Anha Reid Photography

She did my newborn pics when he was a week and a half old. He was very cranky and particularly difficult, refusing to go to sleep. The shoot took longer than expected but Anha was very patient and I ended up with some beautiful pics to treasure. She will definitely be taking all of my future munchkin pics

Anha is a ROCKSTAR! She definitely has the eye for style, angles, lighting, and the understanding of the overall look of photos you are trying to achieve. Anha photographs for us personally and professionally for our company [House of Lashes] and knows exactly how to capture every look we want, without even having to completely explain to her! She takes initiative and is incredibly efficient and accommodating, she won’t let you down! Not only is she an amazing photographer, she is very knowledgeable of the craft and even helps and advises us through any photography questions, style trends, and artistic advising. She has helped our company become what it is today with her impeccable work. She is a total superwoman! Thank you Anha for all that you do for us!

If you’re on the fence, let me shove you in the right direction and help you make one of the best decisions, EVER!
First and foremost — Anha is beyond amazing and talented. From makeup to styling and photography, she is a perfectionist in every sense and I am obsessed with her work!
Anha came highly recommended by my dear friend Gwen (Beauty by Gwen) — who together, made the most incredible glam-​duo a bride could ever ask for! At almost 9 months pregnant, Anha traveled 4.5 hours to San Luis Obispo to do makeup for my entire bridal party — that’s 4 maids, 2 moms and a bride… What a champ, right?! She was calm, took her time with individual consults and styled everyone’s makeup perfectly. I specifically mention these details because so many makeup artists just rush the job and everyone ends up with the same look that’s either over/​under done and not always flattering. Anha is the exception. She really studies your features, listens to what you want and executes every look beyond expectations. Some of my gals wanted a natural look, others went for a more sultry option — everyone looked amazing! My makeup lasted all day without requiring any touch-​ups, even after all those baby back ribs! (our reception was in a barn, lol)
Very simply, your makeup will be STUNNING. Her airbrush and contouring techniques are like no other. The makeup she uses is top notch. The application of shadows, textures and dimensions totally wow and don’t get me started on the lashes — swoon! I told you I was obsessed :). Anyway, I live in New York and every time I’m in town for a special occasion, I always and will always go to Anha. I also love that she gives me a new look each time — she’s so creative, has an incredible eye and a really steady hand ;)
On top of it all, she’s an awesome person and she’ll always come through for you. What more can you ask for?! Thank you for everything, Anha!!!

Anha is amazing!!! I was in Orange County visiting my family for Thanksgiving and my sister got Anha to do a family portrait last minute. We are a family of 8 so having everyone together is rare and Anha was so accommodating! All the pictures she took were phenomenal! If you need photos done, definitely call her up! And her rates are great! Would highly recommend her, you will not regret it.

I was lucky enough to have Anha as my photographer for both the engagement and our wedding pictures. I probably couldn’t and wouldn’t be able to find a person of her artsy abilities in Orange County, and if I did they would have charged me an arm and a leg. While her prices are moderatly priced, her eye for photography was very dynamic. I can’t wait to have more reasons to hire her for my future photography needs as when my husband and I (if we ever) have children.

Anha Is such an amazing photographer! We had a family emergency and needed to move our wedding date up and she stepped up and made everything happen! She captured our wedding the way we imagined! Not only did we get an amazing photographer but we gained a friend. Thank you Anha words cannot express how we love and appreciate your work for us! Thanks ANHA!

My husband and I used Anha almost a year ago for our engagement and wedding photos. She was wonderful to work with and was always available when I had questions about anything. We still get compliments about the pictures she took for us

Anha is AMAZING! I first worked with her when she was a make-​up artist. She was already fabulous at that profession but being so talented as she is, of course she picked up on photography and has not stopped since. She’s done 2 photoshoots of me to date and I am completely ecstatic and satisfied with them! Every artist has their own take on how an image should be captured in a given environment and I truly love her creativity and artistic take on things.
You will truly not regret hiring her to photograph your wedding or engagement or any other photoshoot for that matter.
Other pluses:
–flexible, easy to work with.
–prompt and thorough on communication
–wonderful personality just makes you feel completely at ease

ANHA IS THE BEST!!! I really don’t know how else to put it. I just got married this weekend and we hired Anha to be our photographer, and then last min to do my hair and makeup. Our engagement shoot was so pretty and the pics came put gorgeous. I am not a photogenic person and I don’t know how she did it but the photos came out great I don’t know how we narrowed it down to 10 to have her further edit. She is unbelievable with communication, through out the whole wedding process I had vendors that I couldn’t get a hold of but not Anha she’s always there if you have a question. She is so understanding, my fiancé(@ the time) kept having to reschedule our engagement shoot and she didn’t give us attitude or any problems having to reschedule (Thank u). On the day of our wedding I was blessed to have the two contracted photographers as promised as well as a very special 3^rd shooter that she brought along. Like I said Anha did my make up as well and let me just say I’m the biggest Tom boy ull meet and she made me look great!!! I got sooooooooo many compliments about my make up and made my fiancé tear at first look. Even I was made comfortable enough to have a smile on my face allllll night :). My HUSBAND and I are now very ANXIOUSLY awaiting our pictures to preview, we can’t wait we KNOW they will turn out great. If you are debating on booking her for a photographer OR makeup stop, and just book her already! Anha thank you from the bottom of my heart you went above and beyond the call of duties and it was greatly appreciated and congratulations to you as well

Excellence!
I am thrilled WAY beyond expectation with Anha’s photography.
Anha photographed our wedding last month, and I have not been able to stop looking at all the pictures she took!
Anha has a real talent in what she does. During the weeks leading up to our wedding, she was very solid, professional, and eased all of our concerns.
At the wedding itself, I received many comments about how fun and natural Anha was as she was shooting, and how un-​intrusive she was, yet at the same time she made sure to get all the best shots.
I recommend Anha wholeheartedly for any event you want photographed to perfection!

While me and my fiancée were shooting the engagement video for our upcoming wedding, our movie director Don Le of Bliss Imagery highly recommended that we speak with Anha Nguyen for our engagement photo shoot, and that’s how we met…
And I’m glad we we did =)
Anha is very accommodating. We had a deadline of 1 week, and although she was booked with business, she still made time to consult with us AND meet our timeline — as if we were the most important clients in the world. She apparently treats her referrals like gold and that’s hard to find. We appreciated that right out the gate.
She’s also very resourceful. When she understood our photo shoot wishes, she sent us tons of samples online, and knew exactly where in Orange County we should shoot in order to get the look we wanted. I’ve lived here for over 20 years and would’ve never found the hidden gems that she did, had it not been for her.
Anha’s a joy to work with. She was so friendly, kind, funny, and sweet to us. We spent a good part of our photo shoot laughing and telling jokes and still getting down to business. It didn’t feel like a «photographer-​client» relationship that day — it felt more like a «super talented best friend taking good care of their friends» type relationship.
In fact, I think the natural, beautiful smiles in our photos were in due to working with Anha!
On top of those qualities — and arguably the most important — she’s really, really good at what she does. She gave us so many great ideas, poses, and shots that we could choose from and do, took advantage of the environment and surroundings, and she used light and shadows beautifully.
Experience, talent, and love for her trade clearly shines in her work.
There are other things that she did that served our needs — like not only shooting, but doing my fiancée’s makeup; getting our photos to us the very next day and responding to all our emails/​calls; and the list goes on — but you need to work with Anha for any events that are important and that you want memorialized. I can’t speak highly enough of her — and please message me if you’d like an introduction to her.
Thanks for putting our special day in the best light possible, Anha (pun intended)!

Anha’s work is amazing! She did our engagement shoot not too long ago. The pictures came out phenomenal! We actually went with The Notebook inspired theme since it was one of my favorite movies of all time! Her work is absolutely top quality and you can definitely tell when comparing photos to others work. We were definitely happy with the outcome of our photos. We have many to select from and they’re all so good we don’t know which one to choose! Hehe. which is not a bad thing. =)
Anha also does makeup as well. That day she did my hair and makeup to try to go back into time of when The Notebook took place. She’s very talented in every way! I’ve hired her to do my makeup for my BIG day!
She is definitely one of the most talented and creative individuals I’ve ever met and she loves what she does! She has a keen eye when it comes to artistic work. She also makes you feel comfortable during the shoot, so you don’t feel quite odd if it’s your first time taking photos.
Would I ever have her take photos for me again? ABSO-F*^$-LUTELY! Would I recommend her to friends? Yes! yes! YES!
Hire her. you won’t regret it! =) Thanks Anha! Love. love!

I hired Anha for my wedding and she was great. She was on time, very professional and easy to work with. I highly recommend her. I’ve already booked her for an outdoor family shoot this summer. I can’t wait.

Anha is great, her attention to detail is amazing! She is easy to talk to and makes a photo shoot simple and fun. She is always willing to work with you to get the best shots and angles, there is no need to worry. She has an eye for light and color, turning every moment into a beautiful photo.
She is very professional and her photo shop skills are amazing!
i would recommend her for any memorable event!

I first met Anha on a shoot for Empire Makeup Academy, she was both a make-​up artist and a model at the same time. This kind of thing happens more often than you’d think, but never with as much raw talent and ability on both fronts. I thought, wow this girl is really getting into two sides of the industry here. That’s about the time she pulled out her 7D.
Having trained and worked in the beauty industry for as long as she has, she reached a pinnacle in her talents and was thirsty for a new challenge. She began firing away, coming along with me on my shoots and inviting me on hers as well. She’s become my most trusted companion in photography over the years.
When I was offered the job of shooting the ²⁰¹⁰⁄₂₀₁₁ Anaheim Ducks Power Players calender, there was only one person I could imagine asking to come along and provide the makeup artistry and assist in the art direction of the shoots. She made everyone feel comfortable, and made a fraction of the girls laugh with her terrible jokes. Sorry, there’s a reason you’re an artist and not a comedian ;)
Anha is incredibly talented, free-​spirited, creative, professional, and is simply a pleasure to work with. She’s my go-​to second shooter, and I jump at the opportunity to second-​shoot for her. I highly recommend her for any beauty/​engagement/​wedding/​family portrait needs you may have.

I have only one complaint about my experience with Anha.
Our pictures turned out so ‘absoFREAKINlutely-​ridiculously-​OMFG’ beautiful that we’re having a hard time choosing only ONE picture for our annoucement.
After seeing her work on Unilocal and
, I knew I wanted to work with her. During our photo session, she was friendly and creative. Anha has a knack for different angles and really listened to what our needs/​wants were. I can’t believe how amazing our pictures turned out because she excelled past our expectations.
Not only that, she was extrememly accommodating and professional. I could seriously go on and on. Bottom line: If you want beautiful pictures, contact Anha.

Seriously… there’s so much I can say about Anha! One words comes to mind…” fantasmic!!(sp) I first met Anha as my makeup artist. She made me feel so pretty (even though my face was looking quite tired with only a few hours of sleep) on my wedding day!
Not only was she my makeup artist, but she was my photographer for my engagement picture session. Let’s just say the girl has an eye for capturing a vintage/​modern/​timeless image.
I’m going to have the pleasure of seeing Anha at her best while she takes my trash the dress pictures! Can’t wait!
I highly recommend Anha… not only is she a doll but she is so fresh and funny… with a keen eye for capturing you at your best!

Anha has an eye. She simply understands how to capture the emotions at the right time, which separates her from an average photographer.
She’s punctual, reliable, and delivers on what she promises, everything you would expect from a professional. Above all else, she is easy to work with and very friendly. I highly recommend her.
