Around that time my company was looking for a photographer to take full body pictures of our team for our new website. After working with Sam at SMPS, and receiving my headshots from him, I immediately knew I wanted him to work with our office. He was very prompt and kept the environment very easy and lighthearted. He helped everyone relax and made us all feel very comfortable. Our company had all of us do one standard pose and one "fun" pose. He worked with everyone to ensure that our personalities were capture in the shot and highlighted all of our different hobbies with a use of props. He was absolutely great to work with and I am so ecstatic with how the pictures came out. He made all of us look fantastic! I highly recommend working with Sam if you are in need of professional photos. You will not be disappointed!!

Sam is an excellent photographer and such a pleasure to work with. He was professional, polite, had…read moreeverything set up on time so he could help me make the most of our session. I called him for a last minute appointment and he was able to fit me in the same week as I am heading back to college next week. Even before the session, he emailed me once to confirm the session and another to remind me of the session that was happening the next morning. His emails were professional and helpful because they include tips on what to wear and payment information. The total session only took about 45 minutes and he had the shots retouched and completed by the end of the same day. I highly recommend him for any professional head shots you may need, he took my head shots for my LinkedIn page and they came out amazing. I am very pleased with my overall experience and result!

We've had a great experience working with Mike. We hired him for our engagement photos. Then we…read morehired him as our wedding photographer. We then had him come back to do our family photos when our baby was born. He is professional, responsive and generous with digital file access. We value Mike's creative perspective. For example, our engagement shoot was outdoors and in addition to taking the myriad of more 'traditional' shots that I wanted, Mike captured artistic shots of us that incorporated our reflections in a pool of water, waves crashing around us. He has experience doing a variety of styles which means he brings more to the table than a typical portrait photographer. Highly recommended.

I was introduced to Mike through my brother, when I was looking for my wedding photographer. I was…read morereally nervous about getting the right person to not only capture the day, but the right person to make everyone feel at ease while under the lense... and boy did Mike DELIVER! Mike was so easy to work with, we met him at his house to discuss shots we liked, and game planned the long day with him- he was so professional and calming, my husband and I walk away from our meeting so excited that we had hit it off so well, and at ease knowing how chill his vibe was. His pricing was very reasonable, and he worked with us to make sure we got the most out of his services (we had him for 10 hours!) and he was SO generous with the digital content, giving us the 2000+ images to us over dropbox. Mike also realized our job was on the larger and asked a second photographer, Manny, to assist in making sure they caught every part of our day. Mike and Manny showed up right on time for our wedding, and fit in seamlessly with both bridal parties as we readied. He was so calm and cool, even when we had a drama bridesmaid incident that delayed the ceremony over an hour, really cutting short the time we had planned for many planned shots. Mike captured so many personal little moments between my husband and I that are worth so much more than any posed photo. He took the time to really get to know my husband and I and it shows through in his photos. He is really an artist, and was very creative with angles, filters, and focus during our marathon wedding around San Francisco that included windy rooftops and a SFFD Firetruck. I really can't express how happy I am with our photos, and how wonderful our experience with Mike was, we even invited him to stay late and celebrate with party after he was done behind the camera! I would recommend him to any of my friends or family, and have complete faith in the work he delivers. Well done Mike!

If this is what he could do for one picture in such little time, I can only imagine what he could do for a bigger event, such as a wedding. Thanks Christopher!

Look. You need…read moreprofessional headshots and your selfie skills won't do this time. You ask around your social circles for recs, but your degenerate friends don't have need for professional headshots. You don't know any pro photographers so you visit Yelp for ideas. You get to Yelp and there are too many options. How do you choose? You'll want a photographer with professional equipment and the ability to use all of it effectively. You'll want a photographer who is efficient - one that doesn't waste time on shots that you aren't going to want. You'll want a photographer that can work with clients of various experience levels. And if you could get all of this at a fair price with responsive service, you'd probably be happy to go get your pictures taken. Well look no further. For a rank novice like me, this couldn't have gone better. Brian was efficient, professional and fast. Even though I had no idea what I was doing, Brian made the process easy. Photos came out far better than I expected. I'm very pleased.

He gave me awesome tips for the day of the shoot that I would have NEVER thought of (outfit ideas, etc.), and he was so collaborative and honest with his feedback during the session. I felt safe that he was really and truly trying to get the best shot possible in regards to color choices against my skin, glasses vs. no glasses, stuff I don't ever think about and can't really see as the person in the frame. During the session he let me see previews, explained everything he was doing, and really made me feel a part of the process. He got me giggling and took an AMAZING shot of my dorky laugh, which he edited and let me keep because he's a Super Sweet Amazingpants McGee. I've gotten compliments already on my fresh headshot; no stuffy corporate looks here. He's all about human, genuine, professional images. I can't thank him enough for that; stuffy isn't my bag, and he totally gets it. Why are you still reading this?! Go schedule a session!! :)

He put in so much effort to get our family laughing and captured so many genuine, candid moments. He kept the energy up for over three hours, even when we were all starting to get a little tired, and somehow continued finding creative ways to get great shots. One of our favorite surprises was that he took us to Lombard Street afterward and captured some incredible bonus photos that we weren't even expecting. They ended up being some of our favorite pictures from the day! We're so grateful for how much care, enthusiasm, and creativity he brought to our wedding. The photos are beautiful, but what really stood out was how much effort he put into making the experience itself fun and memorable. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer who truly goes the extra mile.
