    Loved working with Xoung! He was so much fun! My whole wedding party & guest loved him . I would definitely recommend using Happy Photos for any event , he will capture your special moments'

    Mr & Mrs Murillo

    Where do i start!! My husband and i got married in 2021, and even though it was a small intimate wedding ! he got all the perfect pictures and even down to the smallest details . We were so happy with the outcome of the pictures taken and he was so sweet and helpful as we didn't know how to pose or anything but he made us feel so comfortable and gave his opinion on which pics were good so we could make an acccurate decision in choosing the perfect picture ahha Book them and i promise you won't regret !!!!

    Engagement photos - beach setting.

    We booked Happy Photos for our wedding and recently did our engagement photoshoot with Xuong at Little Corona Beach. Having such an incredible experience with Xuong, I couldn't wait to make this review: To share a little bit about myself, I am a very shy, introverted person who tends to be very awkward in front of a camera. When our engagement photoshoot was coming up, I was extremely nervous. So on the day of, I expressed my concerns and Xuong handled it so professionally! He was incredible! Not only did he show us how to pose, but he made me feel so comfortable. He kept making us laugh, he did his best to make sure we were having fun, and continuously asked how we felt with the poses. He was so easy to work with, and my fiancé and I fell in love with the results (Posted a couple of our photos). I can't wait to work with Happy Photos again for our wedding!

    Xuong (Song) did great work for our family photos. Several poses, This is just a sample. We'd definitely use him again.

    Song was such a good photographer for my prom photos very helpful and professional and he was very flexible and was willing to work with my schedule. I felt very cared for when taking the pictures and he was so innovated with ideas and poses than I can come up with for sure. He took some awesome photos and definitely would recommend him to anybody big or small he has a lot of experience and you can see it though the work he provides that he puts his heart and soul into it.

    Xoung at Happy Photos is exceptional! We hired him as the photographer for our engagement photos and our wedding photos. He did an amazing job at capturing what was important to us! We got our album and it is so beautiful! Memories we are do grateful to have. Thank you so much for everything Happy Photos! We definitely plan to use you again soon now that we have a little one on the way!

    I love Happy Photos! I'm happy I've discovered them because they will be my go to photographers from now. I needed some professional photos for my real estate business & wow the pictures came out great! I love how he would guide me on posing something a lot of other photographers won't do. But he had me do some awkward feeling poses (lol) that made my body look stunning on camera. This man knows what he is doing for sure! I mean it was hard to pick a picture because every last one came out great! I've never had soo many great photos to choose from! Thank you so much happy photos we will be shooting again in the near future

    The day we said "I do"!

    My husband and I absolutely love our wedding photos! Xuong is a talented photographer and instructed us on how to pose. We love how each picture captures the beautiful memories we will cherish forever. I highly recommend this photo company.

    Getting married during the pandemic was something that I never even imagined, however it was still a magical day. Happy photos did an amazing job capturing the moment of our special day and made it really fun. The images that were taken were beyond anything I expected and I was very pleased with the experience. We were able to get a book made with the photos showing how the day progressed which is something that will help us relive that special day anytime we need a little reminder. I recommend happy photos to anyone looking for someone to capture any life changing event.

    We hired Nguyet to do both our birth photography (her coming to the hospital during my labor and…read moredelivery) and newborn photos (2 weeks after birth) and let me tell you she did an incredible job with both shoots. Let me first start with our birth photos. I am not the nicest person when I'm uncomfortable and I was worried that I would offend her or something awful would come out of my mouth during labor. She was so gosh darn nice about everything and so considerate, I honestly didn't realize she was there most of the time. She was really a stealthy shooter because some of the shots I had no idea when or how she took them. Nguyet always asked the nurses or doctors if it was okay to take photos before starting. I wound up having a c-section, but I was pretty much drugged up where I really forgot everything that happened. Then a few days or maybe a week later, nguyet sends us our pics, and I was floored. It was like I experienced all of the beautiful parts of labor and birth again but without all of the pain!! Her documentation was beautiful, as awful as I felt, and she really captured the hard, raw emotions going on in the birthing room. Also while going through the pictures, my husband was able to recall many of his emotions step by step, which was nice to hear and bond. On to our newborn photos, she documented them in our own home. She was delicate, and sure about handling our first born (being an awesome mom herself!). She even brought a cute outfit for him and had a few ideas that she wanted to capture!! They turned out beautiful again and I owe much to her patience and kindness during this whole process.

Kathleen's assistant Adriana was very helpful in getting us into the studio within a couple of days from the time I contacted them. Her packages and pricing are very fair compared to other studios I had contacted. We decided to do the "Classic" package which allows for both newborn photos and family photos. The booking experience was very straightforward. She provides clear instructions for the process on the photography day. The whole experience on the day of the photos went very smoothly and she was very good at handling baby and making sure he was asleep for the pictures. She also took advantage of his awake moments and captured some really cute awake photos as well. She has a separate room for the newborn photos and a separate room for family photos which I appreciated so that the newborn room always stays clean (she doesn't allow shoes there either) and baby has a quiet/calm space for the photos. Overall great experience with Kathleen!

We stopped by on a weekday in the late afternoon and practically had the place to ourselves. Another family arrived shortly after, but it was still very relaxed and easygoing. The process was super simple. You can make a reservation, but we just walked in without any issues. We did the white background setup for 15 minutes, which was perfect and definitely a must if you're taking photos with little kids. There were a few technical difficulties during our session, but the staff member was incredibly accommodating. He paused the timer and gave us those minutes back so we didn't lose any of our shoot time. The pricing is great too! The package includes 2 people and 3 printed 4x6 photos of your favorite shots. Additional people are only $5 each, but they didn't charge us for our toddler or newborn, which was such a nice surprise. One of the best parts is that you get access to download every single digital photo from your session, not just a select few. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and ended up with so many great family photos. definitely considering coming back for another shoot
