Patience and extremely friendly summarizes our experience. We would recommend OvenStudio to anyone looking to do 100th or 1st Year birthday photo sessions. We decided to use OvenStudio for our daughter's 100th day. My wife found this studio through one of her network site. It was actually one of few studios who does the 100th day and 1st birthday. For the Korean culture, 100th day picture is a big thing. The biggest reason we chose OvenStudio was based on the pictures in the gallery. While many studios used "glamour" shot style, with soft focus or/and halo filtering, OvenStudio gallery pictures were very clean. We felt that the picture quality was better than others. Location: it's located between LA Downtown and Korea Town. There is no big signs or anything. I think most of their business if by word of mouth...meaning reputation. You drive up to the building, call the owner, the photographer (husband) will come and open the garage door. Owners: husband is the photographer and the wife assists with making the baby smile. I was actually impressed by both of them on how they grabbed our daughter's attention and made her smile. Studio: I really like their studio. Nice set up. They have so many customs that you can probably spend hours trying different combinations. You can pick and choose, but owners will also let you know which color and cloths would look good for the different theme. One thing you should be aware, since it caught me off guard. After you park, the photographer will be there to escort you. He will actually take the baby from the car and carry the baby into the studio. He does this so that the baby will get a bit more familiar with him. We got started around 2:30pm. Our daughter only made through few shots on 1st theme and begun crying. We calmed her down, which allowed us to try another theme session. Well, that didn't go well. She begun to cry again. Owners suggested that we feed the baby and let the baby sleep for while. After feeding and sleeping, it was about 4pm. We tried few more shots, but sun was going down and the owner did not feel that the photos were coming out well because of that. They suggested that we come back next day for another session because pictures could be a lot better with more sun light. Next day, it went on like a dream. A lot of great photos. Here is the part that made me really impressed with OvenStudio. When our baby was crying on the first day, they did not rush us or the baby to take the photos. They kept on explaining that this is normal and that we shouldn't feel bad about it. They gave us plenty of time to feed our daughter and for her to take a nap. I think if he wanted to, he could have finished the session on the 1st day, as time is money. But he didn't. His wife, who assist with the baby to focus and smile, was extremely good with the baby. She treated our baby like it's her own, taking time and being careful when changing the outfits. They really care about quality of their work. My biggest suggestion or recommendation before you set up an appointment. Figure out when your baby is happiest or full of energy/ least cranky. For our baby, it's morning. We discussed this with the owners at end of 1st day and decided to do re-shoot first thing in the morning. Yap, re-shoot went quick and a lot of great smiles from the baby. I think we got done in like 30 minutes. Couple of other suggestions. Make sure your baby is use to putting on a hat. There are photos sessions with baby lying on the tommy. Baby need to be able to hold the head up. Great experience. I would recommend them to any parents looking for a baby photo session. read more

I went to Ovenstudio for my daughter's 1st birthday pictures and family photo. the studio had good selection of clothings to choose from so you do not have to bring your own clothes. They have various sample pictures to choose from. Photographer and staff were very patient and flexible. They made my daughter and my son laugh for photo. I had a good experience with them. My family had a good time while taking photos. Photos were amazing. I am having a hard time to choose picture because all pictures were good. I highly recommend this studio! read more

Han, Haeli, and their assistants are a truly amazing example of a great and successful team. I myself don't have any kids, but was able to be apart of the action today when my baby nephew went for his first photo shoot! Exciting times right?! Anyways, Han and his team are really great with kids, not only can they make those little dumplings giggle with joy, they can capture the true happiness and pure innocence of a child to last a lifetime. For an hour straight they were able to make my nephew (for the most part) smile, laugh, and focus at the camera without shedding a tear! Amazing! Han shoots very quick and is extremely skilled at his craft. The studio is very clean, organized, and has tons of props and little clothes to choose from :) it's really cute. Not to mention they are super affordable compared to other studios that aren't as highly rated and are charging customers 1k+.. I can't recommend Oven Studio enough. As the other reviews stated, they are a bunch of baby whisperers! In the future, I know where my kids will have their baby photos :). Thank you Han, Haeli, and their amazing team! Will be back! read more

Ovenstudio - Session Photography Near Me - Buena Park, California

the little gem you don't want everyone to find out about but are compelled to give credit where credit is due. my wife and i booked "100 day"/dohl photos for our son with Ovenstudio; wife found them on some other site that highly recommended them. we had a Sunday appmt. around noon and tried our darndest to get our son to get as much rest and milk in his belly before the photo shoot. but you can't control a 3 and 1/2 month old, now can you. haha the two member duo work out of their loft space, converted into their studio. it's spacious enough with plenty of props. about a quarter of the way through our son's photo shoot, it became obvious our little guy was getting tired and possibly hungry. but we didn't want to stop the session bc we thought we only had a couple of hours max. but the lady told us that the shoot would be too arduous for the little guy if he didn't get more rest. so, my wife fed him and the lady offered to hold him while he napped! for like 30 mins!! she also said time wasn't an issue; that we could take all day to finish. wow. we were blown away. the poor lady said her arm felt like it was going to fall off from holding him so long. sorry, but thank you, thank you! =) anyway, we got through the shoot, ending with a handful of family photos. within 4 days, they sent us a disc with hundreds of photos to choose from. after picking out what we wanted printed, it took about 5 weeks for us to get the photos and framed photo, just as advertised. photos turned out awesome. they captured some wonderful moments of our little precious, boy. great quality, great service, great professionalism and hospitality we didn't expect. (they also gave us ice coffees and small snacks during the photo session.) so, another big thanks for everything! we'll probably try and book them for our son's first bday. read more

The first attraction was their greeting. They really make us comfortable and keep the baby w.happy face whole time.. It's not easy attract the baby as u know especially during the photo time... But was perfect!! Easy going for the next step.. @ the beautiful place I LOVED it~~~ read more

Im SO glad I came across Oven Studio when I was searching for a photographer. Not being familiar with studio photo sessions, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that all outfits and props are provided by the studio. All I had to do was bring a well napped baby. Unfortunately my baby boy didn't nap very well, but lucky me! Photographer and the staff at Oven Studio were SO good with him. They were super patient and understanding. They brought out all kinds of stuff to keep him smiling and focused. I was very satisfied with the way his pictures came out. Today was my son's first birthday party. Photographer arrived early so we can take pictures before the guests arrived. He got my son smiling again with silly sounds and gestures. I can tell that he really cared about the work he does and he goes extra miles to make your day special. Even though it was my son's birthday, he pull my husband and I to outdoor space to take few pictures of us two! I felt like we were taking engagement photos all over again and it got me giggling. He kept us on schedule which I totally appreciate because I really needed someone to keep track of time and the timeline of the event I can't wait to see all the photos he took. I'm sure they look fabulous! Thank you, Oven Studio! read more

I had such a great experience with Ovenstudio! They made the process so easy and convenient. Will definitely be returning for other pictures needed and will recommend them to anyone looking for baby pictures! read more

I have never been to a photo studio before so I can't really compare them with others but overall experience was great, they were very professional and nice. The photographer did a great job capturing the moment and the assistant lady was very good with handling the baby. Before the shoot, we were concerned about how my baby will behave because he's very active. But all the concerns behind, the assistant lady did a great job, catching my baby's attention and make him smile on every shot. It only took them 2 days to get us the proofs, and they all turned out nice. read more

I read a lot of good reviews of this studio and I was definitely satisfied with my son's photo session. This studio is run by a married couple who genuinely love children. The wife was so skilled at keeping my son entertained throughout the photo shoot. They have a huge selection on clothes, shoes, accessories, etc but they recommend certain outfits for different backgrounds so you don't feel overwhelmed with the large selection. The location and parking can be a little tricky to find but they provide you with detailed information and they are also available via text and phone. They respond right away which is always a huge plus. I would definitely recommend this studio and I look forward to coming here for more photo shoots. read more

I have two baby girls and have been in many different photo studios.... ovenstudio is number one!!! I love everything single photo they took of my baby girl! She's not a very easy girl... but the photographers are amazing with kids!!!!! Loved them so much that we booked 3 different sections! And I'm planning to book many more in the future!!! Thank you guys!!!! read more

I recently got my baby's Dol (1st Birthday) pictures at this studio. It's not easy to take pictures with a baby, but the photographer and his wife were very experienced and made it so much fun! They are very understanding and accommodate whatever your baby needs. They have multiple background themes, lots of cute outfits and props to choose from, and I am very happy with the pictures!!! I would definitely recommend this studio to my friends, and will be back again for my next baby. Thank you Oven Studio!!! read more

I came here to take 100th days photos for my little princess. The photographer and his wife were so nice and passionated. They had variety of outfit and theme. I enjoyed taking photo with oven studio and i will definitely be back to take 1st birthday photo read more

I would highly recommend this studio! The wife & husband duo is awesome. They were great with the baby and so accommodating. The studio offered so many cute themes and outfits. We flew to California from the east coast to take these photos and I do not regret the decision one bit! I would go back to take photos again! read more

With about a month left of my baby's first birthday I called Ovenstudio and they were able to accommodate a session for us so quickly. We went in on a weekday and was in and out in a little over an hour. We also got a 10% discount because it was a weekday. The backgrounds were hard to choose because they are all so nice but we ended up doing one traditional look, one formal and one casual. The outfits and props were all super cute and am so happy with everything. They were so good with the baby, making him smile and laugh and the photos turned out amazing! We received all 800+ photos in two days!! Needless to say I totally recommend Ovenstudio to capture beautiful pictures of your little ones! read more

Had a very positive experience here! Didn't know our son could laugh enjoy have fun taking pictures! Was best experience for our son and recommend anyone thinking about taking studio photos for their kids. read more

I never, ever write reviews. But oven studio was so amazing I just had to share! I've taken my daughter's photos at JC Penney and with an independent photographer who comes to your home/a predetermined location and oven studio is truly the only one who more than satisfied what I was looking for (all others left me disappointed). They have dresses, hanboks, and casual outfits that you can borrow along with headpieces. They know what they are doing: they fixed my daughter's hair and outfit whereas I had to do that myself with other photographers which I loved because they know more than me what will look best. They give you tons of photos (All the photos!! Like hundreds!!). They have free parking!! And they are totally worth the money!! I'll be coming back every year!! read more

We had our baby #3's both 100th day and 1st bday photoshoots taken here. We were so satisfied with our pictures both times around. Great people! Awesome pictures! Absolutely recommend to everyone! read more

We went for my son's 100 days and first birthday photo session, the photographer and his wife were both very professional in handling baby and taking awesome pictures!!! Very prompt reply in making appointments and sending both original and edited photos as well!! Highly recommend and will visit again in another occasion! read more

Oven studio is so great! The husband and wife are so amazing to work with. They have a lot of backgrounds to choose from and they have so many props and clothes you can borrow for the photo shoot. They really help guide you through the photo shoot so your baby doesn't get too fussy or cranky. We had so much fun during our session. Our baby had the time of her life. She's usually pretty shy but they were so friendly and warm with her, she pretty much laughed the whole time. We will definitely be coming back for more pictures again as she gets older. Great pictures and great people at Oven Studio. Would highly recommend using them. read more

My husband and I had a couple photo shoot session last week and it was a great experience. I am a type of person who becomes extremely awkward and does not know how to pose and smile in front of camera. However, our photographer give us a guide on every single shoot and made this photo session very comfortable. Of course, I am very satisfied with the outcomes and just can't wait to receive finalized ones. Highly recommend to everyone who is looking for couple photo shoot session, also baby's 50th 100th days or 1st birthday photo session. I can't wait to come back here with our baby. !!! read more

Ovenstudio is the best!!!! They were terrific working with our daughter and they have so many backgrounds and accessories to choose from to make the pictures look incredible. Their customer service is top notch, they provide a ton of pictures, and their turn around time is second to none. Would recommend them again in a heartbeat. read more

Our family had a blast during the studio session! They had all sorts of tricks to make our son very happy and made him comfortable enough to smile at the camera a lot. Also, they made us and grandparents smile a lot! On the side note, they have massive clothings and accessories to meet everyone's needs. Finally, our son did not want to say goodbye to them after we were all done. Highly recommended!! read more

This is first time to write review because there are so awesome. My baby was so happy with them. so nice and kind to us too. I already told my friends who has 8 months and 10 months baby about them. I'm highly recommend who wants to look for baby photographer!!!!!!! Thank you !! read more

My wife and I took our 5 month old baby to Oven Studio in December 2017. We heard great things about the studio from our friends who also took their baby photos here. We anticipated taking 3-4 themes but because of a fussy baby were only able to take 1. The photographer and his wife make a great team! They were patient with us and our baby and allowed us time to feed and change her. We are very happy with the pictures and will come back for baby Charlotte's one year photos. read more

We went to this studio for my son's 1 year birthday. They are very professional and patient. My son was not crying at all during one hour photograph period. He was attracted by the different backdrop, props, and furniture. The wife helped my son to dress up,making pose and doing funny actions to have my son laugh. The Korean traditional costume is our favorite, you won't find it in any other studio of LA. Now, i can show off my son's photo to anyone who i know!!!! Thanks lot read more

Our little girl just might be the fussiest 3 month old ever. Less than 2 minutes into shooting the first theme, she goes off crying and screaming, even though she was an angel in the hour car ride on the way there. Wife and I are ready to give up after baby refuses to calm down for 30 minutes. We give her some milk and let her take a nap. This ends up being a long nap, and we don't want to wake her up because she's even more fussy without nap time. Finally she wakes up with 15 minutes left and they get all three themes in. Amazing. We would have been happy with just two or three pics given how fussy our little girl was that day, but in the end the studio pulled it off and we were happy with the pictures! Thank you Oven Studio! read more

They're so talented and dedicated people. They tried hard to keep my kids happy all the time. The pictures are awesome, too! They will not let you down. Try~~! read more

It was great experience for my niece's 100 days photoshoot. We checked out their instagram and chose some themes before we go. When we got there, lot of themes (clothes, hairband, probs, decorations) were available more than i expected. Also, the staffs nicely recommended how they work in the picture. We thought it was good choice to choose this studio. read more

I loved their photos on Instagram, so I took my son here for his 1st bday photo shoot (we also did family photo). It was the best choice I made for his bday! I highly recommend Ovenstudio because I am sure both you and your child will have a great time here. I love how they prioritize the comfort of the baby first rather than just trying to get their job done. They gave us plenty of time to change the diaper and feed my baby. My son was such a happy camper throughout the whole photo shoot because they won't stop entertaining him. He is literally smiling in every single picture (Thank you Ovenstudio!). Also, I love how they have a bunch of cute formal/casual baby outfits+ several Korean traditional outfits so you do not have to spend extra money on the outfit for the photo shoot. Overall it was a great experience. I'll definitely come back for other occasions. read more

We enjoyed taking our sons first birthday photos at Oven Studio. They had a variety of outfits and scenery to choose from, and made us feel super comfortable. The lady was so good w my son and we loved the photos they captured. We will definitely be back! read more

My husband and I can't say enough good things about this studio. Our baby cries a little (or a lot maybe) more than other babies, but the studio was extremely patient with us. They have lots of adorable clothes and props to make baby photos cute, and we were thrilled with the results. Thank you Ovenstudio! read more

I think this place is very popular with the korean community. The photographer is very good at taking a million photos at once so 1 or 2 will come out. BUT I dont believe he knows that every child is different. His photos are definitely unique to his style so you will get the same poses and costumes each time. He is disrespectful to the clients and he KNOWS his way is the only way. The people who left negative reviews are actually more true to point. Its expensive for what you get. Keep on your list but dont make it #1 read more

We came here to take 100th days photos for my daughter. the photographer and his wife were so nice and passionated.they were very entertaining during the shoot so my daughter had a lot of fun. the photos came out really well and we can't wait to go back again read more

Had our babys 1 year pics taken here. Overall a great experience. They provide everything. All you need to do is show up with your little one. Very convenient and affordable pricing. None of the pics are edited. You get all of the pics on a cd which is nice but I cant say that I really loved the pics. read more

We came here to take 1st birthday photos for my baby. They were so nice and professional. It was great experience. : )

Got photos from oven for my son's 1st birthday. For the 1 star comment that mentioned how ridiculous it is that they don't use flash...that person obviously doesn't understand photography and the aesthetic of oven. Nonetheless, yes, they use natural light, which produces a much more beautiful image in my opinion. The owners are artists and not some JCpenney's photographers. They try their best to offer new photos and props to each customer to make the photos personalized. My son was cranky the first day we went so they let us come back another day to finish photos. They went above and beyond the quoted agreement by offering more photos, and in the end gave me more prints than agreed upon as well. The photographer IS a little bit of an interesting character, which can be off putting to some. He tends to have a strong opinion about props or clothing. However, as an artist myself, I think it's just a part of being an artist! He really likes a certain aesthetic and look out of his photos. Go on his website and check out what he does. If you don't like it, don't book with him. But if you do, book with him because he's so good! The photos we got back were so clean, crisp, and beautiful. The photos were truly professional and I really loved them. They're definitely worth the investment and will be photos I can cherish for a lifetime. I'd suggest oven to anyone who likes their photos. Just go on their website and check what they've done! read more

I had a great experience taking my son's 12 months photo with Oven Studio. They are very professional, provide great customer service, and great price. After 2 hours of doing indoor photo shoot, my son was getting tired and wasn't cooperating. Instead of forcing the photo shoot, the photographer offered to finish up the session on a different day without any additional fee. We also did outdoor shoot with them and we had a great time. We are very happy with the photos they took and highly recommend Over Studio to everyone! read more

As so many friends of us recommended this studio for my daughter's 100th day photos, we decided to give it a shot at oven studio. As we expected, it came out very nice. During the photoshoot, they tried so hard to make my daughter laugh, so we were able to have a great experience from thing that would have been very hard. So grateful for the adorable pictures!!! read more

We just took 100 days pictures with our baby and couldn't be happier with the Studio and the pictures which turned out great! They were very quick with their replies via text and all questions were answered. There are tons of very cute outfits and accessories so you don't have to worry about bringing outfit changes for the baby. The pictures from the shoot were sent over very quickly via email. I'm very happy to have chosen Oven Studio for my baby's pictures. read more

I took my baby's 18 months photos at Oven Studio! It was the best baby session we've ever done! The photo studio is very clean and has a lot of cute backgrounds. I was extremely surprised that they even included her outfit and hair accessories for the Photoshoot! More importantly, They were very entertaining during the shoot so my little girl had a lot of fun! The photos came out really well and we can't wait to go back again! read more
