The team provided exceptional hair and makeup services, which contributed to a truly wonderful day.

Afterward, I worked with Cecily, whose creative vision and expert posing resulted in so many gorgeous shots that choosing favorites at the end was quite difficult. Both of these women were amazing at boosting my confidence and making me feel fantastic throughout the process. I highly recommend this studio for the experience alone, and I am eagerly looking forward to seeing the final results.

She had a great location picked out and it didn't feel like work- we were just walking around and talking and she got the kids engaged. To say I was blown away by the photos was an understatement. They turned out amazing and I'm so grateful that we found her. I've had several friends ask for a recommendation after seeing our photos. Can't wait to book her next year!

I can tell they love seeing families come in and kids leave with smiles and a happy santa memory. I really like they think about the parents too. They play kids movies so the kids don't have to be so bored waiting. The Santa is amazing and the most looking Santa I've seen. He talks to the kids and jokes with them and acts his part. I would highly recommend checking this place out. It's worth the time and money. Having the photos to keep and memories to last.

Octavio was very flexible and assured us that the photos would turn out great. And he was right! We had an intimate SF city hall ceremony with just our families present. Octavio got there a few hours before us to spot the place out and look for great "lighting" where he could take amazing pictures. Then we had a small reception in Mountain View.
