I honestly never write reviews, but I felt truly compelled to share this.   Working with Thai at Firestone Photography was such a wonderful experience from start to finish. Not only is he incredibly talented behind the camera, he creates an environment where you feel completely comfortable and confident. That made all the difference for me.   What meant the most was his patience and generosity with his time. He went through multiple rounds of edits without hesitation -- always kind, always responsive, and always wanting to make sure I was fully happy with the final result. That level of care is rare.   I had an amazing time during the shoot, and the final headshots exceeded my expectations. Thai doesn't just take photos -- he genuinely cares about helping you put your best self forward.   If you're in the Bay Area and looking for professional headshots, I cannot recommend Firestone Photography enough. read more

Mr. Jeff Firestone is a true professional. I've previously never been very satisfied with my professional headshots. Mr. Firestone assured me he'd get me a few that I'd be happy with. It was a tall order, but he delivered as promised. At the end, he got me so many shots that I was happy with, that it was hard to narrow it down to a few choices. He was patient, supportive, and very attentive to my ideas. Thank you very much Mr. Firestone, for an experience far beyond anything I've gotten previously. Very happy with the results and I'm confident it will make the desired impression on my audience. As my two grown sons are completing college and headed into the work force, we will be back soon! You are a magician! read more

Jeff puts the fire in Firestone. I'm in love with my headshot. I reached out to Jeff to take headshots and group photos for Ohlone College's presidential cabinet and board of trustees. His studio is right across the street for our campus. He did a wonderful job with our photos - and all our staff loved them. Thank you so much, Jeff! read more

I found Jeff through a quick Yelp search and was so pleased that I did. I called on a random Wednesday afternoon asking how far in advanced are his bookings. Luckily for me, there was a last minute cancellation for the very next day and was able to squeeze me in. Over the phone he asked me what I was looking to do. I explained to him that a milestone birthday was coming up and I wanted to get my pictures taken to commemorate, and was a little unsure if he even does those kind of pictures, as I saw that he specialized in professional headshots. Almost instantly he knew what I was looking for and suggested I bring a few outfits to change. I walked in the next day with my mom and we were instantly greeted by Jeff. We again went over what kind of portraits I wanted, showing him my outfits I brought to help determine what background would fit the best. Within five minutes we were good to go and ready for the session. I had three outfits, with my hair pinned up at the beginning. After the first few pictures, Jeff suggested to have my hair down to see if having the fan on will make for a better effect. And boy did it ever! (the fact that he had a fan to get the "wind in the hair" effect was so cool!) Jeff was extremely professional and made me feel comfortable, making small talk, all while taking pictures. Once the session was finished Jeff told us to wait 15 minutes for him to get the pictures ready to look at. He suggested to stop by at the coffee shop next door while he edits. And so me and my mom did that, and true to his word, within 15-20 minutes, my pictures were ready to be previewed. After about 20 minutes of choosing, going back and forth which pictures I liked the best, I was set to go. Jeff promised that he would email me the final edited portraits within a few hours, and to which he did! Overall, I highly recommend Jeff and his studio. He was nothing but professional and time efficient. I ended up choosing 6 different portraits, all to which I absolutely love. So a HUGE thank you to Jeff! read more

Thanks again Jeff for another set of very flattering photos! It was worth traveling as far as I did to have you take them!

Some background: · I came here for taking profile pics for my online profile · I was always thinking a selfie or pics taken by a friend using a smartphone could be good enough for online profile pics but I didnt realize what magic a professional photography could create for online profile pics until I tried out this place. About the owner, location and neighborhood : · Jeff is such a pleasing personality to work with. He had some creative ideas on how to go about with my profile pics. · Also Jeff cracks real jokes based on what ticks you to create that natural smile in you rather than saying "say cheese" to product that artificial smile · The location is ideal because its located in a scenic neighborhood good for taking some nice outdoor shots · Jeff's studio is equipped with all latest equipment required for profile shots About the photoshoot : · Jeff took some amazing pics including headshots, outdoor shots, specific themed shots such as yoga, karate, etc. · You are encouraged to bring multiple kinds of attire from your wardrobe to create many experimental shots About post photoshoot and delivery : · After the shoot, he got those ready in 15 mins and took the time to review each and every photo on a big screen TV to help to narrow down to the short listed ones. · Once I made my final selections, he took the time to work on those short listed pics on photoshop to give it that magical look (or additional touches to the areas that need help) and emailed me those If you are on the border on whether to go for professional photography or not for your online profiles I would highly recommend you try it once because it can create that perfect magical picture that can get your profile shortlisted by your potential client/ date/ customer/ friend. I would highly recommend Jeff and Firestone photography. read more

I had the pleasure of meeting Jeff for my photo shoot for a professional picture . Since I first contacted his office, he was able to schedule me at a convenient time. When I came for the photo shoot, I thought he would take just a few pictures, but it turned out he took several over a course of an hour. He is very professional , patient and detailed to obtain the best shots . I was expecting to purchase only one picture for my website , but purchased several, I was impressed by the results. The turn around time was within the same day, after a few touch ups. needed for my curly hair ! This was the best photo experience , I have had over my 25 years in business and I will make sure to continue coming to see Jeff for family pictures . read more

I found Jeff after another place couldn't book me! I needed a 'updated' digital headshot of me for my new business card. Jeff was really easy to work with, made me laugh! The one thing about Jeff that really stood out for me was how consistent he is! I get a confirmation text the day before! When he said 'I'll get these images back to you in about a day'- he really meant it! The final product- this is one of my husband's favorite! Thanks Jeff- Have a safe new year ahead! read more

I did a photoshoot with Jeff today as I needed several business headshots. He was extremely prompt with scheduling and did a great job of during the photo session putting me at ease and describing how I needed to sit so he could capture the best images. We reviewed a series of digital images together, selecting the top ones. By the end of the afternoon he had finished processing the images, and I had the digital versions. The overall results were phenomenal - I would highly recommend Firestone Photography and plan to come back in the future to get a series of family photographs. read more

Firestone Photography - One of my photos taken. - Session Photography Near Me - Fremont, California

I had contacted Jeff to get my daughters senior photos done. Jeff is simply amazing to work with! We originally had a session scheduled with a corporation type photographer, but they had to cancel and told us to call to reschedule. I'm so glad I decided to go somewhere else and came across Firestone Photography! My daughter was nervous when we got there. A few minutes into the shoot and Jeff had her feeling really comfortable. He has a very quite way about him and puts you at ease right away. His work is nothing short of amazing! I plan on using him again when we need photos done again! Jeff had my photos to me that very same day. Thank you Firestone Photography! You were a shining star in such a strange senior year! We will treasure these photos forever! read more

Thanks for the outdoor photo, it really is special. I will definitely be a repeat customer. read more

Loved working with Jeff! He advocated for me when working with my school and Memory Makers for my senior portions. accommodated my crazy schedule, and helped make the session comfortable and fun.

Jeff is the best! He's not only amazing at getting your best shot, but also a very kind person. His work is impeccable! The reason why I like Jeff's work so much is because he is gifted with the ability to touch up your picture to the point where you look stunning without making you look like someone else. Also, in the past, with other professional photographers, I would feel pressured to hurry up and get the shot done; however, this wasn't the case with Jeff. He took time to make suggestions on my posture, hair, outfit and all the little details that make a big difference in the shot. No wonder why everyone in my office chooses to go with Jeff. read more

Jeff is amazing. This was my first time getting a professional headshot for my business profile. I walked in thinking I was going to not enjoy the experience and the photos would be unnatural.
