Well-well-well... What can I say about Ears & Noses Photography and particularly Natalia?…read moreI can say many great things, but it would be non-fair, because my dog - Inot, can not talk.. But she is primary client for Natalia. Just look on photo of my dog she made! Everything is on her face! Inot says: "I'm proud to be Natalia's model!". Natalka is great photographer, with amazing attitude, who thinks out of the box, always trying something new. She really loves animals (yes! she proved it while she did tons of volunteering work for animal shelter), animals feels this and respond to her with love as well!

She was a lovely and wonderful cat but I just couldn't capture her beauty on my own so I emailed Josh. He showed up the next night and spent a couple of hours with us, calmly and patiently waiting for the right moments to shoot . The results were nothing short of glamorous and beautiful. Additionally he has shot my own dork, "Jarvis P. Weasley", whose photos have since propelled him to worldwide fame! ;) Josh is talented,wonderful, patient, caring and has a tremendous amout of zeal for what he does. I couldn't recommend him more!

My cats have never looked so beautiful as they do in the pictures Josh took of them! My boyfriend…read moreand I hired him tor a private session with our six fur kids in San Mateo. He gave us basic pointers of what to do beforehand (like close the doors where the cats can hide under the bed) and the day of the shoot he captured really spectacular pictures of all of them. His calm personality helped even the shy and uncooperative cats open up. The many phone pictures I have taken of my cats through the years just don't compare to the quality and individual personality he captures in the photos. They were all postcard worthy - and I'm not just saying that because I'm partial to my babies, which I of course am. Another really cool thing is that he volunteers and takes gorgeous pictures of cats in need of homes. He had actually met a couple of my cats in years prior to our photo shoot when one was in the shelter (SFACC) and one with a rescue (Wonder Cat Rescue) and he remembered them! I can't say enough good things. Hire a session with Josh for a fun birthday present for a pet-lover, to commemorate a special event like an adoption anniversary, or just because you want good pet pictures. It's indulgent and it's fun, and it's way more affordable than you might think.

I was worried he might have "catitude", not engage and sleep through his photo session! Marika arrived a little early, and was able to capture Scout during he afternoon social/happy hour! Scout was intrigued in all the amazing sounds Marika made to communicate and it was such fun to watch Scout show her around our yard! The video she made for us truly captured the essence of Scout-and the depth of his wisdom, kindness and compassion in his eyes, and his social comings and goings! It is so worthwhile to have your pet's life captured by a professional animal photographer. We are so happy we met Marika and had her capture Scout's story for us!

Until I first saw her work, "pet photography" always seemed just like nice photos of the family pet. Marika's pet photos show off the personality, the heart and soul and the individuality of the pet. It's amazing, I find that I love the pet even more after seeing them idealized in print! And, especially if you have an older pet, consider that Marika's photos will give you a memory of that loved one that you will always treasure.

Jennifer was SO friendly and knew how to work with our dog, Otus to get the best photos. She was also mindful of the treats she brought to entice our pup with for the session, mentioning that she liked single ingredient treats as to not upset dog stomaches. What was more impressive was the turn around time in which she delivered our full gallery: within the week that we had the session! We're so excited to show off these photos and use them for our Holiday cards this year!

She has an incredible eye for composition and lighting and was extremely patient! We were very satisfied with the experience and final pictures! Really cannot recommend her enough :)

Leaha was able to come to my home and takes photos of both my dogs and all of us together. She was very good with my dogs; they took to her right away. The online gallery was easy to use, and it was hard for me to just buy 2 item there was so many great choices, and I had 10 digital images to pick from! My canvas arrived in a really nice box by mail. I take a lot of photos of my dogs but the digital photos that I received from Beast Friends Photography were well beyond any edited photo I could take on my phone. This was way worth the money and I have a lovely piece of art as a remembrance of my fur babies I can will cherish long after they both are gone.

She is super patient with our little Molly who has decided that the camera is obviously going to murder her and books it to the door every chance she gets. We will continue to bring our pets to get their pictures with Leaha and hopefully miss Molly will get more comfortable with it eventually. I highly recommend her for any pet parents that want some truly exceptional pictures of their for babies

Joanna Monger was recommended to us by our venue's owner, Sharon. Upon viewing her portfolio, I was…read moremesmerized by the authenticity that was captured in her photography; they featured genuine, beautiful moments. They looked like lovely pictures of real, happy people - not overly-processed and cinematic. This is exactly the type of style I wanted for our micro-wedding. I generally dislike having my photo taken, and I'm notorious among my friends and family for refusing to be photographed during events. In spite of that, naturally I expected to endure many pictures on my wedding day. Even with my reservations, it all passed so quickly and easily! No feelings of overwhelm, exhaustion, frustration, or impatience. To begin with, we had a Zoom call to serve as our introduction. My distaste for being seen digitally extends to video chats, but Joanna immediately helped put me at ease. She is an expert in her field and specializes in people who are less comfortable with having their photo taken. She offered logistical support in planning our day, as well as the emotional support that comes with having an ally who can understand your position and work with you. She is so kind and personable, which is perfect for those of us who are a little more on the timid side. In terms of the day of, she was already at the venue well before the rest of us arrived. In between taking some get-ready shots, she even helped my family member get into a very tight-fitting dress. I genuinely don't know if we could have wrangled that zipper up without Joanna's help! After that, she gave a brief lesson to my person-of-honor, showing how to properly fluff out my dress's long train behind me. Additionally, I noticed she was skilled with remembering the names of our close family and wedding-party members. Joanna is so organized and swift with her camera. Despite beginning our ceremony a little later than scheduled, she managed to shoot every photo we wanted within our tight timeframe of just two hours - with a few minutes to spare, too! She's also great at giving clear direction to help improve positioning and posing. And it all flew by so fast. She had our photos ready with astonishing speed (just one week later!), and they were just as wonderful as I had hoped! These are exactly what I wished our wedding pictures would look like. I'm so happy with the variety of different shots Joanna managed to capture, and I'm in disbelief of how well they turned out. I couldn't be happier with the service she provided to us on our special day. I would highly recommend her to anybody, but especially to others who might be less confident in front of the camera.

She puts…read moreyou right at ease with her humorous and kind personality, and knows exactly where to place you for the best photo. In our first meeting, she asked about areas of my body I didn't like so she could angle me appropriately and avoid the usual awkward pics. I did a Boudoir photo shoot with her for my husband's wedding gift and she captured all the best of me while still making feel beautiful in my own skin. Our wedding was such an amazing day and Joanna made a schedule to keep us on track and got EVERY photo we asked for. Choosing our pictures for the final printed album was a breeze and well worth the wait! I cannot recommend her enough! I am forever grateful for finding her on Google and taking a meeting with her! I knew within the first 15 minutes that she would take wonderful care of me and my husband on our day! Thank you Joanna!
