      Not a good experience for vacation
      I expected a better & more flawless experience but this was not. Photographer was late & received my photos late. I requested English from the beginning & didn’t receive an English link as the photos were already late I wanted to download all at once. When I contacted them several times they acted as if it was an inconvenience to send the link in the previously requested language. It’s been over a week now so I just screenshotted the images.

      Don’t trust your booking on trip Advisor!
      We booked and were excited for this experience. Everything in the area is very easy to handle without a service, this was the one thing booked through a 3rd party and of course they cancel at 2am for a 10:30 am photo shoot! They didn’t have the decency to cancel earlier so we could find another avenue! So unprofessional!

      Bombay beach photoshoot
      I had the best experience with Lil. She did a photo shoot for my partner and I in Bombay beach. She took care of us from beginning to end along with her colleague. She wastes no time in looking at places with great lighting and we got startight to work. This was my first photo shoot and she made me feel very comfortable. Most of all she knew how to take advantage of the location and made both of us feel like we were in good hands. My partner and I really enjoyed it very much. She also took more pictures than expected with 3 different outfit changes on top of the long commute. She gave great energy the whole time. Her turn around time to have the raw pictures was so fast and the pictures came out amazing!

      Great time exploring the city
      I had a great time exploring the city with Lil. She was very knowledgable about the photography set up and the entire shoot was very efficient. We did not waste much time having to plan because she already knew all the locations and scenes. We were able to knock out an extra location in the time slot. I received extra pictures for my shoot. Thank you. I will book again.

      Best of the Best
      I wanted some photos to commemorate my visit to Los Angeles (and also to see some of the tourist sites). I was not disappointed! Lil did my photoshoot and I cannot emphasize enough what a fantastic job she did! We focused on Rodeo Drive, where she photographed me in several outfits (I wanted to use them for my social media as well as my website). I am no model, but Lil was able to direct me to stand in certain ways that were complimentary and resulted in model-looking shots! I so appreciated her willlingness to hear my vision while also suggesting ways to make the photos even better. Not only was the experience itself fun, but Lil and I thoroughly enjoyed geting to know Lil at Laduree. These are the kinds of experiences that make a trip so memorable! I will be keeping in touch with you all on my next visit! Thank you so much for such a quality experience!!

      Happy with my pictures at Venice Beach
      My photographer Savannah took very nice pictures of me. She had a plenty of creative ideas on which pose and background to use. We passed from Abbot Kinney Boulevard to Venice Skate Park & Venice Beach and ended at Venice Canal. I enjoyed a photo session with Savannah.

      I feel scammed
      Sadly the provider cancelled our excursion on Saturday and then provided us with one of the cheaper excursions which is less than half price. I complained to the provider and the response was that it covered the same places. I feel that this sort of company gives the Travel and Tourism industry a bad name.

      Beyond 5 stars
      My experience in LA was enjoyable, thanks to Alina I will have these special memories for keepsake. The service was exceptional! The photographer goes above and beyond and made me feel comfortable. Alina is friendly and professional. I loved my shoot, I planned to book again for family photos. Definitely recommend.
