I was delighted that Ester was able to accommodate my very first grandchild's photoshoot the day before her vacation. She also managed to edit all the pictures they selected for their package. I was particularly impressed with the suggestions she offered my daughter prior to the photoshoot, which undoubtedly contributed to keeping my granddaughter at ease. I admired the wide array of clothing options, accessories, backgrounds, and props she provided. She truly possessed a remarkable talent with infants, skillfully changing their attire and repositioning them even while the baby was asleep. I am grateful that she permitted us to capture videos and photos during the session. I will share the pictures once my daughter has had the opportunity to distribute them to our family and friends. I wouldn't want to spoil her surprise. read more

Esther has an amazing personality, made us feel at home the moment we walked in for our 1 year old session. She was very kind and patient with a child and with us. Answer all of our questions and provided very cute outfits for our child. We loved the attention to detail in our photos. Will definitely recommend and look forward to working with again! Communication 10/10. Thank you Esther! read more

Very unprofessional. They cancel on our session 30 minutes before the designated time saying the photographer is sick with diarhea and vomiting. I had my family ready, made up the whole morning and we had to drive to their location. I u derstand that people get sick but you don't only get aware of it 30 minutes before a job. I think you might have some more lead time being aware of how you're feeling. I find them very unprofessional and I am refunding the payment I sent. Very unprofessional and inconsiderate. Think again before you invest time and money. read more

I've had the absolute best experiences here every single time. She is always so kind, patient, and understanding -- especially with me and my little son. I've been coming since 2023, so it's been two years now, and she has captured so many special moments for us: maternity photos, newborn photos, Christmas sessions, and Mother's Day photos. The photos always turn out beautiful, and I constantly get compliments on them. I recommend this place to anyone looking for high-quality, meaningful photography. Not only is it conveniently close to our home, but the quality of her work and the care she puts into every session truly stand out. She is amazing at her job, and I'm so grateful to have found her! read more

This review is long overdue. We've been going to Ester since before my son turned one, when she used to have her studio in her home. She always does such a great job in getting my son to smile, now my son is so used to her, he usually has a smile ready for the camera. Ester is always professional and always on time, which is important. I definitely recommend going to her for all your picture needs. read more

I don't know where to start. Ester is super great. We had issues with our newborn and was in and out of the hospital. She was super understanding and made changes to our appointment with her very easy. Just for that I would go back again but that's not the only reason why I would go back. Her work is super nice! Saw her ads on IG and I'm glad I did make that appointment. The pictures came out great. If I could get all of them, I would. I'm definitely gonna book another session with her. You guys should too. I promise you won't be disappointed. read more

10/10 Experience Love the studio setup,it's so creative and unique! I really appreciate that she has such a great selection of dresses for the girls, from newborns to older children, that perfectly match the backgrounds she sets up. And that's not all ,she also has the cutest headbands and hair accessories to complete each look! She's incredibly patient. My little girl had just turned 3 and wasn't having it after the first few shots, but she handled it with so much understanding and we still got beautiful photos. I received my pictures the week after our shoot ,she's so fast! I also had my maternity pictures done here, and she provided a gorgeous dress for that session as well. I absolutely love her work and will definitely keep coming back. 100% recommend ,completely worth the price! read more

Ester is Awesome! We've now done two shoots with Ester, and she's great with children. She knows how get the kiddos going and gets some awesome poses as a result read more

Exceptionally beautiful photos. Ester is such a kind, warm hearted person and so lighthearted with the children. She's extremely creative, fun & patient with her families. Her staff are extremely friendly and helpful. She has an array of children's clothing for creative, natural or elegant photo shoots. Her photos will provide beautiful memories for a lifetime! read more

I am beyond impressed and happy with Ester. She was so patient, kind, and friendly with my chaotic family during my daughter's 1 year photoshoot. Her studio is nicely designed and cute, and the background and cake for the cake smash were beautiful. She knew how to make my daughter laugh, which made the photos come out looking so darn adorable. I had such a good feeling about Ester that I booked our holiday shoot with her when we got home. Ester sent me our proofs within 2 days. After I picked our photos, she sent the final product in the same day. OMG! She definitely knows that a quick turnover rate will keep her clients coming back. I couldn't be happier with her customer service, responsiveness through IG and emails, etc. It's so hard to find a photographer who has the whole package and I've had bad experiences with photographers, so I'm SO glad that I found Ester. Absolutely looking forward to our holiday photoshoot and to our future family photoshoots with her. :) read more

Ester is absolutely incredible. My family and I have been taking pictures in her studio for a couple of years now and i would say to any mom and dads out there that she does a incredible job. I have taken pictures of my baby when she was, well a baby lol and Ester has always gone out of her way to make my baby smile, then when we got our son who we are adopting as well she again went out of her way to make him feel safe and comfortable, which as a mom that means everything to any parent. She has taken family pictures of us, baby pictures, milestone and holiday pictures and every single time she has been wonderful, and her work speaks for itself. Take a moment and follow her on Instagram and soon you'll be joining the Ester fan club. She makes everyone feel welcomed and truly cares for your kids. Highly recommend her work and her integrity to everyone who is looking to capture such important moments in life Thank you Ester for all that you do and for making my babies feel safe and happy, they always get happy to see you. read more

I've been using Ester for my family photos for almost 2 years now. She did our infant photos, multiple annual Mother's Day photos and valentines photos for our twins. Highlights on why you need to book with her: She quickly turns around photos (sometimes like two days). I've worked with photographers that sometimes take months. She's got a super cute, private studio in a pretty little business park. Parking is easy. Access is easy. Her place is always so nice and welcoming. Parking to door is 10 seconds. Ester is so friendly and makes you feel comfortable. Her photos are beautiful. She's amazing with babies and small children. She always goes the extra mile to get our photos and knows what it actually means to try to get toddler twins to pose. If you have girls, her girl clothes selection appears to be great (I have boys). Her pricing, especially her mini sessions, are so so reasonably priced. We love Ester. read more

Ester is amazing! She has been the only photographer who is able to capture great images, make you feel comfortable in front of the camera & she's great with kids. Took my son for his 1st bday cake smash and he's at the stage where his clingy, but he was comfortable enough to be belly laughing with Ester. She's well worth it! Bummed I didn't book her for my baby's newborn pictures. read more

Thank you Ester. We love working with you! Great work and even better person! Always appreciate your patience with the kids.

I've had the pleasure of working with her for both my Christmas photos and my birthday photos, and she never disappoints! She's so kind and incredibly patient with my kids, which makes the whole experience stress free and enjoyable. She always goes above and beyond to make sure everything turns out beautifully, and her props are always exactly what I ask for. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for stunning photos and a wonderful experience. read more

I'm so glad I found Ester through Yelp for our family Christmas photos this year. Not only was she very professional, our photos exceeded our expectations. I loved that we were able to view our proofs online and select the ones we liked through their website with ease and convenience. She was also super sweet in accommodating us with some last minute changes to our order. Looking forward to booking her services again next year :) read more

I booked a smash cake and family session with Ester. I loved the experience and I loved all the photos that we took. My baby turning one and she loved Ester. Ester was able to make her laugh and the photos showed. The photoshoot was in her little studio and she has a selection of dresses that you are able to borrow for the shoot which is pretty cool. Definitely would take future photos with her. read more

I was lucky enough to stumble onto Ester's ig. She also held a summer mini session which was perfect timing because I was looking for a photographer to shoot birthday photos for my daughter without having to book a full session. Ester is amazing with children and she was able to get my daughter (who was grumpy and just woke up from a nap) to laugh and smile for photos. The whole process was a breeze. I booked her mini Christmas session and another spring mini. Ester is definitely my go to family photographer. Book a session with her and you won't regret it! read more

Ester is absolutely amazing I booked her to do my Christmas family photo shoot, including my Fiancé, my dog and my self. I was a little concerned as my Doberman is only 10 months, and most people have a bad view towards bigger dogs. However she was great! She had no problem including my fur baby, and literally focusing the shoot around him as he was a-little anxious. She was so patient, caring and new exactly what to do to get his attention. She got the most beautiful photos of my little family, I was so impressed. I definitely recommend her, and will be making this photo a tradition in my family as it expands. Thank you so much Ester, the photos are breathtaking read more

I'm so happy I went with Ester to photograph my newborn baby! From the beginning, she was very detailed with the services she provided and answered all of my concerns right away! Because of COVID, everyone was wearing masks and she made sure we sanitized our hands before entering her studio. This was my first time meeting Ester and it felt like an old friend because of how sweet she was and how comfortable she made us feel in her studio. She was so kind to offer my husband a chair and stool since he had to take an important work meeting during my baby's session without him even asking. Overall, the service Ester provided was exceptional and I can't wait to come back! read more

Ester Nguyen Photography - Behind the scenes! Thank you Ester for letting me capture this moment while you worked your magic! - Session Photography Near Me - Covina, California

Ester's personality is very bland. She has a monotone voice which doesn't excite you. It's as if she seems uninterested in the shoot. Customer service is also not up to par. She quoted me one price for add ons and then wouldn't honor that price. As a business, that's false advertisement. When you advertise wrong, you need to honor your word or you could at least given me another deal to make up for it. Photos turned out good but she also had a few editing issues. The photos also didn't look as centered as I would've liked. The cropping also left out certain background props and writings. I have used other photographers who are the same quality and even better yet they are not as pricey as she is. They also give you more photos and often the whole gallery. Unless you want 5-10 photos for $1,000 I suggest you look elsewhere. read more

We had a great experience with Ester and our cake smash session for my baby's 1st birthday. We also added a family session with it, and it did not disappoint. She was so nice and professional, and we appreciated all of the sanitation measures that were in place. When we received our pictures, we were beyond excited and loved everything! Choosing the pictures was the hardest part because we liked so many! lol read more
