The Most Flavorful Session Photography in Bakersfield

Misty Dameron Photography

★★★★★ 5 (6)

"A few weeks back I had to get new pictures for my business cards. Seeing as I had never used a professional photographer for self portraits (#selfiemaster) I went ahead and emailed a few locations to see what kind of pricing was available. One of the first people I emailed was Misty. I remember seeing some of her work on Instagram and I also noticed her attractive studio while visiting La Costa at the Ice House.I emailed about 5 different locations and Misty got back to me within an hour or so. I was very delighted with her prompt response. She told me her pricing, which seemed reasonable, but I didn't need a huge package. Fortunately, she was able to cater to my minimal needs for a reasonable price. Based off her attitude and work ethic for such a small job, I know that I will definitely be contacting her when I need a bigger job done. You can tell she is passionate about her work. During the photo shoot Misty was funny, charismatic, and very personable. I enjoyed talking to her while taking my photos. All my smiles were natural and not forced thanks to her. The studio is splendid. It looks very artsy and professional at the same time. I love the Ice House look to it. It's perfect. I felt like I was in a modern studio in Los Angeles. You can tell Misty has got good taste and really knows how to decorate. From the product to the ambiance to the customer service and Misty's personality, I walked away a very happy customer. I know she will continue to do great work and I highly recommend her to all."

Mary Jane Cole Photography

★★★★★ 5 (10)

"Great Service. Mary Jane is extremely comforting and protective when taking her pictures. She worked hard to get great shots of me and my race car. I was in total shy mood but she worked hard to come up with the right poses. The pictures came out great. Thank you again Mary Jane. Side note I was in Arizona and I got a camera pointed at me and low and behold it was Mary Jane standing behind it. Awesome to see her so far away from the city we reside."

Eddie Garcia Photography

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"I worked with Eddie for YEARS. He was always the ultimate professional with an incredible eye. I worked with him exclusively for my PBS show and syndicated column. I interviewed over 50 celebrities with Eddie by my side. His work was in offline and online media including my books, print features and website. I still consider Eddie my friend. His quiet, unassuming manner made every experience enjoyable. When we began working together I was extremely uncomfortable in front of the camera. Within minutes I was at ease. And the results are superb. And his rates are still the best in La La Land. Plus, he loved my food!"

Walman Photography

★★★★★ 4.7 (12)

"Dennis Walman was the most professional and most patient photographer I have ever worked with. My boyfriend and I wanted a family photo of us and our 4 dogs, yes....4 dogs. We have a Bernese Mountain Dog puppy (less than 5 months), a 2 year old Dalmatian, a 4 year old Labrador, and an 11 year old Chihuahua. We knew this would probably be tricky, but we had NO clue how tricky it really was. Our Dalmatian escaped into the lake about 5 times, my Chihuahua bit our Bernese, it was a mess. I was convinced there was NO way he could get a good (let alone GREAT) shot. When I saw the pics, it brought tears to my eyes. He captured all 4 dogs, in a great position, great lighting, and he made us all look great. He is patient and fair, I would recommend him to anyone. It was a pleasure working with him. Can't wait to put the photo in our family/dinning room. It will definitely be a conversation piece."

"It can be tough finding a makeup artist in the AV, but I'm so glad I ran into Sonia on Instagram. She was very professional, did exactly what I asked and even came to my home. I definitely recommend."

InMotionPro Photo Cinema

★★★★★ 4.5 (12)

"I like the clients, the vendors, the products, the team members and the atmosphere. Every project is different. I love it!"

MKC Photography

★★★★★ 5 (15)

"My husband and I are expecting our first child, a boy, and since we couldn't have a gender reveal party or a baby shower we still wanted to do something memorable to remember these precious times of our pregnancy. So my great husband surprised me by taking me to Santa Barbara for the day and then the cherry on top was that he hired a photographer, Mike, for a private photo shoot by the beach. Mike was extremely professional. He showed up on time and suggested a few locations along the coast, one of which was the Butterfly Beach and it was the perfect spot. He had all of his gear with him, and got right down to business. He is such a visionary and we immediately knew he's a true pro because he would see a rock and would guide us in positioning ourselves in a way that the pose looks both nice and natural at the same time. Photo shoots can sometimes feel a bit forced and a drag but not with Mike. He was talking to us and sharing stories with us the whole time. It was both entertaining and made the whole experience a lot more relaxed and natural. And the cherry on top was that we got all of our photos back within days so the thrill of that experience was still fresh and we were so delighted once we saw the finished photos. He captures amazing and authentic moments. I highly highly recommend Mike to anyone that wants a photo shoot for literary anything. We already know that Mike will do our baby's photo shoot once he's born and all the other previous times in our lives we would like to be captured."

Rosedale Portrait Studio

★★★★★ 5 (6)

"Michael and Cindy are lovely and know exactly what they are doing. They were so kind to assist me in getting family portraits done at the last minute as my previously booked photographer (to remain nameless) in town flaked on me at the last minute. They do their photos in their backyard studio, and while the location was initially somewhat off putting, I've never had a more pleasant experience EVER. Even my husband who is hard to please and hates getting pictures done, enjoyed himself. They are very experienced and the pictures turned out fantastic!!! They allow you to view the pictures after the shoot right away and you get to choose which ones you like best and to make changes if any are necessary. You do have to pay extra for the digital files, but this experience was worth it, and they are worth every dime. We will definitely use them again in the future!!!"

Danielle Bacon Photography

★★★★★ 5 (16)

"I've had the pleasure of working with Danielle on several occasions. She's done my family portraits and headshots. She's cheerful, professional and sweet; not to mention extremely talented! She'll do an amazing job for your wedding or portraits!"

In the moment photos

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"We are so pleased with our photos. Our household is chaotic, and busy. There are 3 kids, 3 adults, and 3 dogs. Each photo captured a unique moment. George had the complete set up, quickly put it together, and snapped some of the best photos I have seen. Coming to our location made it so easy to have everyone together. We are so thrilled with our pics, we will be rescheduling every few months from here on out. I highly recommend In the moment photos!!"

Danny Klorman Photography

★★★★☆ 4.3 (6)

"Danny is an artist. The results of his photo and video shoot were amazing. The editing, music choice, graphics all came together to convey the magic of the property in a tangible way. Danny's efforts will serve the growth of our Airbnb business for many years to come. Communication, pricing and professionalism, all excellent. Highly appreciated and recommend. Will be our go-to for all future photography needs."

Andrea Jordan Photography

★★★★★ 4.9 (7)

"Absolutely love Andrea! I am so glad we stumbled across her page on Instagram (when I say stumbled I mean I saw her posts ALL the time by other people I follow) She was so sweet and encouraged me to be in the photos as well even though moms usually feel very self conscious after giving birth and I'm so glad I took her advice. She was so gentle with the baby and really took the time to make sure he was happy and comfortable. Our final product was stunning and I've never been more proud of a family photo shoot before! I purchased 2 large canvases as well as other items and I am proudly displaying them in my living room. I wish I could've had Andrea take newborn photos of my oldest child if only I had known about her! She is so kind hearted and loves her job I absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer. She is worth every penny!!"

Becca and Her Camera Photography

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"Really exceptional photographer. We have worked with Becca several times, and I think there are few in the area with her level of skill and experience. She was very friendly, personable and flexible. Extremely professional too. We got our untouched photos back very quickly and her editing is excellent. We've used her for both a wedding and family photos and they all came out great. We really love having these memories captured so skillfully. Would definitely recommend her to everyone."

SB Visuals

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"Amazing photographer. He works well around my schedule and listens to my ideas. We just took some fun tested photos, but I will definitely coming back for my senior photos!! He does weddings, special events, senior photos, you name it! He's also at a very low and fair price despite how great of a quality his work is. ALSO: There is NO set address. You must contact him directly either through text, email, or his website and social media accounts. Please do not follow the pin because you will just go to a random area in Tulare."

Sierra Scott Photography

★★★★★ 5 (4)

"I just got our photos back from a family photo shoot Sierra did a few days ago and they are absolutely wonderful. She was great with my family and made the photo shoot a fun experience for my two boys. There are so many photos that capture the personality of my boys and I just love them. She is a real pro - highly recommended."

Pixels & Prints Imagery

★★★★★ 4.6 (9)

"We have been going to Ruby for photo shoots for over 6 years now, from everything from wedding/anniversary photos, extended family photos and Christmas. I am also a photographer (not a professional one, as a hobby) so when I was searching for someone to do our photos, I looked for someone who had a certain shooting and editing style, as well as skill. What I love about Ruby is that she can not only do beautiful outdoor photo shoots, but amazing studio/indoor photos! Trust me, as a fellow photographer, finding someone who can do both is very difficult! Usually someone specializes in one or the other.I originally chose Ruby for her beautiful portfolio, but kept coming back to her for her professionalism, talent and overall great photoshoot experiences. Most of our shoots involved our children, which (as most parents know) can be a really stressful time. Ruby has always been able to connect with our kids (even the grumpy ones), is super friendly and makes the photo time fun rather than a chore for them. All four of my kids know who "Miss Ruby" is now.Her customer service is on point. Ruby has always been able to match the vision of what kind of photos I'm requesting. There have been a couple times when a photo wasn't edited how I wanted or needed a little tweak and she always accommodated my request with a "no problem". She and her husband also spent a day offroading to find the perfect location for my anniversary photos after I described a vision I had for the shoot! I so appreciate someone who goes above and beyond for her customers like that. I love and cherish all the many photos I've had done by Ruby and the whole Pixels and Prints team! I have included a variety of all of our beautiful photos over the years!"

8A Digital

★★★★☆ 4.3 (6)

"I am so happy that I chose to go with 8A Digital for our event.The price for photography and videography was affordable. The best I found after calling around and meeting with other local photographers. Jesus delivered all that he promised in our contract and more. The day of the event they arrived punctual and ready to shoot our wedding day. They definitely know their line of work well and are ready to make it a memorable experience for you and your guest. The photo prints are great quality and the video we got is a Blu-ray version! We even got a USB drive with all of our photos and a photo album with our pictures included. Their equipment was impressive they even included a drone. The staff was very friendly and professional. I would book again in the future."

Alex Bonapart Photography & Videography

★★★★★ 4.5 (8)

"I was referred to Alex from a photographer we had previously used for a company holiday event last year. After reviewing his work online, I went ahead and confirmed for him to shoot for our event. He was very professional in the pre stages of the event, asking for details of the event as to know what he should bring and what type of photos we want.Throughout the event, he stayed very active in catching all the right moments of the event. He continuously showed me how the photos were coming out and I would definitely recommend using him for your event."

Jess Cadena Photography

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"Jess came to take out newborn family photos, and they turned out so beautiful. She met my request of a simple, neutral style focused on catching those beautiful, small details of the newborn stage. I am so in love with the pictures! She was great with our wild 3 year old and caught some really precious moments. I recommend her to everyone in Bakersfield!"

Leigha Smith Photography

★★★★★ 5 (3)

"I have had such a great experiences working with Leigha! Not only has she captured professional headshots and images we've used for social media but also personal family photos. My husband is not the most comfortable in front of a camera. Leigha captured him beautifully and made the shoot easy and fun! We'll definitely continue taking photos with Leigha. So easy to work with"

Phillip's Photography

★★★★★ 5 (6)

"Beyond amazing service, he is amazing and talented. He came through for us at the last minute when a photographer backed out. The photographs were amazing , the wedding and reception were captured beautifully. I cannot thank him enough."

Josh James Photo

★★★★★ 5 (6)

"Josh is an amazing photographer that has experience shooting at all kinds of events, headshots, portraits, etc. His services are reasonably priced and his personality is super fun :) I've shot with photogs who weren't very personable and in turn I looked stressed out in my headshots. Josh puts you at ease with his fun and personable demeanor which makes the shoot fun and easy. I highly recommend his photography!"

Christina Ramos Photography

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"Christina has taken many photos of my family. And every time she makes sure to help us feel comfortable in front of the camera. She is so kind and easy to talk to. We have done fun birthday and unicorn themed where my daughter was able to ride a unicorn!!! And she also captured our pre wedding and wedding images."

Jive Duck Studios

★★★★★ 5 (35)

"I've worked on auditions with Jive Duck and they're all really solid guys that know their stuff (they book network shows and all have lots of experience). I also worked with Dante who did headshots for me which my agent LOVED! Highly recommend to anyone that wants good product. Good stuff, fellas!"

MainStream Entertainment

★★★★★ 4.5 (2)

"I love this studio!!! It is a great price for being so close to the center of the city!! We don't have to go to The Valley or anything! The setup is great too! There's a wrap-around wall for continuous shots. They can also do green screens!"

Madison Ellis Photography

★★★★★ 5 (7)

"Madison was THE absolute package, and by far the most talented, professional, and skilled photographer we had the pleasure and honor of working with! We were so lucky to have her shoot both our engagement session and wedding. Being a couple who had a vision for aesthetics but are also awkwardly camera shy, I was worried about how things would look on our special day. I had a ton of questions, but Madison patiently answered them all with reassurance and confidence. As you can see, Madison totally blew it out of the water from start to finish! She went above and beyond our expectations. Within just a few weeks, we received galleries that were filled with favorite after favorite photo of both posed and candid moments that we weren't able to catch on our wedding day. Not only have we been so impressed by the quality of Madison's work, but she also shines in her transparent process, smooth communication, and consideration to our needs throughout. In both our engagement and wedding sessions, Madison gave us easy-to-follow directions and was so naturally good at creating a fun and light-hearted atmosphere which calmed our nerves and let us enjoy the day. She was also super organized and efficient, from working with us and our wedding coordinator to create a detailed timeline of the wedding day to making sure we had all our wants met in reasonable time. Capturing beautiful moments is her bread and butter. We are on the bliss train with these memories that we can cherish forever thanks to Madison and her team. Life doesn't always give you people like Madison, but if you meet someone as special and talented as her, don't let the opportunity pass you by!"

Johan Studio

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"I am so happy we hired Johan for our wedding he did an amazing job capturing every moment. We were so pleased with his work. He is very nice and so easy to communicate with. We received our video one month after our wedding via YouTube, CD, and USB. The quality of his work is exceptional definitely recommend for any event. Money well spent."

Makenzie Photography

★★★★★ 4.8 (24)

"Makenzie photography is the go-to gal of Bakersfield as far as I'm concerned. Many photographers pictures look the same and can be kind of cheesy but Makenzie has this vibrant, beautiful style that can't be replicated.There are several reasons why I highly recommend Makenzie to all brides and high school seniors about to graduate: 1) It was really cool to get my makeup done. Totally didn't expect it, but makeup by a professional artist was included in her photography package. So, I didn't just get my pictures taken, I got pampered in the process. :) 2) She's so easy to work with. She listened to what I was going for and captured it perfectly.3) She has the vision - I didn't have to do anything but show up. She just pointed and directed and made me laugh and crack up the entire session. Then my photographs ended up looking great because I actually had a REAL smile.4) All my photographs were perfectly clear crisp. I've used maybe 2 or 3 other photographers in the Bakersfield area and for some reason the color was weird (like burnt) or they weren't completely clear. I understand with all the knobs and gadgets on the camera there's probably a lot going on but she's obviously very technically sound with her camera because every line was perfect. 5) She managed our time well. I didn't feel like I wasted my time. She knew exactly what to do, had us do it (had a blast) and then we were done. Thank you Makenzie!!6) She made me feel beautiful. I hate being in front of the camera, however she made me feel like a rockstar. It totally came out in my prints too - didn't feel awkward turned into didn't look awkward. She made me feel like a rockstar - well guess what, I kind of did look like a rockstar with how she ran our session. 7) Several of my images were already edited at our viewing session. When she showed us the photos, I didn't only get to see raw photographs but she'd already edited quite a lot of them so I could see how they were going to look. All this to say, I really feel like I got my money's worth with Makenzie Photography. Her prices are near around the same as other photographers in the Bakersfield area, but what I received was tangibly more. I got my makeup done, she listened to me and was easy to work with, she directed the entire session so I didn't have to feel awkward, the photographs were absolutely perfect in clarity and color, she didn't waste my time, she made me feel beautiful and she just went above and beyond all the way around. Thank you Makenzie for taking something that could have just been a "task" on the to-do list of taking pictures and turning it into an amazing experience - one I look forward to having again next year. You're the best and I'm grateful for all the hard work, effort and love I can tell you put into our photographs."

"Absolutely in love with my family photos by Kristi and Paul. They are so kind and caught the sweet moments between my 3 years old and 8 month old."

Hall Photography

★★★★☆ 3.6 (25)

"My son recently took his senior pictures here. This was the first time here because my oldest did his senior pictures at the other guys. When we drove up we didn't see it at first since it's a small building, but once we hit that u-turn we were able to see it. We were prompt and came at the correct time of our appointment, but when we got there they were shooting a students picture and there was another student waiting inside. We probably waited about 10-15 min before they started on my son's photo shoot, but that's not bad considering other places take longer.The guys taking the pictures were pretty quick. They took him to different areas of the lot to get different backgrounds and poses. Several of my son's pictures came out good and I loved them. The guys were professional and very polite. I was in shock to see some of the negative reviews only because we were treated very well. The gal inside was super friendly also and communicated to us that there was another student in front of my son and was informative on how the ordering was going to be like and what to expect when the pictures were done.I really liked this place. If you're trying to find it, don't drive too fast or you'll miss it like we did. There's not a huge amount of parking space, so just know it's limiting parking and make sure to come at your scheduled time so you don't mess with someone else's photo shoot. I'm glad Stockdale High School was able to get this company, I liked the way the staff was and their professionalism. I would recommend them!"

Expressive Photography by Roxy

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"Roxy has such a warm + fun personality. And what an eye! She has updated my headshots, marketing photos for my business, fun lifestyle photos and very classy boudoir photography. Roxy is so easy to work with you immediately feel at ease and she takes the time to get to know you and ask questions so expectations are met for everyone. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a creative eye. I can't wait for my next shoot with Roxy!"

Jô Cardozo Photography

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"I first hired Jo for our engagement Party. She arrived early, was well-dressed, polite and very friendly with our all guests. The majority pictures were candid and they were just perfect. The lightening, colors, everything. WE LOVED IT. After that we hired her for two more events, our city hall wedding and also our engagement photos. Again, amazing pictures, great energy. My husband is not a big fan of taking lovey pictures and she made sure he was comfortable, made us laugh and time flew by. We uploaded our pictures on our website, and everyone loved it. Jo is very professional, easy going and a lovely person to be around."

The Photege

★★★★★ 5 (22)

"Amazing photographer! Very personable but professional. Has a unique style and always captures the individual's personality and character. She's photographed my son, many many of my friends and has even traveled with us for a destination wedding! The personal service you get is 5 stars! You won't be disappointed! Infact you'll fall in love with Marsha's work and want to use for many life capturing events."

Jennifer Johnson Photography

★★★★★ 5 (3)

"Jennifer is a great photographer. This is the second time we worked with Jennifer. Last year she took the pictures for our adoption day pictures. This year we worked again with her to take our holiday pictures. We had a great experiences from start to finish. Everything from the first contact, reasonable prices, the relaxed photo shoot to the delivery of our gorgeous pictures. She was so good with our kid and we're so delighted with our photographs. We'll treasure them forever. We will definitely continue to work with her for our family pictures. Thank you Jennifer!"
