Reviews With Photos

We took my one and half year old niece in for a photo with realistic expectations (we knew keeping her still to capture a clear photo would be a challenge). Michael went above and beyond any expectations we could have had. He was beyond patient through the tantrums and fussiness and captured a photo that we will treasure forever. He will continue to work until you get a photo that you are happy with. I highly recommend this business for beautiful and unique heirlooms. You won't be disappointed.

Mike has an amazing selection of old cameras. I've sat for him several times. Loved shooting the collodian wet plate process with him, the results are like a time travel object, or a peek at your ancestors. His studio is in a great spot downtown near the arts district. You could even bring some favorite records for the turn-table.

The Long leash has exceeded our expectations and provides exceptional dog, walking, and pet sitting…read moreservices. It has been a wonderful experience to have them take care of our pets.

The walkers in the Long Leash family have been one of the best gifts in our lives. We are beyond…read moregrateful that they serve the pups and pets in our neighborhood and we don't know what we would do without them. After using app-based walk and pet-sitting services, we wanted something more personal for our fur babies - we wanted them to see the same people on a regular basis, and to know that there were professionals who were watching out for their well-being with the same concern as us....we found that and more in The Long Leash. The love they get each day in the form of walks, pets, love and attention priceless, but then you add in The Long Leash special touches and it's beyond incredible: -after each visit, your walker will send personalized messages (with photos!) to you describing your angel's antics and actions (they are eagerly awaited by us everyday, and we promptly forward them to members of our family around the country who now love The Long Leash walkers as much as we do!) -we went on an extended vacation during which our walkers visited multiple times a day (messages after each visit, of course), and upon our return found a "welcome home" bouquet of flowers from our pets (our walkers). Adorable. -on rainy days, our walker takes our dog outside but then brings her in out of the rain to play brain games - she literally comes prepared with indoor fun to entertain and engage our angels even when they can't go outside! -they are experts at special requests and seem to love them and view them as a chance to know your pet better. -last but not least, our walker watches our pets' behavior as if they were her own, and notes any changes in appearance, and any new physical bumps or oddities that may be concerning, and any changes in behavior that we should look out for. I feel like we have another partner in their well-being. I just can't say enough about them - give yourself the joyful gift of The Long Leash in your life, for you and your pet!

Getting a good photo of my dog felt impossible until we went to Salty Dog Studio. Their calm,…read morepatient approach made the session feel like a fun hangout rather than a photoshoot. My dog was completely at ease, and the final shots are full of charm and personality. I can't recommend them enough for anyone who wants keepsake photos of their pet!

Wow... The Salty Studio is truly something special!…read more From the very beginning, Katelin made the entire experience feel warm, inviting, and thoughtfully personalized. She took the time to really understand the vision I had for my photoshoot and the types of moments I wanted captured, which made everything feel so intentional and meaningful. I booked a session for my older pup and my daughter (and even jumped in for a few photos myself!), and Katelin was absolutely incredible with both of them. She was so patient, especially with my fur baby, and so natural with my daughter--guiding her with poses that fit her age, making her laugh, and keeping things fun and light the entire time. What really stood out to me was how unrushed the session felt. Unlike other photoshoots where you feel like you're on the clock, Katelin created a relaxed environment where we could explore different backdrops, props, and ideas without any pressure. It made such a difference. She has an amazing eye and such a creative vision--it's clear she's incredibly talented and experienced. We even got to see a few glimpses of the photos during the session, and they were SO cute! I also saw some of her past work printed, and the quality is absolutely impeccable. This wasn't just a photoshoot--it was an experience. I'm already so excited to see the final images and would highly recommend Katelin to anyone looking to capture special moments, especially with family or pets. She's truly amazing!

Let me just say that Alicia is truly a fantastic photographer and loves furbabies. This was evident…read morefrom all stages of our interactions. She really took the time to talk to us about our dog and got to know what we liked and her backstory. She's passionate, patient and truly determined to get those perfect shots. She took us up in the Santa Monica mountains and staged everything very well. She had us hurling tennis balls at and over her to capture fluid, "in motion" shots and climbed in and out of spiked bushes to get the right shading for our furbaby. Her passion and talent come across in her editing and finishing too! She get the best shots back to us exceptionally quickly and we couldn't be happier with the whole experience. Don't waste time and just book her as soon as you can. Your only regret will be not getting these shot done.

I wish I could put into words how amazing Alicia is. Over the years, I have done a handful of…read moreshoots with her, and every one has been an amazing experience. Most recently, she did a shoot for my 12 year old pittie and my two belgian malinois. I traveled from the San Francisco Bay Area just to be able to work with her again. She did an incredible job capturing some beautiful memories of my older girl, and some shots of my whole pack. I couldn't be happier with the photos, and I can't wait to have some prints made for my home! Alicia's talent is beyond compare, and I am so blessed to have had the chance to work with her again! Thank you so much Alicia for everything you have done for me and my pack!!!

5 starz 10/10 would recommend …read more had a shoot this past Friday 11/18 I'm the type of person who isn't comfortable in-front of a camera , I'm pretty self conscious and get really nervous . So I started off the shoot telling them just that . Coal and Elmer were super nice , friendly & very professional . Off the bat , I felt comfortable being there . It felt like we were just chilling with a couple homies and I wasn't nervous anymore . Coal the photographer was directive and Elmer was super helpful . Nothing felt rushed or forced . Coal constantly showed us our photos after to make sure that we were happy with the results . Both coal and Elmer constantly made sure that were with comfortable with air temp , asked if we wanted snacks or drinks and made sure that our experience was pleasurable . I'm so glad I found this place . It wasn't too far from home , price was beyond fair , and the fact that they felt just like homies made the experience that much better . I'm recommending all friends and family to come here as I'd recommend you reading this ! I know forshure these guys are gonna make it far and I'm happy to have been able to be apart of this . Can't wait to come back at some point ! Thank you coal and Elmer for amazing photos and terrific experience!
