I didn't expect for the studio to be as professional as it was! Super excited I came across this studio. Found out about this studio through my acting classes. Very reasonably priced considering how professional the set up was. There's a changing room and vanity area to touch up. Rafael knows how to take great headshots. It was super easy to pick the final look. He also offers a same day service where you can pick the final headshot with him, he can do the touch up right there and then, and print them out with your name on it! It is soo hard coming across a headshot photographer that is reasonably priced and offers great service! Will definitely come back for future sessions. read more

In less than an hour, I had three fantastic looks captured, making it the best experience I've had. Rafael sent me all the pictures within just 2 hours of our session, showcasing how efficiently he works. Most importantly, every single picture was outstanding, making it challenging to choose which ones to retouch. Thank you so much! I will definitely be back! read more

Rafael is amazing!!!! So affordable and probably the best headshots I've ever taken! He made the experience super comfortable (offered snacks, drinks, a fan, separate dressing room, a makeup mirror). He helped me pick out outfits and my photos later on! He knows his stuff too! Commercial versus theatrical lighting, how to light headshots with glasses. You can take photos all in studio or outside, or both like I did. I am incredibly happy with the over three hundred photos taken at my three look session! Do yourself a favor and book this artist!!!! read more

Also he had several great spots for outdoor shots. Would 100% work with him again. read more
