Two years apart, and both sessions were equally beautiful, fun, and everything I could have hoped for. What sets Janice apart isn't just her incredible eye for a photo - it's how genuinely present and thoughtful she is with my whole family. She was extremely patient and gentle with my newborn, and made my two year old feel completely at ease by leaning right into all the toys she kept eagerly showing off. Watching that connection unfold was honestly one of my favorite parts of the session. She even welcomed our two dogs without missing a beat! Having everything done in the comfort of my own home made it that much more special, personal, and stress-free. We absolutely loved having these milestone moments captured in our own space, surrounded by all the things that make our family ours. If you're looking for someone to document this fleeting, irreplaceable season of life with care, artistry, and a whole lot of heart, look no further than Chasing Hiromi. These are photos I will cherish forever. Thank you, Janice :)

On top of that, she even snuck my husband and me away for a few private photos, which I didn't expect but absolutely loved. Janice was wonderful at directing us without making anything feel stiff or awkward. She made the whole session feel easy and fun, and the kids stayed engaged the entire time (a small miracle). The photos turned out beautifully, and we genuinely enjoyed the process. Also, the turnaround time for delivery of photos was even faster than she estimated. We can't wait to work with her again and would recommend her to any family looking for someone patient, talented, and great with kids (and pets!).

We are so grateful for your professionalism, attention to detail, and the level of care you put into every shot. Your experience truly shows. One thing we really appreciated was how direct and clear you were with instructions. You guided us on exactly how to pose, where to place our hands, and how to position ourselves so the photos looked natural and elegant. Because of that, we felt confident the entire time and never felt awkward in front of the camera. Another amazing feature was the live cam viewing option. Being able to instantly see the photos you were taking gave both us and our guests so much excitement and reassurance. Every picture looked incredible, and it really showed us that we were working with a true professional. We absolutely love that we could immediately view the moments you captured. If you're looking for a wedding photographer, look no further. Emil's attention to detail, communication skills, and ability to make couples feel comfortable are truly superb. Highly recommend!

From her very first response, I knew we were in good hands. She congratulated us on our engagement, was warm and welcoming, and immediately took an interest in the vision we had for our photos. From start to finish, she was an absolute joy to work with! She arrived on time and suggested a beautiful location along Abbot Kinney in Venice that included convenient parking, which made the experience so easy and stress free because parking in LA gives me a lot of anxiety. Throughout our session, she was patient, creative, and incredibly thoughtful with her guidance. She offered helpful posing suggestions, made gentle corrections when needed, and was always open to our ideas. She made the entire experience feel collaborative and natural which I didn't think was possible. What impressed us most was her dedication. She never rushed us, took her time to ensure we captured a variety of pictures, and was even willing to travel to a second location so we could end our session with stunning sunset photos on the beach. Her kindness, warmth and professionalism made us feel confident throughout the entire hour photoshoot. When we received our gallery, we were blown away!!! Her editing style is beautiful, timeless, and true to life. Every image felt like us. She has an eye for detail and a genuine talent for capturing meaningful moments. If you're looking for a photographer for engagement photos, weddings, family portraits, or any special event, I cannot recommend her highly enough! She is talented, considerate, professional, and truly a wonderful person to be around. We are so grateful we found her and we will cherish these photos forever. THANK YOU MARY! :)

For my graduation photoshoot, Maritha made me feel really comfortable during the entire process. When I was talking to her beforehand, she offered me different locations and themes that would go along with my shoot. Her care and attention towards my shoot gave me the sense that she takes her work seriously. The photoshoot was more than a "stand, smile and pose" type of thing. It was personable and I was not intimated by the camera. Maritha's playful personality made the time so enjoyable and I was able to feel like myself during the entire shoot. Maritha was very efficient with processing the photos and I was more than pleased with the end results. She created beautiful snapshots that will forever be remembered, and I am so blessed to have met such a wonderful and well rounded photographer.

WOW!!!! Cindy is one…read moreof the most naturally gifted photographers I have ever worked with. She has a true talent for discovering and capturing the true beauty and essence of an individual. I was completely blown away by her skills and the final results of my photoshoot. I was nervous initially booking the shoot since I've always felt extremely awkward in front of a camera. I tend to freeze up and have always been told to "relax my face" a million times. Whenever someone is about to take a picture, I suddenly realize I have arms and hands and don't know what to do with them! Enter Cindy. Her sweet, warm, friendly energy put me immediately at ease. She gave me such helpful, specific tips on how to position my body, where to look, and what to think about so I looked completely relaxed, natural, and cute in the photos! (not meaning to be narcissistic as I have plenty of extremely not cute photos that have been taken of me in the past - thank you Cindy for somehow magically bringing out my beauty through your lens!!!) Cindy was extremely creative and has a great eye for locations and lighting. We shot in the afternoon in different places around her neighborhood which was clean, safe, elegant, and lovely. Our shoot was about 2 hours long with 2 outfit changes - I brought a few different sets of clothing and Cindy helped me to pick out a couple to wear which I was extremely happy with. I am beyond thrilled with the final results, which were lightly and expertly retouched that made me look real and not overly processed or fake at all. I would highly, HIGHLY recommend Cindy for anyone interested in getting head shots, portraits, lifestyle shots, or even engagement shoots done. Right now she has an amazing special going on and I would definitely take advantage of that ASAP as long as she's still offering it! Thank you again, Cindy. I am grateful for your talent and for sharing your inherent gift and ability to effortlessly capture that "it" factor in everyone you work with. Five stars all the way!!

I had specific edits for her... my hair had flyaways, my clothing had wrinkles, and basic beauty stuff. She executed every request I had.

As a professional makeup artist (and actor) I have to say her beauty photoshop editing is OUTSTANDING! Her work could be in any magazine or movie poster. I will definitely recomend her to abosolutley every single person for whom I do headshot makeup and hair. And her prices are great for working actors!

Jennifer was a great photographer to work with! Highly recommended :)…read more With the sea of photographers in LA, my fiance and I really didn't know where to start with photographer selection. We googled many photographers and found photos we liked but many were already booked or out of our price range. Then we thought to book a photographer who was familiar with our ceremony and reception site (the Natural History Museum) since it was a such a challenging space to work as far as photography goes. This ended up working out amazingly well for us. We found Jennifer, through the museum's blog, along with a few other photographer's, but we thought Jennifer's style matched ours best. Luckily, Jennifer had not booked our wedding date yet and I went to meet with her right away. We had a bunch of sample albums for me to flip through and showed me all her pricing packages. Considering we got SO much value from her standard package, we were set and put in a deposit right away. On the day of the wedding, she was prompt and got to work immediately, taking photos of my gown and shows before I got in them. Then she had some really great ideas for some all girl photos with my bridesmaids before we all drove over to the venue. Once at the venue, she coordinated our "first look" photos between my husband and I perfectly He was so surprised to see my in my gown and her photos captured the moment perfectly. She was also able to cover all the different shots I wanted: rose garden, outside the historic museum steps, dinosaurs, family shots, the works! Jennifer and her assistant took over 1300 images after all was said and done. After the wedding, she uploaded all the photos to pictage very quickly and I spent a month selecting 200 images for my album. I also got $200 worth of credit on pictage as well which was much appreciated. The album is gorgeous and I couldn't be happier with the way everything came out.

I'm not sure how to describe it, but when you get Jennifer you're not signing up for boring portraits. We loved working with her and are so happy with her photos. We used her for both engagement and wedding. Plus, she put together this highlight reel so we can send to our friends instead of hundreds of photos: http://www.jenniferroper.com/slideshow/eric.hannah/ She's really professional but also friendly and warm.

Since then they have beautifully documented all of my major milestones: my daughter's newborn shoot, our first home, my engagement, and now our wedding! To say these ladies are incredible is an understatement! They go above and beyond to get the perfect picture including Donald Duck voices to get a kid's attentions, throwing themselves on the ground, or helping their clients get to the roof for a stunning LA skyline at sunset. They are kind, generous with their time, and make you feel like a princess. I was fortunate to have 4 photographers at my wedding and have Sasha as my makeup artist. Sasha's style as an artist is to highlight and enhance while also keeping the client looking like themselves - her work is amazing! As soon as the team walked on-site they were making flat lays, scouting for locations, taking group shots, and knew exactly when and where to be to keep the wedding on track. I am beyond excited to see my photos and have full trust that they will capture all of the joy, sparkle, and magic of this momentous day for my family and friends. Thank you to my LDP family! I absolutely love you guys and will see you at our next shoot!
