Was efficient in taking passport photos according to the newer stricter regulations. He made sure the photos were flattering and softened some wrinkles and scars like magic. $25 for 2 passport photo prints. $10 extra for digital copy that he will email. Barely more expensive than Walgreens, but you will have a much more flattering photo for years to come. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back for family photos soon! Side note: Tien also will go to events for photography if you were looking for an event photographer in addition to a studio style photographer.

Although I didn't end up using clothes from her client closet, it was great to have the option and we appreciated all of Khushboo's expertise on color palettes and what would work best with the setting. We are so pleased with our photos and will treasure these moments forever!

She's very approachable and down to earth, easy to talk to, and provided helpful guidance for posing. She made me feel comfortable and beautiful, and her styling of the shoot was nothing short of breathtaking. She had a preliminary galley back to me within hours of my shoot, and I was taken aback by how stunning the pictures are. There are few times in my life when I've felt more beautiful and empowered, and that's saying a lot for someone 32 weeks pregnant. I cannot wait to receive the final gallery in a few weeks and am so excited to work with Shutter Magic Photography in the future!

Overview: Yesenia has been an amazing photographer. We have…read moreloved working alongside her as she is so warm and inviting and has a great eye for amazing pictures. We first booked her for Christmas photos and then again for maternity pictures and most recently for newborn pictures. Yesenia works with your ideas and with her photographer's eye makes your dream picture come to life. I will continue to book Yesenia for my photography shoots and she is the first person I recommend when someone is looking for a photographer. Safety: As a mother, I have taken extra precautions during this pandemic so I was skeptical at first to book a photographer- but Yesenia has always ensured we feel safe as she creates a safe environment. She has kept her mask on for every shoot we have had with her, she disinfects all the items before use. Even now that she is fully vaccinated she keeps her mask on and constantly cleans her hands. Christmas Shoot: I first booked her when she was offering a Christmas mini in 2019. My husband, son, and our dog Moo showed up to the session at a park in the city. Yesenia was invited and warm as she helped us pose alongside the props she had. Also noted was that she was wearing a mask and disinfected the items we used as props in front of us before the shoot. I loved the pictures she took of us for Christmas that for the first time in a long time, I sent out Christmas cards! Pregnancy Shoot: I did not think I would ever have another child so when I became pregnant in 2020 I was ecstatic & quickly knew I wanted to well document this journey. I reached out to Yesenia right away, she congratulated me and told me when the most ideal pregnancy period was to take maternity pictures. I booked a spot for I was about 34 weeks pregnant. Before the shoot, Yesenia called me to discuss the color scheme, pictures I wanted to recreate, family portrait options, and the details of what I needed to take to the shoot that day. After our call, she sent me a detailed list of what to expect during the shoot and how I could prepare. When we arrived at the studio she made us feel comfortable as we took family pictures and then more intimate pregnancy pictures. My pictures came out so good everyone was in awe at how beautifully Yesenia captured that moment. Newborn Shoot: So of course I reached out to her again when my son was born. And as always she was great. She had everything in the studio prepared for our pictures. Yesenia even takes extra steps to ensure the newborn is comfortable the entire shoot. During the shoot, Yesenia was extremely calm and patient as she helped us pose and dress our son. Our son was asleep just about the entire session because he was so comfortable. I just received the raw images of this shoot and as always I am not disappointed. I cannot wait to see the final versions of these pictures =)

From the very beginning, they were incredibly knowledgeable, talented, professional, and genuinely easy to work with. Planning a DIY wedding comes with plenty of stress, but Toan was hands down our easiest and favorite vendor throughout the entire process. Neither of us is naturally comfortable in front of a camera, but Toan has an incredible eye and knows exactly how to direct and pose you. He gave us simple, clear guidance that made us feel relaxed and confident, and somehow made even the least photogenic person look like a natural model. The entire experience felt fun instead of awkward. His photography speaks for itself. The photos are absolutely stunning and capture every moment so beautifully. His work is so strong that the images barely need any editing--they're timeless, natural, and simply breathtaking. Every photo feels like a work of art, and we know we'll treasure them for the rest of our lives. We also really appreciated how honest, flexible, and accommodating Toan was throughout the process. He frequently offered packages and special deals, which we were incredibly grateful for. Booking, scheduling, billing, and communication were always seamless, and we never ran into a single issue. On our wedding day, Toan and his team made us feel completely at ease during one of the biggest and most emotional days of our lives. They were calm, organized, and knew exactly how to keep everything running smoothly while capturing every special moment. His craftsmanship is worth every penny. After working with him, we completely understand why he's so highly rated throughout the Bay Area. If you're considering Toan Photography, don't hesitate--you'll be investing in an amazing experience and memories you'll cherish forever.

I really appreciate his easy going personality and he made us feel comfortable during photos and gave us really good poses/pointers. I loved that he would show us little snippets during the shoot to show us how the photos were turning out as well. He was so kind, friendly, professional and all the great things you want in a photographer capturing your special moments. I believe he finalized edits and sends within 3-4 weeks and I can't wait to see. Bonus was that he sent over more than 10 sneak-peaks within 24 hours!!! This was so awesome and we were able to use right away to announce our marriage. All in all, so impressed with Justin.

After reviewing our concerns, they acknowledged that the photos were poor quality and initially refunded us $700. Our contract also included a USB containing all of our wedding photos, which we never received. When I contacted Nancy about it, she advised me that it would be better to leave the photos in the online gallery. I trusted her recommendation. However, only a few weeks later, all of our wedding photos were deleted. Nancy later told me that her daughter had accidentally deleted them and agreed to issue a full refund. She then changed her mind and claimed that I had chosen not to receive the USB--even though she was the one who advised me to keep the photos online. We received only 175 photos, many of which were poor quality, repeated two or three times, overly zoomed in, or showed people partially cut out. When I tried printing the photos, it said they were low quality and they would print blurry. We gave them several opportunities to resolve this matter fairly and honor their agreement. Instead, they stopped responding to our emails. Wedding photos are irreplaceable, and based on our experience, I cannot recommend this business.
