She had just had a major surgery to remove tumors from…read moreher ear canals and as a result lost her ears, developed vertigo and contracted rapid eye movements so she shook, wobbled and fell. 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.

Marika captured the personality, the heart and soul and the individuality of our cat, Scout!…read moreWhile Scout is a busy cat, he does like to sleep! 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.

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..

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 very professional, friendly, and really dedicated to getting the shots we wanted. She came up with some great ideas for pictures that we never would have thought without her.

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.

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.
