    I have never met someone who actually loves what they do for work. Gary displays great passion within his artwork! He is a very awesome person with a high spirited personality. When I walked into the office for the first time he instantly gave off a positive vibe and I felt very comfortable chatting with him. Gary took photos of me, my spouse, and my son and we all had an awesome experience. He caught some surprise shots of us which were hilarious to look at!! My son was being bad most of the time because he was tired, but Gary knew how to get his attention. In the process he captured memorable shots of my son and took a great family photo of me, my son, and my spouse. His prices are great and his work is high quality. Great guy. I would definitely recommend going to him for any photo shoot!

    I came in for some last minute passport photos and Mr. Toyo did an amazing job! 6 photos for $16! I don't usually write Yelp reviews but I had to share my experience here. I'm the type of person that has to see my picture before it's finalized because I'm don't want to pay for a picture that I'm not happy with. Mr. Toyo took several poses and made sure the lighting was just right for my photo. After the photos were taking he took the time to touch them up but not to the point where they looked touched up. He made it look very natural. If you need passport pictures done this is the place to go in the South Bay! The studio is located on the corner of Raymond and Gardena, if there isn't street parking there is parking behind the studio. Happy picture taking!!

    This review is long overdue!!! If you want the most amazing passport pics ever or portraits of yourself for business or of your family, I cannot recommend this place enough. The owner and his wife are amazingly sweet and professional, plus you can tell that the photographer knows exactly what he's doing and how to capture your best features. We've had a busy year at my business, but I'm planning on bringing my staff in to have their professional portraits done because of what a great experience I had here. Literally, pay the extra little bit of money to get great passport photos from this pro, rather than an inexperienced kid at Walgreens or CVS. They really care here and it shows in the work! Plus, you have your passport for like 10 years and I have already received so many compliments on mine. Call in advance, but I was able to come in same day and I was in and out. Also, they only took cash the last time I was in, but the customer service was definitely worth the extra few min drive to the atm.

When I was first looking for a photographer, I was in awe of his variety of artistic and breathtaking photos on his site from other weddings & events. As a fellow creative, I wanted someone that could see the possibilities and offer unique photos and he went above and beyond that! Joey really put us at ease with his fun energy & sense of humor. We all had a great time laughing with our wedding party and everyone. Joey and his team are so friendly, creative and professional. We really appreciate how quickly Joey and Mr. Tracy responded to our questions in the beginning and in the consultation. Even with the heatwave in LA of our wedding weekend, our photos came out AMAZING. The love, joy and giddiness of that day is captured along with the little details in our centerpieces and other things that we made for our wedding. Here's a few our favorite photos from the preview.

We recently received our wedding photos, and words can't describe how happy we are with them! The shots, lighting, and editing are absolutely beautiful and captured the magic of our day. Our guests have also raved about how stunning the photos are, and how perfectly Mike captured our vibes. Many shared our sentiment of how great of a photographer he is. We also did our engagement session with Mike, and, as a couple who's a bit shy about posing, we let him know upfront that we might need some guidance. Mike was amazing at helping us relax and feel natural, which transitioned beautifully on the wedding day. His calm and friendly presence made it easy to just enjoy the moment and let him work his magic. On the wedding day, Mike was both professional and flexible. We had a list of must-have shots, which included a 21-person wedding party and family, and he worked efficiently to get each one while still capturing plenty of organic, candid moments. He was very realistic about timing, giving us guidance on what was achievable without ever making us feel rushed. Working with Mike was easy and enjoyable from start to finish. If you're looking for a photographer who will capture the authentic beauty of your day and create breathtaking images, we highly recommend Mike!

We were initially interested in his services upon stumbling across his Instagram and website. From the moment we contacted him, we knew he would be our chill and talented photographer. Everything was transparent and not complicated, which was so important to us. We met him during our engagement shoot (a part of the package we booked) and immediately felt at ease with him. Those photographs are some of our favorites! Come wedding day, he was super professional, kind, and detailed with the variety of creative shots he took. He also had to deal with some difficult and commanding family members, and worked through it gracefully. Throughout the night, we didn't notice him at all taking thoughtful pictures because he does it so ninja-like. The turnaround with receiving our photographs was speedy as well. We are in love with all the photographs, from couple pictures to family ones and ceremony and reception. Even the photographs of the decor and plants (he and I share that passion) are stunning. The photographs capture the fun spirit of our wedding with such rawness and personality. We love his style, both in taking the pictures and how they turned out. Thank you for a lifetime of memories!

    Truth be told....I write this with a bit of a tear in my eye....not to get too melodramatic over a…read moreyelp review....but pictures...when done perfect and if your in a particular sentimental mood....can have that effect. Some backstory...Imagix/Michelle has done our yearly photos for our son from ages 1 to now 5. (See my past reviews). From somehow capturing a perfect moment from our perpetually moving blur of a son (ages 1-3) to patiently instructing four 70/80 year olds on how to hold their aforementioned 4 year old Tasmanian Devil grandson last year, Michelle is a magician/artist...I always leave the photoshoot stressed from the chaos Hurricane Daniel (our son) leaves in his wake....But every year we come back to look at the proofs and are amazed at Michelle ability to capture "lighting in a bottle" . This year was no different. Fortunately we survived the terrible 2's (...3's....4's....) and thanks to time, maturity, and the opposite of gentle parenting, our little Daniel, though far from perfect, is manageable. But we didn't want to make it too easy for Michelle, so we threw in another variable. After a recent canine cancer scare, and recently learning from Google that all dogs, however loyal and cute, unfortunately have an inescapable life, span, I somehow convinced my beautiful but camera shy wife that this is the year we do a family photo with our dog. Some more backstory, if you read this far, our Yorkie, Libby, loves us but HATES the rest of the world. She spent the entire hour photoshoot in perpetual scowl and Volume 11 non stop bark. One week later as she always does, lighting in a bottle perfection. I looked at the proofs with amazement. Our son, we expected....she's done it every year, but how she made a loud perpetual yapping bark into a impossibly cute smile is above my skill set. But I think her greatest feat is how she lessened the "he must be rich" looks gap between my wife and I. My wife is easy, even me with my amateur Android skills, it's hard for her to take a bad picture. Michelle mastery came with how she elevated me to "he must be funny" looks gap level. So why the tear? We loved one of the pics so much we purchased a large framed canvas print to hang on our living room wall. My 85 year old happened to be in town for his grandsons 5th bday so I asked him for an helping hand hanging the picture. I figured he has these family portrait hanging at my childhood home. My brother and I with our full head of hair and my mom shoulder pads captured the 90's to a tee...but what I always remember is the "proud" look my dad had on his face. A look of accomplishment shouting "look at me world and all that I love and created". Watching my aging dad struggle, listing to my aging dog bark in a locked room to protect my dad's ankles, I was suddenly reminded that time, as much as you want to hit pause, always moves forward. It's a good idea to stop and smell the roses, or in this case, look at the snapshot/memories/moments and take it all in. After my dad handed me the leveler and I put away the hammer, and I looked up....and yeah....I had that "Dad" look
