CARLA D.A. PHOTOGRAPHY

Joseph Torreano, Head Shot Session

"I have had professional head shots taken before. The experience has always been uncomfortable, exhausting and time consuming. In addition, I have rarely been satisfied with the photos. My experience with Carla was fantastic. It was easy to set up the shoot as Carla was quick and responsive with all communications. At the photo shoot, she had a clear plan and was sensitive to my time constraints. Here's the deal: I hate posing and I hate smiling so photo shoots are uncomfortable and a tinge stressful. Carla put me at ease with her straightforward instructions and professionalism. The photos also turned out GREAT. I would highly recommend Carla for your Linkedin/professional photos."

"My graduation photo shoot experience with Carla was awesome. I went on yelp to try and find a photographer that was willing to take my graduation photos near my school (SJSU). I became worried about finding the right photographer for me because most photographers that I messaged took a long time to respond.

She was quick to respond with a quote and was willing to answer all of my questions. I appreciated the fact that she made me feel like such a valued customer that I went ahead and booked a date shortly after. 
She was supportive of all of my questions and concerns up until the day of the shoot, which I very much appreciated because she was there to help things run smoothly. 

Carla made me feel comfortable all throughout me shoot and offered kind advice on possible poses that would best suit what I was looking for. She improvised a great deal during the shoot and the results worked well in our favor (i.e. making her own confetti with flower petals). After the shoot, she quickly uploaded the best photos in her gallery and let me choose the ones I wanted at home. It took her only a few days to edit the photos and the results blew me away! 

After my experience, I realized how kind, patient, and talented Carla truly is. I am excited to share these photos with the rest of my family and I can't wait to book another photo session with her in the future. 

I highly recommend Carla D.A. photography to anyone who is trying to find a skilled photographer in the San Jose area."

"I had a wonderful experience with Carla! She was very accommodating and quick with her communications. She made the whole process easy and efficient, but didn't lack any of the skill. Her photos really are brilliant! And she isn't just trying to snap your pictures and move you along your way. She really cares about getting your photos right the way you want them. She will be sure to recommend what she thinks will be best for your shots, and trust her -- you won't be disappointed! Her perspective as a model, actress, and photographer is so useful for the results she gets. And her editing is excellent as well! It enhances the photos beautifully while still keeping them natural. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone in need of a photographer and would definitely go to her again!!"

Gabe Manley, Head Shot Session

"Carla is an outstanding individual who really cares about the experience and final product of the photography. I reached out to her after she did an incredible job doing a head shot for me for West Valley College’s production of “Cabaret” and the collaboration was everything that I wanted. She was patient, honest, genuinely involved the entire time and was professional all the way. I definitely recommend her for anyone seeking out someone to aid them with head shots or any other shot for that matter. Thank you so much Carla for your hard work and dedication!"

"Carla is great and her photography skill is amazing! I booked her for a Graduation photo shoot and the photo session was so fun! Carla was friendly and very creative. She was responsive to my messages and did her best to accommodate my requests. She took stunning photos of me, understood my style and what I was looking for. I recommend Carla D.A. Photography to everyone!"

Kayla Oh, Portrait Session

"Can't say enough positive things about my experience shooting with Carla. To begin, she was clear about the concept and was responsive when figuring out details. While out taking pictures she was flexible and creative and made me very comfortable. She was quick to send a gallery of photos for me to choose from and her website and email correspondence were incredibly professional. Highly recommend working with her!!"

Daisy Nguyen, Grad Session

"I don't know where to start! Carla's photography has exceeded my expectations! This is my first time doing a professional photoshoot, therefore I was a little lost, but she guided me through the whole process thoroughly! There were some weather issues and she was kind enough to accommodate all of the circumstances, which I TRULY APPRECIATE. She puts in time and effort to get the perfect shot and location. I am definitely glad to have worked with her and will definitely again in the future!"

 

Amber Shuck, Grad Session

I cannot say enough great things about Carla! I did my graduation photos with her. She answered all of my questions before the photoshoot and made me feel like i had the made decision to splurge on photos. I have never felt comfortable around the camera but Carla made me feel so comfortable. She helped choose poses and knew our photo site very well. She quickly uploaded the proofs the same day and was able to provide the final photos only a few days later. What an awesome surprise!!! I would not hesitate to hire Carla again for any photos you need done. Do not hesitate Carla is the right photographer for you!
