Featured Reviews for Local Photographers in San Mateo County

Joy Coakley Photography
Local Photographers in San Mateo County
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 4, 2019
“I've used Joy Coakley's services to photograph many of my projects posted on Houzz and my website. She's dependable and easy to work with. She has a great eye and sensibility. She's responsive and her turn around time is good..usually getting your shots in a week or so. She's a stylist as well so she knows how to fold a throw or bath towels like a super hero! : ) I already her scheduled for have a few new projects!”
Scott Donschikowski Photography
Local Photographers in San Mateo County
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 8, 2023
“Scott is phenomenal at what he does! As a realtor, it's important to have a trusted photographer that makes your listings pop and look stunning online. That's the result I get after any photoshoot. He's incredibly responsive, communicative, and most importantly, will give you his insight when you're needing some guidance. Getting a home prepared to go on the market is stressful enough. Having Scott take care of this part of the process will put your mind a lot more at ease. My sellers have always said the most positive things when the photos get turned around. I highly recommend using Scott for any of your photography needs.”
Khalil Robinson Photographs
Local Photographers in San Mateo County
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 1, 2021
“I have used Khalil to photograph my California interior projects and he has done a wonderful job. He really makes the project come alive and is super easy to work with. He is patient as I move everything around and restyle the room. He is flexible and makes sure I am happy with the shots before we call it a wrap. I highly recommend working with Khalil.”
Abraham & Paulin Photography
Local Photographers in San Mateo County
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 15, 2015
“I have known Russell for 30 years and he is the consummate professional to work with. I think his greatest talent has been his ability to have the viewer feel as if they are part of the interiors, something I don't see in a lot of interior photography.”
Caroline Tudor Photography
Local Photographers in San Mateo County
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 16, 2014
“Clean, clear, professional, high quality photos. Caroline has a perfect attention for detail, great to work with - she really took my website to the next level. Highly recommend ;)”
Ali Atri Photography
Local Photographers in San Mateo County
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 23, 2012
“I work for the Community Development Dept for the City of Redwood City and hired Ali Atri to take promotional photos of our Downtown Courthouse Square, then newly built in 2007. The purpose of these photos was for marketing our Downtown. Ali did such quality work that we (still) use his shots in hundreds of ways to continually promote our city. We also hired him again two years ago to memorialize a special event that was held downtown. Ali was prompt, courteous, energetic, and creative in his work, and his expertise with the camera was some of the best I've seen. I highly recommend Ali Atri for any photography work when you want top quality. Gary Kelly”

“Ramona has a great understanding of all the technical aspects that make a good architectural photograph. She can look at a space and know exactly what angle and time of day will make the space shine. She pays attention to all the little details and is also has an engaging personality.”
Leila Seppa Photography
Local Photographers in San Mateo County
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 23, 2017
“Leila is really wonderful to work with: she has a great eye for capturing the essence of interior spaces and exterior landscapes. She is a consummate professional: great communication and punctuality, meets deadlines for deliverables, and manages everything but the actual shoot online which is convenient and a time saver. She is also a wonderful person, delightful to work with. You can't go wrong with Leila!”
Cherie Cordellos Photography
Local Photographers in San Mateo County
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 2, 2014
“Knowledgeable. Creative. Easy to Work With. Cherie's knowledge of her craft goes well beyond standing behind the camera, she has an eye for detail, understands light, and can find just the right vantage point to show off the subject at its best. Specializing in architectural images-her talents don't stop there. People, pets and products are all handled with the same talent. She also understands the end product so a short discussion regarding the need will help secure the best results. I always look forward to working with her images. As a designer it makes my job much easier and saves me valuable time. I would (and do) recommend her to anyone looking for a thorough and experienced photographer. Our latest project was a multi-million dollar estate of exceptional quality.”
CASAMOKIO
Local Photographers in San Mateo County
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 27, 2013
“We have used Nate's professional services to photograph completed remodeling projects that range from great room type kitchen spaces, as well as, more intimate bathroom spaces. Regardless of scale of project, Nate is ALWAYS: 1. Prompt and considerate of the client's space. 2. His staging critiques are always spot-on in getting the right photographic composition 3. He communicates his ideas/concepts clearly so that you can make decisions on how to approach a certain shot/angle. 4. Perhaps most importantly, he is easy to work. He is outstanding "behind the scenes", as well as, client interfacing. I would recommend Nate's services without hesitation.”

If you're thinking of selling or renting your San Mateo County, CA house, hiring a home photographer can make a big difference between making money and just breaking even. Think about when you look at photos of homes online: If the lighting is terrible, the quality is poor and the listing provides very few photos, don't you subconsciously associate these bad qualities with the homeowner or renter? A home photographer helps with those challenges.

What Is a Home Photographer?


A home photographer is trained to make your home look its best. If you are a design professional — an architect, an interior designer or a contractor, for example — consider hiring a photographer to capture your work to enhance your portfolio, and to attract and engage new clients. They understand what buyers and renters are looking for, and they have the equipment and editing skills to fulfill those expectations.

Professional home photographers vary quite widely in the services that they offer. Some photographers include home staging in their rate, some include editing and some want to come prior to the shoot date to set up shots. Others will not offer these services unless asked or will charge an additional rate. Make sure you ask the photographer beforehand what is included in the cost. If he or she does not offer everything you need, you might want to consider reaching out to other professionals to get the best finished product. Here are some related professionals and vendors to complement the work of photographers: Home Stagers, Interior Designers & Decorators, Architects & Building Designers, Real Estate Agents.

Before you call any potential photographers, make sure they have good references. Friends who've sold or rented homes before are great resources, as are local real estate agents. Look through each California photographer's online portfolio to make sure what you're looking for is being offered. Once you've done that, it's a good idea to walk around your home and write down exactly how many and what types of shots you'll need. Include any specifications you might have, such as angles, things to consider about your home’s San Mateo County, CA site, the time of day you think will be best and aspects of your home you want to highlight.

Questions to ask a home photographer:


  • Is photo editing included in your rate?
  • How long will it take for you to provide the photos?
  • Do you do home staging?
  • What happens if I don't like the first round of photos?
  • Do you offer consultations prior to the shoot?
