Ashkan and his team are incredible! A photography session with a teen can be stressful and they made the entire experience enjoyable. The first headshot taken was beautiful and the images only got better from there. Thank you for capturing my daughter perfectly for her senior photos 💗

As a single income parent I had no issues what we were in store for or the awesome things we were about to experience. We were treated like royalty. They had a chair for me (Mom) and from the moment we walked in there is a team of staff that guides us where to place our things and where to go to set up. Our goal was senior pictures for my daughter Aurora. Leading up to our scheduled date Avery scheduled a phone meeting with questions & suggestions on what we were looking for poses + wardrobe. Next we had emails of reminders leading up to the date & a last phone scheduled meeting to be sure we had everything set for the appointment. Avery shopped for my daughter & let me tell you, she picked perfect colors & the size was closer to a "T" perfection. Our team had Nisha lighting, Rhonda make up, Avery production manager & wardrobe, & of course the main photographer Ashkan. Aurora had several improv ideas & with the team they all worked together to create beautiful photos and captured so many amazing poses. During a segment while moving my daughter's nail hit her leg & flipped it backwards. She was bleeding instantly. Avery worked quick to take her to the restroom & had a safety kit within seconds. She kept her calm. The team is ready for unexpected moments. My girl returned feeling so much better & was ready to complete her next 3 changes. Days later she lost her nail but she healed at ease & it's growing back. The finished work looks so much like art that could be displayed in a gallery. I already have friends asking where we went. I love the confidence that was encouraging & built during the session. Thank you for helping make memories for this party of 2. Aurora felt so beautiful & accomplished. If I could we would return more often. I cannot wait for another bonus. I have no words to express what a beautiful experience this was. From the bottom of my heart this was everything! Thank you!

Aurora is so versatile, it was so fun to curate this session for her. The way she navigates different genres with such confidence is so unique. She will go far in this life! Thank you for choosing to work with our studio, and we cannot wait for her next session.

I can hardly believe I found such an amazing photographer. When I was looking to get my first professional headshots taken, I knew that I wasn't okay with the status quo. I wanted something moody, editorial, and striking that would be something I would love, rather than just a picture of me in a blazer. Ashkan DID NOT dissapoint. In fact, he blew the roof off of my expectations! He took all of my look books, mood boards, and personal style into account. He made me feel comfortable immediately, allowed me to take my time, and let me have several outfit and backdrop changes. I cannot recommend or hype him up enough! I am so extremeluy glad that I found him and will 1000% be using him in the future.

Incredibly professional and knowledgeable from start to finish. He came fully prepared, worked efficiently, and had everything organized for quick changes between looks. I really appreciated that he had assistants on hand to help adjust technique and positioning so each shot was strong and polished. The session moved fast without ever feeling rushed, and the results speak for themselves. Highly recommend for dance photography!
