Photo House Photography

I am so glad that I chose this photo studio to take our family photo. I was surprised, because the studio was small but it was very cozy. While our family taking photo, Derek and Sue trying to make us had natural smile (they have a lot of energy)^^.
Also, they are really friendly and super super nice to each our family members. And the process was super fast! I totally recommend this photo studio. Then you will never disappointment.

Dear Derek and Sue, you guys are absolutely wonderful! Thank you so much for all your effort in making one of my most important days that much more memorable.
I randomly chose this studio because it was one of the few studios opened on Saturdays. However, I am so glad that I chose Derek and Sue to take my pictures for my Miss Korea USA 2015 Pageant. Not only were they super friendly and accommodating while taking my outdoor portraits, they made sure I was completely happy with the results. If not, they continued to take pictures despite how long it took. Most of the time, they would give me their own advice and suggestions that I would have never thought of on my own. Thanks to them, my portraits turned out even better than what I imagined.
After receiving my portraits, I was so satisfied that my mother asked them to film and take photos of my actual pageant in Palms Springs. With a little extra cost, they were more than happy to attend even though the venue was quite far away. I was very glad to have two more people there to watch me perform. During my pageant, I wasn’t able to watch Derek and Sue filming because I was so occupied, but I do remember hearing them cheer me on when it was my turn to walk the stage. Not only are they great photographers but amazing supporters as well.
A few weeks later, I received my photos and video from the pageant. But, to my great surprise, I also received a beautiful pink album with several, high-​quality pictures of my best moments throughout the performance and a mini plastic statue of myself wearing the crown. Looking back on the album always brings me tears, and I thank Derek and Sue for providing me with such beautiful photos to look back on and reminisce on the day that I was crowned Miss Korea USA 2015.
This is a long overdue review because I have never written on Unilocal,but I wanted to share my incredible experience with the Photo House. I am forever thankful to Derek and Sue. You guys are the best! :)

So pleased with Derek and Sue — you will not regret going with them!
It has been over 15 yrs since we had a family photo. After looking at all the Unilocal reviews, I narrowed it down to a couple. Derek was the first to reply, and upon looking at their website photos, i was sold. Derek was very accommodating and quick to reply, so scheduling was very easy.
The studio is relatively small and very cozy. Our family of 4 went in with our Korean traditional clothing (hanbok). Sue recommended the background (there are I think. ~4 options) for our first pose. She sure has a knack for color and placement! She recommended the lighter background, and set us up for some great photos. After each batch of photos, she showed us the pictures, and I was so happy! Very sharp photos and they are really good at capturing both natural and formal photos. My dad even got some natural smiles in! They are very friendly and high energy. For our last pose, they even added in a funny pose, and they were so creative with the poses and props!
Our second pose was a more «formal» one. We changed into black&white clothing. We wanted a similar feel as a picture we took over 15 years ago. They both have good attention to detail, and were very good at placing us in the right position, finger placement, chin/​face placement, all the fine details so we can come out as best as possible!
It was a fairly quick photoshoot since they were very good at giving us directions (~1.5 hrs). In the end, Sue quickly showed us photos on the computer, and wow, we were blown away! They also add in quick photoshop for you as well and can include writing on the same too. We all left so happy and pleased! PS. It is also very reasonably priced for such high quality photos. Highly recommend!!!

Friendly service and very reasonable prices. Sue and Derek are pros with kids. They have a lot of energy to keep up with active little ones. The studio is small but cozy, with a large bathroom for changing, and a changing table for babies. We had family photos and baby portraits taken. For one of the sets, we asked Derek and Sue to choose for us, and we are very glad we did. Our baby boy looked adorable in a little scholar’s costume! Would definitely go back!

We have worked with a number of photographers for various events (engagement, wedding, etc.) and Photo House was the best. My wife and I needed professional portraits for work and we could not have been more pleased with the quality of service and the final photos. Sue and Derek have a very easy-​going personality, a great eye for photography, and made the shoot really enjoyable. After seeing their work, we wished we had known about them for our wedding! Will definitely be coming back for family portraits in the future. Overall, great experience!

We had the best time take pictures at Photo House. We took our sons 1 year pictures there, and Derek and Sue were great with him. They went above and beyond to make sure we got great shots, and to make sure our son was smiling and laughing for the camera. We also had so much fun shooting our sons superman shoot, and the pictures came out amazing. They were accommodating to our schedule, since my sons birthday is only a few weeks away. They provided proofs for the pictures within a week of taking the pictures. Cannot wait to see our final prints. We highly recommend them.

Love this place. They’re very gifted, professional, fast, and amazing at what they do. BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE. I am very satisfied with their work, service and price. Sue and Derek are very accommodating. They’re flexible and will work around the schedule that works best for you. Will not regret using them. Hands down the best place.
Thank you so much for being so amazing.

Both photographers passionately assisted my family to have the best family potrait ever! I had excellent and amazing experiences at the LA Photo House with my loving family memebrs, including my cute dog! Although time for taking photo shoots was late in weekend, I was very inspired by their professional and dedicated manners! I am definately a big fan of this place and want to recommend this place for you, if you want a high quality and a reasonalble price for your all pictures! Thank you very much, LA Photo House :-)

I recommend Photo House for all your photography needs !!! We just finished our daughters 3^rd photo shoot at the studio and we love it. Photographers here are amazing with little babies. Patient and caring. They actually stopped in the middle of our shoot so our daughter could take a nap. She was being a little bit fussy and crying because she was so tired. Very professional, sweet, and patient. CHECK THEM OUT !!! A++++

I took my graduation portrait there. Derek and his partner are great. They are really helpful and patient. The photo were very nice.

Had the best experience during a photo shoot ever! They were so friendly and great at what they do. They made our photoshoot so fun and full of laughs! The shoot resulted in such great pictures and each scene staged was so fun. It was so fun and successful, sue and derek made sure we all looked our best and the ambiance was uplifting and amazing! Thank you sur and derek for our amazing family 20^th anniversary pictures! :)

Amazing amazing amazing !!! These guys are one of the best professional photographers I have ever hired. I hired them for my «Wedding» and they knew exactly what to do whatever the cercumstances. I dont like to be photographed but I was having so much fun and it was very memorable experience. The experience was amazing and I would recommend them to anyone who wants great results!

Amazing experience at Photo House. I was introduced by my friend. We took our engagement photos here with Sue and Derek. They were very nice and very knowledgeable. It was an amazing experience. Can’t wait for them to take our wedding photos. They took us to a few random amazing sites where we got our photos taken. In the beginning we were not really sure about the experience since we did not get to see many samples of wedding photography, but once they were shot and delivered to our house, it really amazed us how great their skills were. Many of the photos did not need any retouching at all. They are mainly know for taking photos for babies and family portraits but we had no idea they were this great at taking outdoor engagement photos. I would recommend any one who is willing to pay the price for really nice wedding and engagement photos. I hope this business endures and makes all couples who come here as happy as we were. Thank you.

I love these guys! They’re so good at capturing special moments! I’m glad I found them.

They take really good pictures and they’re really friendly. i recommend going here because you will not be disappointed.

Wow is all I have to say. We had our daughters baby pics and dol (1 yr) pics done here by Sue and Derek. They are absolutely amazing! Super super patient with our daughter and never made us feel rushed when she wasn’t cooperating. You can always tell when someone enjoys their occupation and it truly reflects in their work, which made the whole experience extremely enjoyable even when our child was not having it at all. Prices are also very reasonable, which is a plus.
Great people, great work! Highly recommend at least having a conversation.

Sue & Derek are so awesome!!! We went for family Christmas photo today and not only we had some amazing photos taken but also had a great time. They made us feel so welcomed, happy and feel good about ourselves. Reasonable price and most importantly very memorable. We got to see a sneak preview before we left, and they looked amazing. We had a blast for sure-​!! We’ll definitely do this again next year!

Sue and Derek are the best photographers I’ve ever met and I will definitely come back if I have to take my baby’s photo again!
We took our son’s 1^st year photos there. I was looking for the photographers and my friend recommended Sue and Derek and she said they were the best and I would never regret. :-) So, I decided to take the photos there with high expectation. Although we live in San Jose, we drove down to LA to meet them. And my hubby and I loved it! It was worth driving down there. =) we were totally satisfied with photos. They were very very kind and super patient with our baby. They made our baby laugh all the time and of course photos came out really well! We had the best photo experience with Sue and Derek.

One of my good friends recommended this place for our baby photos. We got the whole — shebang! The big pregnant belly photo shoot, new born hospital, 2 weeks postpartum, and 100^th day (it’s a Korean tradition). And we are glad we got to work with Derek and Sue! They were very friendly and patient with our pooping, unresponsive, nonchalant baby. We’ll be coming back for more photo sessions for sure!

Derek and Sue were truly great! They were very patient with my crazy family (I.e a very opinionated mom, my too-​cool-​for-​school sister, and my Hawkward dad).
My family members were in town for my graduation and we (read: mom) decided, last minute, that we needed to take a family picture together and a studio.
They were able to fit us in their busy schedule for our shoot right the next day. Before we got started they explained to us all the different packages and prices so there was no misunderstanding. We did two sets, one more formal and one more casual/​funny ones. They even provided us with fun mustaches, which is always good. They made us laugh and gave us helpful pointers to make our pictures look more natural.
After the shoot they sat down with us and helped us pick our pictures, which took another thirty minutes of arguing between my family members.
All in all, it was a very enjoyable experience during a very hectic weekend with my family. I would happily recommend this studio for anyone needing to take professional quality pictures.
