Emily Sandifer Photography

Emily is awesome! I had the pleasure of doing a shoot with her in Spring of ’14 for my headshots and it was such a great experience. She’s super professional & patient and she knows how to put her clients at ease — as taking photos sometimes (at least for me) can be pretty awkward. Wasn’t the case here. She’s also very kind and down to help you decide which photos to choose (her experience/​knowledge of the business is also very helpful). For the quality of her work and how hard she works for you, her photo shoot packages are very reasonably priced. She also did grad/​portrait shots for my Mom and they came out great! All in all I highly recommend Emily if you’re looking for quality shots and a great photo shoot experience :) *****

Emily is extremely professional as well as a pleasure to work with. She’s full of encouragement and kind words which really helps to make for a positive, relaxed photo session and subsequently better quality pictures! The loft/​studio she works out of is amazing as well. It has all the amenities needed for a successful shoot, a ton of natural light and plenty of space! We had a terrific experience and would highly recommend her!

Emily rocks! I was in need of new headshots for upcoming graduate school auditions and she came to my rescue. Thankfully she generously expedited the process and I ended up with great photos — check out my profile pic!
The shoot itself was fun and the environment was anything but stuffy. She made me feel really comfortable and she has a wicked sense of humor, which ultimately made the shoot fly by! She has a unique gift of capturing natural beauty in her shots (something I find quite rare in the works of many photographers).
Hurry up and book her before she becomes too famous and her prices rise sky high!

Emily is so wonderful with head shots! The natural lighting in her studio is good since we had a bright sunny day during our shoot and it flooded the studio nicely. She met my deadline and several of my requests for the copies since I could not download the photos for the agents. She is cute, wonderful and we love her for being an «artist» with her digital camera.
This is coming from another old school 35 mm photographer (me) who was taught by a well-​known Nikon sports photographer in the 70’s and Landscape photographer in the 90’s and who hates digital cameras but n this case, it worked. Usually I am a avid lover of natural outdoor photographs but this time due to other reasons had to shoot indoors. I’m picky so the subject we were shooting I was the second opinion on the setups and hair dresser/​wardrobe person and Emily seemed to appreciate my inputs of suggestions (or at least she didn’t let on that she minded).
Just some side notes, you must have your clothing already set and ready to match with the accessories so that she can concentrate on just you instead of waiting for you to get your act together — this way there was so many photos that the agents had too many to choose from. The agents were very impressed with her work and so was I. Don’t be late but early to set up your clothing on her racks in the makeup room but be very quiet so not to disturb her when she busy with another client.
Parking is really hard to find. Go on Google maps so that you can familiarize yourself via photo of the building so that find the building. You need to have someone buzz you in to get into the building. When you get off the elevator — and go to the sign that says Studio 301 next to a door — really is not that door — so ring the doorbell near the sign when you get to the 3^rd floor and the entrance is really across the sign. Bring someone to give you a hand in helping you set up and also someone you trust to give you input of your looks during the photo shoot along with Emily.
But as far as the photographs go – very happy with the photographs. We had pictures done at another photographer’s studio which looked like ones for your driver’s license… so we are so very happy with Emily’s work! Plus she really cares about you as a person and not just a quick job and takes so much care in doing a great job!

Really good stuff. Emily helped me meet a deadline on promo photos I needed, worked quickly and efficiently, and created some wonderful photos that I use all the time for many different things. Even my Unilocal profile pic. LOL
She’s great.

Absolutely 5 stars!
Emily is so friendly and funny. She gets real smiles because she knows how to make you comfortable. I was pretty stiff walking in there. But she loosened me right up.
She was very helpful with wardrobe selection and looks.
The final product is incredible! Best ever!
Bottom line:
Great photographer, great head shots! You cannot be disappointed.

Emily Sandifer Came very highly recommended. I hadn’t had many professional photo shoots prior to working with her. I of course was nervous. I had so many questions for her that I felt as if I was a giant pain. She assured me that I wasn’t a pain and that I was in good hands. She not only made me feel comfortable about the upcoming experience but she was extremely prompt with responses to questions I had prior to the shoot.
On the day of the shoot I showed up and noticed her studio was simply amazing. I also wasn’t really nervous anymore. Because she was confident, I was now confident. I could tell that she really knew what she was doing and it was also clearly obvious that she has a real passion for what she does. She was right, it wasn’t too bad afterall. It was a very quick turn around time and I had what I had wanted.
As far as the finished product she produces is concerned, I could not have been more satisfied. When I picked up my actual prints of my headshots from a place called Prints Charmin, the guy said «That is a really great headshot. Who is your photographer?» So I told him and he said «Oh yes, an excellent photographer. And she did a really good job! She always does. You should put one in our window if you like.» So I did!
I was extremely satisfied before this, but when a person who sees 100’s of different photographers work each month comments on how great of a job your photographer always does, you know you made the right decision. I was beyond satisfied by this point. Just about every person that I have given my headshot too has commented on how well done they are.
So not only is Emily experienced in providing excellent customer service, she is an experienced & confident professional that is a highly recommended and a highly skilled photographer. Seriously, look no further.

I really don’t like getting headshots, but Emily made me look forward to it from now on. She is professional sweet and great to work with. She knows how to get the best out of her clients.

Emily is truly a pleasure to work with and is an amazing photographer! She keeps things super relaxed and her studio is beautiful. She uses all natural lighting and is one of the easiest, most professional photographers I’ve ever worked with. The headshots were, by far, the best I’ve ever had taken. Everything from scheduling and pre-​shoot coordinating, to the actual shoot itself and even post shoot touch-​ups and proofs were taken care of seamlessly and expeditiously. I plan on using Emily again in the future without a doubt!

I have known and worked with Emily Sandifer for many years. She has been the official photographer for the brand UNNUR for as long as I have known her. She is simply FANTASTIC. The images that she has shot for me and my business have been featured in high end magazines in the US, Asia and Europe. Emily is able to create various atmospheres through her photos, and shows great versatility as well. She directs greatly for first time models/​actors and knows how to feature a persons best angle.
Emily is very organized, punctual, and professional in every way.
I will continue to work with her on my creative projects without a doubt.

Emily does an excellent job of making you feel comfortable and capturing your personality in wonderful photos. In an industry where your first impression is often made via photograph, you’d better have a good one, and Emily delivers.
The only downside is having to pick favorites when there are so many great shots.

I have been a professional actress for over 8 years and I have worked with many different photographers. Well, in my opinion, Emily is the bee’s knees. She is a true professional and down to Earth. She made me feel totally at home and comfortable. The studio is so beautiful. She takes her time to capture the true beauty and essence of who you really are. The quality of her work is amazing. She certainly knows her stuff and I am over the moon about the proofs. I will recommend her to all of my friends in the entertainment industry and can not wait to shoot with her again!!!

Emily Sandifer is seriously amazing! The photos she took were so good — literally every single person who sees my headshots asks me who did them. She’s a perfectionist, and that came through in her attention to detail — the lighting, and the best angles of my face. Even outfit selection was a discussion that I found very helpful before we began shooting. I ended up with the most natural photos that always get extra attention at auditions.
Emily Sandifer is a great photographer, and a very cool person. I give my highest possible recommendation for her.

Emily is by far the best headshot photographer I’ve ever had — not only does she have an eye for what makes you stand out, but she makes the whole experience a pleasure. Very reasonable rates, too. I was so impressed by her work that I asked her to be my wedding/​engagement photographer as well.

Emily is the best photographer I have ever worked with! She is professional, fun, and extremely talented. Her prices are competitive amongst other highly rated photographers, but if you compare quality to quality then I would say to get her services now before her rates go up to what they should be. I will be working with her again and as oftenly as I can!

This is really as good as it gets. Emily is so much fun to work with. I got an opportunity to shoot as her second shooter at a wedding and I had a blast working with her. I also had my headshots done with her and they turned out amazing. One of her many strengths is capturing the beauty in a person’s eyes. I can’t say enough good things about Emily and her photography. This is the place to go for headshots!

Emily is the most professional and the most talented Photographer in L.A. Yes, I said it, because it’s damn true. The quality and the beauty in her photos is beyond perfect. I’ve heard stories that actors have booked gigs on their headshots alone. That says something about her work. So, if you want a kickass headshot or you have a need for an artsy fartsy shoot, call Emily!

Emily ROCKS MY SOCKS … The studio she shoots in is beautiful and fun b.c. gives lots of options for your shoot.
What’s so wonderful about Emily isn’t even how talented a photographer she is … Although; that’s pretty great, too! … It’s how comfortable an environment she provides. …
She is sweet and easy to be around which makes the time fly by.
Her work is fabulous and even if she wasn’t a cool person — I’d still recommend her based only on her photos!!!

Emily is by far my favorite photographer out of a lonnnnnnggggg list. She has the best attitude on set. Her energy fuels creativity and her personality makes you at ease instantly. Aside from the woman, her work itself can stand on its own. Amazing quality photos and she puts her own personal spin on everything she does. Her work is one of a kind. I’d recommend her for any kind of photography need — model portfolio, acting headshots, personal needs. She can do it all.

Emily is an AMAZING photographer!
She takes the best head shots that I have ever seen and I am very familiar with her work. She captures the person and illuminates their eyes with her lens.
Her studio is amazing, expansive, with plenty of different backgrounds to shoot around.
If you need head shots or are a model developing a portfolio you must shoot with Emily! You will be blown away by the results, not to mention her stellar personality and ability to bring out the best in you during your shoot while simultaneously making you feel really comfortable.
