She also managed to edit all the pictures they selected for their package. I was particularly impressed with the suggestions she offered my daughter prior to the photoshoot, which undoubtedly contributed to keeping my granddaughter at ease. I admired the wide array of clothing options, accessories, backgrounds, and props she provided. She truly possessed a remarkable talent with infants, skillfully changing their attire and repositioning them even while the baby was asleep. I am grateful that she permitted us to capture videos and photos during the session. I will share the pictures once my daughter has had the opportunity to distribute them to our family and friends. I wouldn't want to spoil her surprise.

Call ahead and make sure you know your photo size requirements and quantity needed. One point of emphasis for the owner: Read the room. You're a nice guy, but if someone's not interested in your incredibly nosy questions, just chill out on the interrogation and maybe find another area of small talk. Again, owner is a nice guy, but that was a bit annoying. Felt like I was at a gossipy barber shop (which I guess, technically, I was). Lol

Truth be told....I write this with a bit of a tear in my eye....not to get too melodramatic over a…read moreyelp review....but pictures...when done perfect and if your in a particular sentimental mood....can have that effect. 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've worked with a fair amount of photographers from well established fashion photographers who are…read morefeatured in national magazines - to the aspiring photographers taking classes at community colleges. Out of all of them, I'd have to say - **Rey Trajano is my absolute favorite!** He's fun to work with, has great ideas and is incredibly talented. He turns any ordinary setting into a beautiful captivating scene. He knows how to work the camera and lighting - what's even better? He doesn't over edit! I've seen other photographers photoshop the average sized women into stick skinny characters. Rey makes sure it still looks like you - just better ;) his work is amazing - highly recommended! (I've modeled for Rey dozens on times over the past 2 years)

Rey Trajano is great! I've shot with him many times and he's always been very professional with…read morethis models and his work. He truly gives the respect that this art requires. I feel very comfortable around him, not only because he's a fun and easy going guy, but he asks for opinions and input during the shoot. He believes that the shoot is not only for the photographer, but also for the model. He's overall just a great guy to hang with. We've had to drive out pretty far to get to a site before, and he's just so fun to be around--never a silent moment in the car, you'd always hear me laffing on our way to our destination! Rey does mostly glamour with some lifestyle. But he's flexible to do any type of shoot. He's also available to photograph parties, weddings, special events and I believe clubs, if the price is right. I'm thinking about hiring him for my bday bash, so I'll keep you guys updated!

As we naturally have emotions and feelings, we tend to want to capture the special moments in our…read morelives. Josh did a remarkable job shooting my engagement and wedding pictures. I'm not a natural model so I didn't know how to pose. I was new and my body was not used to being in front of the camera naturally. But every step of the way, Josh was there being patient and guiding me. For the engagement pictures, due to Josh's expertise and experience, he knew where to go for the best pictures. But if you already have a list of places you want to go, he is open and willing to go to them. To give you an idea of the places he has in his pocket, he took me to Santa Monica Beach and the Venice Beach Canals (who doesn't get their pictures here, right?). But the kicker was this beautiful nature park that literally looked like a rain forest! As for the big wedding day, Josh was the first person there capturing moments from beginning to end. He also had a partner with him to ensure everything was caught. He knew what to do and what type of pictures to take. There were several moments when he told me to do something and thought to myself, "Oh yeah! That's right. I see those wedding pictures all the time!" I just felt bad for him and his partner because they couldn't sit down and eat. They must have been hungry from running around all day! Now as I reflect back and write this, it's been an unforgettable year full of joy and blessings. I appreciate the big moments in my life, but I realize the little moments are just as valuable, something we neglect when we are younger. I have already begun a new chapter in my life, and I can't find a better way to end my last review of 2013, but to write this for him.
