(English/Spanish). It is a pleasure to have you here ! I'm CLAO. I've been working in professional photography for 13 years (Grandpa and dad were also photographers back in Cuba & Dominican Rep). My journey started in 2008 when I left DR as a publicist and went to Argentina for studying my real passion. I went from still photography, commercial, to family portraits, weddings and births.
.
If I had to choose one thing that gives me joy it would be every time I hear back from a client on how much they remember the photoshoot as a *positive moment in their lives. It should be fun for you!
Atlanta is my new home coz hubby works in technology. I loooove the seasons and working in my garden (tomato lover here!) while I drink my very loved Cuban coffee and watch the rabbits hop around in the yard. Let's talk!

Claudia was amazing!! My family, especially my father, are not really into photoshoots. However, she got them participating. Everyone had a great time with her. She made our event memorable. Her energy is infectious. She went above her call of duty and made each guest at the wedding feel welcome. Everyone wanted to shoot more and more photos with her. She truly became a key part of the experience. Would not hesitate to book with her for any future events and shoots we have.

Hiring Claudia was one of the best choices I made for my wedding weekend! She came to the rehearsal dinner and took so many beautiful candid and group photos. Not only did the pictures turn out great, but she was such a joy to work with. She was super nice, energetic, efficient wrangling a big group of people, and everyone was talking about how awesome she was. She also was very easy to get in contact with via thumbtack and every piece of the experience, from signing the contract to receiving the photos, was extremely professional.

ClaO Photography was a joy to work with! She was professional, upbeat, and really made my wedding day go smoothly. None of my guests even bothered taking their own pictures because they thought she was doing an outstanding job of capturing all of the moments we wanted, both planned and candid.
She set me as ease by meeting with us beforehand to view the venue and plan the photos. Then she made sure everyone was where they needed to be to get all of the group photos I wanted. During the ceremony I didn't even notice her and my guests were all impressed with how she captured everything while remaining unobtrusive and completely blending in during the reception.
Our wedding was a week ago so I've only received the sneak peek photos, but I am already thrilled with what she has shown me and I can't wait to see the rest.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend ClaO Photography and will call her the next time I need photographs of any type!

An AMAZING photographer and experience! She came early, stayed late, and was such a joy to be around! Our event was running really late, and she made sure to stay to capture our special day. All of our guests loved her! She delivered the photos quickly in an online gallery with a link we could send to all of our guests, and they were very beautiful. We will definitely be booking with Clao again! Highly recommend!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
The price depends on the number of hours and the number of photos that the client needs. In general, at events, all photos are delivered in high resolution, with lighting touch-ups. I would like us to talk and I adapt to what you need
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
181 / 5000
Translation results
The client usually reserves the date by paying 80% of the invoice, and the other 20% is paid two days before the event. The client receives the photos 5 days after the event.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a degree in advertising communication (I went to University in Dominican Republic) and then I studied commercial photography in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I've been doing professional photography for 13 years. My grandfather and my father are photographers too.
