I was a bit hesitant at first about contacting Violet to take my graduation photographs. My father had been a photographer for some years and even had his own studio at one point, so the obvious decision would have been to ask him to take my pictures, but after seeing Violet's portfolio, I was convinced to contact her. Violet was prompt in her replies to all my messages and was very helpful in answering my questions. After meeting for coffee, Violet helped me brainstorm ideas for locations, outfits, and even showed me samples of photo shoots she has previously worked on. Violet was beyond flexible with arranging a date for the photo shoot and her prices were competitive with those of other photographers in the area. On the day of the photo shoot, Violet was well prepared and brought a book filled with ideas for poses. Also, although I had only booked a 2-hour photo shoot, Violet was not strict with the time and allowed the photo shoot to go a bit beyond that. Violet even went out of her way to accommodate me when I asked her to send me a few pictures from the photoshoot before she was able to edit them. I don't know of any photographer who would have set time aside to grant this added request. I was more than satisfied with the photographs. I showed my parents the pictures and they were stunned by how good the photographs turned out. My father, a photographer of over twenty years, even praised Violet's skills with a camera. I was under the impression that photo shoots were lengthy and exhausting, but Violet made this photo shoot enjoyable and managed to take over 660 photographs. If you are looking for a photographer, look no further than Violet. She offers pricing packages that would fit any budget and has an impressive background with photography. Thank you for all your help, Violet! read more

I hired Violet Photography for my wedding. From first contact through completion she was exceptionally professional. She counseled us on our goals and put together a 2 photographer package for an extremely reasonable price at the last minute. Not only that, but she coordinated seemlessly with our other vendors including a drone operator to avoid duplicate content and managed to capture the feel of our Dark Carnival theme. For the group photos, she headed the cats that are my extended family. Highly recommend! Oh, and she was fun to hangout with after she was off the clock. My now-wife loves her. Perhaps too much. read more

Very professional and my pictures look absolutely beautiful..highly recommended I used her for my wedding and love the pictures she took read more

I would definitely recommend hiring her for your next event. read more

Stunning, Beautiful, Cutting-Edge Photography in Every Environment SITREP This young lady has amazing talents! As an amateur photographer myself, I always keep an eye out for great fotog-skillsets that go well beyond and transcend my own and those of other photographers I associate with. To her credit, Violet has every area of photography covered, which is why she is the consummate professional. SETUP I have enjoyed her work personally for the last six (6) years, and first came to know her in her work as a special-event, fashion-show, and club-photographer. Her capacity and versatility are astounding because of both the SPEED in which her subjects move, and because of the constantly changing physical and lighting scenarios she is confronted with. QUALITY PHOTO CAPTURES So on this note, whether you are looking to capture pictures of individuals, couples and/or groups in reserved poses & more postured settings, to random candids of individuals & moments in action, Violet has the skills & versatility to capture all of these details, and make the most vibrant & beautiful images out of them. Unlike other photographers, she is constantly on the move to get those special moments: at an entry where couples get their portraits snapped as if at a prom event, at celebratory toasts congratulating winners and roasting losers, she somehow manages to get it all! EQUIPMENT Her equipment is really diverse and she has an array of photographic tech capable to meet any demands called upon, including, from my own personal experience with her: * indoor evening shoots; *outdoor day shoots; and, *both smaller groups of around 50 or less people, to larger events of 300+ people. ALL OCCASIONS Whatever the group-parameters, event-parameters, lighting-parameters, and location-parameters, Violet is ready to bring her considerable photographic skills & talents to bear, and will bring all your best photo-memories together so you can keep reliving the fun over and over again! THE LOWDOWN For any party, special event, and intimate gathering, the memories of which you want to capture for years to come, Violet is who you can rely on to capture those fun & special memories! read more

Wizard, sorcerer, and magician all rolled into one! We hired Violet to photograph our March 2019 wedding. From beginning to end, she was extremely professional and personable photographer to work with. Violet was able to capture everything.....from those candid, special moments to large, posed group photos. She provided excellent directions to achieve lovely, fun results. My husband and I will forever cherish all the photographic memories we now have, all thanks to Violet! Her turn around time is impressive. All of her shots, along with many edited photos, were given to us on DVD. She was concise and prompt in all her communications with us. Violet's prices are beyond reasonable. I wouldn't hesitate to book her for any of your photography needs! read more

Halloween Wedding at Point Dume, Malibu (2014) How do I even begin to thank you Violet for photographing our wedding so perfectly. From the intitial phone conversation through the final review of our photographs, Violet was very personable and professional always having prompt communication with me. When Violet arrived at my Home she was camera-ready and started taking candid shots as I was getting ready. Through the pre/post ceremony chaos of trying to keep my itinerary on track she was very patient and fit into our day seamlessly. Cody and I could honestly not be any happier with our Wedding Album. My favorite part about looking through my album was seeing all of the moments we didn't know were happening. . . read more

Violet came out to Tucson to shoot our desert wedding, and did a wonderful job capturing the beauty of the setting as well as the wonderful moments from the ceremony and reception. She was cheerful in wrangling our large, extended families into group shots and catching those intimate details that help wedding photos to stand out. (Note that Violet does not typically work in Arizona; this was a special favor, as I have known her a long time and worked with her before. She also shot our engagement photos in Chicago, because we all happened to be in that city at the time.) Our wedding was literally out in the desert, and it was important to us that the cactus and mountains be featured prominently in the images, which they were. Violet also managed to get some good pictures of the cake even though the cake itself proved to be structurally unstable and the time window for capturing its beauty was fairly small. Also: many adorable shots of children. The full shoot, along with a selection of color-corrected photos, was soon delivered to us on CD-ROM. Her prices are really reasonable, and she covers your entire wedding day if you want pictures of the bride getting dressed, people stuffing into limos, etc. read more

Always amazing photoshoots, just had another with Violet Photography. She is meticulous in her setup and preparation. She is very creative with photoshoot ideas (if you dont come to her with one already in mind). She's easy to work with and very good at directing subjects during the shoots. After the shoot, she has some pretty flawless editing skills. I refer her to my friends, her portfolio speaks for itself. She is truly an artist. read more

Violet did all of our wedding photos, which were perfect. We were referred to her from other friends that were married a couple of years before my wife and I got married. Violet's photos were beautiful and she has a great eye to get those "money" shots you are looking for when you get married. She went to both wedding parties before the wedding to capture us getting ready. At the wedding, she took some great action shots as well. Her prices are extremely reasonable, many other wedding photographers would be 2 to 3 times as much as Violet. She also gives you ALL of the photos that she took that day and touches up several of them without charging you extra. We are so happy that we choose Violet as of photographer, we will use her in the future and recommend her to any one that needs a professional photographer. Thanks for everything Violet! read more

Violet takes amazing pictures!! I was a professional model in my past, and I hold her photos up to some of my best photos throughout my life. Her ability to capture emotion, color and atmosphere is extremely professional. Also, she cares about capturing moments - she shoots from the heart. When I created a costume piece, I sought her out at one of her regular gigs and asked her to take a special photo of it. Not only did she pose me to show off the piece correctly, she made sure she sent me the photo within a couple days without any prompting from me. I really appreciate her professionalism. Hire her immediately!! read more

I cannot truly explain how amazing Violet is! I hired her to do a photo shoot for my business - she took photos of my studio as well as some profile shots of me. Throughout the whole entire day, she was just wonderful. Very helpful and just plain perfect. She did an amazing job photographing my studio and took the time to make sure I liked the shots, before moving on. I am thrilled with the photos she took of me and was especially happy that she had me in positions that made me look fantastic. All in all, I will be using her ahhhhhhhhhhhhhmazing photo taking skills again!!!!!!! read more

I've seen Violet photograph in the wilds of LA Goth Clubland. She does a great job taking pictures of people. But it doesn't stop there! She has taken pictures of stars, actors/actresses and weddings! Each one shows she has an eye for scenery and people. If you need a cool (and nice) photographer for your wedding or PR event, contact Violet. read more

During my own shoot with Violet, I immediately noted her professionalism, and how COMFORTABLE she made me feel (I tend to be a little nervous in front of a camera, but there was no nervousness here!) Her eye is impeccable, and she has an innate ability to bring a concept to life. I was very pleased with the outcome of our shoot, and thankful that I had the chance to work with her! The way Violet shoots is fresh and fun, she gives great direction, and captures the best angles of not just the subject, but the scenery, and with such a versatile range, you will be highly satisfied with the end results! Whether you want to model in a one on one shoot, get head shots, do a theme or concept, or have an event you want gorgeous photographs for, I highly recommend Violet photography. read more

If you're looking for a fashion photographer in Los Angeles at an affordable price, look no further than Violet photography! Violet was the head photographer on a beach fashion shoot for our fashion accessory line. She was there more than eight hours, and extremely professional the entire time. As this was our first fashion shoot for our company, we didn't know as much as we probably could have taken more charge and told Violet what we wanted a bit more clearly. There were a couple moments where she wasn't sure what we wanted...and to be honest, we weren't either! However, the result were over a hundred great shots we now use on our website, posters, and promotional materials. It was a good experience, and Violet worked so well with the models, make up artist, videographer, and stylist. She's really cool and down for whatever you want to do. In other words, if you're looking for a photographer in LA for a photo shoot of any kind, contact Violet. Seriously. read more

Violet Photography was our wedding photographer and we loved working with her! Not only affordable but also accommodating, knowledgeable, full of ideas, made sure we were in good poses for our photos and we loved the results! She was able to capture our day perfectly! It was a pleasure to work with her! Thank you Violet! read more

In a moment where I was at a loss for whom to hire to photograph my wedding, I remembered seeing Violet taking pics at the Monte Cristo, and thought I would give her a try. She was friendly and approachable from day one. She understood my visions regarding my engagement photos, boudoir photos, and she covered me wedding beautifully! And her prices are beyond reasonable! We have high quality images that will last us a lifetime, and we are ever so grateful. I will only consider Violet for any of my future photography needs. Thank you for all your beautiful work! read more

Violet did my wedding photos and did an amazing job! She was very professional, friendly, and easy to work with. Also extremely affordable which was perfect for us. We are super happy we used her services and would suggest her to anyone! read more

Violet did our engagement and wedding photos and we love them all! She helped us capture the unique, yet classic vibe we were looking for. I had a book made with the pictures and they look great in print and online. I am really into have professional photos taken of my family and Violet is in the top of any I've ever worked with. I love her aesthetic , she is technically on point and she gives great direction during the shoot so you look your best. Violet took a lot of care in editing our photos and was very generous with the amount of pictures provided to us. These memories will be cherished forever! read more

Violet did our engagement and wedding photos. Very talented photographer, she's lots of fun, and her prices are very reasonable. Only draw back is that she doesn't currently have transportation so you will need to provide for her... However, if that's within your capabilities (there's always uber ;)), she will make it well worth your while. Thank you Violet.. Fantastic job :) read more

Our recent wedding was expertly photographed by Violet. Not only was she professional, courteous, and talented, but her eye for detail made for some very special photographs! Violet was able to capture the "flavor" of our really fun wedding. Several of the photos now hang in our home, and the select ones I posted to "social media" have received loads of compliments (ie: "straight out of Bride's magazine, "you guys look like models") It was a pleasure to work with her. She worked tirelessly and yet her prices are quite reasonable. read more

I recently had a boudoir photo shoot. I had never done anything like this, so I was very nervous. Violet quickly made me feel comfortable and reassured me, it really helped me get into it and feel more confident. Right away, she knew exactly what were my best angels to shoot from. Once I saw the final product, I was extremely pleased with the results. She really helped guide me on how to pose and give that sexy look I was going for. My husband absolutely loved them. It was the perfect Birthday Gift! Violet is a true professional. I was so happy to get all the pictures on the day we initially agreed on, even though, I had postponed the shoot one week prior. I will definitely keep her in mind for any future shoots. Thanks, Violet! read more

Violet is amazing, professional and a lot of fun to work with. She was so good with our infant son during the shoot. We were delighted with the finished product. read more

Violet has such an amazing eye -- each of her images jumps at you with the colors and composition. She knows her craft -- she makes optimal use of environment and lighting to bring out the best in each snapshot. She knows how to command a set and get great pictures out of whatever she is capturing. Violet has the broadness and depth of experience combined with a wicked talent to deliver pictures you'll want to keep with you for the rest of time. You won't be disappointed! read more

Violet took photos at my wedding last December. She came to my hotel room early in the morning, as we were getting ready, and spent the entire day tirelessly snapping photos, setting up great, imaginative shots, and coaching all of us. She knows what kinds of shots she wants, is decisive, and doesn't waste any time getting those great images. And since she primarily works on her own (although we were offered the option of an assistant if we wanted it), there's not a whole lot of equipment or additional people in the way of what's going on. She fell right in with everyone and did her thing flawlessly, without it being awkward. The photos ended up beautiful, and at a really reasonable price. She's also photographed my husband and me several other times, and we are ALWAYS happy with the results. Especially good with little kids. Top notch work! read more

We had violet take our wedding pictures and they came out nice. She was really easy to work with and made us feel comfortable.

Violet is a magician with light, some of my favorite photos of myself have been captured by her and that is not an easy feat! Years of experience look good on her and great on you. read more

Violet is a great photographer! She made me feel comfortable right away and I came out of our shoot with many, many amazing shots for my portfolio. I would definitely recommend Violet's services to friends (and I have! ). I'm actually going to book another shoot with her in the very near future. Can't wait! read more

Violet is awesome! As a photographer, she is professional and is detailed in what she does. She's also a very fun and sweet person, someone you'd feel comfortable working with. I highly recommend. :) read more

We hired Violet to shoot a recording session at our studio and take some 'glamor shots' of our rooms and lounge. She did a fantastic job capturing the session and really captured the feel of our studio. She's very punctual and cheerful, and was able to both get good candid shots of the session players and other crew, and get some great posed photos as well. We would definitely hire her again. read more

Violet did an amazing job photographing our wedding She demonstrated dogged determination to get the great photos. She did a great job of capturing the essence and emotions of our wedding day. She was very professional and stayed with us from the getting ready to the closing of the receptions. My husband and I would highly recommend her. read more

Had another shoot again for Dj and Producer promos in which I hired Violet. I was very pleased with the result considering I'm not a very photogenic person. She made me feel comfortable and brought the best out of me. Great shots and final product. read more

What can I say?! Violet was the absolute best decision I made for our wedding. She was very creative, helpful, eager, and listened to all of our ideas. We were completely discouraged after seeing the other quotes we received, we thought we would not be able to hire a professional photographer, Violet was a breath of fresh air. It was also difficult for us because my husband is also a photographer and we were very particular. Our photos are absolutely stunning, I could not have asked for more. She was very professional and all of the guests loved her! read more

Affordable, professional, and clearly an artist. Yes, Violet was my friend prior to her doing my wedding photos, but if she had been anything but the best I wouldn't be leaving such a high review. We started early at the Korean Friendship Bell, and she pretty much kept going until way after dinner. She was always looking for the best shots, long after my husband and I were too tired to even think about photos! She pressed us to do our best, and I know it will show in the final results. If you're looking for an affordable photographer without skimping on the quality, hire her! read more

Actors who need headshots, you cannot go wrong with Violet. She takes the time to discuss your vision and how, together, you can communicate your brand as an actor through your shots. She is very time friendly and doesn't make you wait for forever to get your material to you. She could very easily charge more for her talent, but is mindful of the artist's plight. I am proud to be a repeat customer! Also, I used Violet for my wedding and her eye for capturing precious moments, to this day, bring those memories to life. Her artistry blends traditional classic with a modern edge and reflects a timeless quality you want for your special day! read more

Beautiful Photography! I admire Violet's work from spontanous to a staged settings. I must comment on the flawless complexion her models have in each and everyone of her photographs. I have compared her photographs to others and there is no comparison. Violet's photography is always interesting and beautiful. read more

I booked Violet for a head-shot session and I was very pleased with the results. Violet was extremely professional throughout the whole process. We worked together to pick out my clothing and poses for the shoot to achieve maximum impact. I liked the fact that Violet made me feel comfortable in creating these poses, as I tend to be self conscious. She worked with me to make sure I was getting the right amount of smile, letting my personality come out. After the shoot we went over the photos and she made any necessary changes. I received my photos in a timely manner and was able to use them right away. I got a lot of positive feedback on my head-shots, so that was great to hear. I will book Violet again when the occasion arises, she is my go to photographer. read more

Violet is the ultimate professional. We chose her to shoot our January wedding a few years back and our photos are just the sweetest perfection. She caught our saturated colours, played with the setting sun and captured such tender moments. All without being in the way. She works quietly and knows how to get that perfect shot without blocking anyone's view. All our photos look amazing, no stiff poses, no funny faces. She even captured something that my Husband cried when he saw. He stopped and hugged me as we left the area, and it was just such a powerful moment, and Violet captured it. Our guests have made comments on how great she was. Friendly, and professional. Violet will work with you too, to get that special photograph you want. You wont be sorry if you hire Violet! read more

Violet was awesome in taking my daughter's pre-sweet 16 pictures. I had a vision and I explained to her what I was looking for, and she was on target in meeting those expectations. The end results were priceless, she took such beautiful pictures of my daughter and looking forward to many more. Thank you so much! read more

One of the best photographers you can hire. Remarkably stunning work, complimented by a highly professional manner, and an attention to detail before, during and after. Whether you a recording a life event, a party, a business function, artistic exhibit, or photos for work/career you will be impressed. read more
