So happy to have chosen Hilda as our photographer for engagement pics. I had the best time of my…read morelife playing around with different poses, locations and outfits. I'm super picky so it was hard to choose a photographer but God looked out for me by having me see her Facebook ad. She was soo helpful by showing us new poses and it wasnt awkward at all - it was my first time hiring a photographer and I was scared of that. All of the smiles in our pictures are real, I never had to force anything and a large part of that had to do with Hilda's direction and care, making me feel so relaxed. I've been looking at our finalized pictures everyday for weeks now I'm so obsessed with how they came out, I literally couldn't be happier!!

Everything went smoothly and seamlessly from my first communication with him to the actual event. I contacted him about four weeks prior to the event, and he was very responsive and easy to talk to. I explained what I wanted and how I envisioned the day would flow, and he was receptive, offering helpful suggestions. Since my schedule was hectic around the holidays, all communication was done via email, and I didn't speak with him personally before the event. I trusted my instincts, booked him - finding the contract and payment process very easy - and got in touch with him a few days prior to remind him. He showed up on time, worked well with our family and guests, and took nice photos. The gallery was delivered a few days after the party, sooner than expected, and we were happy with the results. Having him was truly the easiest decision I made for my mom's celebration, and I'm looking forward to future events where I can use his services again. Thanks again, Nick!

Because it's during COVID we were opting to do just a front yard photo shoot. Jennifer was sweet, kind and made us feel very comfortable the whole session. Made us laugh and reminded us to shake it off so we wouldn't look stiff in our photos. She was super professional but friendly the whole time. From a photographers standpoint she had a great eye for detail. Looked at creating fun angles and spaces to really maximize our small front yard area. Plus! She went the extra mile and brought a few balloons and a sign to complement our little setup. She really went above and beyond! The photos all came out amazing. I am so happy we found her and look forward to planning more photo shoots in the future!!! I couldn't recommend her enough!!

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 :)

On top of that, she even snuck my husband and me away for a few private photos, which I didn't expect but absolutely loved. Janice was wonderful at directing us without making anything feel stiff or awkward. She made the whole session feel easy and fun, and the kids stayed engaged the entire time (a small miracle). The photos turned out beautifully, and we genuinely enjoyed the process. Also, the turnaround time for delivery of photos was even faster than she estimated. We can't wait to work with her again and would recommend her to any family looking for someone patient, talented, and great with kids (and pets!).

We cannot sing enough praise for Nick and Sarah at Simile photography. From the outset, they were…read morewonderfully professional and responsive. They walked us through the process, and guided us through all the different permutations of photographic scenarios. They were extremely well organized and everything went very smoothly. Their positive energy was an added bonus. They had wonderful ideas and suggestions, while also diving into our goals and priorities. We felt heard, while still benefiting from their expertise, experience and creativity. On the day of the wedding they divided and conquered. It was so wonderful having two photographers, as that allowed us to get amazing photographs of each of us getting ready for the day. While ever present, it didn't feel like we were constantly being watched, and so we were able to relax (as much as possible!). Now we have the pleasure of trying to decide which of the many frameable photographs will adorn our walls. With respect to cost, which we know is always a factor, we found them extremely reasonable. And for the quality of so many amazing photographs, frankly a bargain! We would fully and wholeheartedly recommend Simile photography to friends and family. Our hope is to one day bring them back for an anniversary celebration in the future.

Sarah and Nick are a photography dream team! We were big fans of them before we hired them for the…read morewedding because they'd done some great work doing professional promo photos for my husband's work. We couldn't have chosen a better team to then capture our wedding. Their photography is impeccable - incredible eye for good shots, and when the finished product comes to you, fabulous editing. As a wedding team, they are unobtrusive (didn't even know they were there most of the time), and at the same time, totally on it -- making sure we got every permutation of wedding party photos, putting aside time to do gorgeous golden hour pics, etc. They are very experienced in weddings and made excellent suggestions that made our photos better, such as prepping us on how to subtly pose the rings while at the alter, and making sure our speed photos were dynamic and well composited (by having the guests come to us). We received our photos about two months after the wedding date and couldn't be happier at the array of beautiful shots they got of us, both candid and posed. This was our fairytale wedding and now we have the perfect images to remember it by.

If you want to re-live your big day over and over again years later, James is your guy! My wife and I had never done a professional photoshoot. Neither of us are particularly comfortable in front of the camera. After interviewing 5 different photographers, we knew from our first conversation that James was the one. He is incredibly friendly, easy going, and knowledgeable. We agreed to do an engagement session, 1 location for 90mins to see if we'd be comfortable working with James. It couldn't have gone better. Initially, we were a bit stiff, but James gave us tips on how to act naturally, suggested poses and hand positions that made us feel and look relaxed. The time flew by and we actually ended up going to a second location with a wardrobe change. Overall, it was about 2 hours. James did not mind at all. In fact, he probably could've gone longer if the sun hadn't set on us! Our photos were edited and received in less than 2 weeks! James was kind enough to print a large poster and sign that shipped to our house in just a few days. He price matched any package/prints from other photographers. Having gone through our engagement session seamlessly, we hired James to shoot our wedding as well. He and an assistant were on site for 10 hours, tending to our every need and keeping us on our timeline. After our planned family/wedding party photos, we hardly even noticed them working as we proceeded with wedding events. After the wedding, we received many compliments on how great James was and several guests asked for his contact information. Within a couple of days, we received a preview of about 20 photos highlighting our big day. We were thrilled! Every important moment was captured so elegantly! The full magazine of photos was available for download in about 1 month. James then worked with us to print a high quality photo book for our coffee table. You can't go wrong with James--his high quality work and work ethic speak for themselves. There is no substitute for how easy and stress free he made us feel, so that we could truly enjoy ourselves knowing that he would capture every single moment candidly. Do not hesitate to hire James, it will be the best decision you will ever make.

An unforgettable experience captured perfectly -- thank you, James!…read more I had the honor of graduating from both LACC and UCLA Extension, and I'm so grateful that James was there to capture every important moment. From our first communication, he was extremely professional, flexible, and kind, always making sure he understood what I wanted and adapting to each location, timeline, and change with ease. He photographed both ceremonies with incredible attention to detail -- from candid moments of me with my husband, family, and friends, to emotional highlights like walking across the stage, and even the quiet, heartfelt moments in between. His eye for storytelling brought every part of the day to life. James made everyone feel comfortable, and his warm presence truly added to the celebration. He treated both graduations with care and dedication, and I couldn't have asked for a better photographer to help preserve these milestones. If you're looking for someone reliable, talented, and genuinely passionate about their work -- James is the one. Thank you again for capturing these beautiful memories that my loved ones and I will treasure forever!
