THANK YOU, CAPITOLA DESIGNS!

Helbard is a delight. He has done several projects for me. He is very good at what he does...and…read morehis pricing is very competitive. I have always found him to be approachable, courteous, and he seems to have a keen insight into how to deliver the perfect photos, on time, and on budget. I hired him to photograph my daughters wedding at Chaminade, and he recently photographed my 30th wedding anniversary at Nestldown. The best part? He is a commercial photographer who specializes in product shots...but as a courtesy to me he agreed to do the wedding and anniversary parties. Thanks Helbard!

I actually joined Yelp (after reading several reviews over the years) specifically to write a…read morereview of Mockingbird Product Photography because I am so grateful to Helbard and the package that he gave me as an independent local Jewelry Designer and incredibly anxious/desperate start-up businessperson. I called 5 local product photography outfits who quoted me outrageous prices on a very small inventory. One business actually quoted me a rate of $300 hundred dollars an hour PLUS a per-print fee of $20! Mockingbird Product Photography charged me a flat rate, gave me what I felt was an honest, upfront estimate, and charged no additional per-print fee. I also found Helbard to be warm, genuine, ethical, and Santa Cruz Cool. He demonstrated a thorough understanding of my business and business needs, and he even took a few minutes to show me how to work my own D-! I discovered when I started out that are plenty of people willing to prey on me for my meager investment money, and that some local businesses are no exception. Thank Heaven Santa Cruz still contains folks like Helbard and Santa Cruz-y businesses like Mockingbird Product Photography.

Very disappointing We go to Tax magic every year to file for pur tax refund. Always had good…read moreexperience but this year was just not it. We filed February 4th which our paper work should have been processed right away. We have been waiting for a month now for our return and still have no information on when we will get it when we check where's my refund. We finally called and to our surprise they didn't even process it yet and had the nerve to lie saying yeah its looking good when this whole time they didn't send it out to get processed now we have to wait even longer for our return. We just wanted a simple question answered and we just keep getting the run around and lied too. It's simple be honest with your clients. The excuse was it was lost in the system somewhere which I highly doubt that they just didn't want to admit to their mistake of not sending it out when they should have right away. If you want your tax refund on time I suggest you don't go to Tax Magic.
