Great studio experience every time! I've rented the space for two photoshoots and Chris and his team were very accommodating and helpful. Top of the line equipment and profoto strobes. I will definitely come shoot there again! Just check out a few of my photos I've taken there (see below). Thank you, Chris! @imagesbyinda http://www.imagesbyinda.com read more

Had a session yesterday and Julian was very accommodating and educating. He took the time to help me figure out the best settings for my vision because it was my first studio shoot. I booked 9AM-12PM but I was going pushing at 11:58AM that I got all my stuff and essentially ran out but I don't remember if I put the reflector back or the V-Flat boards... so I feel really bad for not double checking. But definitely an awesome experience and again, shout out to Julian for being amazing. read more

Great experience here! I came in as a model and I was very impressed with the spacious studio here. There is a makeup/hair station for the models to get ready on which is perfect because it has a nicely lit mirror. There is a nice seating area in both the main waiting area and within the actual studio. There are different color backdrops and different style lights to choose from. If you want to go with a dramatic look? They have lighting for that! If you want to try a subtle look, they have lighting for that! The owner is very nice. He and his wife greeted me and my photographer and offered us water. He also assisted my photographer with the lighting. Very attentive ownership here which is just wonderful. I had a great experience overall. I recommend renting from this studio if you need a location for your photoshoots! Parking is great as well. There should not be any struggle finding parking in the parking lots that is offered around the building. read more

Best studio in San Diego !! Who else is using profoto lights in a studio you can rent for a great price. Courtney is a master of light and can help with any situation! read more

Hendo Studios - Session Photography Near Me - San Diego, California

What can I say about Hendo Studios? I worked with Courtney as a photographer before the studio was there and he is amazing. I had a mastectomy and needed some uplifting in my life so I reached out to him for some photo sessions. He had the vision while also incorporating my ideas. He was encouraging as I am new to the photography/ modeling world. I stood there like a deer in the head lights but he talked me through it. He's studio is cozy and welcoming as well. It's beyond up to date on lighting, backdrops, and photo editing. It's located in clairemont with good parking. When you first walk in, you see a couch and some freshments. Also there is a vanity mirror for your make up/ touch ups. I am beyond impressed with this studio. read more

He has a very professional setup with lights, back-drops and works with our ideas on what we wanted to see with the Photos. The photo-shoot was very successful, and he returned us edited photos within 48hrs. We will definitely be using him and his studio again for our next Apparel Collection. read more
