Dawdy Photography

Amazing service, personable staff, great attention to detail and awesome photos.
I needed to get passport pictures and have tried three different UPS stores, with similar disappointing results. Finally took the plunge and looked for a professional and Dawdy delivered beyond my expectations.

I went there for some passport photographs. They did an excellent job. Good people.

Went back To Dawdy to get passport photos again and as usual great service!

Very professional and friendly. I was there for my U. S passport photo. Their credit card machine was broken and I didn’t have cash on me. The owner just told me to send them a check instead. This place reminds me of days where people trust and are friendly with each other. Will be coming back in the future. Btw, the photo looks great.

I loved them! Needed Canadian passport photos. Faye took multiple shots, powdered my oily face and posed me so I looked my best. Great service and I could tell she loves what she does for a living. Highly recommended and super professional. They knew exactly what they were doing. Im a happy and satisfied customer.

I have known of the name Dawdy Photography for many years, having lived in the Peninsula it is a name connected with the beautiful art of Photography! Anyone, who hears Dawdy Photography knows all their images will be amazing! Finally, this past weekend I got to experience what 30+ years in the business means! It means, class, sophistication, professionalism, passion, and a love for what they do, which captures precious moment in time! It was amazing to watch Mr. & Mrs. Dawdy (Tom and the lovely Faye) in action, they did not miss a beat, they saw images/​moments that many would have missed! Moments in time, they captured it all… best of all they did this with a smile on their face (on a very hot Walnut Creek CA day)…if they were stressed there was no way you could tell!!! AMAZING! I cannot say enough about how hard they worked and with what passion and love they do their art! I cannot call it job b/​c what they do is art!!! They capture beauty that is a fleeting moment in time, with a click you now have that fleeting precious moment forever! Thank you for making the wedding a special day, my family and I were honored to have met you all and finally after all these years I got my picture taken by Dawdy Photography woo hoo! I look forward to seeing you over the years for many more photographs to come! To all Brides, take it from me having been in the bridal business, having a professional team who love what they do and are GREAT at what they do is key and success to great photos on your hectic, but fun wedding day!!! THANK YOU Dawdy Photography for all your hard work! XO Leyla S If I could give you 10 stars I would! (BTW they are great with kids, my little one will tell you that) You made my brothers wedding day stellar!

Tom and Faye Dawdy are two of the greatest photographers I’ve ever met.
My wife and I were married on July 7^th, 2012. Tom and Faye did our engagement pictures and our wedding photos. They all came out absolutely fantastic. It was the best day of our lives, and thanks to the amazing work of Tom and Faye, it is a day we will never forget.

Needed to get a passport photo, in and out in 10 minutes, quick and easy. I checked around on prices and they were reasonable and the end result was good.
Photographer/​owner is professional and friendly. He also provided the digital copy which was great. I would go here again.

Talented, artful, creative photographers. I have been using their services for years and highly recommend their ability.

I recently need an updated business photo of myself. The pressing need was for a club that I joined that puts new member profiles in their newsletter.
I thought it would be good to have a current photo on file for other things that might come up… a new business card or a start-​up company website… whatever. It needed to be better than a passport photo, but I must admit, I didn’t fully appreciate how much work goes into getting it just right.
So, I did some searching around on the Net and found this local photography shop run by Tom and Faye Dawdy. I corresponded by e-​mail and then made an appointment to go in for the shoot. What nice people! They spent about 45 minues shooting me in a suit and open collar and with different color backdrops. Faye made sure the tie was straight and that the clothes laid flat while Tom adjusted the lighting and took the pictures. Within a couple days, I had about 30 proofs and my wife and I picked the ones we liked best. Picked them up (freshly cropped) and put on a CD for me.
The price was right for the value I received. There is a lot more that goes into this than you might think. Thanks Tom and Faye!
