Where do i begin? Ani is Golden! Kind hearted! So talented! So professional! She knows exactly how to capture those important photos that freezes the time from your event so every time you look at those photos you remember that exact moment from your event. The way she gives you photos in both color and black white are beyond fantastic! I have now invited Ani to few of our family events and from now on whenever I have to give someone a gift for a event I always choose Ani, gifting people photographs of their event professionally done by a talented photographer is priceless! Be sure to reach out to her for your next event or even do family photo sessions like mother and daughter or with grandparents ... you will love her and her talent!

I honestly just have to say that Ani is one of the best woman photographers I know. She made my 30th birthday photoshoot so fun. She made me feel so confident and less nervous. Shes super talented! Not going to lie, she gives the best ideas too! She has the perfect creative mind and eye for photos! Thank you so much Ani Jan for my first memorable photoshoot experience. I can't wait to book you again for my upcoming photoshoots in the future! Don't hesitate and book her, you won't regret it. She's amazing!

Came across Ani's instagram when I was in need of a photographer for my bridal shower. I messaged her, she responded super quick and that was it. I suddenly had a photographer set and ready for the party. She truly has an incredible eye for detail and a knack for capturing those special moments that make memories last a lifetime. We also did a Christmas photo shoot with our pup and she was so patient. Ani will definitely be my top choice for every upcoming event!

You don't know you need a go to photographer until you find that one photographer that you just click with! Ani was born for this. She's patient, fun and has a vision. It's not a chore to take family photos when the person behind the camera is hyping you up, making your kids laugh and take the best photos all at the same time. My favorite part was how fast the entire process was. Thank you Ani me and my family love you and your work!

For someone who needs time to open up, Ani put me at ease with every shoots that I did with her, whether it was solos or family photos. Her fun and easy-going personality makes you feel comfortable and the photos come out so natural and candid. I love her style because it doesn't feel forced or staged. I'm in love with all the photos she's taken of me and my family and I have recommended her to everyone that I know.

Ani is incredible. She photographed our family with such care, attention and detail and she is just such a pure joy to work with. We were able to meet her husband as well who is such a nice guy and together they made us feel so comfortable (our kids loved them!) Thank you again for capturing such great images of our family as such an important chapter of our lives. We will definitely be working with them again :)

See all

Sahag and Shahe are truly gems!! The most chillest, most outgoing photographers we could've…read morepossibly had for our wedding! I absolutely love them and will continue to come to them for our future events!! From the moment we met with them, they immediately spoke to us like we were already their friends. They knew what we wanted and it was very easy to understand the vision they had when explained to us! I didn't hire a wedding coordinator because.. inflation and budgets lolll but at the end of the day, Sahag made me feel comfortable enough to call him and ask him for his advice on how long each part of the day would take in regards to creating an itinerary and making sure we had enough time for everything. I must have called Sahag at least 50x!! Poor guy lol! But he never seemed annoyed, never gave me an ounce of negative energy, he was always willing to help, and never let one call go to voicemail! WOW!! During both our engagement and wedding shoots, I was getting a little cranky with the pains from my heels (I hate heels and I hate the man who invented heels even more!) and they knew exactly how to handle the situation and always made sure I kept a smile on my face! Come to find out, they had also worked on my SIL's christening and her parents wedding! So it's easy to say that they're pretty much family at this point! Lolll These guys work hard to make sure you have the greatest day of your life and they do it so smoothly and make it look so easy!! We weren't even speaking to photographers we hired, we were speaking with friends! I can't emphasize that enough!! We will continue to recommend them to all of our friends and family members! Sahag and Shahe and the videographers (I wish I had their names, I'm so sorry!) thank you for allowing us to have the SMOOTHEST wedding day possible while also being apart of our celebrations! We are forever grateful to you guys and we can't wait to work with you again on our future events!

Sahag has been doing amazing photography for decades now. Many thanks and huge compliments to Arka…read morephotography.

We had such a wonderful experience! My baby was just about to turn ONE, and capturing this…read moremilestone meant a lot to me. As every parent knows, babies & toddlers can be unpredictable. From the moment we arrived, Tiffany created a warm & comfortable environment. She has a true gift - she was patient, playful & kind and somehow she knew exactly how to connect with my shy little one. She captured the sweetest smiles & the happiest expressions. I don't think anyone else could have made my baby so comfortable. Tiffany was super. The photos turned out perfectly. We will treasure these images for years to come. I wholeheartedly recommend Tiffany at Photo Perfections. She has a true gift for working with kids & creating memories that families will cherish for a lifetime

We had a horrible experience with this place We went here…read morebecause we had gotten an offer for a good deal that included all digital photos When we got there, their gate wasn't working and with a 3 week old had to wait for over 2 hours for them to fix it While taking the photos we had people asking the photographer a million questions and they had to pause several times which made my baby very fussy When it came time to pay they said for 16 pictures we had to pay 1200$ Which was not what they originally advertised This place is a major scam The only reason I came here was the distance and the advertisement The pricing says digital photos included but its a lie. They will only give you the digital photos of the package you pick, if you pick a package with 4 photos you only get 4 digital not all photos If we knew we had to pay 1200$ for pictures we would have went back to the original place we always go to 500$ flat fee all photos included and much much cuter props You would think with the major inconvenience they would have accommodated Do not recommend Save your money and do your research There are soooo many other places with better pricing and props Response to you Margo, I was not referring to the 69$ or whatever you are even talking about I am referring to your regular prices online and how its presented and worded to pull people in, you guys are very unprofessional as very evident in your response Your manager did not call me until 11:30 and I was driving from Santa Clarita and it was too late for me to return back, your business issues are not any of my concern, thats your concern. You saying to return my money and for me to not even get the 4 photos I paid 300$for after waiting at the mall with a 3 week old for over 3 hours ? Thats your management resolution?

Michelle was the complete opposite. First, I can't believe she accepted to shoot our wedding on 4 days notice! What a rockstar! Second, from the get-go, Michelle had the most positive and good-vibe energy to bring to the table. This is definitely someone I want following me around all day. She was sweet, patient and she got the most amazing shots of me and the bridal party and our entire family. On top of that, the turnaround time to get our photos was less than a week! Another rockstar quality. You go girl! All of my friends have said that our wedding photos are some of the best they have ever seen and I 100% agree. They could not have turned out better. I cannot recommend her enough. Good person, professional, a joy to work with, and fun. What more could you want? She made our wedding day even more magical than it already was because she captured all the special moments with her amazing talent.

Ive said it before and I will say it again. Hiring Michelle as a photographer to capture the most…read moreimportant day of my life was by far the easiest and best decision I ever did in my whole wedding planning. She has a natural eye for that perfect picture, she is reliable, and professional. Her and her team were over accommodating and supportive. As you may come to find, that day is full of excitement, emotions and fear that everything will turn out just as you planned and having them on your team is what every bride needs. I purchased the engagement and wedding package to get a feel for her before the wedding, and the moment we started the engagement shots I knew I was going to absolutely love my pictures- she made both my husband and I feel very comfortable and we weren't being rushed to finish our session. I recommend her to any bride looking for contemporary timeless pictures. I know in 20 years from now, I will look back and still love our photos. I look forward to getting pregnant and having her capture that part of our lives as well. Also, if she has other available photographers, she brings them along which works out great! One last thing ladies- REMEMBER this is the only thing you will have at the end of the day! Quality pictures are a necessity! Can I give her 10+ stars??? =]

I recently just shot with Travis for the second time in two years and I can't say enough about him…read more I can say that with the shots he took I got my first ever series regular and big guest star auditions. Is that because of the headshots or just because I've finally become the wonderful actor that we all were waiting for me to be? Who knows but I should probably stay on target here... Seriously, though, Travis is a blast to shoot with. I would imagine 90% of actors and comics are like me and hate getting headshots done. Travis makes the process fun and relaxed and the result are some killer shots that really capture who you are and how you want to be presented. I think going into a session knowing exactly what you are going for, what your strengths are and how you should be seen is vital and then Travis is able to take that "homework" and really work wonders with it. He'll get great shots that are specific to the tone you're presenting while at the same time be a great representation of "you walking into the room" which is exactly what a great shot needs to be. And they really pop online as well. The best headshots should be a collaboration and I feel these definitely are. Not to mention, he's a great dude to hang out with for a couple of hours. I can't recommend Travis highly enough!

I have paid over a thousand dollars in the past for head shots. No shit. And this dude is just as…read moregood AND actually tells me what he's doing to get the photo. He's specific and detailed in his instruction, but still light and fun. Some just shoot hundreds of frames and figure something will stick, but Travis takes his time so we BOTH know he's getting it right. He really listened to the looks I needed and found a way to get them AND still look like me on a really really good day. He showed me how to stand and how to move that got the energy I wanted and the aesthetics I need, as a woman of "moderate age". I had dozens of usable shots before he even retouched them. I love him. I have a hard time understanding why he's so cheap. I guess he really DOES want to perform a service, but don't let the pricing fool you. He could easily charge way more. Take advantage of this. My manager and agents are already sending him people and he won't be available and affordable for long.

We LOVE DANIELLE!!!!…read more We got our portraits done with Danielle and can't stop thinking about how great of an experience it was! Our dog (And us humans lol) have a bit of anxiety in general but Danielle was so warm, welcoming, accommodating, friendly and made us all feel so comfortable. She was also so professional, thoughtful, efficient, and great at communicating. And- GREAT sense of humor! Her space is warm, fun, and it felt like we were transformed to another place, outside our stressful daily lives. We all had a great time and will cherish our photos forever. It is truly special to have such nice photos of us and our dog- They turned out AMAZING!!! We plan on going back for annual portraits!

My experience was even better than I could've imagined -- all that and more! I was blown away by Danielle's expertise and chops with her craft. She had all these tricks up her sleeve to get my sweet but nervous cat to relax and light up in front of the camera. She was also so kind and accommodating with me. The photos she took were the CUTEST! I got the 90's pet montage and am just so obsessed with her playful and creative photography style. She captured my cat's personality and different facial expressions perfectly. I can't wait to print out and hang up these pictures!! She really is the best pet photographer in LA and beyond. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. So worth it and I'm already scheming to come back for a group photography session. Thank you so much Danielle!!
