With Diana, I honestly had the best photo shoot experience I've ever had and a lot of that was due to her incredible energy and attention to detail. Even before our session, we met to discuss the various looks we wanted to get and she really got me to do my homework and I felt properly prepped. Diana looked over my wardrobe choices on the day of and even recommended makeup artist Grace Chun. Both ladies were troopers, providing input, criticism, encouragement whenever necessary. I was worried about the hours that seemed to fly by, but Diana was quite content with making sure that we took the time to get the looks we needed.

No playing dress up here - Diana's work is all about capturing the essence of the characters you can play without even trying. Working with Diana was a true collaboration. We met and discussed not only the roles I've been booking, but the roles I'd like to book. Few photographers in town are as career-savvy or attentive as Diana. We didn't just make a headshot plan - we re-strategized my entire career! It was amazing. My actual session was comfortable and really fun. I was nervous and self-conscious at first, but Diana put me at ease completely. Her locations were colorful and offered plenty of privacy for the magic to happen. By the end of the day, I felt great about what we accomplished. And when I got my CDs with the proofs, I couldn't believe how many wonderful pictures I had to choose from! Truly the most difficult picture selection process I've ever been through - there were so many winners. With my new headshots, I feel more poised than ever to expand my career opportunities and book more acting roles. Collaborating with Diana was wonderful and worth every penny. Highly recommended for actors who want to take their headshots and their career to the next level!

There are photographers, and then there is Mindie. Over the last several years, my husband and I…read morehave used numerous photographers to capture the precious moments of our lives. While their work was good, it failed to be great. Doing a photo session is not just about having your pictures taken and it resulting in a gratifying visual outcome, it's about the experience. For the price that many photographers charge--typically thousands--it doesn't seem too much to ask for. And after thoughtful consideration, there was one thing all of the photographers we worked with had in common: They had been in the business for so long that they no longer had a human touch. They often rushed through our sessions and didn't take the time to get to know us as a couple or as individuals. Or, if they did, their attempt to learn us was not genuine--it was just something that was expected of them. For this, each time we've failed to get the images or experience we desired and in the end, were left with a bad taste in our mouths. For these photographers, it wasn't about the subjects; it had strictly become a business and source of income. In May, when we found Mindie, we were lured in by her amazing photos and reasonable price. To be honest, after having dealt with a host of robot photographers, we were prepared for another R2-D2. To our surprise, she was quite the opposite and was a breath of fresh air. I can't begin to express how much we enjoyed working with Mindie. She went above and beyond for us. Prior to our session, Mindie and I spoke several times about what I was looking for in our maternity shoot. I was 8 months pregnant at the time and was completely stressed out by the physical demands of pregnancy and work. My brain was fried and I really didn't want to put too much thought into the session--I had enough things to deal with. Mindie asked what I had always envisioned for my maternity shoot. My ideas were all over the place. I couldn't decide between doing something at a park or at the beach, and I didn't know what I wanted to even capture or get from those settings. Mindie could tell I was scatterbrained and needed help reeling in the ideas, so she went to the drawing board and came back with some amazing concepts--we would do part of the shoot at the beach and the other part in her home studio (boudoir). On the day of the shoot, she picked my husband and I up from our home and courted us to Zuma Beach, which was over an hour away! She did not request extra funds for gas either. Along the way, we spoke like longtime friends. She really picked our brains and got to know who we were at heart. By the time we reached Zuma, we had all established a level of comfort that we had not experienced with any other photographer. Though my husband and I look like models (lol), we lack the poise and poses. This was not a problem. Mindie directed us the entire time, and not once did she become frustrated or lose focus. She loves what she does and like she said, "could do it for hours." She didn't lie. She patiently shot us for over 3 hours at the beach, and still she had more to give. For every shot we had a different pose. And she made us feel great by telling us when she captured the perfect image. She also injected some honesty--she was not afraid to tell us "chins up" or "relax your mouth," nor was she hesitant to pull the images up on her camera so that we could see why she made the recommendation. She was on the right end of the camera and knew what was best for us. The outcome: great pictures that our friends and family loved. I was so excited about showing off the images that I immediately posted them on Facebook. The result: over 100 likes and tons of compliments. Her work was flawless and surpassed our expectations. The boudoir shoot, which some may find uncomfortable given the minimal amount of clothing you wear, was great too. She made me feel comfortable, and I trusted her eye and ability to make the images tasteful. My husband LOVED them and could not stop telling me how good pregnancy looked on me. Now that our baby is here, we can't wait to have Mindie shoot her now and for years to come. Choose Mindie as your photographer, you won't regret it.

It's a deeply personal thing, photography--as much so for the photographer as for the subject…read more Photographers, even very good ones, are not all created equal. Not every photographer is right for every couple. Finding the right fit is the crucial thing. Our experience with Conrad Lim and his team could not have been more important or memorable--for all the right reasons. He was a friend and a partner, beginning with our engagement photos and continuing through the wedding day itself. And we're sure that partnership will continue for years to come. Working with Conrad, you get the sense that this shared-experience aspect of the work is immensely important to him. He understands and values relationships on a deep, sophisticated level, and this informs the images he composes and captures. As our wedding experience winds down, my wife and I realized that some of the most intimate, special moments we experienced during the entire process came about through our sessions with Conrad. He works in a certain way: freeform, improvisational, yet with a documentary feel. Not overly sentimental, but introspective and exuberant by turns. He has the knack of making the subject feel at ease; of stage-directing for the composition he wants without breaking the spontaneity of the moment. He's a consummate professional when it's time to capture the requisite family-shot images, but he goes beyond, far beyond, the standard "wedding photo" repertoire. As our day unfolded, Conrad and his team were omnipresent but unobtrusive, rolling with the inevitable schedule jams and logistical challenges to capture a beautiful set of images... a document, taken as a whole, not only of how it looked to be there, but how it felt. A distillation of the nervousness, the anticipation, the fellowship, and ultimately the joy of this moment in our lives. ...except Conrad would never be so presumptuous, or pompous, or immodest as to suggest any of this. He and his team are fun to work with, fast-paced but patient. They're obsessed with details without losing the bigger picture. They're good with following through and responding to questions. And they are, quite simply, cool. We couldn't recommend them more highly. For us, they were perfect.
