This post is LONG overdue, but I wanted to share the multiple amazing experiences I had with Toni…read more She was incredibly responsive to all my questions about timing and pricing, and she managed to capture the most precious moments in our new baby's life. We had the pleasure of doing a "fresh 48" photoshoot, and thanks to her flexibility, Toni was able to come to the hospital the morning our baby was born. This gave us beautiful, priceless memories of our newborn's very first moments. In addition to the "fresh 48" shoot, I worked with Toni for announcement photos and photos with her grandparents. Each time, she spent quality time ensuring the baby was in a good mood (which was super helpful, especially when there was no feeding schedule!). She meticulously adjusted the lighting and every other detail to perfection. Toni's dedication to her craft and her patience with our little one truly set her apart. Her ability to capture these fleeting moments is a gift. Please take a look at some of her work, and if you are considering photos of your new baby, I highly recommend Toni. She is simply amazing.

I have thought about this review for a while and it's hard for me to say much more than I really…read morelove working with Toni. Her prices are incredibly reasonable but more importantly she really makes you feel comfortable. I have done 2 photo shoots with her and have 1 more on the way. My first photo shoot with her was for my solo realtor business cards. My next photo shoot included my business partner, who is a bit camera shy. Toni did an excellent job talking us through poses and giving us suggestions. Even if you feel ridiculous in a pose, you may find yourself pleasantly surprised by the outcome. When it comes to editing, she listens to your asks and makes it happen. If she doesn't know how, she'll find out. Long story short, I very much enjoy working with Toni because she makes me feel comfortable and is open to my feedback. That goes a long way when working with photographers.

I loved that the studio is completely private, so you can take your time and capture photos without feeling rushed.

I would absolutely come back and highly recommend it--10/10! One tip: if you're bringing your pup, bring an extra person to help keep them focused while you snap the photos. It makes the experience even easier!

Now that we have a Gosei grandchild, this continues to be our main album of recording memorable times in our family history. Alan is very personable and seems comfortable with any type of situation, and is known throughout the photography community, with photographs of President Biden and Governor Newsom taken during an opportune time with these dignitaries. I would like to continue our relationship with this studio located within our community and hope to see wedding pictures in the near future!

I am so grateful of the entire experience and happy with how our family photos turned out! I chose…read morethe premium holiday in-studio and outdoor package. It began with a virtual consultation with Nadine and Sofia to go over the details of the photoshoot and next steps. Since I am pregnant and also have two boys, I wanted the photoshoot to be special by capturing our growing family. We decided on a maternity and family holiday photoshoot, which included variety of backgrounds and outfits. The next step was scheduling a in-person fitting prior yo the shoot to try on a few dresses. Sofia put together a styling sheet and provided suggestions on what to wear for my family to coordinate nicely. Sofia also provided a timeline on the day of the shoot, which was very helpful. As a busy pregnant working mom, the best thing about this entire experience was getting professional hair and makeup done at the studio! Shoutout to artist Veronica for making me feel and look my best. I have done two sunrise family photoshoots in the past, and I absolutely do not have the energy, time, or desire to get ready on my own. I also had a maternity in-studio photoshoot done last year, I had to go get makeup and hair done in two different places, then drive an hour, which by then my curls were no longer holding. Not at Sachiko Studios, they will take care of you from beginning to end, and you will feel fresh. After getting hair and makeup done, we did a quick maternity photoshoot session. My family met us at the studio and we did the holiday photoshoot. The in-studio photos of our family portraits turned out lovely. For outdoor shoot, we drove to Bradbury's Bridge, which was about 15 min away. I loved the fall and natural backdrops. Having the option of doing an outdoor photoshoot was great because it captured our active kids candidly. Nadine was so great with my kids! She was able to capture my youngest looking happy and all smiles. She rewarded my oldest for being good at following directions.

Finally came to a place in my business where I felt like I needed some professional branding…read morephotos. My business is ALL me and I needed help capturing what I do to launch on my website. My photo session included hair and makeup by one of Nadine's stylists, Quendy (highly recommend!!) and wardrobe! That really helped because my closet consists of leggings and sweaters lol. We did 3 outfit changes, Nadine shot some of my products, and action shots with a model. Nadine made the whole experience very comfortable and fun for someone who is *really* shy and prefers to stay behind the camera. I love how my photos came out and excited for another photo session in the future!

We discussed and confirmed a time first, and I thought the next step was paying the deposit…read more Their logic was: you must pay the deposit first before you even have the "right" to secure the time slot. As parents, coordinating schedules for babies is not easy. We need time to confirm naps, feeding schedules, parents' availability, etc. I completely understand requiring a deposit, but I genuinely didn't expect zero flexibility after hours of communication. Normal logic would be: confirm a workable time first then pay the deposit. Their policy was: pay first then maybe continue discussing the schedule. And this is not a cheap studio either: $600 for 15 photos. For that price, I expected at least some professionalism and empathy toward families with small children. Timeline: * 2:51 PM -- discussed the time, I replied "should work" * 5:08 PM -- I officially confirmed * 5:51 PM -- they replied: "No availability anymore" I spent two hours coordinating schedules. They took one hour to reply, and the final answer was simply: "No availability." At this point, I honestly feel like some LA businesses have become way too comfortable ignoring customer experience.

We just had our family mini session with Vlove this past Sunday and had such a pleasant experience…read morethere. I highly recommend this place. The photographer took some amazing photos and made all of us felt at ease. The studio is small but has everything needed for the photoshoot. It is clean and cute. The photographer and her assistant were both very friendly. They played with our kids, had toys to attract their attention and she captured some great smiles. My daughter is super shy and it's very difficult to get her to open up. When we first entered the studio, the photographer started danced with my daughter and tried to get her loosen up. I thought that was such a kind and nice gesture. My kids told us that they had a fun time there as if everything was a game. We haven't had a professional photo shoot in years because I had a traumatizing experience with another photographer who did not show up and we were waiting in the middle of a mountain. At first I was nervous to do this photoshoot But Vlove came recommended by a friend. I'm so glad I booked the mini session and I look forward to our final edited photos !

After the session, she was super responsive and delivered the final edited photos quickly. The whole process felt smooth and thoughtful. 10/10 would recommend Shu Studio for maternity photos!
