Irvine Regional Park and it turned out to be a super hot day… so I immediately called Nguyet and asked if we could just go to the beach instead. She was totally fine with the last minute change and met us at the beach within the hour.
She greeted us with a warm and friendly smile. She explained a few things and quickly started taking photos. Within minutes we were having fun! The beach WAS the perfect place! We have always hated the fake «posing photos». You will not get that kind of photo with Nguyet. She takes «REAL» photos… of REAL PEOPLE… BEING REAL!
When it came time to check out the photos that Nguyet had taken I was pleasantly surprised how COOL they were. We got the BEST Christmas family photo EVER! We LOVE it! We also picked a totally different photo for our wall at home… It is AWESOME! Nguyet definitely has an eye for photography! She captured some really loving (and FUN) moments of us with our 2 boys!
She is professional, FUN and organized. She puts her time into the presentation of the finished product! I highly recommend Nguyet… and I have recommended Nguyet!

Nguyet is excellent! From the process of booking through to her personally handing you the finished product, is made 100% stress free. She is thorough, patient, warm, she has great attention to detail, and will go the extra mile to capture that «perfect» shot. I have used her for personal and business purposes and her level of care and professionalism is consistent whatever your photographic requirements are. I will certainly be using her services again.

We had a wonderful experience with Full Moon Photography & Nguyet. I had my baby a week early and she was extremely accommodating to fit us in early for our newborn photo shoot. We got some beautiful shots of our newborn and 2 year old. Not many people can get a 2 year old & newborn to cooperate but she certainly did! We appreciate all of her hard work and beautiful pictures. We will cherish them forever. Thank you so much!

We have used Nguyet on several occasions for family portraits, kids’ holiday sessions and our newborn twins’ portraits. Nguyet is always easy to work with, very responsive when it comes to returning emails and phone calls, and she always gets proofs and final images out in a prompt manner. Our pictures have always turned out great, and we were particularly happy with our newborn twins’ photos. She must have spent at least 3 – 4 hours on our twins’ session, first getting some great family portraits and then patiently waiting for the babies to be fed, changed and fall asleep to capture the sweetest pictures that we will treasure forever. She also did a great job including our older daughter and making her feel special, too. I definitely recommend Nguyet!

Nguyet is an amazing photographer. I have had the pleasure to work with her on four different occasions and have never been disappointed. Nguyet has photographed my extended family twice, and also took my maternity and newborn photos. She has a special way with children. It is not easy taking pictures of 6 children, 4 under the age of 4, and getting some fabulous pictures! Also the newborn photos that she took are precious!
One thing I especially admire about Nguyet is that she is very organized and professional. She makes an extra effort to research the chosen photo shoot area to make sure she will get the best shots. She is clearly passionate about what she does which makes working with her every more incredible.

My wife and I originally had not planned on doing newborn photography photos, but it took the expertise of Nguyet to make us realize how much of a priceless investment it turned out to be. Nguyet was able to fit us into her schedule within a day’s notice (most places require you book months in advance!!!).
Nguyet was kind and patient with us and luckily our daughter was well behaved and asleep that day so the experience turned out to be one of the best moments of our lives. Nguyet captured some incredible shots of our little girl which we will cherish for the rest of our lives.
On top of being a talented photographer/​editor, her passion for customer service exceeds all else as she took the time to call us beforehand to discuss our needs/​wants/​expectations for a successful photoshoot, which my wife and I genuinely appreciated. She still continues to give us advice, tips, and suggestions on what works and what wouldn’t work, which we really value.
I highly recommend Nguyet Le Thomas of Full Moon Photography to anyone looking to invest in a quality newborn photoshoot. Her shots freeze a moment in time that you will never get back but will always cherish.
Thank you so much Nguyet for all of your amazing work.
Look forward to working with you again soon!!!
Regards,
Alyssa /​Brian /​Baby Zoe

Nguyet is awesome! She did my newborn and maternity photoshoots and did an amazing job. Despite being a cranky, sleep deprived new mother she encouraged me to get the photos done asap and made it a fun, easy process. I didn’t have to worry about bringing anything or dressing up the baby. She is very passionate and caring about her work and she does an amazing job. Will definitely use her again!

I just had Nguyet cover my graduation party at my house last weekend. She is so talented and was such a pleasure to work with.
She shot high quality shots, was very attentive to detail, organized, professional, and just so amazing! She is very passionate about what she does and her passion is what makes her such a great photographer. She was quick to understand what I wanted out of the event and worked closely with my mom and I to put together a photo album. I recommend her as an event photographer for any occasion! I can’t wait to work with her again for future events!

This review is LONG overdue but Full Moon is nothing more than amazing. Nguyet was very patient with our family and made sure she took all the right shots prior to moving to another setup. From the initial contact to producing the images, it was nothing less than perfection. My family & I are very pleased with the pictures that were taken & we are glad Nguyet played a part in bringing many memories we can share with our son as he gets older. Her amazing talent allows her to display complete professionalism, true artistry & a sense of comfort many seek for. This referral has been one of the best referrals I have ever received therefore, please allow Full Moon to shoot your next photoshoot, you will not be disappointed! Thank you again Nguyet!

Nguyet is a talented photographer with great attention to detail. She is punctual, organized, and professional. Nguyet creates a comfortable environment whether you choose an outdoor setting, or elect to have a session in her studio. We were lucky enough to experience both settings and can easily recommend either one.
Looking forward to working with Full Moon Photography again. FMP is great for all your portrait needs!

Not only is Nguyet extremely professional and a wonderful photographer, but she also has such a way with children that she is able to capture the most adorable moments. Nguyet did a newborn photography session for us when our son was 8 days old. She brought a heater so that he would be warm and comfortable during the session, which I really appreciated. My older son, who is a toddler, was having a bit of a difficult time adjusting to all the attention baby brother was receiving. Nguyet made him feel special, like a «model», and was able to capture amazing photos even when he wasn’t being very cooperative. During the session, we didn’t feel rushed and felt like Nguyet was spending quality time with our family. The pictures turned out beautiful and we will cherish them and those early moments with our newest addition. I would highly recommend her!

Nguyet Thomas takes pride in her work. She’s passionate about her field and makes her subjects feel at ease. She’s a mom! She understands children, their moods, and what makes them tick. She’s incredibly intelligent, talented, and just a great person to be around. We are very happy with our family photos and will have her «shoot» us again! LOL!

This was our family’s first «professional» photography session, and Nguyet made the process so much fun and comfortable! Nguyet is very family oriented and worked with us (great collaboration!) from beginning to end with patience and professionalism. She explained in detail and gave us lots of options (and her opinions) on every thing from location, poses, what to wear, etc. We highly enjoyed the process and got some great pics (both formal and some really fun ones)! Would use Nguyet again and highly recommend!

Nguyet is professional, energetic, and very easy to work with. She photographed my son’s 1st birthday party and took great care to capture the little details as well as the big moments. Her photos really tell a story, plus she’s a mother, so if you want a photographer that is patient and understands kids, Nguyet is a great choice!

My fiancé and I were blown away when we saw the proofs of our engagement photo session. Not only was Nguyet so fun and professional to work with, but she was able to capture our love and happiness on camera. We will cherish those photos the rest of our lives, and are so thankful we chose Full Moon Photography for our photo session. 5 star service all the way!

Nguyet took amazing shots of my daughter and I in Santa Monica. I had always wanted a photo shoot outdoors rather than our usual studio sittings, and it was so much fun. My daughter had a great time just being herself and running around, and Nguyet captured that light and joy. It was fun and professional, and I was extremely pleased with our photos! In fact, I ended up putting our photos on our holiday cards and received so many compliments on them. I’ll definitely use her services again in the future!
