I used this studio to capture images and videos of a client and the experience was nothing short of amazing. Shashi ensures that you have everything you need to capture the best images possible. She has amazing gear, a makeup room, and place for the clients to change. Her rental sessions are highly affordable and her space is very clean and organized. As a fellow photographer, I highly recommend her for rental space and to photograph you and your loved ones. Her images and creativity depicted in the images, are out of this world!

Tried to use their services twice. The first time I booked and got cancelled on, needed the photos by a specific time and had to reschedule taking my son out of school. Got the photos but very inconvenient. Tried to book again, a year later, and need the photos for myself by Tuesday. I booked, got a confirmation email, sent an email to confirm the address and got no response to that email. Got an automated email with an address and showed up only to find out I wasn’t on the books for today. I couldn’t get the shoot done today but I will NEVER use their services again and will NOT recommend. A lot of business goes here based on my manager but I will be letting him know this is not the place to get headshots. I recommend Roy cox. This was unreliable and no communication.

I recently had the pleasure of working with a talented photographer named Shashi (owner of SSY Fotos). Shashi was a joy to work with and her professionalism far exceeded my expectations. My photos turned out excellent due to her keen eye and attention to details. The best part of the experience was how much fun she made the photo shoot. I felt relaxed and was able to hone into my wild side and just have a ball, which resulted in great photos! I will definitely be using Shashi again for photos and can't wait until the next photo shoot.

Amazing work! Shashi’s program Kids Industry Prep. She dedicates herself to the clients and her craft Is just hands down the best. Beautiful pictures, quality work! She’s my go to photographer and mentor. Whether its family shoots, updating your look book, learning the industry. She will get the work done right at SSY photos/Kids Industry Prep.

I LOVE how the photos turned out! Shashi is amazing and incredibly professional, organized, friendly, and so easy to work with. It was great to have a photographer I could trust, and I am so thankful that we found each other – nobody could have done a better job capturing the most special moments of the youths lives.

Since working with Shashi at SSY my daughter has discovered her beauty both inside and out. I call it her “Black Girl Magic”. She has come out of her shell and loves the experience of being in front of the camera. Shashi not only takes great pictures but she helps young kids realize their potential all from the lens of her camera. Thank you Shashi for a wonderful experience.

We learned a lot about the industry for my kids in a safe environment. We gained valuable information from Shashi. What I love the most about SSY Fotos is that they allow kids to be kids and the photographs are age appropriate.

BEWARE. . . .Sigh . . . This photographer main method of communication is email and very RARELY will make herself available for phone conversations. Once you have an initial consultation be sure to memorialize the discussion and re-clarify because she is NOT a woman of her word! She will quote her contract consistently in the email regardless of what your questions and or concerns are (ANNOYING and DEFLECTION) from answering questions from her customers. She delivers an on time product and rightfully so charges for every change beyond what is in the package. I had absolutely NO problem with her prices; HOWEVER her CUSTOMER SERVICE is PUTRID and HORRIBLE. If I didn’t have the make-artist that I had who worked with her before as a go between; I would’ve NEVER received my photos. Although the photographer has the rights to the photos; She’ll post them on social media without your permission and blocked you after you ask her to take them down.

Again, I have warned you so when things begin to fall apart remember the review that provided you with insight before doing business with her.
