We just went to the Westlake Village location. Giselle was our photographer and was amazing to work with! She made the senior portrait session fun, relaxed, and stress-free. She has a great eye for detail and captured beautiful, natural photos that exceeded our expectations. The entire experience was wonderful, and the final portraits are absolutely stunning. Thank you Giselle read more

Shame on the Simi Unified School district for picking a company that puts almost 0 effort into the effort of quality. This is the only company our school forces us to use, and they are a completely rip off. They couldn't even have my child fix their hair, and they want to charge me 185 dollars for crap pictures. Shame on the school districts and shame on this company. Company's like this wouldn't survive if it wasn't for some lame government contract holding them up. read more

I've bought the big package of photos for my 3 kids the past 4 years this year they skimped on class photos, names/years and magnets. Discounts only offered to school staff...etc. here's your rating. read more

Rip off... price gouging School photos for our 8th grader, 8x10, two 5x7, bunch of wallets: $47.90 Almost $300 for the same package for our HS senior. On top of that the quality of the poses was much to be desired... bow tie was loose and hanging in some poses. PRICE GOUGING 101. We are all held hostage by this company... should be contacting BBB regarding this predatory practice. Would be zero stars if possible. read more

Wow just wow. I know it's just school photos but for a photographer to not pay attention to detail and the purchased photos have your child's face covered with stray hairs. read more

Cornerstone Photography - Event Photography Near Me - Moorpark, California

I placed the order for my son's graduation and football pictures in November 2024. Fully paid We received the football but not the graduation pictures. I was planning to hand deliver it to my cousin to take it back home but unfortunately I can't since we don't have the pictures Called and spoke with the manager .She offered a refund without having my son's graduation pictures . Horrible customer service read more

This was the photographer for my kids school photos. I was upset to find they left a sticker on my childs shirt front and center. I called and asked to see if they check to see if a child doesnt have items on them for a nice photo and she confirmed that they dont check things like that. I would think this is obvious and it stops me from purchasing photos so for them to make money again I would think they would put a little bit of effort into it read more

How has Cornerstone remained contracted by MUSD for school photos? I finally just ordered a small package and digital download of my daughter's kindergarten photo. She's mid blink in the picture. You could've reshot that. That's just lazy. I haven't spoken to another parent that's impressed with their photography. School photos aren't meant to be of the highest quality but come on. As "professional" photographers you ought to be able to produce one decent image of each child. Thankfully with the digital download, I can fix their armature hour quality. read more

The most unprofessional, untrained , unkind, rude, insensitive bunch of idiots... obviously an easy job to acquire without any knowledge. School pictures were unclear, shots of children blinking, sneezing, or looking away. Adult staff photos taken without adjustment to camera for adult height is pure laziness! Seasonal photo promotions are inappropriate and somewhat suggestive for young children poses. So many other PROFESSIONAL companies to choose from. Reported to Better Business Bureau as other school sites have had similar complaints as of late, and I understand that most positive reviews for this place are from friends and family...FAKE! read more

I would have given 5 stars if they could have removed the car in the background from my sons portrait, professional photos should at least be on point. As a suggestion as well although I didn't need to purchase this for my children; with this day and age and easily accessible advance digital technology. It's about time to offer customers the option of complimentary retouching. read more

I experienced great customer service with this company. They addressed my email promptly and were very professional. Plus their photos are of great quality ! read more

Just received my daughter's school picture. I was not impressed. Having just taken my own school pictures I know that our photographers spent time trying to get a great shot for parents. They took multiple shots until they got a good one. This company seems to have taken one shot and done. Did they bother trying to get a good shot or were they just rushing to get through? Reading other reviews it seems that they do not do a great job. So disappointed with her school picture. read more

Only pleasant things to say about our experience. The studio is beautiful and the people who work here are super friendly. My son was getting his senior photos done and Summer, the girl who helped us was just the sweetest thing. She made my son feel comfortable, making the moment that much more special for us... (Me). I can't wait to see the finished product! Thank you Cornerstone! read more

Took my boy for his senior pictures here. Highly recommend. They're super friendly and professional. Despite my delay in scheduling for senior photos, they were able to accommodate us John, my son's photographer made him feel super relaxed and got some cool shots. The locale itself is easy to get to (straightforward directions). Clean and lots of backgrounds. Can't wait to pick up some pictures read more

Zero stars is more accurate based on customer service. They are the photographer for my child's school and despite ordering photos and paying a month ago and seeing other children's photos delivered immediately, I still don't have them. I got an email that said they shipped, though they did not. I called and was told they were "on their way", though they were not. On my second call they admitted they were never sent and they "reordered" them. On my third call they admitted they still had not been sent and it was because their lab in Tennessee was to blame, but they promised to call and give me an update. They didn't. On my third call they said "they supposedly shipped yesterday" however they have no proof and no tracking. They have no idea what they are doing and clearly do not care to fix it. read more

Sad to say but this place will charge for any little change on your pictures, anything to up the sale. Schools need to invest in photographers who will do as they did back in the days. Take a couple of pics that meant to go into a year book and make it look good. But these guys are hungry for Money! If I could give them a ZERO STAR I WOULD. read more

I thought their customer service was great all the way around, I had to cancel a few times before actually making it to the appointment due to not feeling well they were always very polite and were helpful also when I got there for the actual appointment I had a lady named Jenn Feltis Who assisted me with the photos she was absolutely great she made me feel so comfortable and relaxed and I enjoyed the session even afterwards I had a bunch of questions and emailed them a few times and they were helpful and kind I personally received great customer service and I definitely think that you should give them a try read more

My two daughters had their senior pictures taken here. One of them had hers done pre-covid times and the portrait package was awesome. The second daughter had her portraits done durung high covid time. But even her portraits turned well. read more

Peter and the Cornerstone Team are amazing! Great customer service, supper efficient, and incredibly talented. They did such an amazing job that we hired them to do our company photos. Highly recommend! read more

Guys, my kid normally HATES her school photo, but for the first time in ten years she LOVES it. And we do, too! The quality is fantastic, the image is bright and beautiful. She actually let me put it on my wall! FIVE HAPPY STARS! read more

Zero stars if possible. BUYER BEWARE-- they put their logo on your photos whether you like it or not! Our son's school uses this company for school photos. Unfortunately, in order to see the photos of your child, you must first purchase their pictures. If you wait to see the photo they take of your kid first before making the decision to purchase, you are charged a late fee. We purchased their most expensive package-- paying $60 plus tax for one image of our child printed in several sizes, and to gain access to the class photo (which is really the photo that was most important to us). Who are we kidding, school photos always turn out awful. We received our printed photos that included the class picture. Cornerstone Photography places their logo on the class photo. When I called to see if this was a mistake--- that maybe they watermarked it accidentally, I spoke to a Sandy in the school portrait department. Ultimately, I receive a phone call back from her saying she spoke to the owner of the company. Her excuse for them stamping their logo on the photo I PURCHASED from them was that they've "always done that" and that it's "never bothered anyone before". She told me that they will continue to place their logo on purchased images in the future and then reneged on her offer from our first phone conversation to remove the logo and reprint the class photo for me. She then told me that she had contacted the school. Not sure why I would care? Maybe the school will realize how ridiculous this is and will decide to go with a different company. Fingers crossed. My husband is a professional photographer and he's never heard such a thing. When a client purchases your work, you don't place your logo on it. Poor customer service. They could remove this logo in a matter of seconds and they should. Absolutely ridiculous. Who in their right mind would want to stare at the Cornerstone Photography company logo every time they look at the picture they paid to own a copy of. Logos and watermarks are for examples and previews--to prevent image theft, not for purchased images. Their brochure that shows samples of what you will receive does not show a logo stamped on the class photo. Come on guys, this is just plain common sense. You aren't gaining more clientele this way. All you're doing is steering possible repeat business away. And quite frankly, your too bad, don't care attitude makes me want to offer my husband's services FOR FREE to the entire school--- with FREE PRINTING RIGHTS to ALL FAMILIES of the children that attend just to make a point. read more

Cornerstone just did my child's school photo. I purchased the digital download and noticed after the watermark was removed that a hair was on her face. I called asking if I could pay to have it removed and get a new download. Kassandra was AMAZING. Not only did she have her editor fix that one hair but they did all the wispy ones around her head then sent me the download for no additional cost. For a mom who has dealt with all the challenges of this year, it was beyond kind to have someone help me just cause. Thank you Kassandra and Cornerstone team. You are all wonderful! Totally recommend! read more

Excellent service and more beautiful pictures, great job!! They do take the time to take the pics, very patience and the quality is great

I can't say enough about Cornerstone Photography and PETER! My daughter Nicole turned 16 today and my surprise gift for her was a photo shoot. It was absolutely unforgettable. I have never met a more talented photographer in my life. In Nicole's words, Peter made her feel the most beautiful person in the world. She was so happy and relaxed, and enjoyed it so much. We will never forget today. Thank you Peter and Cornerstone Photography for giving us this gift and memories that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. read more

Cornerstone deserves five stars all the way. Recently brought my babies there for their newborn photos. They're twins and they're not easy for me to handle, let alone a photography staff. We arrived and the staff had a waiting room ready for us, plus private changing rooms in case they wanted us to change outfits for one of the shots. Peter, the photographer, and his stylists/baby handlers did a marvelous job posing the kids to get the cutest shots from just the right angles. They also have a ton of patience as the kids became fussy on more than 1 occasion during the shoot. We could tell the staff also does their homework on their photo subjects. They had a darling new wood basket (we joked about the price tag still on it) and a plush blanket to fill it and place the babies on for the quintessential 'naked baby in a basket' shot. At the start, se weren't sure how many different settings they would put the babies in for different looks to the photos, but in all they set up 4 or 5 unique looks, including an awesome family portrait. Not sure if that's standard but the photos turned out spectacularly. Since we had the shoot done just before the holidays, we also had the Cornerstone staff design and put together our Christmas card. Holiday cards are never a competition but ours rocked thanks to Cornerstone. We received countless compliments on it. We skimmed through some of their portfolio books in the lobby and looks like they do a lot of high school senior photos (hence all the photos on their Yelp page). We were also impressed with their wedding, engagement and other types of pro photos, too. Can't go wrong with Cornerstone. Professional all the way. read more

Cornerstone is AMAZING! My older daughter was required by her high school in Thousand Oaks to take her Senior yearbook photo at a photo studio in Ventura with hopes once we had her dressed up for this picture we'd also have her sit for her senior photos. We were not only disappointed in the quality of the pictures (not one of them captured my daughters smile or spirit) their pricing was outrageous. We decided to have Cornerstone Photography do a Senior photo shoot for her and there were so many GREAT shots we had a problem choosing the ones we liked the best!!! This was 5 years ago and we've been fortunate to have Cornerstone Photography the photographer of choice at our elementary school for my 2 younger children. Now we have our family holiday pictures taken by Cornerstone every year! Our family pictures have been taken in the studio in Moorpark as well as at the beach and at a friends ranch. They've all turned out incredible! Peter and his staff make it such a wonderful experience to have our pictures taken each year! It's hard with a family of 6 to have all of us look wonderful for 1 shot, it's next to impossible to have not only 1 shot but many shots to choose from! Thank you Cornerstone for pulling off the impossible over and over again!! If I could rate higher than 5 stars I would! Very happy repeat customer! read more

Our engagement photos turned out better than we could have ever imagined! We can't wait for Peter and his stellar team to take our wedding photos next year! Peter made the photoshoot fun, and unlike some photographers he doesn't waste any time trying to think of what to do next and leave us waiting. We have a huge variety of photos from just one shoot. The printing quality is also worth it. read more

Mike was the best photographer for your senior portrait! He had positive vibes that helped make both daughter and mother happy! Mike, You rock! Thank you for making our session awesome! read more

I don't like how they send kids home from school with a bunch of photos that just get thrown away if you don't decide to order them. It's a waste of paper and ink, and it's a bummer they are basically trying to guilt parents in to buying photos. I much prefer school photography companies that send a child home with one photo and the parents can decide if the want to order more without them wasting paper. We should be teaching our kids to not be wasteful. read more

Our daughter just had the unplugged session for her senior photos ! We were so lucky to have Peter as our photographer. Our daughter is very shy, but Peter and his staff were able to put her at ease and she ended up having the time of her life. Having four children, I have tried many photographers. Peter is the most professional and energetic artist we have ever worked with. He and his staff carried a huge sofa into the open space just so we could have a photo on it. Peter's staff is so welcoming and understanding that I won't be going anywhere else for our photos. We love you Cornerstone, thank you for making our experience magical. Warmly The Rothschild Family read more

Took my son for his senior pic and from check in to leaving they were all so nice and welcoming. Jo the photographer was great! She made taking pics so comfortable that my son was even impressed how comfortable he was. Thank you for making this bitter sweet moment great! read more

My son is a senior at Moorpark High School and had to have his senior portrait taken during COVID restrictions. The staff at Cornerstone were amazing! We arrived a few minutes early and they had everything clean and waiting for my son to review and sign. They only allowed one family into the waiting area at a time. All items were cleaned and staff was very helpful and friendly. When it was time to take photos, the photographer was amazing! Since she could not touch my son to help in posing, she gave excellent directions and helped him look at ease and natural in his pictures. I would highly recommend Peter and all of his staff at Cornerstone for any photos. I look forward to working with them again for a family photo session. read more

Went in today for my daughters senior pictures and was so pleased by the customer service. Greeted by a smiling face named Carol. Our photographer Jo was amazing! She was so patient and made my daughter feel comfortable and her shots were awesome! I look forward to doing business with them for my next 2 kids for their graduation pictures. read more

Senior portraits this week, was a great experience in spite of these crazy times.

Cornerstone Photography is the best photography company I have ever experienced. They are talented, kind and professional. We had a family and individual pictures taken and Peter and his team couldn't have been better. He/they made us feel great all the way through our time together. They were so positive! They have great backgrounds and wonderful ideas, but always wanted us to be comfortable. I didn't have any trouble with their web site and loved looking at all of our pictures. Our sales person was fantastic! She listened to us and made suggestions, but never pushy. She even let us take our time to order. If you're looking for a family portrait or individual pictures I'd definitely give them a try! read more

Very disappointed in Cornerstone. My daughter took senior photos and before we left I asked about retakes and was told that it was free to retake the photos and I also asked if both session would be available for viewing and I was told yes. After the retakes were taken we were notified and logged in to view them, that is when we noticed that the og session was not available for viewing any longer so I called to ask what happened and was then told that once retakes are done those are the only photos to view and that I would have to pay an additional $30 for both sessions to be viewed, not what I was told to begin with at all. After going back and forth with the lady I told her to please put back the og session. After all of that my daughter logged in and personally selected her Yearbook photo. fast forward to today, she receives her yearbook and there is a photo of her from the retake session and there is no real explanation as to how this happened. We did not pick it because my daughter was not happy with those photos and when she picked the photo the retakes were not an option at all. Emailing with them today and all I get are excuses that really to do not make any sense at all! Very disappointed in them as a company. If I can offer you any advice it would be to make sure that you confirm with them multiple times on what image will appear in the yearbook, something that I did not do because I put my trust in this company! read more

We use Cornerstone for everything at our Middle School. Each and every time, we are impressed with their quality of work and the professionalism of their staff. We use them for our school pictures, 8th grade panoramic, promotion portraits, promotion dance, and for our yearbook. I highly recommend them for any of your photography needs!! read more

This company is terrible! Why would I pre-order a photo package without having seen their work. We called to see if we could have the code to view the photos and they were unable to help us. I urge other schools to use a more reputable company. read more
