Steve is a true professional who seamlessly wears all the hats for family photography!…read more Steve recently photographed our family of four in an outdoor setting (October 2024). Our sons are 2 and 1, so we knew it was an ambitious goal - but we really wanted to capture this moment in time we know will go by so fast. Leading up to the photo session, Steve provided tips for outfits and preparing for the photoshoot, which helped me feel confident leading up to it. When we arrived, Steve was already there to meet us glowing with positive energy, which immediately snapped all of us out of the stressful morning of getting ready. Steve was not only a master behind the camera but also a real professional, as he seamlessly wears all the hats! He is brilliant with kids, quick on the shots, and goes with the flow while incorporating our ideas into the shoot, resulting in gorgeous photography of candid moments and genuine smiles with exceptional lighting and quality. While I was doing my makeup in the morning before the photoshoot, all I could think about was how to maintain the kids' runny noses during the shoot (do toddler's noses ever stop running?). When we received our photos, you would never know. Steve was able to edit this out so we can look back on wonderful memories of this time of love and laughter without runny noses tainting the moments. I am looking forward to hanging several prints on our wall and sending out favorite photos in our annual Christmas cards to friends and family. Due to the circumstances of photographing our family with little ones, I was really hoping to get at least a few favorites. I feel so thankful and thrilled to say Steve did such a remarkable job that we love so many of the photos - we are having a difficult time narrowing down our favorites!

Wow. The entire experience with Steve was truly great--from the intial contact, through…read morecoordinating the time and location, the actual shoot, and the post-session follow-up. We had determined a shoot location and Steve arrived there early to check the conditions. He immediately contacted us stating that with the cloud cover, lighting, and fog off of the water that the conditions were less than ideal. Steve then gave us the option to proceed with that spot or choose anywhere else that we would like. Hes very flexible and accomodating. Steve was so personable, lively, energetic, and creative. He was great with our two kids. He also had a great way of moving the session along without 'hurrying.' We felt that he earnestly took into account our ideas and he made an effort to incorporate them into the shoot. We also appreciated his creativity, vision, and technical aptitude. He would explain his reasoning behind the different poses, locations, and arrangements--eg, the lighting, the background, etc. Steve would redo a shot if he didnt feel great about it and he regularly shared some of the images as the session progressed. Also, we took a ton of shots with a myriad of different poses--he went above and beyond. Above all--he just seemed like nice down-home kinda guy--youd have a beer with him. Yeah...we all felt very comfortable and at ease with him! Highly recommend Steve and Hawk Fish photography.

I was one the organizers bringing back the Turkey Day Dash in Thousand Oaks in 2023. We needed a…read morephotographer who could take pics of participants in the race. Being it was the first time back after many years, we did not have much money to pull this event off. I found Brandon on Facebook and messaged him if he would be willing to be our official photographer and told him he would have to do it for peanuts. He agreed and showed up Thanksgiving morning camera equipment in hand. The pics we got back from the event were stunning. I was very surprised at the quality of his work and they way he captured the event. We were very lucky to find him and he has covered the Conejo Valley Parade as well as other events I have coordinated. He is now my go to for photographer. Only problem now is getting him booked with his now busy schedule. If you want a photographer who will show you off in your best light, reach out to Brandon now before he gets booked for something else. - Gerritt Beatty

She was patient with our kids and knew how to get them to look at the camera. She took a variety of different groupings of people since there were 11 people. All of our photos turned out beautiful.

When we went to her home studio a week later to view the proofs and select our portrait package, we were absolutely blown away. The quality of her photography is just unbelievable, and every single photograph of the girls was absolutely stunning. It honestly, it made me emotional, which I did not expect. Photography is definitely an investment, so to have an outcome like we did was such a gift. Thank you, Emily! We could not love our photographs of Addison more!

Al Ungar was a professional in every sense of the word. He was easy to work with, quick, and…read moreefficient. I only needed one image and he gave me at least a dozen to choose from that I really like. He is extremely reasonable, his price is more than competitive. His studio is in his garage and I suppose it could get hot, but this was a summer day and I was fine. He is providing me with ten finished images, nine more than I expected. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a reasonable, professional and easy to work with photographer.
