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.

I've never hired a pet photographer before (this is my first pet) and I wanted to make sure I got someone that could capture his emotion not just how cute he is - because, afterall, he's a pretty cute subject to begin with. Working with Kim was great. She knew exactly what to do to get the 8 week old puppy to look at the camera and play without it seeming coerced. I can't wait to get the photos back. She's got an amazing portfolio and she not only does animals she does wedding and other life events as well. I would recommend her to anyone.

The seamless process began with their online booking system, which made it incredibly easy to navigate and find the perfect package for our family. Their website is highly detailed and transparent about all offerings. Beyond the exceptional service, I deeply connected with Rina's inspiring mission of collaborating with local shelters and donating a portion of profits back to support rescue animals. At the appointment, Rina provided excellent, clear instructions on how to position ourselves with the dogs. Her warm and friendly demeanor instantly put our corgis at ease, allowing her to capture an abundance of incredible shots. In fact, we loved the results so much that we ended up adding more photos to our package while onsite. These have quickly become some of our absolute favorite photos of our family and we deeply treasure.

Highly recommend for anyone looking to capture some special moments with their pup!

Jen is not simply a photographer you just have a photoshoot and print out the picture to get it…read moreover with. She professionally and personally works with people and their life stories. From the day 1 of our phone consultation, Jen had heard me and my vision of photoshoot. She pulled out every single piece together to create the story in the frame. Not only was our extensive discussion helpful, but also we were able to build a relationship as artist and model, friends, and family. Jen welcomed me and my dad with her heart and made us feel home at Vashon Island. Of course the photoshoot was incredibly fun and I can't wait for another photoshoot with Jen. Not to mention, her assistant Sarah is proactive in communication and so involved throughout the entire process. Thank you so much for such unforgettable memories and experience!

She took my family of two squirmy kids, my gorgeous wife, and my unphotogenic self, and made us all look brilliant in the same frame. And she has a talent with the soul. I've taken 1200 iPhone photos, hundreds of high quality digital camera photos, and yet not one picture has ever captured the essence of my kids on film. Yet in a one hour sitting, I had dozens of photos to choose from, each one more perfectly representative of my children's personalities than the last. She can capture your soul on film. THAT is why you go see Jennifer.
