WHY PEOPLE LOVE OUR HEADSHOT PHOTOGRAPHY SERVICES

Cary produced quality, professional photos at a competitive price. I was very satisfied with the product and have gotten compliments on my photos. It is great to have professional photos on hand for LinkedIn and other various reasons in my line of work. Thank you Cary!

Paul DiPaolo

Cary is not only an incredibly gifted San Diego headshot photographer who takes amazing and beautiful photos but he is also very kind, sincere, and a consummate professional from the moment you meet him and throughout the whole time working with him. His fee and portrait prices are very reasonable and he gets your proofs to you in a timely manner. I loved all the photos he took, which made it very difficult to choose which ones to order. He is definitely a five-star photographer and I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Tina Pisciotta

Working with Cary was a very comfortable, fun and professional experience. We felt like we were with a friend from the start of the project to the end. The photos turned out lovely and we are very pleased. We needed an indoor studio and his San Diego headshot photographer studio was perfect for our shots. Hope to use him for outdoor takes someday! I recommend Cary Pennington Photography without hesitation.
