I believe her name was Isabella younger Hispanic young lady very soft spoken and patient photographed my daughter for her first birthday today. She did an amazing job and was extremely patient I really appreciate it. I only gave 4/5 stars because I wish they had more affordable digital packaging. But overall I paid 195 plus tax for 4 poses none digital photo prints . read more

Lupe was AMAZING!!!! Did my daughter's senior pictures here and I would definitely come back. I remember when I used to get the 50 wallets back in the days. It's now expanded and I love it! read more

The customer service is the worst... the photographer was nice during the actual photo shoot but the after workings trying to get pictures is where the problem started. I called ...I texted and to get attitude after attitude. For the pictures and season to be so expensive to get this type of service... is all bad... I paid 450.00 for 5 pics with digital prints... for the money the customer service should be on point. Find a better place to spend your money read more

I made an online appointment very easily a few days before my baby shower so I could get photos done before my shower. Lupe did a great job! We added a family photo as well and my son was sleepy since it was before his nap time. She got him to giggle and smile and we love the photos. It was also down quickly which I appreciate. We picked up our photos today and they came out great both digitally and physically. We even got a huge family photo printed out! It was a great experience and we will be returning in the future! Thank you! :) read more

Loved loved loved the outcome of the photos! I set this photoshoot for my cousin's graduation photos. Surprisingly my cousin forgot her cap and tassel and the studio had every color option, year, and style for graduates. So this was perfect. Her graduates school colors were a dark teal and tan color and they had both colors. I truly appreciated this part of the service. The photographer made sure the hair was in place the the poses were right to point, although I was there to do the same thing. The photographers would beat me to it. I loved everything about them. They were super pricey but for the pricing and patience, I believe it was so worth it! read more

Had a graduation session for my daughter a week ago ... young lady who helped during the session was really good at posing my daughter wish I knew her name because her customer service was amazing. However , when picking up my package I spend over $700 for I noticed my daughter picked majority of photos where she didn't smile . I decide to add two more photos where she was . Only to be told that I couldn't have them in digital form only printed for $21plus for a print of each . Who really shares prints anymore . There needs to be digital copy packages . It's extremely upsetting to not be able to have 2 extra digital photos to share after spending as much money as I did and when the young lady just air dropped me the other images .. i had not problem paying for a digital copy . read more

Went here to get a disposable camera developed and was met with some of the worst developing I have ever seen. Main guy who made the photos said, " I develop, what I want to see". Camera had 36 pictures taken and only received 16 back with the vast majority of them not being visible and terrible quality. Never come here for this sort of project, wasn't even a good price. Got scammed! read more

Photo-Makers - One of the photos that was developed, that was shot in good lighting aswell. - Session Photography Near Me - Carson, California

Photo quality is great. Staff is nice. However, photo packages are overpriced! You cannot add on digital pictures unless you want to spend over $500. The photo package we got was number 1 for $350. It included 5 (5x7 prints) and only 5 digital photos. Who tf needs print photos anymore these days. You can honestly print them yourself for a fraction of what they are charging. The cold part is you can't even add on more digital photos for an extra fee (one by one) BUT they have it listed on there board as if you can. Price gouging at its finest!!! read more

Had our daughters 16th birthday pictures here. Although the experience seemed rushed the pictures were beautiful!!

I really want to give a big shout out to Anna. Thank you so much. You are an amazing photographer. This is the second year we take my daughter's pictures with Anna. She is super humble and she is great with kids. Thank you so much Anna. The staff here, are very professional. I really do recommend this place. The prices are a little pricey but it's worth it. They know how to do magic. read more

A month ago I booked a session to have some photos taken of my husband and I. My husband wanted to take some throwback photos that looked like the ones many of us took in the mall with the airbrush backgrounds back in the 2000s. We found this place online after searching for a studio that still offered these photos. We booked our session on his Birthday. We arrived at our appointment time and took our photos, the session lasted about 10 minutes. We walked around to the front and were shown our poses on a computer screen where they digitally inserted the background of our choice. We selected a few photos and proceeded to review their packages. I was completely caught off guard by how expensive this was. Granted, I know the price of everything has increased, but I found this to be a bit ridiculous for what we got. We were extremely disappointed that we wouldn't be receiving any of our photos the same day, unless we opted to purchase a pricier package that included digital photos. They refuse to let us purchase any digital files individually. If wanted a package that included 1 digital file the starting price was $275.95. This was really disappointing since we were doing these to celebrate my husband's birthday and he was hoping to share a photo for his birthday on social media. I would be more willing to invest in a photo package had it been for engagement photos or maternity photos but a 10 minute quick session at a mall photo studio did not seem worth it. I take full responsibility for not doing my research prior to booking the session and unfortunately walked away feeling ripped off. I also would like to add that the staff was not very sympathetic, understanding or willing to work with us in any way shape or form. Our photos were ready for us to pick up a week later. when my husband arrived to collect our order, it was missing two mugs that we had purchased along with our printed photos. To their credit they dropped the mugs off at my husband's work place so we wouldn't have to make the half hour drive again to pick them up. Overall, the photos came out nice but I do not feel like the finished product was equivalent to the amount of money we spent. Considering the fact we weren't even able to enjoy the photos on his actual birthday. I wish I would have spent that money doing something else to celebrate. read more

The photographer who assisted my daughter was excellent. You can tell he's a professional artist. Though how I wish the prices can be more affordable. But It is understandable because of its location. Overall, the photos of my daughter speaks for itself. 6-2019 read more

I Came in At Around 12:50, There's only one person working ... here it is 1:15 and still no one here to help me . I hear the worker in the back Lorena telling them she wants to take her own personal pics for her website in the back ! Like girl if u don't get out here and help the other people who are waiting besides trying to market yourself ! I just don't understand why they don't have more than one worker, doesn't make sense to me read more

I just picked up my special order cups. The next day that I put in my order I realized I put the wrong birthdate. I called and I think I talked to Lorena and she fixed the problem when they had already printed one cup. They went out of their way to fix the problem at no charge. That's five-star customer service. Thank you Lorena and everybody else there.I'll definitely remember you. read more

My family and I were looking for a photo studio to take a traditional family portrait so that we could hang it above our mantle in our home. My search led us to photo makers. I decided to have our pictures done there because of the affordable pricing on their packages and the various background options that they have for family photos. But it was really our experience that we had during the photo session which was very fun and the photographer (unfortunately I didn't get his name) was very professional and he made us feel as though he really cared about us being able to get the best possible photo! He took his time and arranged us in different poses and backgrounds. Immediately following our photo session we were able to view all of our photos and select the best ones out of the bunch and place our order all within one hours time!! read more

I had a pretty amazing experience here. I came in the evening time with my baby for her first photo shoot. We had gone though three outfits and she fell asleep on the third. But we managed to get some pretty nice photos while she was sleeping we paid five dollars for the fee and came back the next morning. The next morning went pretty smoothly I think considering my baby is five months old. They were patient and they helped suggest ideas. They do a very good job of helping you select really nice photos. And the cool thing is you can buy individual extras. You definitely want to come see them and make sure you give them a Yelp when it's all done I'll post a picture for you to judge read more

Nice employees and affordably priced. Good place for quick pictures. Photos came out pretty nice. I would say the quality is one step up from Picture People. I came here for children Easter photos. The place was very busy. Photos are given the next day after 6pm. Tip: No appointments taken...first come first served. Plan to arrive early to avoid crowds. read more

I rushed in on Mother's Day to pick up photos that unfortunately we're not ready. I explained the situation to Eddie who offered to make a trip over to the warehouse to pick the prince up for me because I needed them as gifts for Mother's Day. Eddie went above and beyond, you just don't find this type of service anymore. Exemplary customer service and definitely an asset to the to the company. Thank you Eddie you made my day! read more

Patience, creativity, and an eye for beauty are the words that come to mind when I think of Lorena and her team at Photo Makers at the Carson Mall. I have gotten my daughters pictures taken there several times and they were always beautiful. We recently took Christmas Photos as a family and taking photos with a toddler and a baby is not easy. Trying to get both children to look at the camera and smile at the same time is very difficult, which requires a lot of patience and a genuine smile. A few things that stood out to me was that Lorena was able to tell when our 6 month old was getting agitated and gave us time to feed her so that should would stay calm. Their backgrounds are very pretty and festive I was never worried if I was going to like the background or not. They make sure to give enough time to take pictures and change outfits several times, I never felt rushed or an inconvenience. The gentleman who helped us select our photos was very patient as well, when you have over 30 photos it's never easy to select a few, but he made the process easy for us. Lorena's creativity and eye for beauty was great, all of our family and friends adored our pictures. We will definitely be returning again. Thank you! read more

Service isn't that great. The front desk teenage guy was rude. I had to set his lil butt straight. These young kids lack respect. The photographer was getting irritated because my baby was crying and even keep suggesting things to calm my baby when I knew he was just irritated because he just woke up. She kept telling me to give him a bottle... LISTEN HEFFAH, I'm not about to give my baby a bottle when he is NOT hungry DARN!! Any who, it was HOT we were sweating. Do you think the photographer offered napkins or even acknowledged the effect it would have on our pictures? NOT AT ALL!! When browsing through my pictures, all I saw was sweat. My hair started sticking out and my cream I use for my sides began to turn white and creamy. She did not acknowledge those little flaws but the pictures did. Recommendation: Please get AC and train your associates on quality customer service. read more

RIDICULOUS prices. Like honestly how can they even charge those amounts! Then they still charge a sitting fee. No thanks. Rip off

Makes me sad that Photo Makers doesn't have a higher rating. I love this place! I took my senior graduation pictures with them and they did a remarkable job. My classmates were all jealous that my pictures looked so much better than their own (and for waaaaay less)! I don't know the name of the photographer I shot with but he made a great experience even better. Today I came in for my US passport photos. I called before I came in to find out the wait time and price. The phone attendant was kind and to the point. I came in and was serviced right away. My pictures look great and it was a cheap price. I'll certainly be back here again for some more pics! read more

Came here to take my kids holiday pictures, prices are very reasonable, Quality of pictures is ok. Giving them 3 starts because the people working in the front are very unorganized. They need to work on a better system on calling people in for pictures as when checking you out. Over all it was ok, would recommended this place to people just be patient with the girls in the front. read more

We took our daughter here for her 6 month portraits and we are extremely pleased with how they came out. One bummer is although we made an appointment, we did have to wait about 15 minutes because the previous shoot wasn't done. The young woman who took our daughter's photos was very polite and creative when it came to designing the set with props and such. Very "Pinterest-ish"....which is what I was looking for :) They were also patient when my little diva got grumpy/hungry and they had no problems with me feeding her mid-session. We will definitely come back here for her 1 year photos. The only thing I wish they offered is digital copies so I can use them to make cards or invitations if necessary. read more

I needed to get some pictures printed to display on the table at my wedding the next day. I found this place on yelp and I was hesitant because of the negative reviews. Lorena was helpful when I first got here but the frames they had didn't match the vibes of my wedding. So I walked over to Burlington Coat Factory and picked up some small table frames. When I returned to print my pictures they had closed a few minutes prior but Lorena and Lupe still took my order and printed my pictures. Lupe was so sweet and helpful :) I didn't even tell them it was for my wedding tomorrow. Great place, very nice people. read more

Horrible service and a rip off. Don't take grad pictures here unless you want to waste your money. Teenagers in the front are not professional at all and the girl seemed like she didn't know what she was doing. read more

A few days ago, I went. I am very satisfied with my pictures. Although the most "economic" graduation package is very pricey. Also, make sure they show you all your pictures because the girl only showed me half at first; I had to go a second time to see the other half, simply because she was not paying attention. Overall the photographer does an outstanding job! read more
