This is my 3rd time doing a photoshoot with Helen! She is absolutely amazing and makes everything so stress free even with a toddler. She knows how to redirect my toddler while still keeping the photoshoot experience fun and memorable for her. She is flexible and open to my ideas while also telling me what she thinks would look best. I did two in studio photoshoots with her and one where she came to my home and we did outdoor. I have received at least 25-30 images that I think are amazing from each photoshoot that we have done and most were mini photoshoots 30 min. Her turnaround time is also faster than any other photographer I have used and her prices are so reasonable. I highly recommend her. read more

Mini holiday session- don't recommend. She overbooks herself and then rushes through them. My mini session was done in 8 mins...after starting late because she was far behind. As another person mentioned- she doesn't try to help you adjust to get the best pics- just replies with I'll edit that out. I just think maybe she is trying to get the most money/clients done in few days...leading to not good quality service. Don't stress over pictures especially if you have small children- find another photographer. read more

I go three time so pic my baby, The last time this lady just give me wait 3mon to the photo. I call and ask what's happening and she BLOCK my phones, We close to make it by DROPBOX but she do whatever she want by email and not answering and blocked, THIS NOT A SERVICE FOR CUSTOMERS! Never I don't see ppl act like that ! read more

Fantastic experience - Helen is wonderful with newborns, very responsive & communicative, and extremely talented with a camera. Sorting through all the LA newborn photographers was difficult - we didn't know what to look for and couldn't book too far in advance since due to..childbirth! I reached out a few days after our baby came and Helen got back to me within a few hours with her availability and sent her a deposit via Venmo. She's converted her guest house into a studio and has tons of outfits, headbands, wraps & props. Not knowing what to expect we brought a few stuffed animals and outfits, but only used her items. She works with an assistant who helps handle, dress & pose the baby and completely customized the entire shoot to our preferences as opposed to a script of setups & going through the motions. She was so receptive and completely put us at ease (she and her assistant have spent much more time around newborns that we have, we even picked up a few handling tips!). Website is fantastic with detailed instructions & transparent pricing. Out little lass did great and after a few hours left feeling we made the BEST decision and can't wait for our next session. read more

So glad to have found TT Photography. Helen was very patient with me- a very picky FTM. She's great with infants and was able to make my LO smile big, allowing to capture many great shots for the cake smash and family portraits. Looking forward to future sessions! read more

My experience was not as expected at all. A bit disappointed. Firstly, this is a home studio, she used the garage as a studio, it was over 100 degrees in the garage that day. My son was irritated and did not cooperate due to the heat. The service was extremely rushed, she did not give my son enough time to get comfortable. Kids especially toddlers need to get comfortable at new places. I also feel that a good photographer can make a kid smile. The pictures did not come out like I was expecting. I honestly feel I could have done the same thing she did myself at home. A good picture you cannot tell if it was edited. My son's photos look very edited. Overall my experience was not great. Not happy with the money I spent. Lastly, her communication could be better! I learned my lesson not to trust yelp reviews. Her energy and vibe is also off. read more

Best photographer ever! I had a cake smash shoot for my twins, and it was everything I had imagined! Helen did such an amazing job organizing everything. She communicates very well and makes sure everything comes out just the way you would like it. Her assistant is amazing as well. She made the boys feel very comfortable during the photo shoot. I couldn't have asked for anything more. I had a hard time choosing a place to go to for their cake smash, but I'm so happy I chose Tiny Toes. I will definitely be coming back for a holiday photo shoot! read more

***EXCELLENT PHOTOGRAPHER MADE US FEEL COMFORTABLE*** ***HELEN WORKS SO WELL WITH NEWBORNS*** We recently took our 2.5 week old to Helen's studio for a mini photoshoot (about one hour). Helen's studio is custom tailored for newborns and has all the things you would have at home for your newborn. She also offered us delicious fresh coffee and water. Our baby was fussy but Helen helped us calm him down and put him to sleep. We just received the photos and they are beautiful! Helen is a great photographer and did an excellent job with the editing. We are very happy with the final product, and we plan to return to Helen for a one year photo shoot. I strongly recommend Tiny Toes Photographs. PS- We shopped around and we were not able to find a deal as good as the one Tiny Toes offers. All of the five star reviews mean should tell you this is a great deal too! read more

What an amazing photographer! The best in the business! I love how the pictures turned out and everything about the experience! Helen is amazing with babies! She made the studio so cozy and comfortable for baby. She has so many good props and ideas for pictures. We will for sure come back for more pictures for our son. If you are wondering about a photographer, pick her and you will love it ! Thank you Helen for such a wonderful experience and pictures. read more

I really would have loved to give this review a five stars, but the experience I had does not warrant it. I bought a package (a mini holiday session and then a milestone session). I really wanted to cancel after my holiday session but I bought a package so I assumed I could not, as we did not have a good family picture AND I felt the vibe was a bit off during the session. When I asked for an edit for one of my family pictures, she was unable to do it and gave me a picture with my cleavage just blurred. I could have done that myself. Fast forward to our milestone session few months later- I specifically stated in my email that I wanted the baby tub as one of the setups and it was not there. There were two setups with a baby bed instead (both similar). When I addressed this during the second bed setup, she stated that it would take time to set up the tub and that would be an additional cost. So I had to pass, as I felt for some reason I was in the wrong. I am not sure why it wasn't there in the first place??! I mentioned it in our conversation days before the photoshoot day. I receive my pictures, and I wanted to purchase the photographer chosen gallery, but now she increased it by $50. I questioned her about this as last time it was $50 less and she certainly was not too keen about me asking about the price change. She did end up charging me the same price. I receive my pictures and I chose certain ones for her to edit. I ask her to crop my daughter out as my son did not have many solo ones, and she did exactly that- she gave me a picture cropped. You can even see part of my daughter in the picture. I guess I wasn't specific enough and what I meant was photoshop her out as I could crop a picture myself. Additionally, I asked for her to put a filter on two of my pictures and she stated she does not add different filter options, when the picture did not even have a filter on it in the first place. She ended the email with her stating she has completed her editing for my images and that I should reach out to a retouching company for my editing requests. I don't normally leave reviews, but I felt I had to for this experience. I have worked with other LA photographers and they were all great experiences. This one was quite stressful and my editing requests, which were quite basic, were not fulfilled. I don't feel I should have to pay a retouching company to edit my pictures, which was part of my package anyways. The amount of money I paid, the edits should have been done for me. read more

I've had two newborn sessions and one holiday family session with Tiny Toes Photography. Helen is a professional, creative, and accommodating photographer. She is so gentle and experienced while handling newborns, and has a eye for beautiful aesthetics. She creates such a warm and relaxing environment during her sessions at her comfortable home studio. She is very easy to communicate with over e-mail and always takes into consideration your desired theme or colors, but also can add her own creative - and seriously cute - touches. Her prices are reasonable and she conveniently accepts payment over Venmo. For our holiday session, she even allowed our dog into the studio so we could include the whole family! If anything 2020 has taught me, it's that life is precious, and I'm so glad Helen has beautifully captured my most absolute sacred of memories with my family. read more

We booked a smash cake session with Helen for our son's first birthday. Helen was great. She had a cute little set ready to go when we got there based on some pictures we sent her and was amazing with our son. The pictures turned out beautiful too! Definitely worth the money to get such amazing memories photographed. We will definitely do more sessions with Helen in the future! Let the pictures below speak for themselves... read more

We booked a session for our holiday card. The session was for 30 min but felt rushed and was done in 22min. The photographer made zero effort adjusting our posture or make recommendations on what do. All she did was click the camera on us. The picture were very bad quality and not what we intended to have. Maybe it was due to the holiday seasons but It's not professional or acceptable. read more

We just did our one year old's cake smash photos with tiny toes and couldn't be happier! I had avoided doing professional photos with my daughter since she was born because I dreaded the process of doing a shoot with a baby, but Helen made everything so easy for us. From designing the perfect set and creating a baby/family friendly atmosphere to capturing the greatest photos and delivering them in a timely manner, she had it all down. My daughter and I loved every minute of the shoot and can't wait for another opportunity to work with Tiny Toes again! read more

I'm a first time mommy and I had no idea that booking a photographer for newborn pictures had age preferences. I also didn't book one in advance because I didn't plan on getting them done. But I had a change of heart, and couldn't find one who would take my son who was 1 month old. But I was lucky to find Helen. She responded to my questions quickly and happily accepted that my son was not in the 2-10 days old preference. She assured me we would still get great shots but it may be more of a challenge because he was not as sleepy to work with for those sleepy head shots. I was fortunate to get a last minute booking, and was greeted at the door of her studio with a genuine smile. She took interest right away with our baby and offered us some water and to watch her as she worked. She was so gentle and loving, and talked to our son during the session. Her studio was nice and warm, perfect for newborns and the white noise drowned out any distractions. She worked quickly to wrap and change him from different shots, all while being nurturing and still checking up on us. Our son didn't fall asleep until the end, but she captured all the great moments. Our session was a great experience. She sent our pictures within a few days and then our final proofs the next day. I loved our pictures so much I booked my son's 1 year cake smash with Helen. If you're looking for a photographer for your newborn or any milestone, or event go to Tiny Toes. read more

8/27/18: Helen is truly talented!!! She once again made it possible for us to have amazing results!! Helen is fast to capture images that later turn out to be great! She even made a crying image look so beautiful - see the pic I attached and that was literally my daughter tearing (it was close to nap time). Helen's daughter was also great as she helped make my toddler smile and laugh!! Helen's husband also brought out their newborn to help my daughter smile. They are truly a sweet family. Thank you Helen for giving us the BEST 18 month pics! Below: Review from 7 months ago I never imagined how fun and exciting a first year cake smash session could be...and all thanks to Helen! My daughter was cooperating here and there but wasn't smiling at all, so Helen was quick to find ways to make her laugh. So yes, she played with her as she was going at it with her camera. I'm in love with my pics! Just make sure you tell her what you want exactly as a background and she'll work with you. read more

She was the first one I thought about when it was time for cake smash photo session for my one year old son and she did an extraordinary job! Also, her assistant was the sweetest lady. Thank you so much Helen, keep up the good Work! read more

I couldn't say more good things about our two sessions shooting with Helen!

I'm so happy with the way our photos came out, Helen was super patient and she helped us get our baby to fall asleep even though he was almost two months and was even able to swaddle him. Helen and her assistant were very gentle and caring and we had such a great experience working with them. We are definitely returning for another session in the future! read more

Helen is absolutely amazing! She is so friendly and sweet and makes taking pictures of babies look so easy (when I know it's not!) She took our sons newborn photos when he was was born and they came out so adorable, so we just came back for his one year smash cake pictures and they came out so perfect. I received the album to go through all the pictures and pick which ones we liked best, and I couldn't help but cry because she captured the most beautiful photos of our son we will cherish forever. Thank you Helen for taking the most amazing pictures of our baby, can't wait to see you again soon!! read more

Helen made my baby's cakesmash shoot so easy! She was responsive to any of my emails. And the background was exactly what I wanted and her collection of clothes and accessories for the shoot was perfect. I've had professional photos taken during my baby shower, when my baby was born and now for her one year. So suffice to say I have plenty of experience with hiring photographers. What I loved most about Helen was how she kept cool under pressure while my baby had a meltdown during the photos. She knew how to distract her with toys and songs long enough so that we could get our shots. I was really impressed by that. Finally she was super FAST with getting me my photos. I couldn't wait to share them with my friends and family and I had my pics within days of the shoot. It was a perfect experience and I am so grateful to Helen. read more

I had an image in my head of what I wanted my pictures to be, and Helen got it! Nailed it. She is a baby whisperer. My little guy is extremely fussy and doesn't do well with new people Helen made him feel so comforted and warm. She really is an amazing lady. Her assistant was also so kind and professional. Helen is a perfectionist with children and photography try her you will love the results !! Xoxo read more

Her personality is super nice and welcoming She is so talented and professional with her work - and super super super fast !!!! And her prices are reasonable!!

Helen is a find! She's naturally caring and great with a camera, before you know it, you have some precious memories captured :) She goes out of her way to provide a great environment where you and your child can just be yourselves and it shows in shots she's able to capture. I look forward to working with her again for many shoots to come! read more

Helen and her team did such a phenomenal job today taking cake smash photos of our little one! She was so patient and paid attention to the smallest details. We found her on Yelp and made an appointment to see her studio and her work prior to booking and just walking into her studio at the first interaction we knew she is the one not just for our cake smash but we felt we found our photographer for any future events as well. She is super flexible and accommodating. Something that stood out was during our very last photo shoot for the day when we thought we had finished she all of the sudden identified a really great potential photo opportunity that she had envisioned and asked us if we can do one last picture. That gesture really showed how she truly cares about her job. We are not the easiest to please but she over exceeded our expectations! Thank you so so much for all your hard work and dedication. read more

We've worked with Helen twice so far and absolutely love her! First one was a family session at Griffith park. Helen captured the fall colors and our family dynamic perfectly. Second session was newborn session for our daughter. Unlike some photographers who only does shooting in their studio, Helen was very accommodating and traveled to our home for only $50 extra. She brought so many props with her! She spent about 2.5 hours doing the shoot. She was so loving and gentle with the baby, carefully folding her into different poses. The pictures again came out very well. In short, we love Helen because she is sweet, highly skilled, AND her prices are so reasonable! We will be booking our daughter's 6-month sitting session and cake smash with her, and probably more family sessions in the future. We can't recommend her enough! read more

Helen is very talented and has a great eye for photography!!! She exudes great, calm energy which is so essential when photographing a little one! Helen heard my requests and delivered! We are happy we took the time and invested in this photo shoot read more

My family recently had a photo shoot with Helen that exceeded my expectations! These are the first professional photos we've had taken since our baby was born, and her pictures captured his personality and expressions in such a beautiful way. She was fun, easy-going, and made the photo shoot extremely comfortable. Helen got the images back to us very quickly and was great with communication throughout the entire process. I will forever cherish the photos she took, and look forward to the next time we get to work with Helen. We will definitely use her again! read more

LOVED our experience working with Tiny Toes. Helen and her assistant were incredible with our newborn, very warm and welcoming to my family and I, took the cutest photos and were very detail oriented. Helen is a very talented photographer and we could not have been happier with the photos we received. We look forward to being longtime customers of Tiny Toes! We will be back for sure! read more

Having experience as being a model has helped Helen become the amazing photographer she is! She is creative with her decorations and shoots. She's very accommodating & produces photos to treasure for a lifetime! I highly recommend Helen for all your holiday/birthday/any occasion photos! read more

Helen of Tiny Toes Photog. ROCKS! Not only does she have an amazing eye, but her bright and playful personality make her so much fun to work with! This woman goes above and beyond to get the perfect shot. Our son loves to be outside, and he's so busy that it's often quite difficult to get him to pay attention to a camera at all, much less catch a smile. Helen had so many tricks up her sleeve and was literally down in the dirt to get the shot. She was able to catch so many aspects of our little guys personality. We were blown away with the beautiful images we received. (Her turnaround time is impressive too). Will definitely hire Helen again to help us commemorate our little ones next big milestone :) read more

Helen is gentle professional and creative with her shots. Her cake smashing pictures are incredible. You are made to feel comfortable in her home studio or in her garden or park or place of your choice and her props and outfits are fun to choose from. Helen is a patient kind and considerate while taking either her new born shots or family shots, plus she is an experienced mother and knows how to be around children and to work with them. read more

We had the greatest experience shooting our daughter's newborn photos with Helen at Tiny Toes Photography. She and her assistant had the most adorable outfits and props, they knew how to soothe our baby, and the entire experience was wonderful. I would highly recommend them! I even purchased a 3 month photo session in advance because the experience was so great. I plan to work with Helen for many photoshoots to come!! read more

Helen is fantastic! I sent her an inquiry on Yelp and she was very quick to respond. We discussed the vision for the shoot and she was very accommodating. Helen was able to take my baby's 3 month milestone photo session the very next morning. When we arrived, Helen was ready to go and let us pick an outfit and headbands for accessories. The photo session was quick and a breeze. Helen really has a way with babies (aside from taking great photos). We got the gallery of photos the very same day and loved every single one so much, we ended up purchasing the extras from our package. Highly recommended! read more

I had such an amazing experience, Helen and her assistant are super sweet. The pictures turned out great. Highly recommend :)

I contacted Helen after waiting over a month to plan our newborn photo shoot! She was so gracious and reassured me that at 5 weeks old our baby boy could still have a go at newborn pictures. We quickly scheduled a session within a couple of days at her home studio in Sherman Oaks, as her main studio was under temporary construction. Helen's home studio was beautiful and very cozy! She has literally every background, prop, textile, and knit swaddle that you can think of. During the shoot, she used several sound and shush machines to create a serene environment for our 5 week old to relax and eventually fall asleep. She is truly the baby whisperer and had our little guy sleepy and in the cutest newborn poses within the first 10-15 mins! We followed her advice on keeping him awake just before the shoot as well as feeding him right before - we also brought a bottle and pacifier to the shoot to help keep him sleepy. It worked like a charm. Helen is warm, kind, and has such a beautiful voice that she uses to sing and lull the babies to sleep. She was also patient with our wiggly guy, even when he tinkled a few times during the session. Our photos turned out really well and we got the newborn poses we truly wanted. We will be back for his 6-month milestone pictures as well as the infamous Cake Smash shoot at 12-months. We are so thankful to have found Helen! read more

Helen's photography is amazing and stunning. She photographed my 10-year-old daughter and captured an ethereal beauty that takes my breath away. She is amazing at capturing a look, a feeling, and a personality. Helen is a true pro! read more

Helen is such a pro and an absolute joy to work with! She has done holiday pics for my toddler, and maternity and newborn pics for my second baby. Her studio is great and full of so many costumes and props to make the photos look amazing. Also, because Helen is a mom, she really knows how to work with babies and kids to get great pictures. I have loved all of my shoots with her and you will too! read more

We had the pleasure of working with Helen at Tiny Toes Photography on a recent editorial shoot for our company Rupert Bye kids, her attention to detail and the vibrant colors and fabrics she captured were just what we were looking for, she was amazing right from the get go, helping us with location ideas and deciding on what pieces in the collection would translate best on camera. We shot at the old LA zoo and couldn't have been happier, she is really great with kids patient and calm and we loved her energy. She had a fantastic selection of lenses to capture our vision, and a great eye for composition, We have already discussed a second shoot and look forward to working with her again soon. read more

We recently had my daughter's smash cake/1st year photos taken by Helen. We decided to take them at the beach and despite the wind, sand and some tears, Helen was a pro and so easy going. I was worried we might not get any great shots because of the elements but when I saw the gallery I was beyond please with how many great shots we ended up having and the quality of Helen's work. The turnaround was really quick and Helen was very easy to communicate with - we will definitely use her again for future photos. read more
