“I can't say enough good things about Barbara and her work. She has an amazing eye and does such an exceptional job capturing the moment; but, also making you feel at home. I'm so in love with my law school graduation photos!!! If you are looking for an amazing photographer, Barbara is your go-to!“

“Dan was so funny and had such a friendly way about putting me at ease! If I could give Dan 10 stars, I would in a heartbeat. I hate having my picture taken. Reminds me of grade school and how awkward those portraits were. Dan was so good at making chit chat and helping me focus on something other than what I was actually doing... posing for a portrait shot but my other pics taken 2 years ago made me look like I had make-up on and the ones taken about 8 years ago, I was about 15 lbs heavier. With Dan's professional and artistic skills, I'm able to use these headshots for my website and other speaking engagements. Thank you so much Dan for the amazing work you did for me and the rest of my team! If you're on the fence about using HeadShots Inc, I would get off the fence and book with him immediately. Dan is the man!“

“Matt exceeded my expectations! Diligent, professional, skilled, and efficient, he made the entire process much more comfortable and fun. He understood my needs, and delivered precisely what I was seeking: an affordable package for high quality headshots without the hassle of excessive time or costs. I'm really happy with how my photos came out and highly recommend Matt!“

“We couldn't have asked for a more fantastic photographer for our wedding! Eric was incredibly patient, kind, and had an amazing attention to detail with setting up the best possible photo opportunities based on the time of day and the location of our venue. On the day of the wedding, Eric even arrived ahead of time to see potential photo opportunities and it really went a long way in making the photo sessions go as smoothly as possible!! He was also very professional in suggesting poses and angles for our photos, and our guests kept telling us how great he was to work with! One thing that we really appreciated was that throughout the event, he would take the time to show us what the picture looked like on his camera after taking it to see if we were happy with them! Eric also had amazing customer service - from when we first reached out to him through getting our photos after the wedding, he was always very helpful and prompt in his responses, and he genuinely cared about what we wanted and thought about our pictures. Compared to other photographers in the area, Eric's services were surprisingly very affordable given the high level of customer service and quality of photos he provides! If anyone is looking for an easy-going, high attention to detail, and friendly wedding photographer, Eric is your person!!“

“If you're in need of a proposal photographer, look no further! Steven did an amazing job in helping me prepare for the big moment, the photography session was really fun, and we loved the photographs.After talking to Steven on the phone, I knew right away that he was the photographer I wanted to go with - I was rather stressed about planning everything but he put my fears to ease, was very easy to talk to, and struck a perfect balance of figuring out exactly what I wanted while at the same time offering his great wisdom and advice to steer me in the right direction on key details. Over several phone calls and emails exchanged, he helped me weigh different options (e.g. is golden hour really important? should he secretly photograph the big moment or "bump into each other" ahead of time), plan the little details (e.g. the exact location where it should happen, how the shot should be framed, etc), and come up with contingency plans (e.g. what if it rains? what if the area is too crowded?).The results speak for themselves - the proposal went great (she was totally surprised) and he captured the moment beautifully. Afterwards we spent additional time doing more posed "engagement" shots, which Steven expertly guided us through, and the resulting photographs looked natural, the framing and lighting were beautiful, and we couldn't wait to share them with our friends and family.“

“We hired E&B Photography to shoot our June 2023 wedding and were so thrilled with our experience - both in the planning and the day-of. Chris was very helpful during the initial inquiry stage, and was patient when we had to take longer than we thought to make a decision. They were very responsive and helped answer all of our questions.Our day-of-coordinator really enjoyed working with Chris and Christian, as did our friends and family. Many people remarked how efficient, professional and organized they were. We were able to get photos done sooner than expected and enjoy more of our cocktail hour (which was a highlight for us!)The photos are gorgeous and captured the day beautifully. They also took some film photos, which provide a different vibe - we love them all.We are happy to recommend E&B for your event!“

“Kyle and his team were so easy and fun to work with leading up to the big day. And their calm energy and professional nature throughout getting ready, ceremony, and reception was so appreciated. I am so grateful that this wonderfully edited video exists because the day was such a blur! So many faces and moments were captured. Thank you!“

“Eddie shot headshots for me and they turned out amazing! He was so easy to work with and was great at coaching me on how to pose for the photos. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer! His newsletter with recommendations of things to do in San Francisco has been the best!! Thank you Eddie.“

“I was put in contact with Mike on short notice before our date however Mike came through 100%. He is very knowledgeable about shooting locations in and around City Hall. Photographs were expertly edited and delivered promptly. Finally, Mike and Lily are true professionals while also being easy going and very fun to work with.“

“Rebecca has been a great partner as our team headshots photographer. Found us a great spot, ran interference for us with the city, worked with our complex schedules, and most importantly delivered beautiful photos. Would strongly recommend!“

“Samantha did such a great job with photos of me and my husband would enthusiastically recommend her to anyone looking to get really beautiful couples film photography!“

“I cannot say enough good things about Larissa. She was one of the absolute best decisions I made regarding our wedding. I was just looking for a few “money shots” of our wedding, you know, the photos you frame and hopefully end up on your grandkids wall one day. We have only gotten our “preview shots” back and she also already delivered SO much more than that. She managed to capture so many of the emotional moments of our big day but was never intrusive. She just somehow knows exactly where to be when to get the best photos. Also, my husband and I both usually feel a little awkward in front of the camera, but Larissa completely put us at ease. She was just fun to hang out with on our wedding day and all of that “awkwardness” melts away in the photos. Larissa is creative and artistic but also professional and organized. I trusted her completely the day of our wedding to make sure we stayed on our timeline and got all the photos we wanted (which was a big list!) She really understands weddings in general but also took the time to understand our wedding and us. She doesn't do many weddings a year, and so it really is a personalized experience. When everything is over, your photos are one of the only things you have to remember your wedding by. Looking at Larissa’s photos reminds me of all the joy of that magical day. She is absolutely an investment worth making. Honestly, my one regret is not finding room in my budget for her to photograph our other wedding events! Even after reading all her glowing reviews, if you are on the fence about hiring her, just follow her on Instagram. You'll see that wedding after wedding she makes magic.(Hopefully obvious, but Photo Credit: Larissa Cleveland Photography)“

“My wife and I were engaged in October of 2023 and were planning on doing a quick/cozy SF City Hall ceremony as quickly as possible, and one of the big questions we had was who we were going to get to take photos of the occasion. We browsed around and were fortunate enough to come across Lilia. She was one of the few photographers that we encountered who offered to do a phone consultation, and honestly that was the difference maker in our selection process. Lilia was sweet, funny, and very informative about what we could expect. The day of, she met with us before the ceremony to help us figure out where to go and what to expect which was very helpful. But let's get into the photography! We haven't seen all of the photos yet, but the previews she sent us were amazing. She somehow made me look good in pictures which is a miracle in itself! Sometimes when she's directing you for poses it feels a little odd, but trust her as there's a method to her madness. The photos turned out fantastic! We feel so blessed to have Lilia be a part of our special day and are excited to see the finished product when it is ready. There's a good reason Lilia has overwhelmingly positive reviews. She's legit. Have a consultation with her and you'll likely have the same experience that we did. She's simply awesome.“

“Gisele was patient, kind, attentive, and professional when taking photos to honor my mother's "Golden milestone," 50 years of service to Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.“

“Worked with Nancy and her team on a professional headshot. Smooth, professional experience from front to back. She even coaxed some smiles out of me in front of the camera, an accomplishment in itself. Thanks, Nancy.“

“This was a 1st visit after reading Yelp reviews. I am very satisfied with my new brows. I had gotten my brows microblade before from another place & my right brow needed a correction to be even with right brow. Stephanie was very professional and patient on explaining and answering all my questions. She makes sure your brows are perfect and exactly like you want them. My right brow is now even to my left brow and I was so happy she was able to create the color I wanted. She did an excellent job.“

“I highly recommend Jenna! Jenna has been photographing my family for the past 5 years, starting with a fresh 48 session for our first baby to now family sessions to capture the fun moments. The photos have always been beautiful, numerous (we have a hard time picking which ones to place in our book) and represent that moment in our lives. Even though her presence is never imposing (we never really feel like there's a "photographer" there), her work shows off so many little details in beautiful moments.“

“Jeff is an absolute expert. Even though our shoot was scheduled super last minute, he was able to move things around in his schedule to make it happen. We were doing a fairly decent sized concrete driveway and I just knew we needed his help capturing good footage. I’ve worked with some of the best in the Bay Area but Jeff’s work just has this crispness to it. He didn’t need a lot of time to produce it either, same day it was shot, videos and photos were in my inbox! Amazing stuff!!“

“My experience could not have been more perfect. Having never had pet photography done before, I didn't know what to expect but Ellen made the day one to remember. She clearly adores animals and treated my Emma with the finest, most loving touch. At first, I was unsure about making this kind of investment but something in me said "go for it." I am so glad I did. You see, our shoot was April and three months later my beloved Emma was diagnosed with a very rare and aggressive form of mammary cancer. She likely won't make it to Thanksgiving. That shoot with Ellen was one something that I'll always cherish. The artwork means even more now. Our time with our babies are never long enough. Do all the things, make all the memories. Take all the photos. You won't regret it. Thanks Ellen. Emma and I are so greatdul for your kindness and love.“

“Marty Kelly is a master of photographing textiles and objects. He has documented my artwork for many years and achieves the most accurate reproduction of the subtle qualities and textures in my weavings. It is very difficult to capture and I am always so impressed with his results.“

“She is such talent, artist , she sees beautiful things I people they never knew they had themShe is enjoying so much what she does. And my whole family photos are proof of her talent. She is just awesome in person, too. Awesome woman“

“Jessica was the perfect photographer for our City Hall wedding! My husband and I are uncomfortable with all the attention a wedding brings (hence the venue) but she put us at ease from the very beginning. We didn't have a strong vision for the photos, so she gave suggestions for locations and poses while also asking for our input. She quickly got a sense of our dynamic and guided the shoot into a really natural direction for us. In three hours we got photos in and around City Hall and Golden Gate Park (also on the bus to the park haha). In the park we even ran into a couple who had taken photos with Jessica and thanked her again for their shoot! We got some photos to share with friends and family that afternoon, then the rest about two weeks later. They turned out absolutely gorgeous! The shots are framed perfectly, and the lighting and color couldn't be better. The posed photos, candids, and detail shots come together to tell a beautiful story. I would recommend Jessica to anyone looking for an event photographer. She's friendly, professional, her rates are very reasonable, and above all her photos are stunning.“

“I received my album having been away for a few days and wow!!!!! I am so thrilled with the results. From the very first time I reached out and received Andy's response I knew I wanted to go ahead with this adventure. And what an adventure it's been. My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner! I'm so happy with the results and I had so much fun with her and her amazing make up artist on the day. Two awesome women with make up, a camera, some great lighting and champagne? Pretty perfect day! I felt beautiful, comfortable and most importantly had so much FUN. I have wonderful memories from this whole experience! I'm sure you're sick of hearing it but THANK YOU! It must be so fulfilling to have a job where you get to make women feel like the best versions of themselves.“

“Service was super fast and professional. Juan went the extra mile to ensure a perfect lighting setup for shots.I highly recommend Juan for your photography service.“

“Hundreds of years ago when photography was yet to be discovered, there was art. Not everyone could become an artist; it required a great deal of talent, skill and artistic sensibility. When searching for someone to work with on our engagement session, we were looking for an artist. There are many photographers out there but very few of them are true artists. Artists like Arya, who paint stories of love, passion and commitment through the lenses of his cameras. They bring out what's best in you and make you fall in love with your partner over and over again. And they do it with so much grace, passion and energy!! They have an incredible ability to capture fleeting moments and precious emotions. And what's more important in an engagement or a wedding session? It is all about love. Arya held it still for us so we can go back to it over and over again in our most beautiful memories. Thank you Photography by Arya for the amazing engagement session!!“
