My husband needed a headshot done for work quickly. We decided to try Walt. Walt was very accommodating and reasonably priced. We got a great photo in a quick and painless manner. I found his studio location to be very convenient for me. His studio location also had easy parking and easy access. Thanks!

I have used Walt's services many times now, over the years. He has never failed to exceed my expectations by far. He makes it his business to understand the purpose of taking the pictures, weather it be for a dating site profile or for a family on site shoot and hits the mark right on, by "getting" the right tone and feeling.
I must admit that I am normally impressed and swayed by flash and fancy things. Walt's establishment is certainly not impressive and neither is Walt for that matter. But don't be fooled. Walt is an artist and a pro. He has created masterpieces for

My name is Phillip, I recently visited the shop. I had some negatives of my great grandparents from the mid 1950's, I was very worried because of the age, and sentimental value. Mr. Walt did a fantastic job with the preservation of the negatives, and the prints came out great. I plan on going back with some old slides I found and trust him completely with my archives.

Walt is incredibly talented in addition to being easy and fun to work with. He makes you feel comfortable and at ease from the moment you meet him. I went to see him today for my work portraits and I am incredibly happy with his work. The studio is quaint and plenty of parking. Can't wait to return for a family portrait.

I live in the area and like supporting local businesses. It makes it hard to support if your not even acknowledged as a customer. The gentlemen working was not very attentive towards customers. I went in to take passport photograph. The gentlemen working was assisting a older couple and reviewing pictures on a computer. I waited 25 minutes without any sort of acknowledgement or a " Hi I'll be with you in a minute". I know he saw me because we made eye contact and even the two patrons he was helping saw me. Overall i went to another place in Pasadena and I was in and out within 5

Walt is amazing. I had framed photos of my family members dating back to the late 1800's. I wanted copies made but no one would touch them due to their age. Some frames were nailed shut. I went to Walt and I couldn't have found anyone more well suited to take on the task. He dissembled frames when he could and if not he scanned them through the glass. He also restored 3 photos. Everything came out beautifully. Walt is an artist. He cares so much for the work he does. And his respect for the customer is reflective of generations long gone. Highly recommended.

I found Walt by inquiring on my neighborhood social media page, Next Door, who could help me scan and print very old photos. Everyone recommended Walt. I needed the photos in a hurry (for, sadly, my dad's funeral) and he completely accommodated me by fitting me in at the last minute, did a beautiful job with all of the photos and was as professional and nice as could be. It was not an easy task either since the photos had to be removed carefully from old albums and replaced back in the same spot. I highly recommend for all of your photography needs.

I had my corporate headshots taken by Walt this morning, and I'm so glad that I did them with him.
I actually didn't find Walt's studio through yelp, but I simply google-imaged corporate headshots. I was doing this for a law firm, so there was a very specific look that I was going for -- basically, no frills. I saw a couple great shots of exactly what I was looking for, which led me to his site.
Walt was very professional and has a wealth of experience. I think the last time I took professional pictures was for college graduation, so it has been a while. But Walt made me comfortable

Walt and his team are true professionals who take the time to find out what you really want in a photograph. They did an amazing job for my wedding and are truly a family-focused business. Prior to our wedding, Walt took the time to ask us what we wanted in a photographer. After sharing previous photography horror stories with Walt, he assured us that our wedding day would not be hampered by endless photographs that kept us away from our event. On the day of the wedding, Walt and his team delivered. They ensured that my entire event flowed smoothly and kept any photography disruptions to a minimum

Walt Trepashko took our wedding pictures in 1999 and did a fantastic job. He caught all of the critical shots and then some. Very patient and very professional. We framed a couple of the wedding pictures with a special texture and one ended up with a nasty scratch a few months ago. Uggh! I didn't know if he was still in business, but sure enough he is and he still has the negatives 14 years later! I paid another $180 for the textured enlargement, but it is well worth the money. Walt deserves six stars in my book.
