East Bay Headshot Photographer Reviews

If you're reading this review, BOOK NINA FOR YOUR HEADSHOT! This was my first professional headshot, and I sought assistance from Google to weed through the many headshot photographers and companies in the Bay Area. I'm so glad that I chose Nina, as the experience was smooth and easy from the start. The online booking was simple, and Nina immediately reached out to provide support. Nina booked Sam, an incredible makeup artist, and I really enjoyed our chat before the session. Nina has a way to make you feel incredibly comfortable and empowered. Nina shows you the photos as she takes them, with adjustments made as needed. The first pic was fantastic, capturing my personality magically somehow. The most difficult decision was choosing the final pics! I had 4 outfit changes and picked pics from each outfit/stance. The pics were retouched lightening fast, and I have enjoyed telling everyone about my extraordinary headshot experience with Nina. Thank you, Nina!!!

I had the pleasure of working with Nina last week and it was an amazing experience. Nina immediately put me at ease and told me exactly what to do. My headshots were beautiful and were exactly what I was looking for. I appreciate all that Nina did to make this a fun experience which resulted in pictures that I'm proud of! Thank you, Nina! I can't wait to work with you again.

An incredible person and photographer! Showing up I had no idea what to expect, but Nina immediately made me feel comfortable and confident. She loves what she does, so much that I loved it too, and walked away with an appreciation for the hard work she puts in for her clients! The headshots turned out better than I could have ever imagined!

Nina volunteers with an non-profit providing headshots for transitioning military personel.This is important because I feel like many people say they “support the troops,” but Nina is out here truly dedicating time and support to transitioning service members. Not many people can say that!

Impressive, caring, compassionate, fun, down to earth, relatable, professional…all Nina! Thank you for your support. The world needs more people like you.

Nina is an absolute gem when it comes to capturing the perfect headshots! From the moment I stepped into her studio, her warmth and enthusiasm made the entire experience truly enjoyable. Not only is she incredibly skilled behind the lens, but her personality shines through, making the session not just a photo shoot, but a delightful conversation. Nina's ability to make you feel at ease reflects in her work, resulting in stunning headshots that truly capture your essence. Her recommendations were spot on, and the final photos exceeded all expectations. I can't recommend Nina enough – she's not just a talented photographer, but an amazing person to work with!

Nina is a joy to work with! Her experience as a headshot photographer is obviously in the first few minutes of working with her. She took headshots of our team at Summit Financial Group. She made the entire process of scheduling and image selection very easy which saved us so much time. Everyone raved about her, and she made us look our best. Highly recommend!

Nina Pomeroy’s infectious personality and professional eye filled the session with laughs and joy from the moment I stepped into her studio. I am excited to use this headshot to create my personal brand as I begin my venture in exploring new job opportunities in the near future. Anyone in the area looking to get professional headshots, I suggest contacting Nina, she is the best!

If there 10 stars Nina would get every single one. She is personable, professional, and has unmatched charisma. I HATE taking photos but Nina helped me get comfortable and delivered the perfect professional headshot for my professional profiles and website. She gave me the greatest gift upon my retirement from the military... a photo that has grabbed attention while entering the professional job market. If you are in need a great headshot and experience look no further.

Nina has a real gift for this! I was legit nervous to do this photoshoot (I don’t photograph well)… Nina put me at ease immediately. She is so personable and warm and really a great listener. We found common ground instantly and I was laughing within 45 seconds of entering the office. Before I knew it, she had all my preconceived notions about photo shoots out the window and she coached me through it— I’m not kidding when I tell you that when she pulled me over to look at the first group of images, I was SHOCKED! I thought, “who is that person!!!?” (Nina took some really flattering pics I didn’t even recognize myself!) To top it off, Nina is a genuinely wonderful human being. I can’t wait to do a family photo shoot with her in the future! Folks, you’re in the best hands with Nina Pomeroy!

My favorite part was how comfortable she made me feel which I think was captured in my photos. Nina has a gift for bringing the best out in her clients; young or old. She's a rock star; you'll love working with her. Her tips really helped me prepare in advance too! She's so worth the investment and so are you.

I could tell this was different because we chatted about what I was thinking and you were so open to it. From our first step into the suggested locations, your eye was on full power – you were able to see great spots and backgrounds right off the cuff, and the photos prove how great they were! We were working with sun and shadows and very different backgrounds with textures and people walking around. You were a complete pro with each situation and I was so at ease due to your confidence.

I really loved the two words exercise. I’m a big visualizer so having those two words really helped me embody what they felt like, the person I want to live as with those two words. Throughout the shoot, you talked to me about me and my business and my vision for myself. I felt fully seen and heard (I mean it! What a gift you have!) That combined with your sense of humor and warmth, it was natural to have the real Me come through.

I think every person is nervous to have headshots done. Will I look like a robot? Will it just look like anyone else’s photo? I have had professional photos taken before, but I have never experienced such ease and confidence as I did in this shoot with you, Nina! I really appreciate the coaching in how to stand and tips to relax – as you can see from the photos, your tips worked wonderfully. I don’t look like a robot and I don’t have a fake smile plastered on my face and I’m not standing in an awkward position! You have a great sense of how your subject might be feeling and have a magical skill to put them at ease. I had a great time with you, and LOVE LOVE LOVE my photos!
