Let me tell you till this day 5 years later I love our pictures! The beach she chose for us was beautiful, small and accessible. The time she gave us set up for the most beautiful colors and evening. I lost my mom that year as well and some of the images she took with the keepsakes I had of my mom are still so special to me. I look at my pictures often in my living room and they always bring a warmth swarm of beautiful memories. I would definitely recommend Althea for any of your photo shoots and also advise to PRINT THE PICTURES!

For our daughter's first birthday, we requested a traditional Chinese "grabbing ceremony" (Zhua Zhou), which was not something Kathleen was very familiar with.

She was patient with our daughter throughout the session, and the photos turned out wonderful.

I absolutely love working with her--she's down to earth, incredibly easy to work with, and genuinely takes the time to listen and understand your vision. From the start, she made me feel comfortable and confident, which made the entire process feel natural and enjoyable. She did everything she could to bring my ideas to life and went above and beyond to make sure the final images reflected exactly what I was looking for--and then some. The results exceeded my expectations and I had way more photos than I anticipated to put on my website. I especially love the way she uses natural light to create such warm, authentic images. On top of that, she's accommodating, professional, and just a joy to be around. I can't recommend her enough and look forward to working with her again in the future! :)

Cathy has been capturing our family's most precious moments since 2021, and I couldn't be more…read moregrateful for her dedication and professionalism. From maternity sessions to newborn shoots and first birthdays for both of my children, she has beautifully documented every milestone. Each photo she delivers is stunning, and they only become more meaningful as my children grow. Looking back at them always brings me so much joy. Truly, once you experience Cathy's work, it's hard to imagine working with anyone else What sets Cathy apart is her incredible attention to detail and organization. She takes the time--before, during, and after each session--to ensure everything turns out perfectly. She's easy to communicate with, genuinely listens to what you want, and goes above and beyond to make it happen. Her studio is also spotless and welcoming, making the entire experience comfortable for everyone. Highly, highly recommend!

We had a hard time selecting outfits so she even looked for some outfits for us on Amazon. She took a family portrait of us with 7 adults, 1 baby, and 1 dog - amazing! Also we requested Chinese Zhua Zhou (brought our own props) in the photos to honor my culture, she accommodated that. Lastly, she's very honest about what's recommended and what's not based on the baby's attention span. I really appreciated that as a first time parent. In conclusion, highly recommend!!

Once we decided to host our wedding at Lido House, Sarah was the only option we considered to be…read moreour photographer. My instincts told me that a photographer with prior experience at our venue would show up in the pictures themselves. Lo and behold, they did! Sarah was an impeccable director throughout our Welcome Party & Wedding + Reception. She has the golden finger with her camera and was able to capture us (we're camera shy), our family and our friends perfectly. Everyone was so impressed with her rapid turnaround on our Sneak Peeks. The joy of reliving our Wedding and being able to share these moments with vendors and guests is priceless. She was worth every penny and is even featured on the front page of Lido's Events Pamphlet. We cannot thank her enough for providing us with the best keepsake from our special weekend. We'll be reliving these moments for decades to come!

Choosing Sarah as out wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made while planning our…read morewedding. She photographed our engagement shoot, our legal ceremony in Beverly Hills, and our big celebration in Culver City, and every experience with her was fantastic. She was incredibly easy to work with, communicated clearly, and really listened to what we wanted. She helped us feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera, and the photos reflect that. They are beautiful, joyful, and full of genuine candid moments between us, which is exactly what we hoped for. Sarah is an incredibly skilled photographer, and the composition of her shots was breathtaking! She also brought such a calm, grounding presence to each event, which made the whole process feel easy and fun. We absolutely love our photos and recommend her 10/10!!!

Found Pose Palace on TikTok and decided to check it out for a family photoshoot with our…read morenewborn--and I'm so glad we did! We stopped by on a weekday in the late afternoon and practically had the place to ourselves. Another family arrived shortly after, but it was still very relaxed and easygoing. The process was super simple. You can make a reservation, but we just walked in without any issues. We did the white background setup for 15 minutes, which was perfect and definitely a must if you're taking photos with little kids. There were a few technical difficulties during our session, but the staff member was incredibly accommodating. He paused the timer and gave us those minutes back so we didn't lose any of our shoot time. The pricing is great too! The package includes 2 people and 3 printed 4x6 photos of your favorite shots. Additional people are only $5 each, but they didn't charge us for our toddler or newborn, which was such a nice surprise. One of the best parts is that you get access to download every single digital photo from your session, not just a select few. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and ended up with so many great family photos. definitely considering coming back for another shoot

Recently my US passport needed to be renewed so this photo studio was one of the few places that…read morestill open on Sundays after 4 PM. 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.
