I decided to do an early photoshoot for our future Christmas cards this year and saw that Shoott…read morehad some openings in October. This was my family's first experience with Shoott, and we had an amazing time with Lydia, the photographer in Diamond Bar. We are a family with two little children (4 years old and 20 months old), so we knew a 30-minute time slot and a location nearby would be the best for us. Lydia made the photoshoot a breeze. She was prepared and took so many great photos of us. My 20-month-old son certainly did not make the shoot easy with his tantrums, but Lydia was unfazed and was so kind throughout the shoot. Thanks to Lydia, everything felt natural and easy. The customer service was excellent as well. I had to change the time of the shoot and they made it happen! I would definitely use this service again!

Shoott Orange County Please let me preface this by saying…read morethat Sharon was very kind and nice to work with. However, we were extremely concerned about the lack of attention to safety and the apparent lack of flexibility to adjust the location when the conditions were clearly unsuitable for a maternity shoot. The location selected for our maternity shoot was a beach, and unfortunately, the specific area we were directed to was not a safe or practical location for a maternity session. There was essentially no sand or stable walking area--only water and rocks. The rocks were extremely slippery, and both the photographer and we were repeatedly slipping. Thankfully, my husband was there to hold me up and carefully assist me with every step so that I would not fall. I even had to stop at one point to check whether the photographer was okay after she slipped herself. What is particularly concerning is that we were not simply uncomfortable after spending a long period of time in the heat. We were already sweating by the time the first photo was taken. The photographer had us walk to what appeared to be the furthest and least safe part of the beach first, rather than beginning in a more accessible area or taking a moment to assess the conditions and determine whether another part of the beach would be more appropriate. I had never been to this side of the beach before, so I arrived early specifically to make sure we were in the right place. However, the photographer was not there when we arrived, which meant we could not even confirm that we were at the correct location. We ultimately saw her walking toward us only a few minutes before the scheduled shoot. When we asked about the conditions, we were told, "This happens sometimes, I didn't know it was going to be high tide." Later, the situation was described as "the memory part of it." That was particularly concerning to us because this was not simply an unconventional or adventurous setting--it was genuinely unsafe, especially for someone who is pregnant. The fact that the photographer was reachable by phone and was available to conduct the session also makes this more frustrating. There was ample opportunity to communicate about the conditions, explore another portion of the beach, or pivot to a safer area before proceeding. This was a large beach, and we believe there should have been an effort to assess whether another part of the location was safer and more suitable. The heat was another significant concern. We completely understand that weather conditions cannot be controlled. However, there was a heat warning that day, and the business's policy states that when conditions are sunny, "our photographers will help find shaded areas that work" that did not happen in our experience. There was no meaningful effort to find a shaded area that was both safe and practical. Instead, we were directly in the sun, and the only shaded area we encountered was also the furthest and most dangerous area to reach. My husband was primarily being used to help block shadows rather than us being moved to a location where shade was naturally available. Again, we were sweating almost immediately, and the heat significantly affected the experience and ultimately the appearance of the photos. My husband's shirt became drenched in sweat from carefully supporting me as we navigated the rocks, my hair became wet and fell flat, and my makeup had essentially sweated off you can actually see this in the photos. We understand that no one can control the weather. Our concern is that the conditions were apparent from the beginning and that there did not appear to be an effort to adapt the session accordingly. The issue was not that it was a sunny or hot day; the issue was the decision to proceed in direct sun, on slippery rocks surrounded by water, when there was apparently an opportunity to explore a safer and more appropriate area. If clients are expected to independently assess the location, tides, and safety conditions, I would strongly suggest adding an arrival time of at least 30 minutes before the scheduled session and photos if the location if the photographer is not present to so clients have an opportunity to assess without risking a late fee and pictures of the actual location. This was, unfortunately, one of the most unpleasant photography experiences we have had. This was not an "adventure" or simply an imperfect beach day. This was a situation that was just unsafe. We strongly urge the business to give photographers clear discretion and support to make reasonable location adjustments when safety or accessibility becomes an issue, particularly for maternity sessions. A simple decision to pause, assess the tide and conditions, and move to a safer part of the same beach could have completely changed our experience.

From the moment we booked J&R Photography, we knew we were in good hands--but Jenn and Ro truly…read morewent above and beyond anything we could have imagined. Getting married on February 14, 2026 was already so meaningful to us, and somehow Jenn and Ro captured every second of it so perfectly. From the start of the day to the very last moment, they made us feel completely comfortable, calm, and honestly just able to be ourselves. Their energy is so warm and easygoing, and it made such a difference throughout the entire day. What meant the most to us was how present they were while also being so seamlessly behind the scenes. They caught everything--the big moments, the quiet in-between ones, the emotions we didn't even realize were happening. Looking back at our photos, we're blown away by how they were able to tell the full story of our day so beautifully and naturally. Jenn and Ro are not only incredibly talented, but they're truly amazing people. We feel so lucky to have had them by our side on such an important day. These are memories we'll cherish forever because of them. We truly cannot recommend J&R Photography enough!

From the engagement shoot to the end of the wedding day, Jenn and Ro were dynamic, professional, and engaging. It did not feel like photographers were even there - making photos candid and relatable. There is nothing more uncomfortable than a photographer telling you every which way how to pose and putting the camera in your face. J&R were the opposite of that. They guided and gave suggestions but also let the photographs show who we really are as a couple. Their pricing was reasonable and fair, and we recieved so many comments on our photographs. I would recommend J&R for all photograph needs. We hope we can see them again sometime soon! Thanks again Jenn and Ro!

My fiance and I recently did an engagement photo shoot with this photographer in Fort Greene, BK…read more It went well - I thought Carlos gave really great direction during the shoot and he put me and my fiance at ease. I just got back the photographs and they are lovely! Carlos has a great eye for scenery - there are a couple of shots that I was not sure would come out well (while shooting) but the results are fabulous! And I would also say the photos are great representation of who we are as a couple. Full disclosure: my fiance is not as pleased with the photos as I am, but only because he did not like the way he looked with his beard in the photos. (I happen to love my man with his beard, however. Just my preference!) Carlos is good but he will not be giving someone a shave post photo-shoot production. A tip if you decide to go with Carlos or any other photographer for a shoot like this - you should be totally comfortable with what you're wearing, your hair, etc BEFORE the photo shoot! Contact the photographer if you have any questions about attire, hair, etc. So yes, I'm very happy with what I got and recommend Carlos for your photography needs! Check him out!

Carlos photographed my engagement earlier this April. Throughout the whole process Carlos was so…read morehelpful and thoughtful - he helped to think through timing, location, and even was great in organizing family members before the big moment. The proposal took place in Washington Square Park on a busy Saturday afternoon, but Carlos and Michelle (his fiance and photography partner) were really great in keeping everything organized After the proposal we did a follow up session around the park. The pictures that came out of that 30-45 minute session turned out amazing and my finance and I were so thrilled that we had Carlos and Michelle there to professionally document everything. They were both really easy and fun to work with. The follow up after the big day was equally thoughtful and well-done. We received a really cute CD and USB drive with all of the edited pictures for us to keep (I say cute because the CD had a picture of my fiance and me printed on it, and the USB was hand-painted in a really cool way). Moreover, Carlos was consistently prompt, easy to work with, and so thoughtful before, during, and after the proposal. I would strongly recommend Carlos to anyone out there interested in a great photographer!

Well, the more I thought about it, the more I realized how much it would mean to me & my overseas family to have a video of the day. So, about 2 months before the wedding I signed a contract with GT Modern Creations with my grandfather's generous & early wedding gift. We 'met' via Skype and from the start I knew they were for us. They are a very popular duo lately and I totally see why. Gabriel was super nice, answered all of my questions and knew exactly what he was doing. Due to distance, we did our final meeting over the phone where he helped me to see that we may not have enough time for pics & to do change the timing to do the first look much earlier. That was one of the best moves we made. The whole day went so much smoother. On the day-of, Gabriel, Caritza and their assistant arrived early and were totally unobtrusive the whole day. They were all so incredibly kind and knew exactly what to do so that we finished on time. They even had us re-do walking over for the first look that way there was no one standing behind & messing up the background. They stayed until the end of the reception and captured everything. I absolutely would recommend them to others.
