Simonson is the absolute best photographer we could have gotten to do our maternity and new born photos. She's professional and friendly. She's very diligent with her work and the end product reflects that. She's very responsive and her turnover time is amazing. We got our maternity photos within 3 days of the session and the newborn ones within a week. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Last summer, over the July 4th weekend, my husband and I met our two sons in Laguna Niguel to celebrate my 60th birthday. In addition to this wonderful opportunity to get together to celebrate, I also wanted for my birthday, a professional family portrait to commemorate the occasion. Eric Simonson and his wife, Valerie, fulfilled that wish. On a very busy holiday weekend they met us for what turned out to be a very relaxed and fun photo session. Eric and Valerie work skillfully as a team and the results were beautiful finished portraits my family and I will always cherish.

Who knew a beach portrait session could be so much fun! Eric and Valerie made this experience a very positive one for my family. They focused on every detail to ensure the poses were flattering and flawless. I appreciated that they had delightful senses of humor which kept us full of natural smiles throughout the photo shoot.
When the proofs were ready, Eric was patient and helpful with making final selections. I am thrilled with the results! This was a wonderful experience that captured a beautiful memory forever.

Recently my family took photos at the beach due to a special senior portrait offer by Simonson Photography. What an amazing experience! Eric and his wife were so professional, friendly, and they were enthusiastic to work with us! They had great suggestions for poses and let us create some of our unique poses as well. Eric then spent so much time going over the pictures to make sure we made the best choice. We love the poses we chose and I would definitely recommend to anyone to choose Simonson Photography for any protrait needs!

A first impression is a critical component in connecting yourself to the professional world. As a 22-year old recent graduate of UCLA, I realized how difficult it can be to find a job. With a new horizon of virtual connectivity, I wanted to sharpen up my LinkedIn profile with a polished and professional portrait. I sought out Eric for two reasons. He was well known in the community for his stellar work, and I've known him and his family for several years. They are truly some of the kindest personalities you'll ever meet.
Even if you are not photogenic, you will find that Eric has a natural ability

Eric and Valerie made replacing our 15 year old family portrait a joy.. They are extremely flexible, professional and focused on achieving the best possible outcome. Without hesitation, they offered to reschedule our beach photo shoot when our planned date was a bit foggy and offered us multiple alternative dates. On the day of the shoot, they put everyone at ease and the result was a very relaxed and enjoyable experience. When the proofs were ready, Eric spent a significant amount of time walking us through the selection process. I wanted to come back and double check our choices (twice) and Eric

We recently had a photo session with Eric and Valerie at the beach. Having never had a professional photo done before, we didn't know what to expect. Eric and Valerie are very professional and offer numerous suggestions as to poses etc. Meticulous attention was paid to every detail which can really make a difference. Within a week we had a viewing session to choose our family portrait. The end result was wonderful and processed in such a timely manner. They have a great selection of frames as well to suit any décor. We recommend Simonson Photography 110%!!
