Our family photoshoot with Lena was incredible! Leading up to our session, Lena gave us helpful…read moresuggestions on what to wear, how to keep our little one happy and engaged, and what we should expect during the shoot. Having a two year old, we were nervous with how he would do with the photoshoot (you never know the mood of a two year old) but Lena made the whole process so much fun! She had our son laughing and having the best time, and we can see his happiness in the pictures. She made all of us feel comfortable and natural and we left feeling so excited to see how the photos turned out -- We had a feeling they would be good since Lena made it such a good time, but we were still stunned by how beautiful they were. We are so happy! We will definitely be regular customers of Lena!

I can not rate Nicole high enough. I didn't even know it was possible to do the magic with photos…read morethat she has done for our large family. We have 7 grandkids with 6 of them 2yo and under. Nightmare, right? No, she even switched faces so that every kid was looking at camera AND smiling!!!!!! Miraculous. Adding to her technical talent, she was so warm, understanding, flexible, and responsive. I really believe she is driven by a desire to really bring others joy thru creating beautiful memories of a moment in time in her photos.

Genevieve was our wedding photographer at The Sanctuary. Our venue recommended her and we are so…read morethankful because she knew our venue inside and out. She was so organized and helpful the days leading up to our wedding. She created a timeline for us, called us whenever we had questions, and gave great advice. She truly is an expert in her field! When we got our photos back, I noticed that a hanger ribbon/strap was hanging out of my dress in some of the photos. I asked Genevieve if there was any way to photoshop it out and she happily did it right away. She was truly a magician editing the strap out- I can't even tell it was there! My family and I are in the process of picking out pictures to print from our wedding and the hardest part is choosing which ones are our favorites! Genevieve took the most breathtaking shots of us. Every time we open up our online gallery, it takes us both back to our wedding day that we will treasure forever. She captured our personalities and every essence of our special day. You will be SO HAPPY that you chose Genevieve to capture your most special moments- she truly is so talented and we are so blessed we found her!

I want to start by saying I have never been "camera shy" but that was until I had my first…read moreprofessional photography session! I had heard about Genevieve Hansen through a few friends that had all used her and she came highly recommended! So I thought I would reach out and see if she was available to help me with a little surprise for my fiancé as she has always wanted to get professional photos! Genevieve was more than happy to help me figure everything out, help with multiple great locations that I could pick from, and not to mention we showed up late to our first photo session! Genevieve saw from minute 1 that my fiancé and I were brushing off being irritated that we made each other late and trying to make the whole surprise happen. She instantly brought up that we should take a break and reschedule when we can be more relaxed and genuinely happy! That is unheard of these days for a business professional to place her business on hold to ensure for the best possible outcome! So, here comes round 2 and we are back and ready to roll... Turns out that when I am put on the spot for photos I am not as photogenic as I once thought! I was nervous! I felt awkward as I wasn't use to having to "pose" for the photos. By the third photo taken, I had completely forgot that I was in a photo session! Genevieve had me talking and laughing and explaining our lives. It took me a couple weeks to realize how amazing she was at making me feel very comfortable in a situation that I at first did not! Then when we received the photos back, we were stunned! She was able to capture our natural happiness, even though we could be irritated at the first go around, to seeing the photos she was able to take we both realized how amazing life is and how blessed we are! ALL from seeing both of us smile in the photos! Genevieve is wonderful to work with!

We had never considered a doula for the birth of our daughter but my midwife recommended we think…read moreabout it suggested we try a doula-photographer. She recommended Rivkah and my husband and I couldn't be happier with the decision! As a doula Rivkah had several prenatal and postpartum visits with us and went over everything from birthing positions, breastfeeding, emotional support, tips for my husband, and so much more. She was available via phone and text for all my questions and checked in with us regularly. As photographer she was superb! Having someone take such intimate photos as those that occur during childbirth can be intimidating but Rivkah made me feel so comfortable that I honestly didn't realize she was there for the majority of the time (with the shots she got it's hard to imagine!). The images she captured perfectly reflected the intensity, power, and intimacy of those hours. I highly recommend her and look forward to working with her again in the future.

WOW! Let's just start with wow. Rivkah is amazing! I had never had professional photo's done for…read moreour family of 7, yes 7 ! And Rivkah was more than enthusiastic to work with us. From scheduling, to the actual shoot Rivkah was sweet, professional and extremely patient. Rivkah picked two beautiful locations that were the perfect setting for our active family. My son climbed trees and my daugters picked flowers while she quietly took photos and captured these precious moments. I just got a sneek peak at some of our photos and I'm just over the moon happy happy happy with the photos thus far. My kids are forever friends with Rivkah and my one daughter even refused to move photo locations unless she was holding Rivkahs hand, also known to my kids as "lollipop"! :) If you want someone who will treat you like family, who will work with your family even when your kiddos get cranky and uncooperative, Self Image Photography is absolutely who you want! With Rivkah you are getting a kind, knowledgeable, artistic photographer who know's the mommy struggle is real and helps you capture some pretty amazing moments with her magical camera. I can't say enough about Self Image Photography, if you're even kind of considering getting a family photo or photos of your children done just book with Rivkah you absolutely won't be disappointed.

The same things like lighting or oh that background is gonna look great. She was right. Every picture pf my son turned put fantastic. I could tell that my son was a little nervous at first she put him at ease immediately. She was easy-going and fun to be around. I recommend her for any photos that you might need to taken. Her prices are very reasonable and her quality is top notch. Thank you Casey for making senior photos such a great experience.

Thank you Ariel for being so flexible, and thank you for capturing our family photos…read more We were in Mesa for a tournament and I was looking for a photographer in the area to take our family photos. We were meeting our son who is stationed in South Carolina and us in Hawaii, so it meant a lot for me to find the right family photographer. I instantly jumped on Yelp and read through reviews of the top photographers. I chose Live Laugh and I was not disappointed. Ariel was flexible with our schedule after rescheduling once. I loved that she had a location list to choose from especially because I didn't know the area. Thank you Ariel and thank you for capturing my loved ones all together! Best photos ever! Aloha~

His lighting setup is great, he knows exactly how to position your head, your chin, how to adjust your smile just a little more or less, he knows how to touch up the photos just enough to get rid of redness but not enough to make it look fake. It's a great headshot, and I updated my LinkedIn, Business Facebook and Instagram, my Gmail picture etc A great headshot is worth the $, you can take one yourself or take an iPhone picture, or you can invest a couple hundred dollars and take it seriously and get a professional to do it for you. The headshot is the first impression, what is that worth? It's priceless. Great job Duane

Daniel Kim recently shot my wedding in California and he is AMAZING! I was referred him by a friend…read moreand I really grateful I found such a talented photographer for my wedding and engagement shoot. His work really speaks for itself but here's my review anyway: SHOOTS IN FILM: I honestly didnt know what this meant or why this was good but upon seeing the actual pictures I realized that the film ones' colors really popped and made the pictures that much more beautiful. Apparently most photographers who shoot in film charge a kazillion x the price so I count myself lucky for finding a film photographer in my budget. GIVES GREAT DIRECTION: My now-husband and I were worried we had no idea how to pose and didn't have a list of prepared poses going in but daniel was great at telling us exactly where to stand, where to put our hands, etc. and made us feel super comfortable throughout the session. PROFESSIONAL: He's super accommodating and flexible. He's also very honest-Being the crazy indecisive bridezilla, I of course waited until the last week before I asked him to add more hours to our agreed upon contract for the wedding day (and of course pay a little extra for the additional time). Day of, he tells me he re-read the contract and apparently the hours were already included and I didn't owe him anything! Not only was that a great wedding day surprise but he was super honest about the whole thing and could've easily just accepted the check. So.. on top of being talented and nice, he's just an awesome person all around. :) Sidenote: He lives in AZ but it was still totally worth flying him out for engagement shoot and wedding in the bay area. He's done a lot out here so it felt like he knew the area better than we did when it came to choosing a shoot site!
