I honestly had no idea what to expect when working with a professional photographer but her service was exceptional. She's super friendly, easy-going, efficient, and communicative. Everything went unbelievably smoothly. We had Elyana for 2 hours during our elopement and she made it so fun and easy to be in front of a camera. She provided a lot of much-needed direction and our session went by so quickly and smoothly. She even helped grab my veil when I forgot it in my suite! I'm not photogenic so I was nervous about looking like a total derp after many wonderful vendors had put so much work into my hair, makeup, dress, and florals... But her artistic sense and prompting really made for some amazing pictures. She works fast! Sneak peeks and full gallery were received well before their promise dates. Granted, it probably helped that we only had a 2 hour elopement session, but the speedy turnaround time is super appreciated nonetheless. The one struggle I have from working with her is trying to pick which beautiful images will be displayed in our home. Thank you so much for these photos that we will cherish forever!

I came across Elyana searching for a photographer in Pasadena where my husband and I were thinking…read moreof doing a court house wedding. Since it would be something very small and intimated there was no need to plan it with months or years in advance. I contacted Elyana a month prior to our wedding date which is when my husband and I started planning everything. Elyana was quick to respond and since it would be on a Thursday she was luckily available. About a week after our call my husband and I had a change of plans and we no longer wanted to get married in Pasadena. I came across San Juan Capistrano Mission and I immediately knew that would be the place I wanted to elope. However, after doing some research I found out that you cannot elope inside, it's only available for photography session. Regardless, that was the place I wanted my pictures in. I came up with a plan to get married at a courthouse not too far from there and then have Elyana take the pictures there. I explain to her the change of plans and she was quickly onboard. I always had a vision of how I would want our pictures to turn out. This was very important to us since we were not having a wedding and the pictures would be one of the biggest memories aside from having our close family and friends at the courthouse witnessing our union. I had briefly explain to Elyana in the very beginning that I wanted a chic vibe (I didn't know at that time but later I found out the style I liked was a bit more editorial). I sent one single picture to Elyana about a week before just to give her an idea of what I envisioned. AND SHE FLAWLESSLY DELIVERED. My husband and I are SO extremely happy with the pictures. I am in awe of the work she created. She understood what I was looking for and made it happen. She worked her magic and was so very sweet. Her energy and charisma made our day that much more special. THANK YOU Elyana, you are so talented and amazing!!!

Back in May, I scheduled an audition for the Groundlings improv curriculum. However, my challenge…read morewas that I did not have an up to date headshot. Discovering that my "go to" photographer had a conflict and others were too much of a distance during evening hours (read traffic). A friend connected me with Jerri on my short notice request for headshots. Within a few hours of our phone conversation, Jerri was able to accommodate my dilemma and we were taking headshots. Less than an hour after the shoot I had two awesome jpegs which were attached to my acting resume and presented to David, who ran the audition. Three days later I was informed that I was accepted into the Groundlings core curriculum. This success could not have been possible without her availability, responsiveness and keen eye behind the lens. I highly recommend Jerri as a professional photographer.

They even came with us to the venue for a pre-walkthrough to scope out some potential spots. The day of, all we had to do was let them direct traffic. They know where best to stand, how best to pose, what the best lighting is, etc. During the ceremony and beyond, they captured our best moments without being intrusive in the slightest. The turnaround time for our photos was very short, and they came out better than we could ask for. A quick note on both Jose and Lindsay - they are a great duo and are a great example of what a good marriage should be. This kind of positive, radiant energy will always be contagious and is reflected in their work.

Two years apart, and both sessions were equally beautiful, fun, and everything I could have hoped for. What sets Janice apart isn't just her incredible eye for a photo - it's how genuinely present and thoughtful she is with my whole family. She was extremely patient and gentle with my newborn, and made my two year old feel completely at ease by leaning right into all the toys she kept eagerly showing off. Watching that connection unfold was honestly one of my favorite parts of the session. She even welcomed our two dogs without missing a beat! Having everything done in the comfort of my own home made it that much more special, personal, and stress-free. We absolutely loved having these milestone moments captured in our own space, surrounded by all the things that make our family ours. If you're looking for someone to document this fleeting, irreplaceable season of life with care, artistry, and a whole lot of heart, look no further than Chasing Hiromi. These are photos I will cherish forever. Thank you, Janice :)
