We had a great experience with Rufus for my sons first birthdayparty. He was extremely responsive, punctual, and professional. The photos came out beautifully and I’m glad I took a chance on him. Everyone should hire him!

I booked Gregory same day for my friends 40th Birthday. Hiring a photographer is usually something I would only do for a wedding or family Christmas card photos, but with all the work that went into planning, decorating, and dressing up for her Studio 54 themed party, a group of us decided to split it as a birthday present so we could just enjoy the night while he captured it with his camera. He got all the right shots, adjusted for lighting, detailed the decor etc. He was a great communicator and reasonably priced (many others could charge more especially with his experience). You won’t regret hiring him.

I am so glad I hired Mukaila as the photographer for my 2 year old daughter's birthdayparty. He worked for 4 hours (although I had originally only booked 3 hours) and gave us about 650 photos. My daughter had a blast and Mukaila captured the precious moments beautifully with his camera. I appreciate the artistic flair and so happy to see that he had taken pictures of everyone who attended the event, the arrangements and decor, all important moments, interesting candid ones and most importantly moments of excitement my daughter experienced. Communications with Mukaila was easy as he provided prompt responses and he delivered the photos within the time promised.

Charles is so easy to work with he makes everything such a breeze. Just ask and you shall receive! I never heard of thumbtack. I randomly found it while searching for a face painter and then I came across "photographer" section & thought.. hey I need one! Never did I think I'd find someone like Charles for such a reasonable price! He captured my son's 1st birthday beautifully from beginning to end. I knew the party was great but I didn't realize how much fun everyone had till I saw the candids that were captured. Definitely Kodak moments! I was all over the place, so I'm really glad he pulled me to the side & asked my husband, son, and I to take some photos of just us 3 in the natural lighting outside. It was nice to step away from the crowd for just a minute to have our moment. I'm so glad I hired Charles because I was too busy entertaining guests and running around that I did not take any photos myself. He also took photos of the desserts, centerpieces, and other little details I didn't even have to ask. Exactly what I want out of a photographer. On top of all that he sent me all my photos so fast!! I don't know about you, but I get anxious waiting even just a week. He sent me my photos 4 days after the party! I promise you won't be disappointed if you hire Charles because I will definitely be hiring him again for future events!

We've had some bad experiences through close friends and family, so we were hesitant to use a professional that we've never worked with before. I scoured yelp and other sites and just couldn't find the style I wanted. With just a couple of days before the event, we decided last minute and couldn't be happier.
I am so happy to discover Mukaila, he was fast to respond, worked with my budget and was extremely professional. We wanted someone that can capture those candid and natural poses, so we hired Mukaila for our son's first birthday and he did an amazing job! He was professional, responsive, and delivered the pictures exactly a week after the party. He arrived early and stayed a little bit later to accomodate our extra wishes. I also loved that he was able to capture some close and personal photos of my family, so it was like a two in one event! Everyone was so impressed and complimented that he was able to take the pictures while remaining in the background, it is like having your own paparazzi. Overall, we would highly recommend him and will be using him for future events.
