    After several disappointing experiences with photographers and a few failed selfie attempts, I was thrilled to discover Pacifica Studio online. Their website immediately stood out--clean, professional, and filled with impressive examples of their work. Booking an appointment was easy, and the studio's location near my workplace in Santa Clara was a huge bonus. I chose the "A Few Good Shots Headshot Package" and was fortunate to work with Kate, who is truly exceptional. I brought in examples of headshots I liked (and didn't like), and she immediately understood what I was going for. Kate has a fantastic eye for detail and guided me through the session with confidence and clarity. She made the entire experience comfortable and even enjoyable--something I never thought I'd say about getting headshots! The final results exceeded my expectations. I now have professional, polished headshots that I'm proud to use. I highly recommend Pacifica Studio to anyone looking for high-quality, personalized photography--whether you're a professional updating your LinkedIn profile, an executive needing polished corporate shots, or someone who just wants to look their best in front of the camera. Kate and the team are the real deal!

    I had an amazing experience working with Kate for my graduation headshots! The entire process was super comfortable and seamless from booking to the actual shoot and delivery of the images. The turnaround time was super quick and I was really happy with my photos! Kate is super friendly and talented! If you are looking for a professional and personable photographer and a great experience, I cannot recommend Pacifica studio and Kate enough!

    Kate's image for me.

    Kate worked magic. She gave me exactly what I needed, a professional head shot, in only twenty minutes, for an excellent price. I can't recommend her highly enough. I drove an hour to get to her studio, and the value I received was well worth the trip.

    I reached out to Pacifica Studio about taking photographs of my mother's paintings for portfolio purposes / to use for prints. It's been difficult finding studios in the area that have this type of experience since a lot of studios are more geared toward portraiture etc. but Kate at Pacifica Studio was so careful and professional about documenting the work. Photographing flat artwork is difficult since it requires getting the lighting to be perfectly even and making sure the camera angle is perfectly parallel to the artwork to minimize warping as much as possible. She took her time to get all the lighting/color grading correct and always double-checked with me that she was capturing the details of the work correctly. After receiving the retouched photos I was so satisfied and grateful for the extra care and prep she took since the photos look amazing and are so high res. I'm so happy I found her and that I'm able to properly document/archive this work (especially if they get sold in the future).

They don't return voice mail and they don't return emails. I hate that our league uses these people. Not only are they non responsive and slow at getting you your pics... they are rude to the kids and parents on picture day. Hope our league finds a better place.

I went to Kohl in mid-July to take my senior portraits. He took the photos fairly quickly, and then set up an appointment with me to look at what pictures I wanted. On the date of the meeting, I showed up but he told me my pictures weren't ready to look at. However, the process of looking at the pictures doesn't take any effort on his part besides deleting ones he doesn't like ((they don't go through any editing before you see them)) Since this was on his part, he gave me 8 free wallets. The second time we made an appointment, he called and cancelled again stating that the pictures weren't ready yet again. ((Keep in mind it's been about two and a half weeks since I've taken the photos)) Fast forward, and I've looked at the photos and ordered them. He told me that it would take approximately 3-4 weeks before the photos would be ready, and I was satisfied as that was a decent amount of time. Now, however, it's been 7 weeks and I still haven't gotten my photos. The only thing Kohl is good at is taking your money; go somewhere else and save!

    I'm truly delighted to share my experience working with Sandy! Her communication was wonderful from…read morethe very beginning, from arranging the appointment and customizing the scene setup to sending the photos. Everything went so smoothly. I am really impressed by her talent with infants and children; she was fantastic with my newborn and my 2-year-old. Her ability to craft stunning scenes is also incredible. And when it comes to her photography and editing skills, they are truly outstanding--just look at the edited photos, they're absolutely stunning! You won't be disappointed with Clairbare Studios and Sandy's gift for capturing beautiful, lasting memories of your little ones.

    Sandy is truly one of the most skilled newborn/family photographers in the bay area! I was lucky to…read morefind Sandy 4 years ago with my first born and the newborn photos ended up being incredible! It was an easy decision to go back to her with our second baby. Here are some of the ways that Sandy truly stood out: - Both our babies were born around Christmas holiday and scheduling was not an issue at all for Sandy. She checked in ahead of the appointment to ensure we didn't need to reschedule (much needed for parents that just gave birth recently) and had our themes ready prior to us arriving. - The themes were 10/10, better than what we could've envisioned ourselves. And our themes were generic such as lemon or Christmas. - The amount of patience Sandy has is seriously amazing! Our second baby was a bit harder to photograph compared to the first, in addition to a toddler who wasn't in the mood for pictures, and it didn't phase Sandy at all. She took her time to make sure she was able to capture each theme well and had tips up her sleeve to get the toddler to take some pictures. I highly recommend going with Sandy if you're considering photo sessions! She goes above and beyond to ensure all the special moments are captured and the pictures are so incredibly worth it.

He was responsive, easy/straightforward to work with, made us feel comfortable during the shoot and was very personable. I really appreciate his easy going personality and he made us feel comfortable during photos and gave us really good poses/pointers. I loved that he would show us little snippets during the shoot to show us how the photos were turning out as well. He was so kind, friendly, professional and all the great things you want in a photographer capturing your special moments. I believe he finalized edits and sends within 3-4 weeks and I can't wait to see. Bonus was that he sent over more than 10 sneak-peaks within 24 hours!!! This was so awesome and we were able to use right away to announce our marriage. All in all, so impressed with Justin. He's a gem and I'm looking forward to continue using him for our future shoots!!

My husband greatly appreciated Justin's recommendations for photo ideas. For our wedding, Justin and his second photographer were nothing short of amazing. Justin was able to use the venues spaces very creatively and effectively--I was very impressed with Justin's ability to stage us and our family and wedding party without having seen the venues before. The photos made me appreciate the venues in ways I had not thought of. Justin was able to turn around two photographers' and 10 hours worth of photos in 2 weeks. We were very impressed! Justin has a way of making people feel comfortable. That was true of my husband and me, as well as our wedding parties and families. The end result was amazing photos that we love, and our friends and family have told us look great. We are so happy we got to work with Justin and his team!
