This was my first headshot session done with Jeff and it was a fantastic experience all around! Jeff made me feel relaxed enough to get a bunch of great shots of me and knew exactly what to do and say to get some genuine emotion out of me, which really made the shots turn out awesome. Thanks again Jeff!

We had such a fantastic experience working with Graham & Graham Photography for my son's Bar Mitzvah. The pictures are amazing and Jeff was so wonderful and easy to work with. He gets so many incredible shots without your even realizing that he's there. Jeff also created a great video montage for us that we played at the reception. We've recommended Graham & Graham to several friends (it's Bar Mitzvah season) and they've been very happy too.

Jeff did my headshot and the video of my husband's memorial. I hadn't expected such results because both clearly showed his earnest joy of capturing the moments. I would recommend his photography to anyone.

My family and I had a spectacular experience with Jefferson at Graham and Graham. I have two young kids who enjoyed running around and being silly on the beach. Graham patiently guided them to the locations and poses he was looking for so that they ended up looking great in the photos and having a wonderful time as well. Our shoot was outside by the pier at Manhattan Beach. Jefferson knows the area well and masterfully took advantage of every opportunity to get the right shot including gently getting other beach goers to move out of the shot. Having shared a photo online, I have gotten a few requests for referrals. Would definitely recommend Graham and Graham to anyone.

I've never written a review in my life, but I want to spare other people our horrible experience. My mom booked Jeff at Graham & Graham photography to take a large family reunion photo. Members of our family came from all over the country. I paid to go to Drybar and get my hair done. My sister-in-law and I corralled three children under 4 years old, got them bathed and dressed and showed up on time for the sunset appointment. Jeff was a no-call and no-show.

When my mom reached out to him to ask where he was, he had forgotten our appointment, and told my mom " I'm drawing a blank. Am I supposed to be somewhere?" My mom was crushed. Just a heads up. do not use this guy.

As an entertainer/personal trainer, I am always looking for good photographers. After working with Jeff, I don't need to look any further. Prompt, professional, knowledgeable and above all, creative, Jeff has made each shoot/video painless. He adds insight to my ideas to create images above and beyond what I originally envisioned. Most importantly, he is extremely repectful of time and has the utmost integrity. I will continue to use the services of Graham & Graham Photography as long as they are available.
