We needed a few new executive headshots taken for our corporate leadership page on our website. Grace provided the original photos, so we wanted synergy. No one was looking forward to the experience - headshots are not easy. But Judy made us all comfortable and the day turned out to actually be FUN! The results - we all love our new photos! I highly recommend Grace Image Photography if you are looking for a professional headshot for yourself or your organization. read more

Grace Image Photography - Event Photography Near Me - San Francisco, California

I've had the pleasure of using Jeni's services twice and I'll use her again and again. Always professional, personal, and even punny. She has the ability to make my double chin disappear and my witch hairs be gone...gotta love that! Move on over Jenny Craig...here comes Jeni Fong. read more

So if you're wondering why I just look so damn good in all of my photos, you can thank Jeni from Grace Photography! Seriously, I am one of those people that is just NOT photogenic. Every picture I'm in catches me in mid-motion, I look like I'm about to sneeze, or about to cry, or about to swallow a fly, or like I'm having a seizure. Jeni somehow managed to capture a photo of me where I look like I am sitting still. And she even managed to hide (er, um, photoshop) my double chin, and even a little (er, um, big) pimple. Jeni! Thanks for making me look professional! I'll defenitely be back for more one day! :-) read more

Jeni Fong was really professional and super friendly! I came here to get some headshots for my business profile and Jeni made me look great! Reasonable prices for the area and it was a quick turnaround for the final product. Would definitely recommend! read more

Awesome place if you want a great passport photo, since you have to keep it for 10 years, it might as well be a good picture. I got a set from Walgreens initially and it looked like I was being processed for jail or something, horrible. Grace Image Photography actually had lighting set-up, so my passport photos that were taken here looked great. Doreen was efficient and was in and out in about 5 minutes. I'm so thankful I found this place! Make sure to call and make an appointment before heading over there. read more

As LinkedIn becomes a daily destination point where people get their news and keep up on new events, your professional image is essential to how much credibility your words have. So I decided it was time to hire a professional photographer and I spent a lot of time looking at online portrait photographs for many of the local San Francisco studios. I selected Grace Image because their portraits fit with the professional look I wanted to present on my LinkedIn page. After scheduling the session, I decided to update both my LinkedIn & Facebook pictures at the same time. For Facebook, I wanted a more casual, but also a professional image that was a notch above the everyday headshot. Jeni Fong shot both and they turned out perfect far above my expectations. The results were truly stunning. After swapping out the old pictures for the ones Jeni did, I received a deluge of likes from people I hadn't spoken to in years and a universal thumbs up. I couldn't be more pleased with Jeni's work and I highly recommend GraceImage for anyone looking to boost their online image. My advice is to schedule now before it becomes impossible to get an appointment. read more

I had the most difficult time thinking about what to give mother dearest for her 60th birthday. It had to be extra special and from the heart. Alas!! What could be more perfect than a family portrait of her two PERFECT children. hehe (my brother and I) Besides...we were way overdue for an updated photo of the both of us. I imagined it to be elegant and sophisticated. Something that she could hang proudly on her living room wall. Jeni at Grace Image fulfilled that for us!!! The entire session was easy, fun and comfortable. She put my brother and I at ease to take the best pictures. They came out just how I wanted. I will definitely come back to see Jeni again. She's the BEST!!!!! And of course, my mom LOVED them. read more

I went to Grace Image Photography to have my Graduation photos taken. I read many reviews on Yelp and decided to go with Jeni because I had read a positive review about someone having their graduation photos taken by Jeni. I had an amazing time! Jeni was very friendly, yet professional, and knew what she was doing. We were chatting the whole time which made me feel very comfortable while taking the pictures. Also we did not just stick to the usual studio photos, Jeni took me outside to take some outdoor pictures at a very nice garden near by, which I thought was very different. I am very satisfied with how the pictures came out. Jeni's great!! read more

Came here for passport pictures. - Fast - Professional - Friendly Quality of the pictures are good and price is okay. But I rather pay a bit extra and have a decent picture. If I need another passport picture, I definitely come back to this place. read more

I had my graduation pictures taken here and I have nothing but great things to say about this establishment. Jeni is a great photographer and a super nice person on top of that. Jeni and Howard put me at ease right from the very beginning. We chatted the whole time and the photo session went by without a hitch. Jeni took the time to make everything look great including sewing my sash to my graduation gown. Jeni also took "fun" pictures outside and even with the rain and bad lighting, she made it look amazing. As an added bonus, they retouch the photos!!! Bye bye to dark undereye circles. Bottom line, amazing photos and great people who capture it. read more

I'm so happy I found this studio - somewhat by chance actually - when I needed to take Canadian passport photos. I was able to make an appointment for the same day at my lunch time. 10 minutes later I had professionally taken passport photos that met all the Canadian passport requirements (quite a list actually!) The photographer is obviously a master of her craft and also extremely knowledgable about foreign passport requirements. Imagine what she could do if I was allowed to smile :) read more

High quality photos done by true professionals who really know how to bring out the best in their subjects. Excellent, timely and friendly service from staff who are at the top of their game. This was a no-brainer for me. Bonus points for Jeni's friendly demeanor and great sense of humour! Go to Grace. You won't regret it. read more

Wow. I am very impressed. After being given 24 hours notice about needing a professional headshot, I called Grace Photography in a tizzy. Jeni whisked me in the next morning, and an hour later I had a series of great photos to choose from. Jeni and her assistant helped me select one that was professional, confident, and upbeat. Then she did some photoshop magic, which was a self-esteem booster to be sure. The prices were reasonable and Jeni was very personable. The whole process, from start to finish, was a great experience. Apparently her studio is open M-F and so they can usually get people in right away. I will definitely go back and highly recommend her services to others. read more

LOVE my head shots! I needed a head shot in a pinch and was I was very fortunate to find Grace Image had availability. I hate, hate, hate, taking professional photos, so I was nervous to begin with. Judy has a creative but calm personality that just makes you comfortable. I actually found myself having a little fun by the end of the session. She turned my photo around in no time and it far exceeded my expectations. As an added bonus, she was kind enough to give me a couple of extra untouched photos for no charge. I will definitely refer my friends to her. read more

Can I tell you how much I hate having my picture taken? Well, it's a lot. I hate it a whole lot. I am launching a new website for my business so I need photos of me as well as the other folks on my team. We tried another photographer a few months back - nice guy, but awful results. After asking around we decided to give Jeni a try. I'm so glad she took our photos. Jeni made the process relatively quick (without feeling rushed) and painless. We looked like ourselves in the pics, but the best of ourselves. It was casual and almost fun. Plus her prices are SO reasonable!!! I cannot sing Jeni's praises highly enough. She should get at least 6 starts. read more

If you want a great photo the only place to go is Grace Image Photography. Jeni is excellent and she has a way of making one talk to the camera and getting the right expressions for the perfect photo. Freindly, nice staff and she even helps choose your photo - she is the professional and she has an eye like none other. I love my photo, would go back in a heart beat and send anyone I know that needs any kind of photo to her! read more

Incredible service! I was in need of business head shots in 24 hours. I read a few Yelp reviews, which were very positive and having spoken to Judy in the morning, who was super friendly, I was in the studio for noon the same day. Judy was great, she made me very comfortable and gave great direction. The photos that were produced were fantastic and I had them less than 3 hours after arriving for the shoot! Keep up the great work! read more

Overall: I was sent to Grace Image for my work's website photo. The staff was professional and patient with great service. Photo Shoot: I was treated like a model! Jenny was patient and professional. She helped me deliver the best of my photogenic side. After the shoot, we went back to the studio to pick the best of the best. I think I just fell in love with myself! Now I just can't wait for the release on the website! =) read more

I needed a head shot for my college alumni association. I had the option to either have a friend take a photo or get one professionally done. Since I don't have a picture on my LinkedIn profile, I decide it was a good investment to have a professional pic. I'm not photogenic, I always hate pictures of myself. Jenni was absolutely great to work with. I was very stiff at times and she reminded to breathe and smile. She got about 60 shots and she helped me pick out the perfect photo. She has a great eye. She easily described each pic into a specific category.....too stiff, too sexy, too happy or a perfect professional shot. I completely understood where she was coming from. I selected two shots that were very different styles (one professional, one happy with a "twinkle" in my eye) since it's good to have a variation. Jenni also did quick/light touch ups to remove the dark circles and bags under my eyes. She really freshened my face up. I highly recommend Grace Image. The entire process took about 40 mins so this is something you could easily and quickly get done during your lunch hour. When I get a passport photo, I'll definitely go to Grace too. read more

Jeni and Howard did a great job with my head shot for a website photo. I couldn't be happier with the result. My shoot was an outdoor shoot and both Jeni and Howard braved the frigid winds of SF to get me the perfect shot. I highly recommend Grace Image if you're a professional looking for a high quality photograph for your website or social media. For 2 pictures and almost 2 hours of their time, it was $250. Not Walgreens prices but worth every cent. read more

Grace Photography is great! I was a walk in and Grace was busy with other things but she was kind enough to immediately take care of me for my blue background picture. Highly recommend the service! read more

Amazingly fast and painless passport photos. Called earlier in the day to see a good time to come by, showed up, was the only person in the studio. Pics were taken within a minute and printed within 3. And under $20. Highly recommend! read more

I DO NOT recommend this place at all. Frankly, I'm shocked at the number of good reviews for this place. But I do tend to look at how many reviews people have done and if it's just 1 review and its 5 stars for the Co. it's most likely just their friend reviewing for them. I went here to take passport photos and the photographer was really rude. She was nice up until the photos were taken but afterwards when I needed to pay she was really impatient like I was wasting her time being there. The prices charged were pretty high and when I inquired about having taking a second picture because I didn't like the first I was told I had to pay full price again. It doesn't take that much effort and cost to snap another picture. Poor business etiquette in my opinion. I regret not just waiting for the weekend and going to my local place and rushing here to take the pictures. read more

Thank you yelpers for directing me to Grace Photography. I will throw another happy log on the fire. So here's my story... I work for a tech company that still believes in wearing blazers for corporate photographs. I had been putting this off for years despite the fact that my current photo was ugly and sweaty looking. I tend to put myself together nicely for work so I must have had a mental block on it or something. When I arrived Howard was there. I asked "where is Jeni" and he said she had an emergency. I hadn't met her before but still thought "who is this guy?" Have to say I really dug Howard. He made the whole experience fun... I was so tense as I hate having photos taken of me, but we had a good laugh about it and that made me feel much more comfortable. Howard was also very enthusiastic and focused on getting a great photo of me (which he did.) When I had some questions afterward he was very responsive. Just a fantastic guy to work with. Now my new photo is up on the directory and I am so relieved! First impression is everything and when my boss posted the org chart, my pretty professional picture was on there. Such an improvement! Only wish I had gone in sooner. Thank you Howard!!!! read more

had to take a headshot photo for work at the last minute (this even required buying a new blazer since i took the picture on a friday, when it's casual dress at the office!) luckily, grace image was able to schedule a same-day appointment for me and it's only a couple of blocks away... jeni is a magician! i absolutely hate taking pictures because i'm not one of those "photogenic" people, and she managed to put me at ease and make the process as painless as possible. she helped with my makeup (thank god, since i wear little more than tinted moisturizer - for the spf - blush, mascara and gloss) and her expertise as a former makeup artist definitely came through. she even took the time to groom my brows! then she selected the right angles and lighting and managed to make me relax and even smile such that the photos didn't come across as too stiff or posed. the best part was watching jeni work her magic on the computer - a little fading here, nip & tuck there...now i know what it's like to be airbrushed! incredibly professional and friendly at the same time - i'd love to return to her if i ever had a chance. she does weddings for anyone who's interested! read more

We have used Grace for employee head shot photos for the company I work for years and I must say that Jeni and Howard are THE BEST. They are always professional and really pleasant to work with. Plus, they have a way of putting my often very camera shy employees at ease during their shoots, its seriously amazing. People come down to the shoot with this scared look on their face, but when they leave they always have a smile. I cant even count how many times I have heard, "wow, that was painless." Or, "I cant believe my picture actually came out that well." Not to mention that the photos always come out perfect. I highly recommend Jeni : ) read more

I dropped in at 2.30pm looking to get a headshot for a website and they were able to schedule me for 4pm that same day. Jeni was professional and fun and it was a painless process with a great outcome. A great service at a fair price. read more

Awesome service, friendly and comfortable place where you can have a professional photo shoot. I recommend them for visa/pass photos because they care about the requirements, details and the quality. read more

I visited Grace to take my passport photo, and Judy was lovely and efficient. I ended up with a great photo, much better than I would have gotten at a CVS or otherwise. read more

If you want a professional, experienced and friendly photographer, you must go to Jeni! I worked with Jeni NUMEROUS times, and I must say that I couldn't have met a greater photographer! She is so great to her clients. She makes them feel at ease and is super friendly, yet she makes sure to keep the professional boundaries. Her prices are great, especially for the wonderful service, great outcomes of the photographs and because of her many years of experience. She does a great job with post-production work, as well. I recommend to EVERYONE, regardless of what types of photographs you want taken (corporate, wedding, personal, etc) to become a client at Grace Image Photography. I live across the country now, but you'd better believe that I will be flying Jeni to NC to take my wedding photographs.....many, many years down the road :) read more

I'm usually very picky about my pics and I hate to take non-candid portraits. I say this because I was very impressed by Jeni --- not just by her technical skills, but more importantly, by her ability to put me at ease with each shot; and I believe this made all the difference. I loved the quality, the price, efficiency, and professionalism that Jeni brought to the entire experience. I plan to have all of my photographs taken here from here on out. And believe me when I say this... I'm one tough customer!! read more

very professional. U.S. passport photos $18, Canada $25 - and they actually know about the peculiarities of Canadian specs.

High quality work, state-of-the-art studio. Great experience working with Kevyn on a headshot. Kevyn is professional as he is personable. Took ~40 pictures and narrowed down to 4 within 20 minutes. Turnaround for the final product was 1 day and was very reasonably priced. Definitely would recommend to friends with any photo needs. read more

Amazing service! I had an emergency passport photo issue and Grace helped me solve it. She went far and beyond to help me! I would highly recommend them!!! Will always use them for my photo stuff! Thanks again! read more

Jeni is a true artist. She really helped me get it together to take a very professional looking portrait for my law firm website. I would recommend Grace Photography to anyone. Jeni is truly talented and a very good at helping me find and express my professional style! read more

She's always taken really great photos of our agents very professional and afforadable!! Jeni is great!! I think we've been working with her for more than 7 years now!! read more

Jeni is an exceptionally talented photographer. She pairs a masterful command of the technical aspects of photography with the eye of an artist and the instincts of a photojournalist. Her sense of composition and use of light are sophisticated, warm, and nuanced with creative details. She captures not only the sights of the day, but more importantly the emotions. She takes time to get to know the couple, to understand what you want for your wedding, the ideas and nuances that make each couple unique, and she captures that in an artistic and professional manner. I would recommend her to any couple that is looking for a photographer who is better than even the best. read more

I was looking for a new corporate photograph to use on LinkedIn, Twitter, Intranet etc. It was the first time I've ever done a professional photo for this purpose, and Jeni and Howard were fantastic. I couldn't of have had better experience. They were friendly, patient, and made the whole experience fun! Even giving me loads of advice on what to wear (I brought 5 different colored shirts...!). They took my shots in a variety of outfits, and poses picking the best secret locations in san francisco, they came back with over 150 shots, and we culled it down to the top 15. The photos were all so amazing I ended up buying 4 of them! Amazingly, this was all turned around within 24 hours - really happy with the entire experience, and highly recommend Jeni to anyone looking for a corporate photo. read more

Jeni Rocked! I asked Jeni to shoot my wedding proposal on Pillar Point in Half Moon Bay. Her and I went back and forth via email so I could tell here where I was going to do it, what time, etc. and they made it happen. Like the secret service protecting the Prez, Jeni had another person assist her in staking out the spot incognito so my lady wouldnt know. Then they sprang into action- I went down on one knee and they caught it all on - so great! We felt like we were at Cannes with the Paparazzi filming us! After the proposal they ended up shooting us for another hour using Half Moon Bay as the back drop - so cool, my lady LOVED it. GUYS, if you are going to propose this is the way to do it. Thanks Jeni read more

I have gone to Grace Photo for a quality professional photo to be used on my media page, as well as the restoration and enlargement of photo of a recently deceased loved one that will be used at her service. I cannot convey the efficiency, professionalism and dedication that the owners operate with. read more
