Our first shoot was a 1950s-inspired 4-year anniversary session during Almond Blossom season, followed by a solo shoot with the same vintage theme (also set among the blossoms). Most recently, we had our 1st wedding anniversary session in Downtown Modesto -- a bit more casual, but just as special! Sandy always makes us feel completely at ease in front of the camera -- which is saying a lot since my husband hates being photographed! She keeps every session light, fun, and natural, and she has such a great eye for capturing genuine, in-the-moment smiles. She's also amazing at recreating inspo photos you share ahead of time, so if you have a vision, she'll absolutely help bring it to life. The photos turned out AMAZING -- she captured our personalities and the joy of the day perfectly. I was literally laughing in most of the pictures, and I love that she caught those candid moments so beautifully. This was our third shoot with Sandy, and it definitely won't be our last. I'll happily drag my husband to a few more sessions with her!

He was responsive, organized, and made the entire process feel effortless. His attention to detail is truly incredible, and it shows in every image he delivers. As a wedding planner, getting to see the sneak peeks is one of my favorite parts because it allows me to relive the day all over again. Justin captured so many thoughtful moments that brought the entire wedding back to life, and it was such a joy to see. Justin is professional, kind, and genuinely invested in his couples. I would happily recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer who cares deeply about both the experience and the final product. I can't wait to work another wedding together!

I love Photos Just So! I've come to them three times now for photography, and each time I love them…read moremore than the last. They provide excellent service and gorgeous photos for incredibly reasonable prices. My husband and I first asked them to do a nice couples portrait for us on the UC Berkeley campus. We had never done any sort of portraits before (y'know, beyond those stiff, cheesy school photos back in the day), so we were a little nervous to start. Justin and his wife/assistant Dana immediately put us at ease with their friendly, professional manner. After a few shots my husband and I relaxed, and we got some wonderful photos to share as Xmas gifts (and yes, we even did some cheesy poses for fun). We came back to them a few years later for newborn photos for our first child. We arranged for them to visit us in the hospital, and I treasure those pictures above all others taken in that period. I had a difficult and unpleasant experience in the hospital (but that's for another Yelp review), but when I look at Justin's beautiful photos all I remember were the good moments, and how much Justin and Dana's calm, friendly visit cheered me up. They came to our home a few weeks later for part two of our newborn portrait package. Again, their bright manner made the afternoon special and fun. They did some lovely "candid" shots of us feeding our baby, then some more posed shots of the baby with some fun props they'd brought. As parents themselves, they know how to calmly and easily deal with a little newborn, and our little guy was as relaxed as a month-old could be. The pictures turned out AMAZING. Well, that baby is a year-and-a-half, and it's time for some family portraits. I know exactly who we're turning to!

I did not personally hire Marty, he was hired to photograph the dancers at the studio my daughter…read morewas enrolled in. At the time I was supposed to receive the photographs hers were nowhere to be found, ok, maybe it was an oversight. I contacted him and he took a while to get back to me, again, fair enough. When he did get back to me I was met with a very defensive attitude, no reassurance whatsoever. Again, I wanted my photos so I helped as much as I could, gave him a lot of information but I had to chase him for a response. His response left a lot to be desired, he was super rude, and I of course expressed how disappointed I was and started to give the same energy. I asked if he had a studio where he could photograph my daughter since the photos were paid for but ultimately settled for a group photo. He repeated over and over again how he did not receive the order form and how my daughter didn't turn it in, she's FOUR and he knows she had to be around that age. I turned it in to whoever the woman was receiving them. It is NOT my fault that Marty misplaced my order form and did not photograph my daughter when that same woman told him I wanted her photographed. If he did not have time to photograph her, was out of memory, or whatever the case was, he could have told me. It's not about the money, it's the principal. I will NEVER hire Marty myself, I do not like his attitude, service, or even his work, I only bought it to have the memory of my daughter's dance season. If I could give zero stars I would.

I wish I could understand what's going on with Scott but since he won't respond to my messages,…read moreI'll have to share my most recent experience with him. I found him late in 2024. You can read my review on that encounter in my last review for him. I closed out that review by stating that I was so impressed, that I left a 24-105mm f/4.0L for him to look at. At this point, I don't even remember what was wrong with it. He worked on the lens and got it back into working condition and called me. It's 71 miles from my house to his shop. I made the drive down and in the course of conversation, Scott said that he would be more than happy to sell it for me and could get up to $400 for the lens. That particular lens was the first lens that I bought for my Canon 5D. It was my only lens for at least five years. Needless to say, I did everything with it. When I returned to my local fire department as a volunteer photographer, I added a few more lenses to my arsenal included the Mark II version of the same lens. Since I didn't need the one Scott had just repaired, I asked him to sell it for me. I didn't hear from Scott for quite a while, but the lens wasn't my priority. I do a lot of volunteer work, and I had enough equipment to keep working. I called him in April of 2025 to check status, and it hadn't sold yet. We spoke briefly about lowering the price. I told him I would take $300. I didn't hear from Scott again until August when he said he had a buyer for $275. I told him that $300 was the price that we had agreed on and he said that he would "make up the difference". I didn't fall off from the turnip truck just yesterday. I know that the difference of whatever he sold it for and what I got would be his profit. But I also know that when you are selling something on consignment, you have no right to arbitrarily lower the price without the owner's permission. His "making up the difference" meant that he made less profit. He asked when I would be driving down to pick up the check. I asked Scott to simply mail it to me. Every time, I've visited him at his place of business, I've had to call to let him know when I was close and sometimes, he wouldn't be there. I know as a single person business operation, clients need your time, meetings run long, photoshoots take longer than expected. I figured getting a check by mail would be easier for both of us. In October of 2025, I called for and left a message for an update. January 30th of this year, I called and Scott told me that I should have received the check by now and that he would have to check with his bookkeeper to find out what happened to the check. Yesterday, 3/23, left a message letting him know how disappointed I was with his lack of communication. And so here I am, dropping my five-star rating for him to one-star. Next will be the Better Business Bureau. I may never see my $300 again but I don't want to see other hard-working photographers get taken for a ride.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience with Nielsen Photographic was extremely…read moredisappointing. On November 15th, 2024, I brought in a Leica CL film camera that I purchased from eBay that had a broken light meter, but wanted to check if that was all it had. Scott initially seemed helpful, claiming he was certified in Leica/Minolta repairs and found that the speeds were off. He estimated a 3-5 week turnaround for the fix. That timeline quickly fell apart. By late December, I still hadn't heard anything and had to follow up multiple times--calls and texts were ignored. I only got a response after calling from an unknown number. Scott cited a family emergency and poor communication habits, then accused me of being "impatient," even though I was just asking for updates well past the promised timeline. Told me I could pick it up. I asked him to keep it as I was not impatient and just wanted the camera to be repaired. I gave him another month as he requested, but by May and June, I still had no update. My partner finally got him on the phone, and Scott admitted he couldn't get the part or repair it because he didn't have the manual. This was frustrating since I had kept the purchased camera based on his assurance that he could fix it instead of returning it to the eBay seller. Which was no longer an option. He offered to find shops who could help, but never followed through. I picked up my camera on August 1--unrepaired--and he never once provided any leads or updates. When I mentioned writing a review about my experience and how I was appalled by his lack of empathy or accountability, he finally said "sorry," but only about the "situation." Unless you already have a relationship with Scott, I wouldn't recommend using his services. The lack of communication, accountability, and professionalism was unacceptable.
