I have had two shoots…read morewith Raymond and Charlie now, the first with my senior pup Daisy, who passed shortly after our shoot, and the more recent with my two large pups, one of whom is intensely reactive towards other dogs. As such, Raymond and Charlie have seen me experience an unusually wide range of emotions within the short amount of time we've spent together, and they have been nothing short of fantastic throughout both experiences. The photos of your pets will come out beyond match. I couldn't recommend more highly!

I'm already using one of the photos as my profile picture. These guys are so talented! We scheduled…read morea photoshoot for our first ever dog Ginger, our little Shih Tzu, on her 1st birthday since we wanted it to be special. They worked with our little girl Ginger with such finesse. They really work hard to get good shots. Ginger is a very shy dog so the first part of our shoot was them just trying to let her open up by playing with her and giving her treats. She definitely opened up after a while that's why she got the oh so beloved tennis ball shot! My husband and I are not the best models either and we wanted to be in the photos. They taught us some poses to look decent in the pictures. They really work with you and your preferences--they make sure you absolutely love the prints and the photos you end up with. We had an incident where one of the prints had smudged ink which was very minimal--, but they went above and beyond to literally drive to our home to switch out the framed prints just to make sure we have them perfect! We loved how every framed print turned out. Was definitely a pleasure to work with them. Thank you!!!!

For Leo and Kumo's August birthdays, we chose family photos as a way to hold on to what we can never truly keep: time. Thank you, Melissa from Be Here Now Photography, for capturing what words can't express. These photos freeze the fleeting moments of our pups and babies growing up together, a bittersweet reminder that their lives are short, but their love lasts forever. Melissa made everything so easy and was incredibly patient, even with two toddlers and four dogs! If you're looking for someone who can beautifully capture your pets and family, highly recommend Be Here Now Photography.

It all started one day when my friends and I were doing a wall for the OCSPCA and I believe I just…read morelost my precious Willow Tree and I remembering looking at the booths and seeing Melissa's and another one for special Urns, next to hers. I took both cards, not ready to face what I was still grieving. I stashed them away in a box and then a few years ago I was finally ready to do a tribute and memorial for Willow. I remembered clearly Be Here Now and I remembered how beautifully she photographed and what her purpose was behind what she did. It was a day in October that one of her events popped up on my Facebook. I wasn't able to attend however I asked if she could do a session for me and Briley and a memory of Willow too and if she had any special packages like that. She gave me some packages and let me choose. She beautifully and so kindly helped me through what was all these memories I had kept and narrowed them down into what her ideas were with what mine were. I am creative, but she is BEYOND creative and take every moment from the first email, the prepping, the photo session and then the review of your photos with such LOVE and PASSION! We both know the pain of losing an animal either too soon or when it was their time, and understand that each day is a BLESSING from above and to take each moment, live in it with JOY, PURPOSE and LOVE! Every day is a new day and we cant go back in time... Embrace the good and bad and keep on, keeping on, in memory of those that we have lost (animal or human). She is so patient, fun loving and an AHHMAZZING Photographer. She captures the moment and just knows how to do it naturally. That's when you know you found a PHOTGRAPHER FOR LIFE! I know and she knows, but fr all that don't know her personally like I do, THIS IS HER HEART AND SOUL and HER PURPOSE in life! You will NOT be disappointed. I will attach the photos I chose, I am sure there were 1000 more Treasured moments that she had captured. And a side note, Javier is GREAT TOO!!!! We love you guys!! XOXO Renee and Briley and Willow

Archie absolutely loves Puppy Island Daycare! He's a very social husky, and this has become one of…read morehis favorite places in the world. Every time we turn onto the street, he starts whining and crying with excitement because he knows exactly where he's going. By the time we park, he's practically ready to jump out of the car. Once we're inside, he doesn't hesitate for a second. He runs straight to the staff with his tail wagging, excited to see everyone and eager to get back to playing with his friends. Watching him be that happy gives me complete confidence that he's being cared for by people who truly love what they do. The team has created such a welcoming, fun, and safe environment. Archie always comes home happy, well-exercised, and ready for a long nap after a full day of play. If you're looking for a daycare where your dog will genuinely look forward to every visit, I highly recommend Puppy Island Care & Spa. Seeing Archie so excited every time we go is the best endorsement I could ever give.

I wish I could put into words how amazing Alicia is. Over the years, I have done a handful of…read moreshoots with her, and every one has been an amazing experience. Most recently, she did a shoot for my 12 year old pittie and my two belgian malinois. I traveled from the San Francisco Bay Area just to be able to work with her again. She did an incredible job capturing some beautiful memories of my older girl, and some shots of my whole pack. I couldn't be happier with the photos, and I can't wait to have some prints made for my home! Alicia's talent is beyond compare, and I am so blessed to have had the chance to work with her again! Thank you so much Alicia for everything you have done for me and my pack!!!

My husband and I got Alicia's engagement/holiday family session which was supposed to be a 30…read moreminute session as a family. We was absolutely amazing with our two dogs, 1 male Havanese who is 5 years old named Mac and a female havanese-poodle mix, Maizie. They are both pretty good with me and my husband when off leash in a busy area but they are pretty against paparazzi and usually we can barely get a good photo of them on our own. Alicia was awesome she picked out this great park in Santa Monica and even though we were 15 minutes late due to traffic coming up from Redondo Beach she was already set up and done scouting and ready to shoot! She made both me and my husband feel very comfortable for the shoot, especially since we are extremely awkward together in photos... and more importantly Alicia made our pups feel SUPER at home. Our little Maizie is a stray and is usually super scared of strangers but she didn't even bark at Alicia at all and was even open to letting Alicia pet her while we were doing solos with Mac. She was also really great at getting the dog's attention and she was very hands-on and active trying to get the best shot, even laying in the grass or on her knees with her 'knee pads' LOL. On top of how much fun we had with our pups, Alicia shot with us for over an hour instead of the 30 minute package we paid for AND she got our best photos to us within the day! It was an amazing experience! We honestly can't wait to shoot with her again, but this time probably her doggy lifestyle package so we can just have great photos of our pups playing around together! We highly recommend her to anyone who has a fur baby :)

Not only did Danielle capture brilliant images of my dog family, she's the reason I met my partner!…read more After several hours of shooting with my three dogs (including one VERY skittish shepherd mix), I got some incredibly cute portraits, and was so happy with them I put them on my dating app profile. Not long after, I matched with a gentleman who had taken portraits with Danielle too! AND he used the same prop (a typewriter- we're both writers). Turns out we had matched previously, he'd seen my photos, and decided to have his own done with his German Shepherd. So now I have four dogs. This week we had took our new family portraits together, and Danielle took the time to comp in one of the dogs to get the perfect shot without having to stress her out. Thank you so much, Danielle.

My experience was even better than I could've imagined -- all that and more! I was blown away by Danielle's expertise and chops with her craft. She had all these tricks up her sleeve to get my sweet but nervous cat to relax and light up in front of the camera. She was also so kind and accommodating with me. The photos she took were the CUTEST! I got the 90's pet montage and am just so obsessed with her playful and creative photography style. She captured my cat's personality and different facial expressions perfectly. I can't wait to print out and hang up these pictures!! She really is the best pet photographer in LA and beyond. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. So worth it and I'm already scheming to come back for a group photography session. Thank you so much Danielle!!
