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 - "...exhibited confidence and good judgement in every circumstance." Dr. Dawson, Veterinarian

The Long Leash

(63 reviews)

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!

I absolutely cannot believe this quality of this service- not only are my chihuahuas and cat in…read morewhat is clear to be the utmost professional care, but they LOVE their walks and visits with the long leash. It's so wonderful knowing my pups have this part of their day to look forward to. I get the most amazing daily pictures of my babies on their walks and cuddling at home. It is my favorite part of the day to click on the daily update via email after I know the long leash has been there. Our walker is always within the time frame and is so easy to communicate with. I am so grateful to Leanne and the Long Leash!!!

The Salty Dog Studio - Katelin and her oldest dog Captain! Her muse for her photography!

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!

Our family has worked with Katelin at The Salty Dog Studio for over five years, and she has…read morecaptured so many fun memories with our two Pomeranians and now our newborn baby. Katelin has an amazing eye for photography, makes every session feel comfortable and fun, and is always such a pleasure to work with. She's also been incredibly flexible and accommodating with our schedule and needs over the years. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet or family photographer!

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!!!

My husband and I got Alicia's engagement/holiday family session which was supposed to be a 30…read moreminute session as a family. We was absolutely amazing with our two dogs, 1 male Havanese who is 5 years old named Mac and a female havanese-poodle mix, Maizie. They are both pretty good with me and my husband when off leash in a busy area but they are pretty against paparazzi and usually we can barely get a good photo of them on our own. Alicia was awesome she picked out this great park in Santa Monica and even though we were 15 minutes late due to traffic coming up from Redondo Beach she was already set up and done scouting and ready to shoot! She made both me and my husband feel very comfortable for the shoot, especially since we are extremely awkward together in photos... and more importantly Alicia made our pups feel SUPER at home. Our little Maizie is a stray and is usually super scared of strangers but she didn't even bark at Alicia at all and was even open to letting Alicia pet her while we were doing solos with Mac. She was also really great at getting the dog's attention and she was very hands-on and active trying to get the best shot, even laying in the grass or on her knees with her 'knee pads' LOL. On top of how much fun we had with our pups, Alicia shot with us for over an hour instead of the 30 minute package we paid for AND she got our best photos to us within the day! It was an amazing experience! We honestly can't wait to shoot with her again, but this time probably her doggy lifestyle package so we can just have great photos of our pups playing around together! We highly recommend her to anyone who has a fur baby :)
