We took family photos with Drew recently. Couldn't have been more happier. He was on time, kind and professional. The patience he showed with our little ones was exemplary and appreciated. He took his time to make sure we had solid backgrounds and worked with my wife's wishes and tastes. Communication via e-mail was great as well. Thanks Drew! read more

Drew Dailey Images - Session Photography Near Me

I have shot with Drew Dailey over a dozen times. With modeling being my full time profession, i have worked with dozens of photographers and I must say that Drew Dailey is one of my top three favorite photographers to work with. The work I have done with him has been published and released in multiple publications and online features. He is not only a fabulous easy person to work with, he's reliable, fun, and engaging at the shoots. His work is not just limited to a certain genre or type, he can shoot weddings, children, babies, high fashion, swim, body paint, motorcycle shoots, and much more. The man is seriously talented. And beyond that he is a good person. It would be a mistake not to book Drew :D Cheers to you Double D ( 'D'rew 'D'ailey ) read more

Drew's images speak for themselves. My wife and I hired Drew to photograph us for our Christmas cards this past year. With my wife being 7 months pregnant he really took the time to accentuate this and our photos turned out great. We got so many compliments and I will be referring him to all my friends. If you are looking for a photographer with a great eye for stunning images and has the patience to make those images happen for you, then Drew is your man. Thanks Drew and we will be back! read more

I found Drew on a LivingSocial deal. Drew came over to our house to take our son's newborn pictures at exactly 1 week of age. He was super easy to schedule with, responsive, accommodating, personable, and friendly. He took great shots of our newborn son. He took our suggestions on shot ideas and implemented them immediately. I personally really liked the fact that he didn't skimp on the amount of pictures he gave us at the end of the shoot (unlike so many photographers out there). He also hand edited a bunch of them too. I would definitely recommend Drew! read more

We booked Drew for my little one's 6 month photos. I was a little weary of how the session was going to go because taking pictures with two little boys is a damn near impossible feat. One is usually not looking when the other is, the toddler just ignores me outright when I ask him to smile for the camera and both kids have a collective attention span of 5-10 minutes tops. Yes, my boys would make terrible models but I would still like pictures of my little rascals for the house. Drew suggested the beach so we met him there--well, we were late and he was on time so I felt a little bad off the bat. He didn't seem annoyed or rushed because we were tardy but seemed like he was in a good mood and tried to warm up to my boys immediately. It was nice that he made an effort with the kids because my toddler trusts no one and my baby recently discovered stranger anxiety. Drew took pictures of us as a posed group but he was also took candid photos of us walking and being together. My husband's favorite shot of the whole session is a candid one where Drew captured all of us in the background blurry with my son in focus and running towards Drew while making the cutest expression! After an outfit change the kids started getting fussy. Drew was super patient and waited for my kids to come around. He also brought along a prop basket that we put the little one in and I have to say it was the cutest thing. The baby thought being in the basket was fun so we got a whole bunch of amazing photos with him in there smiling away. We got our photos about 2 weeks after the session and they were the BEST. I was floored when we loaded the pictures. I didn't realize how many good shots Drew was able to get! I was fretting the kids' fussiness was only going to yield a handful of photos but he somehow snapped the pictures at the right time and we got some really precious ones of the kids together. He was able to really capture my boys' personalities and we got some really nice photos of our entire family too. I'm usually the one taking pictures of the boys so I'm hardly in any pictures with them. It means a lot to me that I have pictures with my kids--really nice ones!! I recommend Drew for any occasion and am so impressed by his work and his professionalism. I am so happy! read more

Drew is an amazing photographer. I read the other great reviews and decided to get the Yelp deal - (which is a steal!!!) Drew was very accommodating of our schedule and was able to fit us in very quickly. We wanted an outdoor session for family photos and he recommended a nice park for us to take pictures at. He also helped us coordinate our outfits with our daughters. He was punctual and very friendly and easy to work with. He has a lot of patience which is what you want when taking pictures of babies/toddlers. The photos of our daughter and of the family were great! He took some very artistic and creative pictures which were beautiful! He was also patient as we changed my daughter into 4 outfits. He also has toys with him to keep kids engaged ( he had bubbles for our daughter!!!) I would definitely recommend Drew Daily photography- he's awesome!!! read more

Drew is the best baby photographer I have ever seen. I have used him from the beginning with maternity photos and monthly for Paige's first year. He is affordable, great package deals. It is a huge plus how he comes to my home to shoot and I enjoy discussing the shoot and ideas prior to him coming. He has a quick turn around time and I have yet to ever be disappointed. Time goes so fast and I am thankful he has allowed me to capture memories of my baby! read more

Senior photos for OCSA one year ago. We couldn't be happier and plan to use Drew for our second daughter's session in about a year. I think any other photographer would be a disappointment to us. Drew is extremely professional and a great guy. He is very affordable considering the quality of his work. read more

We hired Drew Dailey to take our daughter's 6 month portraits after a great recommendation from a friend. We had seen his work and were pleased, so when we saw our daughter's pictures we literally fell off our seats when we saw that he did an even better job that we imagined! We HAD to use him again for my daughter's 1 year portraits. And of course, he outdid himself yet again! My daughter's 1st year pictures were AMAZING to say the least. I can't stop thanking Drew for capturing those two very important milestones in my daughter's life. They are absolutely gorgeous images and will be treasured in our heart and in our homes for many years to come! Book him now; you will be more than glad you did! read more

Drew Dailey Images - 6 Month Shoot - Newport Beach, CA - Session Photography Near Me

See all

Drew took our holiday photos last Christmas. Our son was 2.5 months old at the time, so I appreciated that he came to our house for the photography session and was punctual, which made things easy and convenient for a first-time parent. He was also friendly and professional, and he delivered our photos by the requested date. However, I do recommend you come up with your own photo ideas if you're going to do an at-home session and your child is a few months old. Go to the black hole that is Pinterest if you must. I'm sure Drew does well in settings like the beach and park where inspiration is easier to find and with kids that are older and more active, but it seemed like he was struggling a bit with what to do with our little one in our small condo. That said, we were overall satisfied with his work and would like to try his photography services again. read more

Drew took our newborn photos one week post partum. He was very patient with the baby crying and diaper changes. I was able to breastfeed and soothe the baby without feeling rushed at all. We received our photos exactly a week later as promised and they were AWESOME! He really should be charging more for the quality but I'm not complaining. We hope to use him for our son's 1 year birthday and family photos. read more

Drew does a great job capturing candid images of our kids. I've used Drew twice now, both times for family shoots. Each time, he has managed to capture wonderful pictures of the kids running around and laughing. The family shots turned out great too! read more

Drew works magic. I have used him twice; once for photos of our extended family (5 adults and 3 young children) and once for my toddler (aged 20 months). Both times he produced beautiful pictures. For the family photos he captured posed, group photos, with every person looking at the camera (a miracle), as well as fun "action shots" of the kids playing. He was beyond patient with our boisterous bunch and provided gentle and helpful direction in getting the kids to cooperate. When he photographed my toddler, my son was recovering from an illness and was irritable and not very cooperative. Plus we were late (shame on me). Drew managed to coax him out of his bad mood and capture some darling images. Kids seem to respond well to his gentle nature! Drew is easy to communicate with, always responds in a timely manner, and is very prompt with getting the photos to you. read more

Considering previous reviews, I decided to have Drew take newborn photos of my daughter. Unfortunately, both my husband and I were very disappointed with the photos. We have taken better photos of our daughter on our phones! I understand she is a newborn but we had counted on him to capture photos my daughter that portray how precious and beautiful she is. Instead the photos look like he had just taken random photos of her that were not appealing at all. Don't waste your time or money! read more

Drew -- Thank you so much for the beautiful pictures you took for my daughter. My husband and I like them, grandparents like them, my daughter herself like them! Thank you for bringing smiles to our family. I'm so happy that we finally have some good "complete" family pictures to show off. Until you came, our "family pictures" were mostly "single parent pictures" as either me or my husband had to hold the camera. :) Yelper - If you are reading this and deciding whether or not to give Drew a try, GO FOR IT! Drew is a "4P" you need: Punctual - he arrived our home 10 mins before appointment time. Patient - we changed 4 outfits for the baby in a hour and Drew was patiently waiting the whole time. Photographer - Captured lots of cute moments of my baby and the pictures were so beautiful Professional - Not only did he take good pictures, edit them nicely, mail them out in timely manner; he took an extra step to give us extra images without extra charge! I had done so much research for baby portraits before we used Drew; all studios/photographers are expensive, restricted, and intimidating. I considered myself very lucky finding Drew on Living Social. I bet you must have had one or several bad Groupon/LivingSocial experiences because you were treated differently; but it didn't happen to Drew - he offered the deal, honored it professionally! The photo session was a wonderful and comfortable experience. Forget about those studio packages that cost you hundreds of dollars a session with one pose printed at a full-of-germ studio. My experience with Drew was GREAT, I believe yours will be too. read more

Great photography! Drew definitely has the Vision that I don't see which is why I keep going back to Drew for my family and kids pictures. He comes to our house or local area and the pictures are always awesome! read more

Very nice, prompt and professional. The pictures turned out beautiful, although I don't feel like he gave enough direction in order for us to look our best. We're not a model looking family and need all the help we can get! Great prices too. read more

Drew is an amazing photographer his sense of style and vision is a breath of fresh air in a industry saturated with mediocrity. I would recommend Drew to any of my friends. read more

We had a wonderful experience with Drew taking photos of our family at a local beach this month. I just received the images and they are fabulous! He captured our family spot on! Drew was super accomodating scheduling our shoot and even rescheduled for me when we weren't able to make the original date set. The shoot was extremely relaxed and Drew allowed our children to play, run and have fun (all the while, capturing each moment). Drew was extremely caring and compassionate to our elderly family members too and let them take their time and feel comfortable during our time together. At the end of our shoot our boys (ages 13 and 6) both expressed to us how much fun they had. "He wasn't telling us where to stand and when to smile like that other photographer did!" Our family will definitly call on Drew again! read more

Drew's photographs are incredible!! My husband and I just had him do a family photo shoot for our daughter's 6 month birthday and the pictures are AMAZING!!!! He did such a great job and we are sooo happy!!! Drew had great ideas while at the same time let us be ourselves and it is reflected in the fantastic photographs. He was very warm, friendly, and professional. We will definitely be using him again. I would highly recommend Drew Dailey to capture your special moments. read more

We would definitely recommend Drew Dailey. We used Drew when our daughter was 5 weeks old and were more than pleased. We had read reviews, but being first time parents, were so anxious about whether our daughter would be in a good mood or cooperate. Drew was so calm responding to my concerns and really put me at ease beforehand, which I really appreciated. He was punctual and more importantly, EXTREMELY PATIENT!! Not just with the baby, but with us too :) He has a calming effect and is very easy to work with, yet professional all at the same time. We were so happy & excited when we received the images, that we can't wait for her 6 month session. Thank you Drew!! read more

Drew is such a great photographer. I had him photograph my son, and we went to a very nice park. The deal was suppsed to be a 20 photo deal, however I received almost 80 pictures! and, they all looked great. He is also very flexible and accommodating. I'd highly recommend his work read more

Drew is professional and easy going. Pictures came out perfect and we will use him again soon. Choose Drew to do your photo shoot.

I wanted to have professional photos done for my daughter's 1 year photos. I saw Drew's Living Social deal, and after reviewing his online portfolio, I decided to book him. He was very easy to get in contact with, and he had some great suggestions for locations to do the shoot. My daughter is very active, and it is hard to keep her still, but the images he captured are amazing! I was very impressed with the fast turn around time and even more impressed with the gorgeous pictures that he sent us. He went above and beyond what was in the Living Social deal. It said 20 edited photos, and he sent us about 70! There were so many beautiful photos to choose from to get printed for our living room. I was so happy that we chose Drew as our photographer. We will definitely use him again in the future. read more

We found drew a year ago through a living social promotion. He took pictures of my 2 year old son at the time and we found him very patient and easy to work with. We have used other photographers in the past and they were impatient and irritable with my son. They were more into taking the pictures and getting out as soon as possible. But not drew! He captured some smiley, adorable pictures of my son. So this year when we wanted to take family Christmas pictures and additional pictures of our new daughter (who has very little pictures of her taken) we knew drew would be the guy who could capture some great pictures. Again, he was early, professional, friendly, easy mannered and patient. I think he caught some great pictures and we can't wait to see them! read more

Drew Dailey has been taking our family photos for several years. He is great with my kids and brings out the best in them for the shoot. He is creative with the end product and I there are always a handful of shots that are just spectacular! I am consistently pleased with the result and he is a great value. Will continue to use him for sure! read more
