We came to this studio for a family photoshoot and a birthday solo session. Our photographer was…read morefantastic, communicative, guiding us through poses, and well-prepared with tools to keep both our baby and dog engaged with the camera. BUT the administrative side and studio reliability are major issues. We actually should have seen the red flags on our very first visit when we came to book our appointment. No one was inside the studio, and another family was waiting outside. We let it go at the time, but the exact same thing happened at pickup. Since I had my baby with me and wanted to avoid driving over only to wait around, I called in advance to confirm someone was there and explicitly stated I was on my way. Yet when we arrived, the studio was locked and empty. We ended up waiting for quiet awhile for someone to show up. If staff needed to step out, basic courtesy and sound business practice dictate that you inform the customer on the phone. To top it off, no itemized receipt was provided. While the photographer did a wonderful job, the repeated unreliability and lack of consideration for customers' time mean we'll probably just go somewhere else next time.

She also managed to edit all the pictures they selected for their package. I was particularly impressed with the suggestions she offered my daughter prior to the photoshoot, which undoubtedly contributed to keeping my granddaughter at ease. I admired the wide array of clothing options, accessories, backgrounds, and props she provided. She truly possessed a remarkable talent with infants, skillfully changing their attire and repositioning them even while the baby was asleep. I am grateful that she permitted us to capture videos and photos during the session. I will share the pictures once my daughter has had the opportunity to distribute them to our family and friends. I wouldn't want to spoil her surprise.

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.

From start to finish, the entire experience was smooth, comfortable, and enjoyable. Dave has a great eye for lighting, composition, and detail, but what impressed me most was his ability to make the session feel natural and relaxed. 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. A truly first class experience from beginning to end. Five stars!

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 :)

On top of that, she even snuck my husband and me away for a few private photos, which I didn't expect but absolutely loved. Janice was wonderful at directing us without making anything feel stiff or awkward. She made the whole session feel easy and fun, and the kids stayed engaged the entire time (a small miracle). The photos turned out beautifully, and we genuinely enjoyed the process. Also, the turnaround time for delivery of photos was even faster than she estimated. We can't wait to work with her again and would recommend her to any family looking for someone patient, talented, and great with kids (and pets!).

It began with a virtual consultation with Nadine and Sofia to go over the details of the photoshoot and next steps. Since I am pregnant and also have two boys, I wanted the photoshoot to be special by capturing our growing family. We decided on a maternity and family holiday photoshoot, which included variety of backgrounds and outfits. The next step was scheduling a in-person fitting prior yo the shoot to try on a few dresses. Sofia put together a styling sheet and provided suggestions on what to wear for my family to coordinate nicely. Sofia also provided a timeline on the day of the shoot, which was very helpful. As a busy pregnant working mom, the best thing about this entire experience was getting professional hair and makeup done at the studio! Shoutout to artist Veronica for making me feel and look my best. I have done two sunrise family photoshoots in the past, and I absolutely do not have the energy, time, or desire to get ready on my own. I also had a maternity in-studio photoshoot done last year, I had to go get makeup and hair done in two different places, then drive an hour, which by then my curls were no longer holding. Not at Sachiko Studios, they will take care of you from beginning to end, and you will feel fresh. After getting hair and makeup done, we did a quick maternity photoshoot session. My family met us at the studio and we did the holiday photoshoot. The in-studio photos of our family portraits turned out lovely. For outdoor shoot, we drove to Bradbury's Bridge, which was about 15 min away. I loved the fall and natural backdrops. Having the option of doing an outdoor photoshoot was great because it captured our active kids candidly. Nadine was so great with my kids! She was able to capture my youngest looking happy and all smiles. She rewarded my oldest for being good at following directions.

We did 3 outfit changes, Nadine shot some of my products, and action shots with a model. Nadine made the whole experience very comfortable and fun for someone who is *really* shy and prefers to stay behind the camera.

Here's some inside info that applies to all JCP Portraits:…read more Once u get here prepared to be rushed, upsold to, and 9/10, working with an inexperienced photographer no matter what time of year. Once in the camera room... PRAY the photographer is good with posing. And kids? You have a 50/50 chance the photographer has the patience and skill to work with them. This company prioritizes people who will comply over skill. They hire young people who have never used a camera, as long as they can pretend to know what they're doing. Prepare to feel rushed. Especially during their cash grab "events", weekends, and holiday seasons. They have a 15 min time limit no matter what age, disability, or group size...unless u pay a fee for more time. Thats on top of $15 per person. And of course, not an option during Xmas season, their busiest time of year. EXPERT ADVICE!! if u chose to gamble your money on Xmas photos here: request the manager take ur pics and go in early November for best results. The company trains you not to care about the customer's budget. Just try to ask them about pricing or coupons before the session lol they train to never talk about prices until after the photos are done. And they can NEVER offer the customer coupons. Workers are there to upsell u at all costs. But Don't worry they make $5 commission on the almost $400 package. Another tip: check out their GROUPON OFFERS haha they hate those bc they're harder to upsell you on they're genuinely good deals. This company doesn't care about their own workers, let alone your family's memories. They constantly overbook during their Xmas season and it makes everyone, including the customer, stressed out. Please consider taking your business elsewhere. The world would be a better place without companies like this existing. No one benefits but the corporate overlords. Eat a "stick".

This was the first time I had an awful experience with the photographer. She provided no direction in the beginning n once I told to her that usually the photographers tell us how to pose. She then gave very little direction after and I tried to make the best of it. Once I saw the photos I was heartbroken to see almost every picture my son his hair covering his eyes or it looked off or one person wasn't smiling. I have never been so unhappy with pictures!!! Usually I pick out so many pictures and have always loved coming here!!! Once I complained about it the manager said she can do another session but I would need to pay another fee!!!! They were over an hour late and I didn't like any of the pictures!!!! That is completely wrong!!!! I was so upset I picked only 2 pictures ( out of 28!!!!!) even tho I prepaid for 3 and wanted to cry but just tried to hurry up and leave!!!! Literally cried in my car and we will never be returning to this location again!!!!!!
