Myrtle Photography

Wow! What a great photographer! Harel was the photographer at our party and he captured the life of our guests so well. He really knows how to effortlessly capture the key moments. A very compassionate personality and reliable communicator. I would highly recommend him!

Harel is awesome. Very professional! Super nice! He made for us birthday photography and capture th eat moment ever! So creative! And the best service we have ever got.
I will definitely recommend him! Thank you Harel for creating a beautiful memories for us!

Myrtle Photography is absolutely wonderful! As a Mom, I’m almost always holding the camera, and rarely in the photos and I am so delighted with the photo shoot that we did with them for us and the children. It’s so wonderful to work with someone who loves life, people, and beautiful images! I would hire Myrtle Photography again in a heartbeat, and it’s only a pity that I didn’t know them when I got married, because I would have trusted them with my wedding photography, and have been a million times happier than I am with the photographer we had back then. If you want someone to go the extra mile, look no further. Your photos will be stunning.

This is my fist review on Unilocal,I don’t usually do it, but this business really deserves it, so here it goes: We are a first time parents and Myrtle Photography did the newborn photo session for our son when he was just ten days old. I would like to highly recommend them! Because they are truly pro and deserve all praises.
First of all, they came all the way to where we live, since we were concerned about leaving the house with a newborn. We got a studio quality setup within the convenience of our home, so that worked great for us.
They were so friendly and patient and just fun to be around! There was no rushing when I had to nurse or change the diaper multiple times. The baby was calm and happy and you could see the results in photos!
And most importantly — those guys are true perfectionists! They had all the pro equipment and full setup for the shooting, just as if we were in a studio! They had all the great experience on how to get the best shot of our baby and had tons of props and cool ideas.
The photos turned out a-​m-​a-​z-​i-​n-​g! The moments that were captured were precious and unforgettable — we could not possibly ask for more. Thank you Hadas and Harel — you are the best.

We decided to have portfolio photos of our 6 months old. Searched and inquired in and round Alameda CA and found them to be pricey. We were contemplating whether to click a few shots ourselves with our high resolution camera buying few props. That’s when our friend passed across Myrtle’s Ad. Harel and Hadas were very nice and accomodative — They squeezed in our appointment at short notice, as we wanted the photos for a party at home the following week. On reaching their studio in SouthShore center, we were warmly welcomed by Harel and his wife Hadas. They knew how to comfort our baby for the studio environment and make him a model during the shoot. They had the patience and timeliness to capture the precious cute expressions of the baby. We enjoyed the entire shooting time. The photos came out very well. We are happy that we found them. We will definitely refer them to our friends and call them again for next photo need.

I’m a freelance actor/​model in the bay area & needed some photos to add to my portfolio. I reached out to Myrtle Photography with the hopes of having a fun shoot and coming out with high quality photos, and my experience with them far exceeded my expectations. They have incredible portable and permanent pro studio set-​ups with different backdrop options to choose from, a beautiful variety of lighting options to work with, reliable gear that they know how to use well (it’s such a relief to work with a photographer who can troubleshoot fast & efficiently) — and the best part is that they’re wonderful to work with! As this was more of an unconventional/​avant-​garde shoot, it was important to me that I felt artistically comfortable in the space as well as knowing I could trust the photographer, and the whole experience came out to be such a delight. The end photos turned out fantastic (they also sent the photos back to me super quickly!) and I’m very excited to have some great new additions to the portfolio. Hadas and Harel are such down to earth, kind people who do their jobs professionally, creatively, and know how to make it fun for everyone. I highly recommend Myrtle Photography to anyone needing pictures for any reason (they’re very versatile!), and also, it’s good karma to support a local up & coming business! Thank you for the beautiful photos!

After a long stay in NICU I decided I wanted to have a professional photograph my newborn. I was referred to Myrtle Photography because I needed someone to come to my home due to my newborns health. When they arrived I was amazed at their professionalism and their ability to transform my livingroom into a studio. The photos were so amazing I subsequently hired Myrtle to shoot my toddler on Christmas tree lane here in alameda. The pictures were far superior to the boring annual Santa pics and the cost was comparable. I received digital copies and a webpage that grandparents can sign into so they can purchase their own copies. Overall it was a great experience and I am grateful we were given their number. I will use them again!
