I cannot say enough about David Beyda and his fantastic skills - not just his photography but his unusual ability to get the person who hates to be photographed, who doesn't know how to smile naturally and who is too critical of oneself to appear in even family photos to melt and be natural. He got me to laugh, jump up and down and do every silly thing to get the best shots that I would never, ever do in public. He got some of the most natural photos of me that I had ever seen. Thank you, David. I entered your studio room convinced I was not going to be a candidate for an acceptable headshot and left with a new friend and feeling like a million bucks! Don't hesitate - get on David's schedule!!Posted on Google![]()

I went to David for a passport photo and had such a great experience. He’s warm, funny, and super relatable, so there was none of the usual awkwardness of having your photo taken. He took a bunch of photos to make sure I had plenty to choose from and even offered to keep going if I didn’t find one I liked. I ended up with a passport photo I actually love, which I didn’t think was possible! Highly recommend David.Posted on Google![]()

We had a great experience! The office was very welcoming and the photographer was very friendly, professional, and efficient. His service was fast, and the photos turned out great! He also made sure the photos were the correct size and specifications for my international passport and my kids’ passports, which I really appreciated. As an extra kind gesture, he gave us complimentary photos at the end of the session. That was very thoughtful and unexpected! Highly recommend for professional, quick, and friendly service.Posted on Google![]()

We had such a wonderful experience working with him! We needed Canadian citizenship photos for our kids, and he made the entire process incredibly easy. He was very generous with his time, patient, and efficient, and most importantly, he made our kids feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the session. He knew exactly what specifications the photos needed to meet for Canadian citizenship applications, which gave us great peace of mind. His professionalism, attention to detail, and expertise were truly appreciated. We highly recommend him!Posted on Google![]()

David is the best of the best - incredibly talented and patient, we spent an hour working together to capture the best shot and through several rounds of editing. David is a perfectionist and I would highly recommend working with him on your next project!Posted on Google![]()
