“My husband and I did our photo story shoot with her and it was amazingly fun and the pics came out beyond our expectations! She is a true artist and magician (she got me to relax in front of a camera, not my favorite thing). She spent several hours with us before even scheduling the photo shoot getting to know us and our story and then magically captured it on film. She made the whole process fun and relaxing. And the photos! We are beyond pleased with the result and can’t recommend her highly enough.”

“I had several phone conversations with Pooja prior to the photo shoot. Her goal was to get to know me so that she could capture my essence in the photos. The entire experience was uplifting and self esteem building. I also had my hair and make-up done by the stylist Pooja provided. The result was a natural look that captured the true me. The photos came out beautiful, more than I could have imagined, and capture who I truly am. I would recommend the experience to everyone. ”

“Wow! What an amazing experience! Pooja thank you a million times for the maternity photo Art! The pictures are so beautiful, very special and unique. I loved that Pooja had dresses at the studio, she help me to stand/seat in the most flattering way, I felt gentle guidance all the time! It’s not easy to feel fabulous at the last month of pregnancy, but those dresses made me feel like a princess! And I have to add that Pooja is very warm and welcoming person, for me it’s very important otherwise I wouldn’t be able to feel relaxed and calm posing at the studio, she was very kind and very patient, I appreciate it a lot!”

I am absolutely thrilled to share my experience with Pooja Photography. As my husband Anand and I celebrated our 20th anniversary this June, we sought a photography session that would truly capture the essence of our beautiful journey together. From the moment I connected with Pooja in February 2023, it was evident that we had found the perfect match.

I cannot recommend Pooja enough. Her exceptional human skills, patience, and ability to tune into her subjects’ personalities truly set her apart. If you are looking for a photographer who not only captures beautiful images but also brings out the best in their subjects, look no further. Pooja is a true talent, and her work speaks for itself.

We had our maternity and newborn photos done with Pooja recently. It’s not easy being 8 months pregnant or having a 7 day old much less taking photos. Pooja made every effort to make sure we were comfortable. She was accommodating with her scheduling both for dates and the shoot itself. She works to make sure we have fun and have real smiles during our shoots. She had a soft gentle touch with our baby, and both made suggestions and listened to our wants to make sure we had the photos to last us our lifetime. We would definitely recommend her!

For my milestone birthday this year, I was looking for a photographer who could capture my essence. I came across Pooja’s work and immediately knew she was the one! The day before my birthday, I stepped into her studio and found myself. I am forever grateful for Pooja’s art! Thank you, Pooja! I can’t wait for my next session and many more milestones.

I loved my maternity session with Pooja. She was very professional and was able to book me at the best time (around 30 weeks). She has a variety of beautiful gowns, props and backdrops and an excellent eye. She guided me through posing and outfits and made the whole experience memorable and special. Her work has been published in various magazines, including Vanity Fair. I was also excited to learn that she has photographed Kristi Yamaguchi’s daughters (she was my favorite Olympian growing up!) I get lots of compliments on my maternity photos and they are a special way to remember this time forever. Thank you, Pooja! I highly recommend.

Pooja gives the attention and detail required to capture the most beautiful images. She takes the time and care needed from the moment you contact her, through the session, and through delivery of the images and products. Her patience with our son was outstanding. We did a family and pregnancy shoot. We will treasure these images and the memories to create them. Thank you so much, Pooja!

I just had my maternity shoot taken last week with Pooja. It was fantastic! She’s really easy to work with and she gave me the exact photos I’ve been dreaming. The whole experience was really fun! I highly recommended!

I have no words to describe her work. Pooja has a magical gift! She is passionate and patient, she definitely loves what she does. She had the ability to keep our newborn calm during our session and also allow us to attend his needs between breastfeeding and diaper changes. Our session was enjoyable. Pooja thank you so much for all the work, time and dedication. ! As you said,”enjoy the moment and happiness “!. We are blessed to have you in our life and grateful for your friendship.

Pooja did the photos for my staff and I at my orthodontic office (crow canyon ortho if you want to check them out). She was so professional and really made the experience fun! I highly recommend Pooja for any of your photography needs!

It was such a great experience getting my baby’s photoshoot done from Pooja. She is so good with babies. She made sure he was calm. Plus she didn’t let me worry at all. I was just lying back and enjoying everything with my 6 year old daughter. Talking of my daughter, she immediately fell in love with Pooja and wants to be a photographer now.
She captured such great moments with my baby boy. All the pictures came out stunning. Pooja was extremely flexible with us too and made sure we were comfortable in every way. Overall it was the best experience from the beginning to the end. I would definitely recommend her!

I cannot say enough positive feedback about Pooja. She has been worth every penny and captured our memories beautifully. From our first discussion, to planning the shoot to arriving and working with her to take direction, to seeing the finished product, it was a positive experience for me and my family. She is compassionate, empathetic, kind and patient. A+

For my milestone birthday this year, I was looking for a photographer who could capture my essence. I came across Pooja’s work and immediately knew she was the one! The day before my birthday, I stepped into her studio and found myself. I am forever grateful for Pooja’s art! Thank you, Pooja! I can’t wait for my next session and many more milestones.

I found Pooja when I had to take some headshots, and I couldn’t be happier with the results and overall experience. Besides being incredibly talented, detail oriented and very responsive, she instantly makes you feel at home when you arrive at her home studio and treats you as if you’ve known each other for the longest time. Plus, she is the ultimate hype woman! I’m very appreciative of how professional and kind she is. If I could give her more than 5 stars, I would!

Pooja’s work is incredible! My tech company hired her for product photography and she did a great job capturing our systems at all angles. Her work has the WOW factor – it’s professional, sleek and well-done. Pooja is also delightful and easy to work with – super accommodating and helpful! I highly recommend her services.

We had an amazing experience with Pooja. We did a newborn photoshoot session. Pooja did a wonderful job and very gentle with our baby. Pooja is wonderful and very communicative. The photos came out beautiful! I highly recommend her for a photoshoot!

Pooja was absolutely great to work with! She took the time to ask questions and understand what I felt most comfortable with for the headshots I needed. It wasn’t just a simple headshot, it was service from start to finish to ensure I felt confident and comfortable to get a natural, but great shot. For someone that is super awkward and bad at taking pictures she made it so easy. – Sapna

Pooja was so easy to work with. I’m a creative and I didn’t want to look like a lawyer or an investment broker. Pooja took the time to get to know my personality. Don’t skip the vision board step in her consultation. It seemed a little silly at first, but it really made a massive difference in how she prepared for our session. I was in and out so fast because we both new exactly what I wanted going in. Thank you Pooja!!! – Christine Lusty (Monarch Designs)

Had a fantastic experience working with Pooja. We needed exec head shots for our website quickly and I personally am not a big fan of taking pictures. Pooja did a great job getting me comfortable, in and out of the studio quickly, and delivered amazing high quality images. – Sean Quick (Albertsons Media Collective)

What a delight it was to work with Pooja. I did my first shoot with Pooja three years ago and still use the photos for EVERYTHING! Social media, LinkedIn, my business card, etc.
Her ability to take a natural photo is unprecedented. Pooja sets herself apart by getting you into an authentic state and photos that have a candid/organic feel. I couldn’t recommend her more highly! – Trevor McAlees (Koda Solar)

Pooja is great at what she does! Not only she made the photoshoot experience fun, she makes sure to capture your true essence in the process which is what I was looking for. She knows her craft yet flexible to listen to your ideas. Highly recommend her!  – Sadia Saif

There is no way that you cannot love Pooja and her art! We asked her to take professional headshots, team shots and candids of a corporate event. She did the homework, she put her subjects at ease, and she has a phenomonal eye for the moment. Additionally, she returned the calls and emails and handled the administrative side like a pro. I had confidence in Pooja from the first call I had with her!  -Lori Peterson (Ameriprise)

Pooja did the photos for my staff and I at my orthodontic office (crow canyon ortho if you want to check them out). She was so professional and really made the experience fun! I highly recommend Pooja for any of your photography needs! – Arash (Crow Canyon Orthodontics)
