A truly great experience every time! I absolutely love this place. I've taken my 21-year-old, my 19-year-old, and now my 17-year-old here for their senior pictures, and each experience has been wonderful. It's not just perfect for senior photos, but for any special occasion. The staff is always friendly, professional, and welcoming, making everyone feel comfortable. Their prices are reasonable, and I really appreciate how flexible and accommodating they are. I highly recommend this place and will continue coming back for future milestones! read more

Liz was super helpful and explained everything in a friendly manner. Helped my daughter feel very at ease. Very professional shoot and incredibly friendly. read more

The people are so helpful and nice, studio itself is nice, clean and organized! Will highly recommend. Will come back.

I absolutely love this place! They took my senior pictures in 2005, my daughter's class of 2025, and my son's class of 2026 and the blessing in it all is that each one of us was chosen to be part of their social media promo. Full circle moments like this don't just happen. To be featured in 2005 and then watch my children be chosen decades later... that's nothing but GOD! read more

Very great experience Everyone treated us well and pictures were very nice. Employees showed great hospitality

Friendly and very helpful when trying to decide which package to choose. Would recommend to everyone.

so professional! I would highly recommend this studio for all your photo needs! check them out!

Great and fast service! Would Recommend coming here!! There are many different options for photos, which is really great.

Sandra was at the front desk. She was super nice and explained everything well. It was a good experience!

totally misleading this place is a rip off the package shows a cap and gown photo once you arrive they argue that you only get a year book choice this is not what the flyer given to the students advertise , absolutely disappointed. Be prepared to pay an extra $100.00 if you want a cap and gown photo choice. read more

Great service!! Vibe was fun, amazing pictures. Lots to choose from, great variety. I would definitely come again!

Liz at the front desk was welcoming and made sure that my daughter was well taken care of for her senior photo session. Appreciate the personalized touch! read more

My review is too detailed to load please read full review I DO NOT RECOMEND this place at all!!they take your money and do not give you what is yours and what is most ridiculous is that they make you go above and beyond to correct their mistakes instead of just apologizing and making things right by providing what you paid for. DO NOT GO HERE AT ALL THERE ARE FAR BETTER STUDIOS TO CHOOSE FROM AND IF THE SCHOOL HAS A CONTRACT WITH THEM ASK THEM TO READ THE REVIEWS ON WHO THEY ARE DEALING WITH!!! THE GET A NGATIVE STAR FROM ME Please see pics for the full review. My name is Rita Magdaleno and I am writing this review because I am appalled with this photo studio services. My son took his senior photos here on 02/01/2025 and upon arrival everyone seemed to be great, a little overly nice (which now I realize that they act like that so they can trick and confuse people into getting services that they don't really understand, need or want.) Please, please read the full review on that i made. I could not load it because either was tok long so i had to upload with a picture. It is 4 pages long. But please read. These people are scammers and should not be hired by any school. read more

See all

The people here were super helpful and amazing! I came in with many questions and they all answered them with ease and provided me with an amazing experience. would definitely recommend 10/10!! read more

Highly recommended this place! Pictures look so good and professional. Loved them !!!

Pleased with sons portraits. Always a smooth process and a pleasure to come here for my son's portraits.

DO NOT hire this studio for your school or group photos. There's a reason they're below a 2/5 star rating. Multiple people at my kids school were told they did not pay their fee for their photos when they absolutely did. They did not give out receipts after payment so now there is no way to get this issue resolved. They're just telling all of us that our kids didn't turn the money in. What a terrible way to conduct business and to rip kids and families off. To deprive them of getting their special photos to remember their year and friends by is disheartening. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND FINDING ANOTHER COMPANY FOR YOUR PHOTOS! read more

Horrible pictures & service, especially Liz. Not explaining the packages & being rude, paid $165 for sitting only, poor customer service. Recommend to get very basic package & go somewhere professional for your senior pictures. read more

Nice pictures! Amazing customer service! Manager is awesome super nice lady. Got my picture taken fast.

All the staff were really nice and helpful, only waited in line for less than 5 minutes to take my cap and gown pictures. I loved how I came out on the pictures! read more

If I could give this place negative stars I would. They came to my sister and daughter school to take their senior pictures. Both paid $80 each and their being told they didn't pay that amount. No receipts were given to them they just took the money. We NEVER Recieved THE PICTURES PLEASE BE CAREFUL we did not pay $80 for a year book picture. I will as well call the school because what they are doing isn't right!!'n read more

walked in for my senior pictures, Liz is ,awesome and the sweetest will be coming back for sure !!!

I was very pleased with Mayra, who assisted my daughter today. Thank you for going the extra step to make sure that her hair was in the right place read more

This company worked with my son's middle school for Graduation photos and yearbooks. I ordered online and ahead of time. By the time they graduated, I still had not received my order. I did see that they had a stand with yearbooks and photos from them on sale. I made my way to them and showed them my order number but they refused to acknowledge me and provide me with my order. They asked me to call the company and follow up. When I called the next day they said I had to pick up my order in Gardena. Why? It was set to be delivered and it was ordered on time. I refused to do that and asked for a refund. This place needs to get better organized. read more

Today,I went into the studio and this lovely lady with glasses(sorry didn't get her name)helped me pick my teens cap and gown and yearbook photos and put it in the computer so I can order it.She is polite and efficient and patient,gave me time and helped me immensely.Thank you.Really excited to pick up my kids pics in December.Highly recommend buddy photo package. read more

Fotorama Studio - Session Photography Near Me - Gardena, California

Fotorama has the reputation for being the best photo company in the Los Angeles/ Greater LA County area for good reason. Every staff, every interaction follows their principle of customer obsession and satisfaction. Having worked with Fotorama for 10+ years, I can attest to their hard working manner and production of top tier quality products. Every year Fotorama is always willing to accommodate and cater to my ever changing needs. From school ID, sports, senior/graudation picture to multiple event photos, the owner Sharon, is always going above and beyond to give us the best experience possible. It is not an exaggeration when I tell you I have never heard the word "No" from Sharon. I've had last minute schedule changes accepted, short notice events booked, and even received my school's Panorama pictures turned around in just 24 hours. It is an extreme understatement to say that Fotorama under Sharon's leadership can do just about anything. The highest quality service and beautifully done photos is what to expect when working with them. Thank you Fotorama for such an amazing experience, it's always a pleasure working with you! read more

My son took his cap and gown box picture a few weeks ago. At the shooting, the photographer showed me the photos. There was a glare from the light in the upper right corner. I asked the photographer if he could re-take the photos so that the glare wouldn't be there. He told me, "Don't worry about it. They'll fix it when they develop them." Imagine my surprise when I arrived to pick up the photos and the glare was still there. My son is autistic. He has been WAITING for this specific photo because he loves video games and anime. I decorated the box with an anime poster, and he pretended to play a video game. I've been waiting for this photo so that I can finally get his high school announcements printed and mailed off. I contacted the studio, and employees told me that they do not photo shop... like it was MY fault the glare was on the photo. I have left messages for the owner, Sharon Lee, and sent her emails. I am so upset. read more

Fotorama Studio - Session Photography Near Me - Gardena, California

Worst $160 I spent in my life . I don't leave terrible reviews but this is just sad . And I'm sad for coming here . It's been one month haven't heard from them I finally found time to go up there and I had to pick the pictures I wanted of my baby son felt kind of rushed bit the lady that helped but just the process. I was told that it took long because they don't do pictures of babies it was more just for the schools. Well if that's the case why take my money When I met the owner when we originally came she made me feel comfortable and confident but the ball was definitely dropped . Also owner told me I would get 4 poses I was told I could only choose one then after complaining she let me have 3 . I don't know I'm not happy it was my babies first pictures first experience what a bummer . Just the lack of not trying to make me any more happier by saying they are busy with the print instead of saying we will get on it asap is appalling . Not to mention none of the pictures were like awww but that's on my baby not them I guess . I'm just sad worst money I've ever spent. read more

Fotorama Studio - SMH ! - Session Photography Near Me - Gardena, California

my photographer josh was so good!!! he was very professional and i feel super confident on how my photos look. definitely recommend coming here for your portraits. read more

My son, senior portraits are the worst quality ever. I have an older son where his school chose a different company by the name of White Studios. Now that is quality. We are very unhappy with this companies work. I also received the wrong order. They ended up mailing what was owed, but again bad quality it took about three weeks to get someone to help me with the missing images. I also placed my order back in mid February and it took about four months to get it back even though the turnaround time said 3 to 4 weeks. When I was able to contact someone, the staff is rude and they don't know how to make things better. I paid a lot of money for some pictures that I could have taken myself. Another thing is the senior portraits were taken with a black cap and gown, and they will be graduating in navy blue cap and gown with a yellow stole. If I could, I wouldn't even give them a star, but in order for me to rate, I have to give them at least one star. School's out there don't use this company. I was able to speak to her school and they are looking into changing the company they will be using for the following year as a lot of parents agree. read more

Do not come here for your school yearbook needs. Our yearbook advisor just told us that our yearbooks are not going to be here for our promotion parade. The school is on a tight budget and ordered a few more to sell to break even. Keeping costs down she tirelessly did this for the kids, and to hear that they won't receive their yearbooks on time and at a a possible loss. ‍ Not to mention the endless complaints I have personally heard from the students and parents regarding the student portraits. They are so expensive, too. What a shame. read more

Horrible horrible horrible! Pictures were taken in January. Emailed numerous times and they really suck as far as communication goes along with doing ANYTHING in a timely manner except taking a payment. Pictures were not able to picked because they literally didn't put the correct options available for me to pick so they took it upon themselves to pick the pose they wanted to pick! Really a horrible experience and we had to go through them due to the schools request. Other one star reviews are not exaggerating in any way! Take note to how many one star reviews this company has. 2.5 overall rating is actually a higher rating than the service they provide! Horrible! read more

I would give zero stars if that was an option. LAUSD should not use this photo studio. They are completely unprofessional in every aspect. They have the absolute worst customer service, and do literally nothing to make things right. Our order was messed up based on what a Fotorama rep advised my daughter the day of the photos. Only realized this when our order was delivered; I called and ordered the additional photos I originally wanted. I opted to have them delivered to the school. Over a month later, school is almost over and no photos. They told me they were delivered a week ago, so I send my daughter on what turns out to be a wild goose chase as her school as no photos and tells her Fotorama is unreliable (um, yep, I concur!). I call back, and now I am told the photos weren't delivered b/c they didn't have a delivery to that area recently. Then I am told the next time there is a delivery in that area they will be delivered. I remind them school is out in a week. Then they tell me it is too late for them to be delivered, making it sound like a school policy (what??), so I have to either pick them up in Gardena (!!) or pay a fee (1/3 of the price of the photos I ordered) to have them delivered. So over a month from the time I ordered, no photos, no call telling me that I need to make other arrangements, I am incorrectly told they were delivered, and then am then expected to pick them up or pay them more money to this company. Lame. read more
