    Our cozy home sesh

    This review is long overdue! Emily is not only a fantastic photographer, but she's also friendly and personable. My husband and I have two younger children; she was great with them. Before our scheduled date, Emily sent us a link to her website and tips on preparing for our shoot. Her website and all the resources she sent my way were so helpful. It didn't take me long to realize that she's super organized, informative, and aesthetic. We were scheduled for an outdoor photo shoot in March, but the rain came! Emily was quick to suggest a home photo shoot instead, and oh my goodness - it was perfect! She captured in-the-moment photos and suggested poses, too. She was also open to taking our ideas, which was kind! She was in and out in under 20 minutes, and the quality of her photos reveals her God-given talent. The images we received were all excellent! We couldn't just pick 5, so we purchased the entire gallery! It was well worth it! Did I mention she had the photos ready before the expected date?! We'll be returning to Emily for future photography sessions!

    Amazing! We are always happy with the quality of the images Emily captures of our family, the natural settings and her ability to capture the moment with our 2 energetic toddler sons Highly recommend!

    Emily is amazing! She captures beautiful images. She made us feel so comfortable and made it really easy on us. Can't wait to have another photo shoot.

    Best photographer in Whittier! I loved my pictures. I've done two photo sessions with Emily and love her style and is super friendly and gives great tips on what to wear to your photo sessions. Definitely recommended her for your weddings, engagement, family, and newborn pictures!

He didn't pressure us and was super patient with us and our questions. We didn't hesitate and said yes to him doing our wedding. He was great throughout everything. And when it came to the day of I was really grateful towards him because if it hadnt been for him we would have not taken certain pictures and missed out on some memories.

Steve also takes great party photos and we will be having him do our party snap as well a second time. We also have had friends who've used them as well and are highly satisfied. They're really good, kind, caring people who want to make sure you get the best photos. Their prices are also reasonable and fair and you can find them posted on their website (unlike many photographers who are elusive and just don't publish their prices which can be annoying). I was able to share with them my vision and how I want things to look and they took that into consideration as well You really won't be disappointed if you go with Irin Studio.

My family came to take photos for my son's first birthday. We had 4 costume changes and 4 backdrops. They handled my son with a lot of care.

They were clearly very experienced and well prepared for this. They brought out his best smile! I highly recommend for baby photos and family photos.

From the very beginning, they were fantastic communicators, helping me with everything from choosing the location to discussing the overall style of the shoot. On the day of the session, they were warm, funny, and made everyone feel completely at ease. They were the perfect team to capture our family's memories. It was especially helpful that they spoke both Cantonese and Mandarin, which made communicating with my parents-in-law so much easier. Even more impressively, they somehow managed to get my cranky 9-month-old engaged and smiling throughout the session! And of course, the photos were absolutely stunning. The perfect finishing touch to an already wonderful experience. I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out and will definitely be booking Dave and Florence again. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for talented photographers who truly know how to make the experience enjoyable for the whole family.

From start to finish, the entire experience was smooth, comfortable, and enjoyable. Dave has a great eye for lighting, composition, and detail, but what impressed me most was his ability to make the session feel natural and relaxed. He takes the time to understand what you are looking for and provides excellent direction without making the process feel overly staged. The quality of the final photographs exceeded my expectations. They were polished, professional, natural, and beautifully captured. If you are looking for a photographer who combines technical expertise, creativity, professionalism, and exceptional customer service, I highly recommend Dave Yip Photography. A truly first class experience from beginning to end. Five stars!

She has…read morebeen there to capture the most sacred, life-changing moments of my life from my engagement, wedding, pregnancy announcement, pregnancy, newborn photos, and family photos. Every single time she has given us something far beyond photographs. She has given us memories we will treasure forever. Nicole is the most genuine, loving, beautiful soul. From the moment you meet her, you feel safe, understood, and completely cared for. She pours her whole heart into her work, and it shows in every image. Her photos are not just stunning they are emotional, intimate, and alive. She captures love in its purest form. During seasons that were tender, emotional, and overwhelming, Nicole showed up with warmth, patience, and so much love for my family. These are moments you can never get back, and because of her, we get to relive them over and over again. I will forever cherish the times she has helped my family and the way she has preserved our story. I love her so much and am endlessly grateful for her talent, her heart, and her presence in our lives. Choosing Nicole as your photographer means choosing someone who will treat your memories like they matter because to her, they truly do.

She is everything both a client and a planner could want in a photographer talented, professional, calm under pressure, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Nicole is a true creative partner. She has the perfect balance of personality and leadership able to command a room when needed to achieve the shots that matter most, while still photographing in an organic, effortless way that captures the true essence of each moment. Her eye for lighting and angles is exceptional, and her work is consistently artistic, elevated, and timeless. Clients are beyond happy with their decision to book her, and it's easy to see why. Aside from her talent, her turnaround time is incredible. She shares sneak peeks so quickly, which clients always appreciate especially while they're still on that post-wedding high. And planners appreciate as well! Being able to relive such a meaningful day through photos (and video) so soon after the celebration is truly exciting, and Nicole consistently goes above and beyond to deliver galleries as quickly as possible without ever compromising quality. She is an absolute pleasure to work with, and I look forward to many more events together!! Xoxo

    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
