We Just had our newborn photoshoot done with Herman at his place and we're absolutely thrilled with the photos!

A big thank you to his lovely wife as well-she was so kind and helpful, especially when the baby was crying. She really helped keep everything on track. We truly appreciate it!

Cannot recommend Herman enough!
He is doing our wedding photos in march and the process with him has been so much easier than we thought!
Her went above and beyond to make sure all our questions were answered and we were prepared and ready so we don't have to stress on the day! The communication from Herman throughout has been nothing short of exceptional!

Emily and Dylan

I don’t usually post much however I would really like to share my experience I had with Herman and Hannah yesterday.
We had a newborn and family photoshoot at Herman John Vargas’ studio. They were absolutely amazing and went above and beyond during the 3 hour session. From the time I contacted Herman, he was very professional. He called to ask what I’m looking for and my expectations. He also sent me questionnaire prior to the session and created a mood board.
During the session yesterday, Hannah looked after us really well ensuring we were comfortable with the temperature there, offered us drinks and space to settle down the newborn. They had a lot of newborn props so we could take a few different styles.
