Gina H. says, "Charles Turcott had done some corporate head shots for some friends of mine and they were all stunning, so booking him for mine was a no-brainer. He was very personable and friendly when I met him at the studio and he shared a few posing techniques before we got started. During the shoot he was engaging and encouraged me to be expressive (which was hard to do at first, but I eventually relaxed and had a great time). In the end we were both laughing and sharing fun stories. After the shoot, I got the photo back within a couple of days and was blown away! I looked like me... but way better! Used the photo for my LinkedIn and shortly got a much better response to my applications. I'm extremely grateful for the experience and the gorgeous corporate head shot."See more

Nicholas B. says, "I live in the Midwest and traveled to Napa to propose to my girlfriend. The first photographer I had booked pulled out with only a week to go so I was panicking a bit. In short notice, Sarah was extremely responsive and accommodating to the location and time of my proposal. She showed up early, stayed hidden, and captured wonderful photos of our special moment! I highly recommend Sarah as your photographer."See more

She gassed me up, made me feel and look so great and natural. It was like my bestie was taking candid pics of me. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for portrait style photos, she made me feel so comfortable!"See more

My headshots turned out great! I typically don't like being photographed ans tend to be very critical when I look at photos of myself. But I have to admit that I really like the way these headshots turned out. Nadim made me feel very comfortable in front of the camera and the lighting looks great. He was very professional and paid a lot of attention to detail. I will definitely recommend him to friends and colleagues. Thanks again for a great shoot!

Jake was a pleasure to work with and made the experience smooth for a novice like me :) He is punctual, responsive and patient. I worked with him for professional headshots and he does a good job of listening to your needs to get the shots you’re looking for. I would work with him again in a heartbeat!

Brennan did a fantastic job with our team's group photo and personal headshots. He sourced a wonderful location, was professional and had clear and prompt in communication over the phone and through email. When he arrived, he was energetic and clear in his directions. Really great experience, thank you!

I needed professional headshots for my job application. Albert was quick to reply, and communicated with me consistently via text. The shots were beautiful, and he helped me adjust my necklace. It also was very quick and easy. I recommend Albert for all your professional Photography/ videography needs.

My experience with John Williamson Photography was very positive. He is professional and offers great work for a competitive price. I got headshots done by him and they came out great. He got the photos to me the next day, so I didn't have to wait. Overall great experience. I would highly recommend him!

I can't say enough good things about Ian. First of all, the headshots turned out great; final product is awesome. Furthermore, the whole experience of the photoshoot with Ian was great - he was very comfortable improvising with tons of changing lighting conditions (I chose outdoor shots). His vibe and communication style will relax you.

Amazing photographer. Nathan is professional and super easy to work with. I hired him to take professional "headshots" for me and they came out awesome. They're professional, but more human and more genuine than most professional photographs. Nathan is clearly skilled at making "subjects" feel relaxed and comfortabl and, I must say, he made me look really great in the photos!

Wow! This was an awesome experience. Sheila was encouraging, warm, and helped me to feel very comfortable in front of the camera. She was taking Headshots, and full body shots for me. We took them at the Claremont hotel grounds in Berkeley. She is a genius at framing the photos and suggesting poses. I am really grateful to have found her, and would definately hire again.

I hired Nadim for professional headshots that I needed for work and personal social media. The entire experience from initial contact to taking the shots in his studio to delivery of the pics was fantastic. He was very quick to respond, highly professional and easy to work with. I was really pleased with the outcome. His prices are also reasonable vs. others I contacted. Will definitely use him again.

I needed professional headshots taken on a nonprofit budget, which I thought was going to be Mission: Impossible. It wasn't. Daniel took my photographs, and he was incredibly easy to work with. We did both an indoor and an outdoor shoot, and he turned work around very quickly (w/in 48 hours). The photos are great quality, minimal retouching (if any), but that's easy enough to do yourself these days. For the quality and speed, the price is an absolute steal. And it was a pleasure to work with them.

Cheshire took my headshots and some portrait shots of me and I really enjoyed the entire proces. Right off the bat, he asked if I had any music I wanted to plug in. Also he is very fast with replying to emails and helping you prepare. I felt very comfortable during the shoot. I havnt gotten my pictures yet but I'm positive that they will be great because he sent me some samples. He really knows his stuff. :)

Marco from Biz Headshots was extremely professional and very quick to reply to all of my enquires. He was on time, very flexible and eager to work. I would highly recommend Marcos as his passion for his work was seen through the very high quality images and his unfaltering excitement throughout an entire days worth of work. He also has the technical equipment and skills to photograph with a grey/white backdrop or an outdoor photoshoot (he did both when I hired him). Great work Marcos!

Lawrence was very nice to work with. He was very professional and seemed like he really cared about getting an amazing photo. He knew what he was doing and the pictures show it. Many of the pictures turned out nice and some were amazing. The only thing i didnt like was that his editing isnt amazing. My teeth arent the whitest of whites and he tried to fix that but you can see an obvious white strip running across my teeth. Most of his editing was great though. He was very fun to work with and i would recommend him to anyone especially people who are looking for headshots for maybe acting or modeling.

I’m not one to feel comfortable in front of a camera, and did not have a specific vision for the headshot series I needed for my website. Working with Andy was a great experience. He was very warm and open to ideas I had, while also taking the lead with his own professional judgement when necessary. He responded to all correspondence quickly and was available even on short notice. On the day of the shoot, Andy was on time and friendly which helped me relax as he took pictures. He explained his process through the shoot. Best of all, Andy produced my pictures back to me THE NEXT DAY, and provided more shots than he had originally quoted me. Andy exceeded expectations at every stage of the process. I highly recommended him for your photography project!

Elizabeth Dixon Photography'
I needed headshots for a new job and I am so glad I was able to hire Elizabeth Dixon. I loved working with Elizabeth, who showed up on time, made me feel totally at ease (I can be very camera shy), was attentive to my needs, and offered me a great rate for both lifestyle and professional shots that I can now use for various purposes, not just for work. We did both indoor and outdoor shoots, including some at my grand piano. It was a lot of fun doing this! I had reached out in the last minute and I needed to have my photographs for work very soon. Elizabeth worked with my tight timeline by turning around fantastic images very quickly. She also helped edit my favorites right away so I looked my best for my new bio. The quality of all the photographs were simply amazing! If I need any photos taken again, I know who to call.
