Rob did an excellent job with my daughters senior pictures! He chose a perfect spot and time for beach pictures. She was not very comfortable with the idea of a photo shoot but he was great at making her feel relaxed. Very pleased with the results!

Mr. Varela was a pleasure to work with. He made sure all photographs desired by the family were taken. He was extremely pleasant and very professional. I would recommend him highly.

Rob was great! He was extremely patient with my two year old. Big thank you for bringing Trish and the kids to help with the bunnies. My daughter was so disappointed to see Sadie, Joey, and especially Chloe. We will definitely be using his services again soon. Thank you Rob!

First of all he can be honest. He does NOT do Product Photography, and he only gave me 1 set of first run pictures that weren't very good. After he asked me what I wanted them to look like & I gave him 2 different websites to look at he came back to me with the message of, " it looks like the images are cut out", I told him I don't know what process they use, but that's the look I want. After that email he NEVER responded to any of my emails ever again, even when I told him if I didn't hear back from him by Friday 5/19/17 that I would have no choice but to file in Small Claims Court for 3 times amount of the check, which he had the Nerve to cash for $250.00 for no usable pictures, which again were only a 1 and only set, not even revisions, NOTHING, just the 1 time crappy pictures.
No matter how many time I emailed him he never answered back to any of them, I even offered to pay him at least for his time to come out to Camarillo, I was willing to go to Ventura to help him out. But NO, he did not keep any contact with me or anything, he just cashed my check and in other words was telling me Screw You, I'm keeping your money. So I have no other choice but to sue Rob for a HORRIBLE HORRIBLE JOB. If there was a number Lower Than 1 that's what I would give Rob.
I not only would NOT RECOMMEND Rob to anyone, I would highly suggest he do a lot of soul searching on how he treats his prospective customers.
