Gulsum Photography

Gulsum was able to capture a very special moment in our lives. She was so sweet, accommodating and patient with us. She knew exactly how to capture our memories that will last a lifetime. I am so happy and grateful to her for the beautiful pictures of our special moment.

I had an amazing portrait photoshoot with Gulsum in June 2020, in the Mission neighborhood of San Francisco. I enjoyed it so much. During my session, I changed two outfits. Gulsum knows the secrets of framing around the streets, Mission murals and graffities, Victorian buildings, with flowers that made my portraits so lovely, interesting, and fun. Gulsum was mindful about the natural lighting. I felt so comfortable to share my thoughts to find some original ideas together and appreciate that a photographer could guide me well how to pose naturally. I love my photoshoot and photos! Month later, we hired Gulsum again for a new photoshoot together with my partner.

We worked with Gulsum for an outdoor family photoshoot in June, following all precautions to keep us safe during the covid time. What an incredible and fun experience! She is communicative, professional, and talented. I loved how she gave us direction on how to pose and encouraged us to come up with being natural in our expressions. She was friendly and a joy to be with. She took hundreds of shots and came up with 40 perfectly edited photos that captured our family in the summer bliss.  We were very pleased with our images, absolutely beautiful. We had so many favorites. We highly recommend Gulsum photography services for your future photoshoot and so grateful to Gulsum for making it such a unique and memorable experience!

Gulsum made our engagement photo experience great - she knew exactly where to take us and took her time to make sure we got photos that we would love. We were able to shoot at multiple locations and she gave us access to our photos as she edited which was wonderful! She was nice, comfortable to be around, and did a wonderful job for a very affordable price. We would definitely reach out again about photography needs in the San Francisco area!

Gulsum captured so many beautiful moments at our company Holiday Party--so many great photographs! She was easy to work, makes people feel relaxed and has a great eye. Highly recommend!

We had the pleasure to work with Gulsum for our wedding. She WAS PHENOMENAL. She was so easy to work with. We wanted to meet with her prior to our day and she was so easy going. The day of the wedding she was very punctual and took the most beautiful pictures of us. We are so happy with her work. We even asked her to stay longer and she was wonderful about it. She is very friendly and sweet and a true professional. I can go on and on and on but it's better for you to find out for yourselves. You won't be disappointed. Thank you Gulsum for capturing one of the most beautiful and important day of our lives.

Working with Gulsum was a fantastic experience. She was patient and kind. I am very camera-shy and needed a photo for a book jacket. Gulsum made me feel relaxed and comfortable enough to take a variety of shots, from different angles, in different light conditions, and different background settings. At the end of the shoot, I had several photographs to choose from. Then, in the post-shoot editing process, she worked the image to remove all the imperfections from my face and setting to make the photo look just right for my website and for my book. It was an overall great experience and I am delighted with the results.

We got married this year! It was South Indian traditional wedding. We were looking for a good photographer to take memorable photos. I initially called Gulsum photography to enquire all the details of the photography during wedding. Gulsum answered all questions and more so, she was very sweet on the phone! We decided to go ahead and book wedding photography with Gulsum. Photos taken by Gulsum came out incredibly beautiful! She created lifetime memories! Gulsum was very patient with us through out the session. Her picture quality, clarity and light adjustment was very well taken. We are so glad to have found her! Thank you and Best wishes to You Gulsum!

Gulsum was simply awesome as the photographer at my birthday party. She reached out before the event to work out the details and to better understand what I wanted. On the day of the event she was on time, working tirelessly for the duration of the event. My guests enjoyed interacting with her as well and had expressed how impressed they were with her professionalism. All of the photos turned out great! Posed and candid photos documented the event and all those who have attended. There were also several creative shots and tender moments between those present captured masterfully which had exceeded my expectations. Overall, a robust, rich, professional set of photos / memories to cherish for years to come. Thank you!
