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!

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 :)

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

Not only did Danielle capture brilliant images of my dog family, she's the reason I met my partner!…read more After several hours of shooting with my three dogs (including one VERY skittish shepherd mix), I got some incredibly cute portraits, and was so happy with them I put them on my dating app profile. Not long after, I matched with a gentleman who had taken portraits with Danielle too! AND he used the same prop (a typewriter- we're both writers). Turns out we had matched previously, he'd seen my photos, and decided to have his own done with his German Shepherd. So now I have four dogs. This week we had took our new family portraits together, and Danielle took the time to comp in one of the dogs to get the perfect shot without having to stress her out. Thank you so much, Danielle.

This was my first time having a pet portrait done. I wasn't sure what to expect but I'd read…read moreglowing reviews of Danielle and was super excited. 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!!

I'm very happy we sought Owen for our engagement photos. He was made the process easy and I…read moredefinitely recommend him to anyone in need of a professional photographer. My husband and I were surprised with how good the photos turned out. Owen guided us on poses, so do not worry if you don't have any experience in front of a camera like us. I appreciate his attention to detail (notifying us of stray hairs, etc.) and he was respectful for my family who wanted a group photo. Not to mention, he's really humorous with his pop culture references; that definitely broke the ice and allowed us to be more at ease. I also want to highlight that he works incredibly fast and presented the finished products just a few days after our shoot! Thank you, Owen, for capturing these special moments for me and my husband.

I can't say enough about Owen's services. He was the best photographer I think we have ever hired…read more Super friendly and professional from the start, easy to schedule and book. He knew what we were looking for and took pictures of everything, food, guests, the venue. He directed all of the family photos and wasn't afraid to tell people to fix things for the sake of the pictures. He had my kids taking their monstrous load of stuff out of their pockets and even had me "suck it in" to get the right shot. Quick delivery of the photos and was cool enough to just give us all of the picture for the event. Highly recommend....
