    My favorite picture  Aaron Álvarez Photography
    Lizette M.

    Aaron, thank you and to your team so much! You guys are amazing, super professional. I was able to obtain photos and video for my daughter's sweet sixteen under seven weeks. I'm extremely satisfied for doing business with you and with your amazing work!

    My husband and I would like to just say THANK YOU AARON for being an awesome photographer and for capturing wonderful moments at our wedding .we were researching an all in one photographer and videographer in the OC area but it was tough finding one that suited our budget and picture style. I asked a friend and she referred me to Aaron Alvarez who had previously worked with her for her wedding. I researched his work and decided to book an appointment to see more of his work and how he goes about preparing his photography. I chose him because of the style of his photography, his professionalism, and how he is truly a master at his craft. He took beautiful engagement pictures at a location of our choosing and above all, he captured the most awesome and beautiful pictures of our wedding. Once it was close to the wedding date, Aaron was able to work with our wedding day-of timeline and incorporated his day-of timeline with ours. If I had any questions he was able to immediately answer the phone and provide me with answers. He truly does have great experience and I am so glad that we chose him for our photography/videography. I can't wait to see our video

    Aaron and his team were incredible! We had hired them to take photos and video for our wedding on short notice. We absolutely loved the photos from our wedding. Since we had a Star Wars themed wedding, we had used lightsabers in our photos. Aaron took the time to edit the photos in our wedding album so that the lightsabers had that special glow. We also really loved our wedding videos of the ceremony and reception. It was beautifully captured and we will be able to cherish our special day for years to come. Aside from the great work Aaron does, he is also easy to work with, friendly, and fun. If ever we need a photographer again, we will go definitely go to Aaron.

    We wanted someone local to shoot our wedding. We had been in contact with large photography and videography companies that contract with other individuals in the local area but we didn't want to contract with someone that had not met or discussed what we wanted for our wedding. Aaron and his team were great to work with since the beginning. Aaron showed us his work, we loved it and we appreciated the time he spent with us. We did our engagement and wedding day pictures with Aaron and his team. Working with the team was great and we loved our pictures. The quality was great for both pictures and video. Thank you Aaron and team for capturing our special moments!

    My experience at Aaron Alvarez Photography was UNBEATABLE! Upon beginning my Real Estate career, I knew it was finally time to get some professional headshots. As I scoured the internet and different websites for the right place, everywhere was either way too expensive, or simply sub-par quality. When I found Aaron, I knew I found the right photo studio. Not only is the pricing super fair, but the picture quality and customer service are amazing. Paying for and booking my appointment was super quick and simple. I even booked less than 48 hours in advance. Once I got to my appointment, Aaron immediately made me super comfortable and was very easy to talk to. He is a very kind and professional photographer who evidently knows what he is doing, and caters to your wants and needs. I sometimes struggle to smile/pose naturally for pictures, and he very comfortably and easily corrected me and helped me get AMAZING headshots. I'm so confident and happy with the pictures that will appear on my marketing and media materials thanks to Aaron.

    Headshot

    I had such a great experience with Aaron. I was doing my very first photoshoot for a pageant so I was nervous but Aaron put me at ease. He was patient with me and also told me about anything that needed to be adjusted or fixed so that I could take a great photo. The session was really affordable and you get a lot out of it for the value. He is also very fast with editing and retouching so I didn't have to worry about waiting for weeks or months to get the photos back! When the photos came back and there were some things I wanted to be fixed and he absolutely delivered. I highly recommend !!

    Very happy with my photos by Aaron Alvarez Photography!

    Aaron Alvarez is an excellent photographer and I highly recommend him. From setting up an appointment to the delivery of the photos, everything was fluid and outstanding. Setting up an appointment was simple. I chose the photo package, date and time, and received a confirmation with all the details. I also received reminders as well as details on where the studio was, and where to park. Aaron's studio is in a historic building among other artists. It is open and well-lit, and is tastefully furnished. Aaron was very welcoming and he showed me the ordering process. Everything was straight to the point, with no hidden fees. In the studio, Aaron explained the process and showed me the various backdrops and lights. I noticed that he uses new and high-tech equipment which simplifies the process, while still maintaining good outcome. Aaron would stop to show me the shots and already I could tell they were going to be good. He's very accommodating and allowed me to change my outfits a couple of times. He also suggested a few poses that elongated my neck and hid some unwanted features -- which I was grateful for. The online gallery was ready within a day and I was very impressed with the photos. There were almost 80 photos, which I could download without watermark for social media. I also chose 3 to retouch (comes with the photo package that I selected) and I ordered a couple other extra photos. They were ready within a couple days. All downloaded with ease online. Overall I'm very satisfied with Aaron and I don't hesitate to recommend him to all my friends. I'm looking forward to my next photoshoot!

    It was my babies first photoshoot and Aaron did an amazing job! He was very patient and very professional. He captured some great pictures of my son. Thank you Aaron for the all the great photos! I loved them! Can't wait to work with you again.

    After seeing my older sister's headshot photos with Aaron, I made an appointment with him and I am so glad that I did. Once I arrived to the studio, it was an amazing experience. Aaron is friendly and very professional, he was very helpful and encouraging. He showed me pictures as we were shooting and I loved how the photos looked.   Once the photo-shoot was done, he explained the process and within a few days I had my pictures delivered to my inbox. I had so many great photos to choose from! I will definitely use Aaron Alvarez Photography in the future and I highly recommend him to everyone!

    Vicky Z.

    Aaron is an expert and true professional in his line of work. My colleagues and I have used his services several times and we just LOVE him and his work. Not only does he do a phenomenal job with the photography but he always delivers faster then expected. As a makeup artist & body painter it's important that my models are 100% comfortable with the photographer and Aaron does a wonderful job. Thank you Aaron for your professionalism and kind heart. I look forward to our next shoot!

The photo studio is located inside AR Galleria (the main galleria entrance was locked on Sunday afternoon so I had to enter through the side door via Cafe Lowell). [Parking]: Easy and free parking in the large plaza. [Reservation]: I was able to call and book a same-day reservation on Sunday. Visitors can also make an online reservation via the studio's website. Upon arrival, I scanned a QR code and signed a waiver before the owner started my 5-minute photo session. [Price]: $27 for 4 physical copies and digital copies to download via email (must be downloaded within 7 days). I did not initially receive an email, but I emailed the owner the next day about the download link and he sent a follow-up email with the link within a few hours (the email was hidden in my spam folder). The email included all the pictures taken during the session. The shop also makes photo keychains ($4+ each). The studio also offers 15-minute and 30-minute self-portrait sessions. [Studio]: While I was here for a passport photo, the studio mainly operates as a self-portrait studio where customers take photos of themselves. This small studio has all the props and camera setup needed to make it happen. [Process]: The owner had me sit on a chair and took 7 pictures. Out of the 7 pictures taken, I was able to choose one for him to print while the rest of pictures can be downloaded via a link in an email. It was more important to receive a digital copy because the US passport renewal process requires applicants to upload a digital photo rather than submit a physical copy. I was able to use one of the digital copies and now that same picture will be on my passport for the next 10 years before the next renewal timeline. [Conclusion]: Overall it was an efficient process and I was able to walk in and out within 15 minutes. However, it would be helpful for the studio to provide additional entry instructions on the website when the main galleria entrance is locked.

Some backstory...Imagix/Michelle has done our yearly photos for our son from ages 1 to now 5. (See my past reviews). From somehow capturing a perfect moment from our perpetually moving blur of a son (ages 1-3) to patiently instructing four 70/80 year olds on how to hold their aforementioned 4 year old Tasmanian Devil grandson last year, Michelle is a magician/artist...I always leave the photoshoot stressed from the chaos Hurricane Daniel (our son) leaves in his wake....But every year we come back to look at the proofs and are amazed at Michelle ability to capture "lighting in a bottle" . This year was no different. Fortunately we survived the terrible 2's (...3's....4's....) and thanks to time, maturity, and the opposite of gentle parenting, our little Daniel, though far from perfect, is manageable. But we didn't want to make it too easy for Michelle, so we threw in another variable. After a recent canine cancer scare, and recently learning from Google that all dogs, however loyal and cute, unfortunately have an inescapable life, span, I somehow convinced my beautiful but camera shy wife that this is the year we do a family photo with our dog. Some more backstory, if you read this far, our Yorkie, Libby, loves us but HATES the rest of the world. She spent the entire hour photoshoot in perpetual scowl and Volume 11 non stop bark. One week later as she always does, lighting in a bottle perfection. I looked at the proofs with amazement. Our son, we expected....she's done it every year, but how she made a loud perpetual yapping bark into a impossibly cute smile is above my skill set. But I think her greatest feat is how she lessened the "he must be rich" looks gap between my wife and I. My wife is easy, even me with my amateur Android skills, it's hard for her to take a bad picture. Michelle mastery came with how she elevated me to "he must be funny" looks gap level. So why the tear? We loved one of the pics so much we purchased a large framed canvas print to hang on our living room wall. My 85 year old happened to be in town for his grandsons 5th bday so I asked him for an helping hand hanging the picture. I figured he has these family portrait hanging at my childhood home. My brother and I with our full head of hair and my mom shoulder pads captured the 90's to a tee...but what I always remember is the "proud" look my dad had on his face. A look of accomplishment shouting "look at me world and all that I love and created". Watching my aging dad struggle, listing to my aging dog bark in a locked room to protect my dad's ankles, I was suddenly reminded that time, as much as you want to hit pause, always moves forward. It's a good idea to stop and smell the roses, or in this case, look at the snapshot/memories/moments and take it all in. After my dad handed me the leveler and I put away the hammer, and I looked up....and yeah....I had that "Dad" look

    I booked this photoshoot with Bloomin Studio on a bit of a whim for my birthday after going through…read morea really rough year... and I didn't expect it to impact me the way it did. From the moment I walked in, I felt taken care of in a way that's honestly rare. When they say all-inclusive, they mean it. I didn't have to stress about a single detail. They had the dress, the jewelry, the shoes, even the smallest accessories all ready for me, and everything fit perfectly. It felt like stepping into a space where I could just exist and be taken care of. Novia (the owner and photographer) is so incredibly patient and talented. She guided me through everything. From helping me choose an aesthetic during the consultation to gently directing me through poses in a way that made me feel confident instead of awkward (which is HUGE for me). Even though I booked just 2 days before, she never made me feel rushed or like an inconvenience. Ceci did my hair and makeup and made me feel so beautiful. The makeup was high quality and lasted all day, and it still felt like me in a softer, more elevated version. Amanda was also so sweet and attentive the entire time. The energy of the whole team is just so warm, kind, and genuine. But what really stayed with me was how they made me feel. They didn't just take photos. They created a space where I could reconnect with myself. I felt feminine, confident, and honestly a little emotional seeing myself that way again. It felt like a reset. Like I was being reminded of a version of myself I hadn't seen in a while. And then on top of all that, they gave me a birthday gift, which completely caught me off guard and meant so much to me. It turned an already special experience into something I'll never forget. The studio itself is beautiful, clean, and thoughtfully designed (there's even a snack corner which is such a cute touch). Booking was easy, parking was easy, everything about the experience felt smooth and intentional. If you're hesitating because you're not "photogenic," or you're waiting for the "right time", this is your sign to just do it. I would 1000% come back, and I'm already thinking about their membership. This wasn't just a photoshoot. It was healing in a way I didn't expect. Thank you Bloomin!

Add the awkwardness of being in front of a camera I'm not controlling in selfie mode. Enter the ladies of Bloomin studio! A TRULY ALL INCLUSIVE EXPERIENCE- makeup, hair, wardrobe, set design, modeling coach! I've never found anything like it! My experience was nothing short of wonderful and most importantly COMFORTABLE. I got a K-style headshot similar to k-pop idol photo cards and a professional headshot because I hadn't taken a proper headshot (at least ones I liked) in at least 3-4 years! I opted to have my hair and makeup done so I could just show up stress free. Ceci wasn't just on time, she was early for my glam. I filled out a mini color analysis and vibe quiz to narrow down the vision. I also wanted to try something very girly and soft which is honestly polar opposite of my usual. I just wanted to try something different for my "fun" headshot. Ceci took her time with hair and makeup, was very detailed, and when I TELL YOU THE FOUNDATION MATCH WAS IMPECCABLE! The base was flawless and every imperfection was concealed. I looked like a filter. She also picked out 3 tops for me to choose from, yes wardrobe styling was included too! I'm an Asian midsize girl, so..fat by Asian standards and I brought tops from home worried I wouldn't fit into anything they had. I was wrong. They absolutely had clothes that fit me as a US large. God bless them! That made me feel so much less insecure. Novia my photographer took care of the set, lighting, and posing which made things so much easier. No guessing what to do. She gave clear instructions on where to look, how to pose, the softness of the expression, I didn't have to overthink a damn thing. They touch up my hair and moved it around as needed. She was very patient with me because I was still a little stiff and tense at the start and really loosened up my expressions and posing towards the second half. I didn't know what to choose for my professional head shot so I let Novia decide. Man she knows what really makes you shine! I really thought I was a warm toned Autumn palette girly but when I saw myself in a cool toned photo, I was wowed! Grey and black, never would've picked that for myself. Even the pink themed girly shoot utilized a cool toned pink and the makeup used neutral-cool tones and I was surprised at how it came out! I definitely took some of those tips home with me and changed a couple of my makeup and outfit choices! No doubt I'll be back. I wanna do a birthday shoot and redo my wedding photos next! Their more elaborate themed shoots are next on my list! They have a membership that is so insanely well priced for what it includes, if you're a content creator needing photos from fantasy to editorial they got you! Some packages even include BTS footage for your vlog!! I can't recommend Bloomin Studio enough! Thank you ladies for making me feel beautiful.
