She was a lovely and wonderful cat but I just couldn't capture her beauty on my own so I emailed Josh. He showed up the next night and spent a couple of hours with us, calmly and patiently waiting for the right moments to shoot . The results were nothing short of glamorous and beautiful. Additionally he has shot my own dork, "Jarvis P. Weasley", whose photos have since propelled him to worldwide fame! ;) Josh is talented,wonderful, patient, caring and has a tremendous amout of zeal for what he does. I couldn't recommend him more!

My cats have never looked so beautiful as they do in the pictures Josh took of them! My boyfriend…read moreand I hired him tor a private session with our six fur kids in San Mateo. He gave us basic pointers of what to do beforehand (like close the doors where the cats can hide under the bed) and the day of the shoot he captured really spectacular pictures of all of them. His calm personality helped even the shy and uncooperative cats open up. The many phone pictures I have taken of my cats through the years just don't compare to the quality and individual personality he captures in the photos. They were all postcard worthy - and I'm not just saying that because I'm partial to my babies, which I of course am. Another really cool thing is that he volunteers and takes gorgeous pictures of cats in need of homes. He had actually met a couple of my cats in years prior to our photo shoot when one was in the shelter (SFACC) and one with a rescue (Wonder Cat Rescue) and he remembered them! I can't say enough good things. Hire a session with Josh for a fun birthday present for a pet-lover, to commemorate a special event like an adoption anniversary, or just because you want good pet pictures. It's indulgent and it's fun, and it's way more affordable than you might think.

Jennifer was SO friendly and knew how to work with our dog, Otus to get the best photos. She was also mindful of the treats she brought to entice our pup with for the session, mentioning that she liked single ingredient treats as to not upset dog stomaches. What was more impressive was the turn around time in which she delivered our full gallery: within the week that we had the session! We're so excited to show off these photos and use them for our Holiday cards this year!

Natalka is great photographer, with amazing attitude, who thinks out of the box, always trying something new. She really loves animals (yes! she proved it while she did tons of volunteering work for animal shelter), animals feels this and respond to her with love as well!

I was worried he might have "catitude", not engage and sleep through his photo session! Marika arrived a little early, and was able to capture Scout during he afternoon social/happy hour! Scout was intrigued in all the amazing sounds Marika made to communicate and it was such fun to watch Scout show her around our yard! The video she made for us truly captured the essence of Scout-and the depth of his wisdom, kindness and compassion in his eyes, and his social comings and goings! It is so worthwhile to have your pet's life captured by a professional animal photographer. We are so happy we met Marika and had her capture Scout's story for us!

Until I first saw her work, "pet photography" always seemed just like nice photos of the family pet. Marika's pet photos show off the personality, the heart and soul and the individuality of the pet.

There are too many people out there that get their hands on a DSLR and some photo editing presets that call themselves "photographers." This is not the case with Connor, who I've known to have a camera by his side since he was in high school. Before, during, and after all of the photo shoots I have had with Connor, he has been nothing short of truly professional, and incredibly fun to work with. We've done headshots, lifestyle, and apparel shoots together and they have all come out incredible. Not only does he possess the talent required to capture anything within (or out of) your wildest dreams, but he also carries the most top of the line, up to date equipment as well. Not to mention, he has experience with every kind of client that has come a photographer's way, and has always executed. Connor also carries himself very confidently on all social media platforms and has a breathtaking portfolio to blow away any competition that comes his way. You won't be disappointed. Tell 'em James sent ya.

He wasn't nervous at all and the smiles are so genuine. Their packages are very reasonable compared to some studios and we are just trying to decide which ones to choose as we have lots of favorites. The grandparents were also so pleased since the photos weren't so "out there" in strange colors and poses. However, our son really liked several of the photos taken with the hood up on his sweatshirt and processed in an edgier finish. So, the photographer and studio struck the perfect balance between new and traditional. I would recommend them highly. The staff is professional and caring.
