My husband and I had a couples glam photoshoot done with Rex and Pete at their studio in Huntington Beach and I loved how the photos turned out. We hadn't done a professional photoshoot before and were hella awkward, but Rex and Pete had us laughing and feeling more comfortable in no time. Since it was a glam photoshoot and in black and white, the pictures made us seem more youthful. It softened wrinkles and I didn't notice the raging pimple that I had covered up with some concealer. I googled what to wear beforehand for a black and white photoshoot and it's best to wear monochromatic colors. We wore white tops and the end result was simple and clean. Since we both wore glasses, Rex had us take off our glasses for some of the photos so that we got pics with and without glasses because we look different with them on and off. read more

"Boo!" That's what I hear in my head all night after our photo shoot with Rex. No, he doesn't say cheese to the kids. He says "Boo", and I guess they love that more! Rex does relate pretty well to kids since he has 2 of his own. I know this because I do know him on a personal and a professional level. The shoot started around 4:30pm at Heritage Park here in Cerritos. Rex knows the kids will need to take time to warm up to him so he let's them play for the first 30 minutes. The kids will always be taking breaks here and there so when he finds the opportunity, he will whip out his 5D and shoot multiple times. Unfortunately for us, it was just a really hot day on the day of the shoot. It was the last warm day I can remember , inching to around 100 degrees. So at first, some of the shots when I got them back, I can see the sweat on my daughter's face. That's how clear his pictures were! So those pretty much can go into the recycle bin. But of course, there were some awesome shots and I believe he also photoshopped a few that I like because I can tell it wasn't natural lighting. I too, am a avid photographer so I know about composition, lighting, focus, etc. I didn't have any pictures in mind, just a generic shot. I think that was the only drawback for our shoot. So if you know what you want, or a style you want, you will need to convey that to Rex in advance. I was just needing a few shots for our annual Christmas cards and I think I found a few that I will be uploading to Costco.com's website soon. I found a few funny ones, including this one http://s3-media2.ak.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/b0OXmqMTArNXhRjVmAmsGQ/l.jpg Btw, Rex' humor can be a little raw and strange. I've known him for a few years so I think it takes that long to actually "get it'. But professionally, he's good at what he does. I'm a little picky about my pictures , so I would say Rex is a 4.5. Since he got the pictures I like to me within 24 hours, I rounded him up to a 5. I would recommend him for future kids photo shoots. read more

Rex Photography - Session Photography Near Me

Rex took some amazing pictures for my Daughters "one year" I love how they turned out I am currently trying to decide which ones I was to purchase as a larger size. Rex is very professional he made us feel very relaxed which made taking the photos easier. He got some amazing shots of our daughter which we are so in love with. I recommend Rex to anyone who wants affordable and great quality pictures. he is so easy going and was very patient with our one year old daughter and our one year old dog! Rex, we will be back, maybe a Halloween shoot is in order :)) read more

We hired Rex to take our family photos that included my wife's parents, her siblings their individual families which that in its self was challenging. Overall the group photos were nice. As for the individual pictures I was expecting more than generic poses. I recommend that you have a really good idea of what you want and convey that to Rex. It was great that Rex was able to book our photo shoot on short notice. The location was nice but it was at a park and it was a little crowded; which made it a difficult to capture photos without people in the background, although he was able to edit some of that out after several conversations with him. It took a lot of back and forth to finally get the picture that was decent to blow up to a bigger size. We just wanted the best pic from the ones he took. It shouldn't have taken so much back and forth to get the picture we wanted. At the end the main family picture is nice. read more

First off, like many, it is my first time doing a shoot. I needed pictures for my upcoming graduation at CSU, Fullerton and also some professional head shots for business networking websites like LinkedIn. Rex is definitely top notch! He is very knowledgable and easy going. As a first timer, I really felt comfortable doing the shoot, and it was not even awkward at all! He can also relate to you on so many levels, as he and I had so much in common. I gave Rex five stars because not only is he professional and knowledgable, but because he is also very flexible. Once I called him, we made an arrangement that very day to do the shoot!! No other photographer out there would do that and they would require an advance appointment. Overall, I very much so enjoyed my photo shooting session with Rex and look forward to continue doing it with Rex. Pictures are top notch and very Hi Res.! I definitely recommend Rex! read more

Rex did our 1yr old photos and they came out cute... I like that when you first meet him he sits you down and does like a quick get to know you session. That works well and sets you at ease right at the beginning. It was hard getting my little one to smile since he was ready for his nap but Rex was able to coax a few out of him and those are just precious. My only concern was that I was not reminded that I had my sunglasses on the top of my head, so most of our family pictures I can't use to blow up and that left me feeling a little disappointed. With that Rex is very friendly and professional his prices are definitely reasonable. I will still recommend him to my friends and family. read more

Rex has a great personality and made my family felt really at ease during the whole photo shoot. The pictures came out great and they brought out my family's personality, which is amazing. He has become the main photographer for the majority of my family events. I recommend him to any family who wants a photographer who's easy going and takes amazing pictures. read more

Rex is the man. I hired him in January 2012. I wanted a gift for my dad, the man who has everything. I thought some family photos would be a unique gift. Rex made our family relaxed, and even sent a few pictures for preview that evening. Needless to say, dad loved them. Since then we have hired Rex for my grandmothers birthday, and mothers day. Always prompt, professional, and provides a great product. read more

Professional, excellent, and beautiful photos...definitely very pleased! Everything is really professional, including the planning to prep, and the in home studio is fabulous. With the kids I wasn't sure if anyone was going to behave, but Rex managed to capture it all. He really knows how to work with kids...even shy ones and rambunctious ones! We told Rex what we were hoping to capture and he knew exactly what to do and got better photos than even I can anticipate! What's amazing is that he manages to get gorgeous photos in a relaxed and fun way which makes it a really great experience for all of us! I've shown the photos to our friends and family and have gotten tons of compliments. The latest one was 'this is the best family portrait that you've had'...I'm pretty modest and usually super picky but I have to agree Rex truly did a wonderful job! The hardest part is deciding which photo(s) to enlarge to display in our home! Rex also got the pictures to us super fast and the quality is excellent. We will be calling Rex for future photo shoots. We can't think of anyone better! read more

Rex took awesome pictures of one of my real estate listings. He showed off the beautiful features of the house such as the upgraded kitchen, backyard putting green, grand entrance, etc. His pictures generated tremendous interest and house showings. I received multiple offers on it and opened escrow quickly. He was professional, easy to work with and had a quick turnaround. I highly recommend Rex to any real estate professional who wants gorgeous pictures to represent the property he/she is listing. read more

Rex was so great to work with - especially with our big family group of 9. :) He remained calm and relaxed, and was full of great ideas capturing the whole crew as well as smaller groupings! Before the shoot I was impressed with his professionalism. After the shoot, I was impressed with the ease with which he photographed our family. The photos I've seen so far look wonderful! I can't wait to see the rest (shot just a few days ago)!!! Highly recommend! read more

Rex, a humorous & funny photographer, who took our family pictures. We arrived about half an hour earlier than our appointment to enjoy the view & flowers on a beautiful garden on a sunny day, but my children got hot and grouchy didn't want to take the pictures anymore. And that upset me and I lost the mood of taking the pictures already. Rex talked to us patiently and made us relaxed and laughed. Before we realized, his camera was all ready and started taking our pictures with our natural smiling faces. We love the pictures. Very professional! read more

Thanks again!!- Vamsi and Lakshmi read more

There probably isn't anything more I can add to all the other positive comments already written about Rex in Yelp. He did my photo for my About Page for my website and it was quite impressive how he was able to draw out the most natural photo in the shortest time. Absolute genius with his ability to see and capture the moment in a fraction of a second. A truly gifted artist. Get his service while he's still affordable because he may be working for GQ or Vogue someday. He's really that good ! read more

Rex is an awesome photographer. I needed someone to come to my place to capture my newborn and family. He did a great job. He was very patient, and went above and beyond what we expected. Rex has a natural knack of making everyone very comfortable. My 7 year old was smiling and getting along so well with him. He is definitely good with kids and you can tell. I was so fortunate to have found Rex and have decided to ditch the mall studios. Pictures came out wonderful! I was so happy he was able to capture the infant and my 7 year old perfectly. Truly a great value for such talented photography services. read more

He's the best, made us feel very comfortable (especially me since I am 39 weeks pregnant) it was cold outside but it was alright. The price was great the amount of photos we got was ridiculous (in a great way, I'd never go to a 1 hour photo place again) and most importantly we took our time and had fun. It was a great experience and I can't wait for our son to get here so he can take photos with us... Thanks Rex read more
