About
Thanks for stopping by! My name is Toan (rhymes with swan), I’m from the Bay Area in California, and I’ve been casually doing photography since 2016, but have ventured out to do it professionally since the beginning of 2022. Based around the area of Brooklyn, NY, I do portraits, couples, family photos, pets, headshots, etc., and provide unlimited edited photos. Please check my reviews and FAQs in case I might answer your inquiry there. Feel free to check out my work via my Flickr album linked in my profile. Many happy clients have loved my work, so please reach out if you are interested in booking me! :)

Surprised my girlfriend with a proposal in NYC. Toan was on time and captured the moment beautifully! He was easy to work with, showed up on time, and was quick to respond to messages. Highly recommend!

Toan was absolutely fantastic to work with! I couldn’t be happier with the experience and the results. From start to finish he was professional, thoughtful, and incredibly easy to work with. He has a great eye for detail and clearly takes a lot of pride in his craft. During the shoot he was patient, attentive, and made the whole experience feel relaxed and natural.
The photos turned out beautiful — the composition, lighting, and overall quality were outstanding. You can really tell he knows how to capture great moments and bring out the best in his subjects.
I would highly recommend Toan to anyone looking for a photographer. I’m so grateful for these photos and will definitely be working with him again!

We had the opportunity to work with Toan and me and my fiancé loved him. This was our first time doing a photo shoot and let’s just say he did not disappoint. He was able to direct us with poses and although some poses were awkward to me and my fiancé to do Toan made it comfortable and fun. The pictures turned out great even unedited. Very affordable and will definitely hire in the past.

Toan did a great job for us. He was communicative and had helpful ideas. We did engagementphotos by the beach during golden hour and they turned out great. We highly recommend him! Our pup loved him too, and she's the best judge of character.

Toan did the photography for my daughter's first birthday and took some great pictures. He asked me before the event if he needed to focus on anything, and he accommodated my request. He was very timely, professional, and super easy to work with. He also did a great job editing the pictures and delivering them on time. I would want to work with him again.
Details: Birthday party • Fewer than 25 guests • Indoors • Digital or online download

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
In addition to my base fee of $200/hr (min. 1 hour booking), I also charge $10 for every 15-minute transit one-way from San Jose, CA, to cover travel costs. A deposit of $50 will also be needed upon booking and this will be paid towards the total cost of the photoshoot.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Once availability is aligned, and the deposit is received. We will discuss ideas on how the photoshoot will be executed. After the day of the photoshoot, I will send over unedited photos for you to select for edits, which will come back completed in typically 1 week, if not sooner.
What types of customers have you worked with?
All kinds! Professionals, couples, families, children, pets, etc. I've done work in Bay Area California, Upstate New York, and New York City.
