The hair and makeup artist was able to follow my vague instructions and helped customized my overall look, including jewelry choices. She also stayed throughout the shoot for touch-ups, and even helped with posing. Sam's knows what angles to shoot and which lighting works. He guided us through the poses and was able to wrap up our shoot earlier than estimated even though I usually find myself very awkward in front of the camera. I also appreciated that they provide all of the digital files, including the 500+ raw ones. When I wasn't a fan of the initial editing style, Sam was very receptive to my feedback and revised the photos quickly. The reason for 4 stars is the communication. During the consultation, I was hoping for more guidance on ideas since I didn't have a clear vision. I was just shown his portfolio on his tablet and quietly scrolled in front of him. After the shoot, I had to follow up for updates on my raw and edited photos. Only after I reached out first did he respond immediately.

We are both quite awkward with posing, but the team guided us on our poses and made everything really easy for us.

They edited it so beautifully and really captured the love and happiness from that day. The video is something that we will truly cherish for the rest of our lives. We would highly recommend them!

We discussed and confirmed a time first, and I thought the next step was paying the deposit…read more Their logic was: you must pay the deposit first before you even have the "right" to secure the time slot. As parents, coordinating schedules for babies is not easy. We need time to confirm naps, feeding schedules, parents' availability, etc. I completely understand requiring a deposit, but I genuinely didn't expect zero flexibility after hours of communication. Normal logic would be: confirm a workable time first then pay the deposit. Their policy was: pay first then maybe continue discussing the schedule. And this is not a cheap studio either: $600 for 15 photos. For that price, I expected at least some professionalism and empathy toward families with small children. Timeline: * 2:51 PM -- discussed the time, I replied "should work" * 5:08 PM -- I officially confirmed * 5:51 PM -- they replied: "No availability anymore" I spent two hours coordinating schedules. They took one hour to reply, and the final answer was simply: "No availability." At this point, I honestly feel like some LA businesses have become way too comfortable ignoring customer experience.

The photographer took some amazing photos and made all of us felt at ease. The studio is small but has everything needed for the photoshoot. It is clean and cute. The photographer and her assistant were both very friendly. They played with our kids, had toys to attract their attention and she captured some great smiles. My daughter is super shy and it's very difficult to get her to open up. When we first entered the studio, the photographer started danced with my daughter and tried to get her loosen up. I thought that was such a kind and nice gesture. My kids told us that they had a fun time there as if everything was a game. We haven't had a professional photo shoot in years because I had a traumatizing experience with another photographer who did not show up and we were waiting in the middle of a mountain. At first I was nervous to do this photoshoot But Vlove came recommended by a friend. I'm so glad I booked the mini session and I look forward to our final edited photos !

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 :)

When Janice delivered her work, every photo was sharp, beautiful, natural, and captured our joy and emotions -- truly outstanding.

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.
