If you're looking for headshots, look no further…read more Affordable, friendly, fast, and professional. I was looking for an affordable photographer to help me get my headshot situation squared away for work. I looked at other places and it was double/triple what Alan charged. I'm starting out in my career so that was greatly appreciated. Location: Alan is able to pass on affordability because he has an at-home studio. His set-up is professional and he offers different scenic backdrops if needed. Payment: I think cash is king for small businesses. I was able to book an appointment and get photos taken in under 2 days. Everything was ready to go when I got there.

I am so thankful to have these moments to look back on. What I especially appreciated was that Tiffany captured pretty much all the guests in some form, but she definitely focused on our family for extra moments. Through experience, I can say that you don't always get both. I highly recommend Tiff for both day in the life and candid portraits.

I wanted make a calendar full of childhood re-creation photos, and it wouldn't have turned out as awesome if I had gone to any other photographer. Tiffany helped us with replicating the exact angles, helped us find really similar locations, and gave great direction in terms of posing smiling, finding the light (etc etc). When we couldn't find a location that would work, she put in the extra effort to photoshop us into a picture that was taken over 20 years ago! Besides the fact that her photos always look fantastic, Tiffany is just a pleasure to work with. Would recommend her a thousand times over :)

The hair and makeup artist was able to follow my vague instructions and helped customized my overall look, including jewelry choices. She also stayed throughout the shoot for touch-ups, and even helped with posing. Sam's knows what angles to shoot and which lighting works. He guided us through the poses and was able to wrap up our shoot earlier than estimated even though I usually find myself very awkward in front of the camera. I also appreciated that they provide all of the digital files, including the 500+ raw ones. When I wasn't a fan of the initial editing style, Sam was very receptive to my feedback and revised the photos quickly. The reason for 4 stars is the communication. During the consultation, I was hoping for more guidance on ideas since I didn't have a clear vision. I was just shown his portfolio on his tablet and quietly scrolled in front of him. After the shoot, I had to follow up for updates on my raw and edited photos. Only after I reached out first did he respond immediately.

They edited it so beautifully and really captured the love and happiness from that day. The video is something that we will truly cherish for the rest of our lives. We would highly recommend them!

Two years apart, and both sessions were equally beautiful, fun, and everything I could have hoped for. What sets Janice apart isn't just her incredible eye for a photo - it's how genuinely present and thoughtful she is with my whole family. She was extremely patient and gentle with my newborn, and made my two year old feel completely at ease by leaning right into all the toys she kept eagerly showing off. Watching that connection unfold was honestly one of my favorite parts of the session. She even welcomed our two dogs without missing a beat! Having everything done in the comfort of my own home made it that much more special, personal, and stress-free. We absolutely loved having these milestone moments captured in our own space, surrounded by all the things that make our family ours. If you're looking for someone to document this fleeting, irreplaceable season of life with care, artistry, and a whole lot of heart, look no further than Chasing Hiromi. These are photos I will cherish forever. Thank you, Janice :)

I researched photographers on Yelp and, as soon as I saw Janice's work, I knew she was the right person for the job. And she definitely was the best! Janice was super easy to communicate with. On the day of the event, she arrived early, was friendly and cheerful, gave everyone good instructions for each shot, making the whole experience comfortable and fun, even for people like us who are usually awkward in front of the camera. When Janice delivered her work, every photo was sharp, beautiful, natural, and captured our joy and emotions -- truly outstanding. I couldn't be happier with Janice's work, and will enthusiastically recommend her to anyone looking for a great photographer!

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.

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.
