This review is really long overdue. Simply put, Kevin and his team were amazing. I was in the…read moreprocess of launching my practice and needed to have updated linkedin photos done. I browsed the portfolios of all the professional photographers in the area on yelp, and I liked Kevin's stylistic approach the best. I work in the alternative energy industry, I wanted my portraits to look modern yet professional. Most of the other photographers specialize in corporate photos in the Pasadena area have an more old fashioned sense of aesthetics. When I called Kevin, he was fast to understand my needs, he asked a lot of good questions to pinpoint what I'm after and on top of that he gave a very reasonable hourly rate quote! By the time I showed up in his studio, the white backdrop and lighting were already set up and ready to go! We wasted no time at all! I showed a few photos on pinterest and kevin coached me to pose with the appropriate posture and body language with ease! Everyone in the studio was friendly and helpful through the process. Within the 1.5 hours I was there, Kevin and his team were highly efficient and effective. We were able to fit in 2 outfit changes and shoot both indoor and outdoor photos all within one session. To make sure we got all the photos we needed and I would be happy with the final outcome, Kevin showed the photos real time on his large monitor as we were taking them indoors and on the camera screen when we shot outdoors. I discovered that Kevin and his team even went the distance to shoot test shots of his assistants in the "Linkedin" backdrop prior to my arrival so that I could maximize the utilization of time in studio. The turn-around for delivery was both very smooth and fast. Within 24 hours Kevin delivered retouched versions of the indoor photos we agreed on, and the rest of the outdoor photos followed the next day. I would heartily recommend Kevin and his team to friends and colleagues any time.

Let me start off my saying that I hate being photographed. I enjoy public speaking but put me in…read morefront of a camera and I get stage fright. I'd rather sit through having my blood drawn by a technician with hand tremors than sit trough a photo shoot. Unfortunately I need to have photos taken from time to time. But because I teach fun workshops with cute titles, like Flirting For Nerds, my events routinely attract local papers, magazines and blogs. So two or three times a year (perennially busy) freelance photographers are hired by papers to take photos to go along with their news stories. It feels like a whirlwind of flashbulbs, confusing directions and my own worries about by hair being out of place, bra strap showing or giving a drivers license worthy mug. It's a 50/50 chance a good pic gets published. Last year a friend of mine recommended having head shots taken to cut down on future anxiety inducing publicity photos. She also recommended photographer Kyle Weaver, and I am very grateful that she did. I contacted Kyle via his website and got a quick response. I told him I had no idea what to do in front of the camera and preemptively apologized for my nerves. While my nervousness about having my photo taken wasn't magically cured, I have to say I never thought a photo shoot could be a fun and even relaxed event. I didn't have to go to an empty photo studio, Kyle came to one of the venues I present my workshops at, putting me in my comfort zone. I was relieved as soon as we shook hands. Kyle was friendly and easy going from the get go. We chatted about my workshops, the types of groups I present to and that I like to keep my look professional but approachable and joke around a fair amount when I present to groups. Before I knew it I was surrounded by a large umbrella like light a reflector and Kyle with his camera aimed at me casually taking test shots while we continued to talk. I can't tell you how pleased I was with the experience and the resulting photos. Kyle listened to my suggestions for posing and was patient enough to let me know if I was holding my arms in an awkward way or needed to relax my smile (two things I have a hard time noticing on my own). He carefully and confidently took photos from different angles, not shooting like a machine gun (like so many previous photographers I shot with did) in attempt to catch at least one good photo out of dozens. And the photographs that Kyle produced? They were beautiful! They made me feel beautiful. I marveled at how flattering the photos were and how his skill in arranging lighting just so made all the difference. Yes, Kyle is a photographer, but in my opinion he's an artist. Now I have photos that I'm proud to have accompany articles and am also quite tickled by how many compliments I've received on the pics. I'll try and upload my head shots to yelp. If you don't see them feel free to message me and I'll send you a link so you can see for yourself. Later this year when I need additional photos hiring Kyle again is a no brainer. I'd recommend his services to anyone!

He responded quickly and was very excited to be a part of the project. We had him take portraits of children in elementary schools that qualified for free glasses through our program.

Kyle is very kind and flexible, making it an absolute pleasure to work with. Overall, we at CharityVision International are very impressed with Kyle and his talent. We would definitely hire him again for future projects.

I hadn't planned to have a photographer the day I was planning to propose. The plan was to take my now wife to Newport Beach early in the morning to propose as the sun rose. I figured it would be so early in the morning no photographer would be willing to get up that early. I was pleasantly surprised when James told me he would be honored to capture the early morning proposal. I was excited and nervous that day. James texted me at 5:00 am, I was already up and hadn't slept all night in anticipation of the big day. James let me know he was on his was on his way, texted me when he got to Newport Beach and was able to position himself where my wife couldn't see him but he could photograph us. It was absolutely magical, I played the guitar, got on one knee, overwhelmed with emotion, I asked she said yes. James captured the whole thing and when my wife said yes he came out of hiding and we began our photoshoot. The photos were amazing and his delivery time to get us what he captured was perfect. We booked him for our wedding 4 months later and the wedding pictures captured so much that my wife and I cherish each time we go over the pictures.
