Haus of Portraiture - Santa Monica, California

On Fire For Truth

A Picture-Perfect Experience!

The studio was immaculate! A serene and professional atmosphere that made us feel instantly at ease. The photos captured a moment so beautifully that it took my breath away. Seeing our lives frozen in time like...it that was incredibly emotional. Truly, a picture is worth a thousand words, and this studio has mastered the art of storytelling through images.

My boyfriend and I were chosen for the free couples portrait and we were so excited. Ms. Elise was so kind and explained all the details needed and assured to give more information the closer the date came. The day of our appointment they greeted us, so sweet and friendly letting us change when we arrived and, once we were ready, get our pictures taken. The picture process was very smooth and our photographer was very gentle and swift. They were very accommodating offering beverages and snacks during our wait. Our art director was so kind and explained everything so well making sure we knew all the options and choices that were available. Really trying to get to know us to interpret our relationship into our portrait and even helping my boyfriend and I connect to one despite the different opinions. The place really felt like a memory we captured and we were so glad to experience it together. Only waiting eagerly to see how our portrait will come out.

I won a photo shoot and portrait from them for my dogs and I. They were very helpful and communicative from the beginning with info, attire, etc. The day of the photo shoot, the photographer was awesome and quick, I’ve got high energy heelers (one of which was less than a year old at the time), so keeping them still for more than a minute is quite a feat, and he was great with the dogs. I did end up upgrading my package, because they ended up not only getting a fantastic photo of the dogs and I, but also a great one of just the dogs. They were upfront from the beginning on how long it would take my photos to be delivered, and I actually ended up getting them before they had estimated, so I was thrilled. Opening the package, I’ll admit, I teared up. The finished photos are absolutely stunning, and it’s the nicest photo I have of myself by far. I’d requested that they fixed my puppy’s ears, as she had them back in the actual photo, and they did an amazing job, you’d never tell that was done. Now, the photo of the 3 of us hangs over my bed, and the photo of the dogs is on my wall next to my door, so I get to see them all the time. I’m so grateful to them for the beautiful photos of these dogs who are such a big part of my life. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

I had the best experience ever doing a photo session. I took my dog Lava, who also enjoyed her visit. The staff had plenty of treats on hand when we were shooting to entice her to pose in the perfect spot. The final shots were so beautiful and I can't wait to receive the final product from the artist. 5 stars. ( also I am a content creator, I couldn't imagine such beautiful photos with my dog, but now I feel amazing knowing we have a special high-end custom portrait I can keep in my family for generations. ) Truly a lovely experience. I dressed to the 9's and 10's, in a full length red dress, hair and makeup done, even the nail polish. So fun! Highly recommend.

Wow. I am so incredibly grateful for the experience I had at the Haus of Portraiture. I knew I needed something unique to immortalize the relationship I have with my son and I never thought I would be gifted something so special.

From the moment I arrived, I felt like a guest of honor and well taken care of. Everyone involved in the project was professional and accommodating leading up to the shoot.

Our photographer Cory was kind and thoughtful. I could tell he wanted me to feel and look my best for the photos and I really appreciated his direction. He was also very patient with my pup and knew how to get the perfect shot. Very talented.
Thank you ✨

Afterwards we met with Brooke, our art director. During this intimate session, we chose the photos we thought captured our essence the best and it became unexpectedly emotional. Thank you Brooke for having such a genuine and generous spirit. I appreciate your vision and passion for all that you do ✨

Overall a lovely experience, and I am so excited to own what feels like a regal heirloom. Always and forever, my little prince. Thank you for making a moment last a few lifetimes ?❤️?

Haus of Portraiture is absolutely the best. Me & my family went in for our family photo and from the moment we walked in we felt valued & welcomed. Amazing staff, Amazing photographer, Amazing Atmosphere. On top of all of that, their work is one of a kind. There was no pushy up sale from anyone. They advised you on their product and left the decision totally on you. I 1000% recommend Haus of Portraiture to anyone looking to have their family photo taken. You won’t regret it
