JJ is my go to photographer! I needed graduation pictures done and he was recommended to me by my friend. I'm pretty shy at first and freeze up at the sight of attention, but JJ made it so comfortable for me and I was having so much fun with the shoot! I will be shooting with him again for my engagement photos and I can't wait to see him work his talent! Thank you JJ for making me look and feel so beautiful!

JJ is talented! He is so easy going and super sweet. If you know exactly what you want for your photo session or you want some ideas and guidance, either way, JJ's got you! My family and I had a pregnancy/maternity photoshoot in Anaheim Hills. He suggested some great poses and knew where some cute spots would be for our photos. My nearly 2 year old is kind of a brat, but JJ had great patience and captured some cute photos of just her, too. When he gave us our photos, they were beautiful! I am not artistic or photography savvy at all so I don't know how to explain his style but he is a great photographer who I know captures great photos, be it maternity, engagement, wedding, whatever! He is a gem and we will be shooting with him more in the future and I know anyone else who works with him will love it! Thanks so much, JJ.

JJ's Photography is awesome!!I highly recommend him. He did such an amazing job with our engagement pictures. We had such a great time during our photoshoot! He was very flexible with scheduling and very quick in getting our photos to us. I got what I envisioned! I have had the pleasure to show off my photos to friends and family and everyone loves them! I will definitely be using JJ's services again. If your looking for a great time, great photos, fast services and high quality JJ is the man ! Not to mention he is also a DJ! (; Thank you so much to JJ for making our experience so memorable!

I absolutely loved JJ's work. It was my first time ever getting a professional photo shoot done, so I was nervous. During the photo shoot he made me feel extremely comfortable and confident! He was very receptive to the type of poses and backgrounds I wanted. He got in so many different crazy positions for the best possible photo. I would definitely recommend him to capture any special events!

Tanya T.

I love my maternity photos done by jj!!! He was able to capture this special time in my life sooooo beautifully. I would recommend him to anyone I know! I am not comfortable in front of the camera, but he made me feel confident, and I was thrilled with the way they turned out. He has great vision and his professionalism is exceptional!!! The quality of his photography can't be beat.

Had the pleasure of working with JJ for our wedding. He was very easy to work with, responded quickly to calls/emails, and was really flexible. We didn't make it easy for him during our wedding day, given the short time frames between locations and the amount of people involved. He exceeded our expectations with what he was given to work with. We also got our pictures within a month after our wedding, so that was great. I highly recommend JJ for your photo needs, he's great to work and puts what you want first.

JJ, Trish, Nate, and everyone else at ensemble events, THANK YOU! I can't tell you how special you guys made my big day. Total professionals and extremely passionate about the work they do. Everything went off with out a hitch from the photography to the photo booth. Anyone who is looking for anything regarding wedding photography, this is the one stop shop for all your needs. They truly made my day and I had the most peace of mind knowing my memories and wedding were in the hands of the great people. Thank you guys so much!!

As soon as I saw JJ's portfolio, I knew this was who I wanted to take my graduation photos. I could not be happier with my decision!! JJ was super personable, patient, and went above and beyond to help me get the shots and pictures I had in mind. I may not have been able to have a graduation ceremony due to COVID 19, but thanks to JJ, I have pictures i will love and look back at to remember the journey for the rest of my life!

See all

KLV Photography - Calamigos Ranch Wedding in Malibu

KLV photography was an absolute joy to work with from start to finish. I had found KLV through a…read morefriend who also had their wedding photos captured by them and she absolutely loved it. From the very beginning, Meg was our point of contact. She was very professional and incredibly quick to respond to any questions we had. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process. Every question we had was answered quickly and clearly, which made planning so much less stressful. Our lead photographer was Kevin. We met at our engagement shoot where he made us feel completely comfortable (we can be quite awkward!). The engagement photos came out beautiful and people loved our save-the-date photos! The wedding day was super hectic but Kevin was super PRO with handling the chaos. Dan was also great as our second photographer -he is always smiley! They were calm, reassuring, and knew exactly what they were doing. The photos are absolutely stunning, beautiful, light and airy. The lighting, composition, and attention to detail truly exceeded our expectations. Looking through our gallery felt like reliving the entire day all over again, from the big moments to the small candid ones we didn't even realize were happening. We cannot recommend them enough!

So glad we went with KLV Photography for our wedding! We wanted a "soft" and natural look and loved…read morethe way they shot posed and candid photos after viewing their portfolio. First consult meeting and follow up emails with Meg were very helpful; she was lighthearted yet professional, and we felt comfortable trusting them with our special day. Once we met our photographer Jenna, we felt the same way. Jenna was an absolute pleasure to work with and she was so patient, kind, and funny! We're clueless with poses, but with her personality she made our photoshoot experience enjoyable and not awkward at all (first look/couple portraits, family and wedding party portraits). She gave professional advice throughout the day and followed our timeline as well as requests for specific shots. Our photos came back within the quoted time frame of 6-8 weeks and they are amazing. We're thankful for Jenna capturing special moments and highly recommend her and the KLV team!

As an event planner who has collaborated with Nicole on multiple occasions, I can confidently say…read moreshe is exceptional! She is everything both a client and a planner could want in a photographer talented, professional, calm under pressure, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Nicole is a true creative partner. She has the perfect balance of personality and leadership able to command a room when needed to achieve the shots that matter most, while still photographing in an organic, effortless way that captures the true essence of each moment. Her eye for lighting and angles is exceptional, and her work is consistently artistic, elevated, and timeless. Clients are beyond happy with their decision to book her, and it's easy to see why. Aside from her talent, her turnaround time is incredible. She shares sneak peeks so quickly, which clients always appreciate especially while they're still on that post-wedding high. And planners appreciate as well! Being able to relive such a meaningful day through photos (and video) so soon after the celebration is truly exciting, and Nicole consistently goes above and beyond to deliver galleries as quickly as possible without ever compromising quality. She is an absolute pleasure to work with, and I look forward to many more events together!! Xoxo

There are not enough words to express how much Nicole Kirshner means to me and my family. She has…read morebeen there to capture the most sacred, life-changing moments of my life from my engagement, wedding, pregnancy announcement, pregnancy, newborn photos, and family photos. Every single time she has given us something far beyond photographs. She has given us memories we will treasure forever. Nicole is the most genuine, loving, beautiful soul. From the moment you meet her, you feel safe, understood, and completely cared for. She pours her whole heart into her work, and it shows in every image. Her photos are not just stunning they are emotional, intimate, and alive. She captures love in its purest form. During seasons that were tender, emotional, and overwhelming, Nicole showed up with warmth, patience, and so much love for my family. These are moments you can never get back, and because of her, we get to relive them over and over again. I will forever cherish the times she has helped my family and the way she has preserved our story. I love her so much and am endlessly grateful for her talent, her heart, and her presence in our lives. Choosing Nicole as your photographer means choosing someone who will treat your memories like they matter because to her, they truly do.

Irin Studio Photography - 100th day studio session

You know a photographer seriously wants to capture the best pictures of your baby if they want you…read moreto come back when baby is fed, well slept, and happy. For some reason things just didn't align well with my baby's naps and feedings that day so it was hard to manage a tired baby but they managed to get real good photos of my baby and the family. My baby didn't really smile much yet but they were still able to get smiling pictures of her too. Very professional and works so hard to get the best pictures. I was truly grateful for this studio and loved my experience. Also the picture quality was amazing!! The backgrounds were cute and the clothes were so adorable too!! The price point is reasonable and I'd say cheaper than some others for a better quality. I think the turn around time to receive the photos were faster than we expected too. Truly appreciate working with this photographer. He really seems to love what he does and we are blessed with these amazing photos!!! Couple things to note/tips: 1. Go when your baby can smile. Yes after their neck strength gets way better too. My baby still can't really smile yet and she's 4 months old. I really wanted to push having 100 day photos when she was 3.5 months old so neck strength and expressions aren't expected. 1a. Also go when your baby is well fed, pooped, rested, good condition, etc. makes a world of difference. 2. They give you a looooot of photos to choose from. Be prepared to be pleasantly overwhelmed with photos. If you get decision fatigue then ask your spouse to help. Cause I loved getting the full gamut of photos. 3. They have a wardrobe but if you want your baby to wear something specific, bring it! Their wardrobe is pretty cute tho and fits with their backgrounds. 4. They have set backgrounds to choose from in their studio. The backgrounds are really cute but if you're looking for something specific, unique, tailored to you, the studio setting might not be for you. But tbh all 100 day, dohl, event photos basically look the same...so I would think it's odd to expect something different. I've seen tons of beach engagement pics. Tons of dohl pics with the same backgrounds and balloons. So why complain about a studio pic with similar styles and backgrounds or lack of variety? You're already the unique and different baby/family. So there's that. 5. Bring a toy or something that can get your baby's attention. I realized belatedly my baby likes to stare at herself in the mirror. She also likes her little fox doll. If your baby has a preference for a toy, perhaps being prepared like that will help with the experience! 6. Match your clothes with your family and partner beforehand. Clothes, accessories and shoes too so they look cohesive in the photos! Belatedly realized my husband's shoes didn't match any of our family's and my son's also seemed a little too bright. Oh well. Overall I loved the photos! Thank you again for the awesome and kind experience!!!

The cheapest package we could get was $300 (with tax). my husband was livid. you gave us a bunch of coupons which could only be used on the Next session. You said that were many studios in TX where were live and the $30 coupon was valid for 3 months. it was all a lie. there are no Picture People studios within 200 miles of our home. All we got was a free 8x10 but it really wasn't free because there was an undisclosed uncharge on the digital backgrounds. Now you get to use our photos but we do not think it was a reasonable deal. You knew how excited my son was to do this "modeling session" and you played us. We never ever paid over $150 at J.c. penney studios (Which is actually right next door! Go there!). I came back the next day to see if I could purchase another 8x10 with a coupon but the Manager said no, sorry, it's $24 for 1 sheet with 4 of the same photos. I don't wish bad on you but don't think your business will survive when you are stingy and lie. Most people cannot afford this. Also, I do not believe that the reviews are written by customers. I think you are a struggling business. Good Luck! We will never use Picture People again in any town!!! These places are a dime a dozen. :o(
