Stacey is amazing. I first met her through a friend that was organizing a head shots evening for…read morelots of professional friends, so I bought 15 min in a studio with Stacey and got the best headshot that has come in so very handy many times. I moderated a panel last week and a panelist I was being introduced to said, "yes, the woman with the most amazing head shot." Yesterday morning we did our 5th(!) family mini session shoot with Stacey in a garden next to the Capitol. It's wonderful to get these beautiful shots of our children growing up -- and have some shots with me that I love that aren't selfies! Years ago Stacey took an iconic (among our family and friends) photo of my son sulking off to the left of the Washington monument when my husband and I were were standing to the right smiling while pregnant with our daughter. That same day Stacey was able to joke around with our son and get the best shots of him smiling and enjoying himself. Our daughter enjoys the shoots just as much. Thank you, Stacey!

The kids felt they were included in the process and were therefore happy to comply with her requests. She has a gentle and very effective way of working with people and I greatly appreciate that!

Really enjoyed my session with Moshe. Consummate professional, and so generous with his time and…read morepatience to ensure the customer gets exactly what they want. He really knows what he's doing and is a master at coaxing the best out of his subject, then helping them muddle through the enormous amount of material to pick out the gems with just enough input to make sure you're getting what you want, not what he thinks you should have (although I bet he'd be happy to pick out his favorite shots if you feel you need that level of input). Editing was quick and very responsive and I feel like I really got a great value for the money I spent.

Moshe was super accommodating and very friendly and professional. The pictures came out great.read more

Working with Elliott O'Donovan was an absolute game-changer for me. I've never been someone who…read morefeels comfortable in front of a camera, but Elliott has a remarkable gift for putting people at ease. He took extra time to get to know me, calm my nerves, and create an environment where I could truly relax and be myself. What really sets Elliott apart is his ability to capture you--your personality, your energy, your best self--so authentically. I walked away from the shoot feeling confident, and the photos reflect the best version of me. I also loved his unique process: after the shoot, he sits down with you the very same day to go through the images together. It's such a thoughtful approach--no long waiting period, no endless back-and-forth--you leave with your selected photos in hand, feeling completely taken care of. Elliott is professional, kind, and incredibly talented. I can't recommend him enough to anyone looking for photos that truly reflect who they are.

If it was possible to give Elliott more than five stars, I would. My photo shoot experience with…read morehim exceeded all my expectations. Not only are his photographs absolutely stunning, the experience of being photographed was something I will always remember. He made me feel so comfortable and special during the shoot and during the "reveal." I chose to have my makeup done for the shoot and was introduced to the extraordinary Emily McKenzie, who works with Elliott. She is the real deal and is uber talented. I have never felt so good about how I looked in a photo. The whole experience was amazing and I am so grateful I took the leap!

I give Tina my highest possible recommendation! I've never worked with a photographer so talented…read moreor attuned to the needs of her clients. We first engaged Tina to take headshots that our daughter needed for school applications. Despite a VERY short turnaround time, Tina was able to bring her into the studio and get the perfect shot. Tina talked to her about what she was looking for, got her comfortable with being photographed, and -- literally the same day -- produced several dozen proofs for us to review and select from. The end result was a series of absolutely dazzling photos that were exactly what my daughter needed (and came at an extremely reasonable price). Thank you again, Tina for so quickly producing such spectacular results!

Erin Scott was fantastic. Not only were the photographs she took wonderful but she was so…read morefriendly/fun to work with! First, we were late (I still haven't figured out how to account for DC traffic) - Erin was very nice/gracious about it. Then, each of my siblings and I had specific ideas in mind and were fairly demanding about what we wanted (4 adults who all have their own taste/thoughts = a lot of discussion about what to do or not do). Erin stayed up-beat and had great recommendations when people got stuck for poses or couldn't agree on what to do. Finally, she did a great job touching up the photographs for small errors such a bra strap showing or puffy under-eyes in the close-up photographs. I would recommend her to anyone looking to get a family photo-shoot. She has the perfect attitude for handling demanding people and she gets great shots.

We decided to go to Steven Wu after checking out his yelp reviews and made a few inquiries through…read moreemails and phone calls, and we are very happy with the experience. Over the phone, steven took time to get to know you and your story, try to get a sense of what kinda pictures/portrait you are looking for and record your story through the lens. We did both city hall wedding and a private 2 hours outdoor shooting on Long island. As always, he arrived early ( earlier than us). City Hall Wedding For most couples, it's prob. their first time, so having a wedding photographer who is patient and experienced with the process definitely ease a lot of the stress. I remember Steven kinda walk me through the process over the phone before the court wedding date, giving your tips that actually helped a lot. The actually "ceremony" is quick, but sometimes the wait can be a little long, he really takes time to capture each moment for you along each step of the process. Outdoor Shooting I told Steven that I love nature, and I like artsy/cool pictures. Steven suggested morning/evening time where the light has a lot of variety. For me, he is sort of an impressionist, trying to capture beauty throughout the changing light. He is creative, and also open for suggestions. We loved our pictures. Notes: Pictures in this review were downsized, and I changed a little contrasts and light (so you can't see our faces). Ask Steven for some portfolio work, which you can get a better sense of his styles (and maybe some pose ideas).

Steven Wu is an incredibly talented photographer! My S.O. and I made a trip with our family (we…read morelive in California) to New York over the summer in May. It was my S.O.'s first trip and my millionth time to NYC. Our family had already decided that we were getting engaged and having our engagement party this upcoming November. I wanted to make this trip memorable, as it was his first trip, so we decided to do our engagement photos in NYC! I researched photographers almost everyday for a month when I stumbled upon Steven and his amazing reviews! We don't regret hiring Steven! He was absolutely amazing! We had been together for 6 years and we never did any type of photo shoot together. Our shoot was on a Friday morning in Grand Central Station and then in Central Park. Imagine a typical Friday morning at Grand Central. It is very, very, very busy and packed. We met up with Steven there and he asked us to go stand in the middle, of what seemed like thousands of people, and go pose. Needless to say, we felt SO awkward doing that. The second Steven started talking to us, we got so comfortable. The whole time we were with Steven, we only noticed him and each other. He made us totally forget how nervous we were and made us forget about the hundreds of people walking by and staring at us. I recall him saying he was in technology or something before he started doing photography but I swear, he must have some training in psychology because he like hypnotized us into feeling so calm and comfortable. Once he started clicking, we were so calm and at peace. We just focused on each other and the hilarious conversations we were having with Steven. Gosh, he kept us so entertained & happy! He truly is such an amazing man!!! I researched photographers for a whole month and am so glad I found Steven! I couldn't imagine a better photographer. And as far as the pictures go, they turned out AMAZING!!! For our first ever photo shoot, they were the most beautiful pictures I have ever seen! NY has such a special place in my heart and I'm so pleased that Steven was the one who captured my S.O. and I's first trip there! I would very highly recommend Steven to anyone who is looking to engagement pictures, family photos, party or wedding photography, anything and everything! You will not regret hiring him!

From the initial email, to the phone call to the emails back and forth prior to our photoshoot, Pri was patient, understanding and took in our requests and thoughts as well. On the day of the shoot, which we chose a nice comfortable hotel room, Pri's team did a great job making my wife look really pretty based on our requests. We felt 110% comfortable in taking our photos as Pri has an ability and energy to keep us going for the 3 to 4 hours of the photoshoot The pictures that came out were really good (hard time choosing) and Pri also was generous in the number of photos that she provided for our choosing. We will recommend her and her team for their absolute level of good service, and great patience and understanding.

We got our photos back in a timely manner and nearly every photo we received felt like it deserved to be shared.

I had the great pleasure of doing a portrait session with Ginny yesterday, and the experience was…read moretop notch from start to finish! Her studio is a beautiful space - tranquil and welcoming. The session itself was easy and fun. I felt completely comfortable (not typical when I'm having my photo taken). Ginny played good music, directed my poses, and made me laugh.

Ginny Filer Thomas is truly an expert! She did head shots for me (first ever!). I retired at the…read moreend of January after 32 years in the Federal Government service. I started my own consulting business and needed head shots. I remembered that she was in the neighborhood, and I wanted to support her since she had previously offered free head shots for those who had been fired from the Federal Government. From reach out to final pics the process was easy and convenient. I had two different "looks" so I have already been able to give the two companies that I am working with different head shots. I'll use the other shots for speaking engagements etc. I HIGHLY recommend Ginny for your photo needs/wants.
