Julia A. says, "I can’t say enough about Jordan‘s professionalism, fun and helpful demeanor, excellent ideas, creative eye and talent. He recently took candid and portrait photos at my mother’s 90th birthday celebration and the entire family enjoyed working with him and loved the photos. Jordan came early to set up, agreed to stay over an hour longer, and had the photos available to view in only a few days. The client is able to download and print the photos on their own, or use Jordan‘s professional services offered at a reasonable price. I am not easily impressed, and can’t think of anything Jordan could have done better. I highly recommend him and would hire him again in a heartbeat."See more

They were super responsive, and incredibly helpful planning out the details for my proposal and the photos afterwards. My fiancé and I are so happy with the quality of work and attentiveness in the photos that we received."See more

Rosie R. says, "We hired South Lens for a family photo session and honestly had such a great experience from start to finish. Roberto made everyone feel comfortable right away, which is huge—especially when you’ve got kids and not everyone loves being in front of the camera. He kept things relaxed, fun, and never forced, which really helped us just be ourselves. He gave us just enough direction when needed but also captured a lot of genuine, in-between moments that ended up being some of our favorite shots. You can tell he really pays attention to the little details and cares about getting it right. The photos came out beautiful—natural, clean, and full of personality. They actually feel like us, not overly posed or stiff. We’re really happy with how everything turned out and will definitely be using South Lens again for future family photos."See more

Charlie B. says, "We had an absolutely fantastic experience with this photographer and his son. They went above and beyond to help capture one of the most important moments of our lives. He worked with us ahead of time to plan everything perfectly and even hid nearby so he could capture the surprise without being noticed. When the moment happened, he caught it all — the emotion, the reaction, and the joy — completely naturally. The photos turned out incredible and truly tell the story of the day. His son was also a big help, making sure everything went smoothly and helping capture additional angles. Professional, discreet, and incredibly talented. If you want someone who can capture real moments without making it feel staged, I highly recommend them. We will treasure these photos forever."See more

I felt very comfortable and at ease with my photographer which definitely helped the modeling shoot go smoothly. I was also able to see some of the photos, engage in open and clear communication, as well receive helpful advice for my portfolio.

I needed photos to send to a modeling agency. Ekaterina was wonderful. She was professional and super nice. She made everything calm and easy. It went really smooth and would happily shoot with her again.

She was a great person to hire for this project. In trying to build a suitable portfolio to apply to modeling and talent agencies, she made me feel at ease, showed interest in my personality and personal style, and gave me tips on how to pose and make my portfolio stand out. I would highly recommend her for any photography-related engagement.
