I am so grateful of the entire experience and happy with how our family photos turned out! I chose…read morethe premium holiday in-studio and outdoor package. It began with a virtual consultation with Nadine and Sofia to go over the details of the photoshoot and next steps. Since I am pregnant and also have two boys, I wanted the photoshoot to be special by capturing our growing family. We decided on a maternity and family holiday photoshoot, which included variety of backgrounds and outfits. The next step was scheduling a in-person fitting prior yo the shoot to try on a few dresses. Sofia put together a styling sheet and provided suggestions on what to wear for my family to coordinate nicely. Sofia also provided a timeline on the day of the shoot, which was very helpful. As a busy pregnant working mom, the best thing about this entire experience was getting professional hair and makeup done at the studio! Shoutout to artist Veronica for making me feel and look my best. I have done two sunrise family photoshoots in the past, and I absolutely do not have the energy, time, or desire to get ready on my own. I also had a maternity in-studio photoshoot done last year, I had to go get makeup and hair done in two different places, then drive an hour, which by then my curls were no longer holding. Not at Sachiko Studios, they will take care of you from beginning to end, and you will feel fresh. After getting hair and makeup done, we did a quick maternity photoshoot session. My family met us at the studio and we did the holiday photoshoot. The in-studio photos of our family portraits turned out lovely. For outdoor shoot, we drove to Bradbury's Bridge, which was about 15 min away. I loved the fall and natural backdrops. Having the option of doing an outdoor photoshoot was great because it captured our active kids candidly. Nadine was so great with my kids! She was able to capture my youngest looking happy and all smiles. She rewarded my oldest for being good at following directions.

Finally came to a place in my business where I felt like I needed some professional branding…read morephotos. My business is ALL me and I needed help capturing what I do to launch on my website. My photo session included hair and makeup by one of Nadine's stylists, Quendy (highly recommend!!) and wardrobe! That really helped because my closet consists of leggings and sweaters lol. We did 3 outfit changes, Nadine shot some of my products, and action shots with a model. Nadine made the whole experience very comfortable and fun for someone who is *really* shy and prefers to stay behind the camera. I love how my photos came out and excited for another photo session in the future!

I had to book a last-minute family photoshoot to capture precious moments with family who are…read morerarely in town, and I'm so glad I found Dave and his partner, Florence! 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.

I had an outstanding experience with Dave Yip Photography. Dave and his team (his wife) are…read moreincredibly professional, talented, and genuinely committed to capturing the best possible images. 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!

Highly recommend Jim for great photography.

From start to finish, he was professional, thoughtful, and so talented at capturing genuine moments. Our pre-wedding shoot felt completely effortless -- Jim gave us just the right amount of direction to bring out our natural selves (and even included our dog in such a sweet way), so the photos feel authentic rather than posed. On the wedding day, he somehow managed to capture every meaningful detail and emotion while blending seamlessly into the background. The photos are everything we hoped for and more, and we know we'll treasure them forever. We couldn't recommend Jim more highly to anyone looking for a photographer who brings both artistry and genuine care to his work.

I booked my glam session with Nadine right after completing my first Spartan Trifecta. I wanted to…read moredocument for myself the best shape I've ever been in after working hard in the gym and on the meal prep front. Here's what we did... She made me feel like I was getting the red carpet treatment! Normally I don't rock make-up or do my hair or wear luscious gowns but mannnn!! In the time leading up to our session, we had a consult to talk about the look I wanted and the outfits I wanted to wear. I personally wanted to focus on my workout gear and she gave me the option to consider and think on also lingerie and a fancy gown. I said well, yeah, let's do it! Fast forward to the day of, I had a whole suitcase packed with possible outfits--- I counted on Nadine's expert eye to choose the colors she thought would pop. I then was ushered over to meet the make-up team-- like I mentioned earlier, this is normally not something I'd do. It was just awesome sitting there just getting pampered. Eye sensitivity is a thing for me but my eyes were done with the most super gentle brush strokes (turns out my make up artist trained in fine art). Anyway, once we got to the shoot itself, Nadine made me super comfortable. We shot me in my fitness outfits in a few backgrounds at first. I didn't really have a gown or anything fancy for the more dressy part and it was here that Nadine busted out an incredible two piece dress that she thought I could pull off lol. Lastly we went to the boudoir and lacy stuff. Once I saw my photos in these outfits, I thought hot damn, Nadine you made me look too good. If you're thinking of getting a photoshoot done either for just yourself or maybe to impress your other half-- all while being pampered, transformed and feeling completely comfortable while doing it-- contact Nadine asap. You're going to get the best.

Nadine Sachiko was wonderful, kind, and made the whole experience fun and exciting (I was nervous since it was my first time). I was lucky that there was an available booking a few days after I put in a request and it was 2 weeks before Valentine's day. I had the option of bringing my own clothes or try hers. The package I bought was for makeup, hair, 2 outfits and shoes. Nadine knows what she is doing! She will help you with your poses every step of the way. Tip: Stretch before you go (I don't workout) because you will be holding the poses the entire time and my body was sore. You will be there for about 4 hours. Nadine's work was great. Not as much photoshop was needed and she sends you proofs/drafts of how it would look in an album! She made the whole process easy! I will go back to her again for family or couples photos next time!

Surprisingly even my fiancé had a blast too and normally he hates stuff like that! They are very easy going and professional and just get right into it without any hesitation. He got the photos to us very quickly (within a week) and in my opinion came out AMAZING!!!!!!

My boyfriend and I have never taken professional photos with each other before and didn't really know what to do. They were super helpful of loosening us up and directing us on how to pose. They even gave us tips on posing so that we look thinner in our photos (ain't nobody got time for double chins ;P).

This post is LONG overdue, but I wanted to share the multiple amazing experiences I had with Toni…read more She was incredibly responsive to all my questions about timing and pricing, and she managed to capture the most precious moments in our new baby's life. We had the pleasure of doing a "fresh 48" photoshoot, and thanks to her flexibility, Toni was able to come to the hospital the morning our baby was born. This gave us beautiful, priceless memories of our newborn's very first moments. In addition to the "fresh 48" shoot, I worked with Toni for announcement photos and photos with her grandparents. Each time, she spent quality time ensuring the baby was in a good mood (which was super helpful, especially when there was no feeding schedule!). She meticulously adjusted the lighting and every other detail to perfection. Toni's dedication to her craft and her patience with our little one truly set her apart. Her ability to capture these fleeting moments is a gift. Please take a look at some of her work, and if you are considering photos of your new baby, I highly recommend Toni. She is simply amazing.

Her prices are incredibly reasonable but more importantly she really makes you feel comfortable. I have done 2 photo shoots with her and have 1 more on the way. My first photo shoot with her was for my solo realtor business cards. My next photo shoot included my business partner, who is a bit camera shy. Toni did an excellent job talking us through poses and giving us suggestions. Even if you feel ridiculous in a pose, you may find yourself pleasantly surprised by the outcome. When it comes to editing, she listens to your asks and makes it happen. If she doesn't know how, she'll find out. Long story short, I very much enjoy working with Toni because she makes me feel comfortable and is open to my feedback. That goes a long way when working with photographers.
