I brought some rescue dogs to get photographed…read moreand was kind of nervous because we haven't been able to get any great pictures of them in the past. Upon entering, you immediately are greeted by Slyvaine. She is warm and hospitable and she didn't even hesitate to show love to our rescue dogs. The studio itself is clean, the couch in the waiting room is comfy, and the walls are covered with dogs and family portraits. It's amazing. David, the photographer, is so patient and amazing at what he does! He is quick to get a great shot and the dogs loved him. Aside from the amazing staff and amazing photos we got out of this experience, they give back to local rescues! I mean who doesn't want to get an amazing photo of/with their furry family member and support a local animal rescue at the same time?? Thank you Dogma! Truly a great experience!

Wow... The Salty Studio is truly something special!…read more From the very beginning, Katelin made the entire experience feel warm, inviting, and thoughtfully personalized. She took the time to really understand the vision I had for my photoshoot and the types of moments I wanted captured, which made everything feel so intentional and meaningful. I booked a session for my older pup and my daughter (and even jumped in for a few photos myself!), and Katelin was absolutely incredible with both of them. She was so patient, especially with my fur baby, and so natural with my daughter--guiding her with poses that fit her age, making her laugh, and keeping things fun and light the entire time. What really stood out to me was how unrushed the session felt. Unlike other photoshoots where you feel like you're on the clock, Katelin created a relaxed environment where we could explore different backdrops, props, and ideas without any pressure. It made such a difference. She has an amazing eye and such a creative vision--it's clear she's incredibly talented and experienced. We even got to see a few glimpses of the photos during the session, and they were SO cute! I also saw some of her past work printed, and the quality is absolutely impeccable. This wasn't just a photoshoot--it was an experience. I'm already so excited to see the final images and would highly recommend Katelin to anyone looking to capture special moments, especially with family or pets. She's truly amazing!

Our family has worked with Katelin at The Salty Dog Studio for over five years, and she has…read morecaptured so many fun memories with our two Pomeranians and now our newborn baby. Katelin has an amazing eye for photography, makes every session feel comfortable and fun, and is always such a pleasure to work with. She's also been incredibly flexible and accommodating with our schedule and needs over the years. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet or family photographer!

Fabulous all around, the communication and quality of work are outstanding.

As such, Raymond and Charlie have seen me experience an unusually wide range of emotions within the short amount of time we've spent together, and they have been nothing short of fantastic throughout both experiences. The photos of your pets will come out beyond match. I couldn't recommend more highly!

My husband and I had Moses & Eva take photos of us with our 3 dogs (our family!) a few weeks ago at…read moreEl Dorado Park West (the free side) in Long Beach and we received our photos about 2 weeks later. Moses & Eva were very friendly and came prepared to photograph our dogs. Honestly, it has been quite a challenge for us to take care of all our dogs and so you can imagine the difficulty it would to get all of them to all look at the camera at the same time and look naturally happy. But they did it! While Moses took photos, Eva would clap, call our dogs names, make sounds, use a squeak toy and so on to get their attention. And when Eva was taking photos, Moses would do the same. Moses & Eva were very easy to talk to and helped put us at ease during the shoot. They scoped out some great backdrops around the large park and were very relaxed and incredibly patient and friendly. Since they also provide dog care services, they are used to interacting with all kinds of dogs (and other pets I am sure), which makes the best pet photographers! Especially in our case, the more dogs you have, the harder it would be to get everyone to look at the camera at the same time. I am so thrilled to have some great photos for our annual winter holiday greeting card this year. This holiday card is going to be even more special this year because each of our 3 dogs are in the same photo with us (our 1st family photo) and I have both Moses & Eva to thank! I HIGHLY recommend Moses & Eva if you need photos with you and your pets. They are highly reliable and will get you some amazing shoots.

My Dog and Mo was an absolute GODSEND for me! I actually hired them to dog sit- I can't tell you…read morehow hard it is for me to trust someone with my "baby"! I was having problems with the sitters I was using and was in a true bind. Thankfully, I found MD&M and they are the best! I am a flight attendant and had a trip coming up so they came over right away to meet my dog. You can tell immediately that they are true dog people...and so can your dog! They are so friendly and professional~ and my pup loved them. I didn't even know they did photography at first~ When I was out flying around they kept me updated with texts and pictures of my dog. It was great- I'm always slightly anxious when Ieave him, but getting the updates made me feel a lot better! And as the pictures came, I realized that these were some of the best pictures I had ever seen of my dog- and this was using their phone! I mean, they really captured his personality- every photo was fantastic. Like I said, I didn't know they did the photography, so I asked them if they had ever considered it as they took amazing pictures! Anyhow- it was no surprise when they said that they had a photography side of their business. I can only imagine what they can do with a real camera and not just a cell phone~ lol! They are really good people too. I got injured at work and they are kind enough to come by and bathe my dog as I am unable to right now. What's really nice about that is he gets SO EXCITED when he sees them- he spins in circles and acts like a maniac! And he's no spring chicken at 12 years old! As dog sitters go I couldn't want anything more- the communication is fantastic and they take GREAT care of my dog. I trust them completely. I know this is for their photogrophy business but have to share this- my dog gets bummed out when I fly and doesn't want to eat. I told them about this and not to worry too much. Well- they didn't like that he wasn't eating so on the 2nd night, Mo sat down and hand fed my dog. What more can I say?? They are good people and truly great at what they do. Look no further- you CAN NOT go wrong with these guys!

I can't say enough good things about Ashley and Dog Inspired Photography! I was a little anxious…read moregoing into the photo shoot since my dog is reactive and can be pretty nervous around new people and unfamiliar situations. But Ashley was incredible--calm, patient, and completely understanding of her needs from the moment we arrived. They took the time to let my dog warm up at her own pace, never rushed anything, and knew exactly how to work around her sensitivities to make her feel safe and comfortable. The best part is that the photos turned out so beautifully! We ordered several framed photos and an album from our photo shoot - I love how they all turned out. Ashley truly has a gift for photography and for dogs, I highly recommend doing a photoshoot with her!

Chris has to be one of the most unprofessional persons I have ever experienced. He ruined my…read moresisters wedding photos and literally single handed held up the entire day from all of the completely unnecessary photos he felt compelled to shoot. Had he not held up the wedding party, the ceremony would have started on time. ( now I know why he told us he doesn't get along with wedding planners...) It's because he doesn't have a clue as to what matters and what needs to be done as far as photos... Had the ceremony started on time, we would have had more time to do all of the things we wanted to do that evening. That being said, we didn't realize why we had so little time until the end of the night and the days following when we got to chat about the events... My sister was so excited to get her pictures... that is until she got the actual email... can you say horrible? Talk about quite literally ruining your wedding... After all of the photos he took, we all for sure thought he would have got things that were important... family, husband with mom, wife with her dad, etc. Nope. not one picture of anything that actually mattered to all of us was taken... but instead, photos of what looks like the camera at an angle ( which by the way, over 90% of the photos were taken at an angle) of very random things. Some of the photos were not edited at all ( or they were and it only goes to show how little Chris knows about photography). My sisters husband asked for Chris to organize the photos; so they could pick out the ones they would have cropped and major edit work done to... that's when Chris showed us all just how unprofessional he really is... Now, you would think that your upset customers who are not happy with your finished product should be spoke to kindly and probably with a little tact...Not, Chris is not only unapologetic for how badly the photos have come out, but is now making threats to not give any of the proofs to the family at all. I highly suggest using another photographer if you want your memories to be professionally captured. Update Not only did my sister win her court case, Chris and his rude wife hired a lawyer and appealed the case...only for another judge to side with my sister and her husband!! Also, yelp (CM photography) and you will find his old page.

Most recently, she did a shoot for my 12 year old pittie and my two belgian malinois. I traveled from the San Francisco Bay Area just to be able to work with her again. She did an incredible job capturing some beautiful memories of my older girl, and some shots of my whole pack. I couldn't be happier with the photos, and I can't wait to have some prints made for my home! Alicia's talent is beyond compare, and I am so blessed to have had the chance to work with her again! Thank you so much Alicia for everything you have done for me and my pack!!!

My husband and I got Alicia's engagement/holiday family session which was supposed to be a 30…read moreminute session as a family. We was absolutely amazing with our two dogs, 1 male Havanese who is 5 years old named Mac and a female havanese-poodle mix, Maizie. They are both pretty good with me and my husband when off leash in a busy area but they are pretty against paparazzi and usually we can barely get a good photo of them on our own. Alicia was awesome she picked out this great park in Santa Monica and even though we were 15 minutes late due to traffic coming up from Redondo Beach she was already set up and done scouting and ready to shoot! She made both me and my husband feel very comfortable for the shoot, especially since we are extremely awkward together in photos... and more importantly Alicia made our pups feel SUPER at home. Our little Maizie is a stray and is usually super scared of strangers but she didn't even bark at Alicia at all and was even open to letting Alicia pet her while we were doing solos with Mac. She was also really great at getting the dog's attention and she was very hands-on and active trying to get the best shot, even laying in the grass or on her knees with her 'knee pads' LOL. On top of how much fun we had with our pups, Alicia shot with us for over an hour instead of the 30 minute package we paid for AND she got our best photos to us within the day! It was an amazing experience! We honestly can't wait to shoot with her again, but this time probably her doggy lifestyle package so we can just have great photos of our pups playing around together! We highly recommend her to anyone who has a fur baby :)
