Katie helped our plumbing company (Americana Plumbing) take some professional photos for our website. The Photos came out amazing and she even edited them for us for no extra charge. She also helped us with finding two great models to model for our photo shoot. We will definitely be using her again in the future. She deserves 6 stars. Thanks again Katie!! More...

I had formal portraits for my toddler in mind when I came across Panos Productions. As soon as I emailed Katie I got a call and was able to get the portraits done that week. I was so grateful Katie worked with how soon I was hoping to get the portraits done. Katie was very accommodating and considerate wearing a mask as well as having my toddlers favorite music to help with pictures. I am just so blown away with how stunning the portraits turned out!! Can't recommend enough! More...

Get your headshots done here! I'm an actor just getting my start in the industry, and the headshots I received from Katie were phenomenal. It is a small investment that payed itself off within my first gig. You are paying for the services of someone who actually cares about your vision. She helped guide me in my needs as an actor and helped me feel confident during the shoot. She was patient and offered a lot of opportunities to make sure I felt that I got the headshots I needed to book gigs. She was very specific in the adjustments she made in my poses. Her and her team were extremely communicative so I knew what to expect every step of the process before, during, and after the shoot. I'm a broke college graduate, so while the price point was a little intimidating I can reassure you, it was absolutely worth it. She had a quick turn around which helped me hit the ground running. Thank you Katie for your help. Check out my headshots which are also available on my IG @spooky.jimenez More...

We came across Panos through a Groupon and thought we'd give it a try as newborns are only new for so long. I was a little hesitant as I wasn't completely convinced that the photos would be worth the money. I was definitely wrong on that front. Katie was incredibly professional as our daughter was super fussy on the first day. We were there for about 4 hours with a baby that refused to cooperate and Katie was nothing but calm and collected. She was only able to take a couple of photos because the baby refused to cooperate but Katie pulled out a bunch of tricks that she knew to try to calm her down. She worked pretty tirelessly to get the photos that day. Even so, the kid only allowed us to take about two or three poses. Katie worked with us to find another day that we could come back and finish the shoot. She definitely didn't have to accommodate us as she had taken enough pictures for the groupon. The second shoot went much better and she was able to take wonderful photos of our baby. She worked though a massive blowout and was incredibly professional throughout the entire shoot. Our photos look amazing and we ended up getting a lot more than we anticipated because they all look so good! If you're looking for newborn photos, you should absolutely go with Panos. More...

I came across Panos Productions Photography while I was searching the web for a photographer for a newborn photography session the week of my expected delivery date. I had not considered getting my newborn photographed until the very end of my 3rd trimester and I knew it was pretty late to start the search for a photographer. I started noticing that most photographers were asking expecting moms to schedule in the 2nd trimester just to be safe.  Fortunately, as I searched online for some local photographers, I came across Panos Photography and a link to their website. I loved all the pictures on their portfolio and liked even more that there was a lot of information about Katie (the photographer), as well as information about her credentials, policies and frequently asked questions. It was especially nice to see that Katie has experience working with children and takes working with newborns very seriously. She has newborn photography safety training and has the recommended vaccinations to work with newborns. Being a first-time parent, I think this is something that is definitely important, especially since the photographer will be handling your baby within the first few days since birth. Sooo...being that I liked everything that I saw online, I decided to contact Panos Productions Photography. I called and left a voicemail with my information and let them know that my actual due date was right around the corner (less than a week away). I wasn't sure if they would be able to accommodate me but it was definitely something I wanted to mention. I promptly received a text response from Katie acknowledging that she received my message and would be returning my call later in the day. When she called back she did let me know that they would definitely be able to work with me. She advised me that her studio manager, Simone, would be sending me additional information about their newborn studio session and once I signed an agreement, they would wait for me to notify them via email or text of my baby's birth in order to schedule the session.  Simone took care of sending all the info about studio policies, agreement and invoice. The whole process was extremely easy. Simone was prompt in responding whenever I sent anything via email, which I definitely appreciated.It turned out my baby was born over a week after my actual due date. I was able to notify Simone via email of my baby's arrival and she was able to schedule me for a photography session when my baby was nine days old. The morning of the session we drove to Katie's home studio. She was very pleasant and greeted us in her driveway. The studio setup was great and she had several props and wraps ready to go. She was able to soothe, wrap and put our baby back to sleep within a couple minutes of our arrival and was ready to begin photographing. She was able to create several cute shots of him. It was great watching her set up the shots and pose our baby. My husband and I could not stop smiling the whole time we were there. Since we only booked a newborn mini session, we were only there for a little over an hour. Overall, I am very pleased with the images we received of our baby boy. I would definitely recommend Panos Productions Photography to anyone looking for a newborn photographer. Both Katie and Simone are extremely professional and were a pleasure to work with. I definitely look forward to bringing our son back for another session in the future. Thank you, Katie and Simone!-Susana G. (and baby Julian) More...

So happy we found Katie! My husband and I were so impressed by her. Newborn photography is not easy and she went above and beyond to try and get the best photos of our baby. She used to be a special ed teacher and you can tell because she has never ending well of patience! She took her time to calm and swaddle our baby for each outfit change/pose. She used a lot of soothing techniques that my husband and I started using ourselves! She is a true baby whisperer! That combined with her expertise in knowing what poses look good gave us some really incredible and adorable photos. My husband and I are super happy with how they turned out and we will cherish them forever. If you’re still trying to decide which photographer to choose, look no further! Katie will get you the best possible photos! And you’ll probably go home with some really great advice too! Katie recommended to us the Miracle Blanket for swaddling at night. We bought it that same day and have since bought a second one. It has been a lifesaver! So thank you Katie for the great recommendation and the most beautiful photos of our baby boy! More...

Panos Productions Photography did a FANTASTIC job with our newborn photo session. If you are looking to get newborn photos taken - look no further! Katie is a highly talented photographer. Our goal was to walk out of the session with one amazing photo for a birth announcement and honestly - we had a hard time narrowing it down to our top 10 favorites (there were even more than that). Katie was amazing and let us take our time selecting which images we wanted and did not try to pressure us to buy more - she totally let everything be our decision and what we were comfortable with. The best thing I can say about Katie - besides getting a fantastic end result of the MOST amazing photos ever (which is what everyone hopes for)....the photo shoot itself was so smooth sailing. Katie is a PRO with newborns. The safety and comfort of our son was the top priority for her. Other photographers may try to rush to just get you in and out but Katie understands that newborns work off of their own schedule and never rushed anything. She was so good at comforting our son that my husband and I actually felt like we walked away from the session learning some good soothing techniques just from watching her! I only mention that to show you how skilled she is at interacting with newborns - which is something that was very important to us since Katie is the first person to meet our baby outside of the hospital or our home. We will definitely be recommending her to all of our friends and will be going back for future photo shoots as our son reaches other milestones. We cannot recommend Panos Productions Photography enough. BOOK YOUR NEWBORN PHOTO SESSION HERE NOW! You will be SO glad you did!! More...

I contacted Katie about a month ago to set up what was then styled to be a family portrait. While this is not her typical shoot, Katie was so engaged with making sure that I understood the aspects of the portrait before I got off the phone that I called her again about a week later. This is because she was thoughtful, knowledgeable, interested in my vision, and willing to explain step-by-step the entire process to a non-client. Even when it became clear that we had too many people to fit into the space, she helpfully offered suggestions and pose ideas for a different gallery. Her specialty is in maternity, and I am sure many people find her in Tujunga to do infant portraits, but Katie should be your first choice for capturing generational photos, (as we were to do with my mother, grandmother, and daughters), small groups in a set space, and vision ideas of how to capture the images of your family in a truly lovely and meaningful way.

Q&As

I think there is no simple answer to this. But certainly I would say that the technical skills of camera usage, lighting, posing, prop selection etc. are a large part. Evoking connection and emotion is part of the key to stunning images as well. These days, post production, or digital art, is a must-have skill. For me, I spend quite a bit of time coming to understand what kind of images clients want. If they are not sure, helping them decide is critical before any shoot can take place. Finally, I rarely photograph someone, or a family I have not talked to on the phone first. Fine art photography takes effort, not only from me, but from the client's side as well. Meeting, talking, practicing poses, planning wardrobe, shot selections, storyboards etc. are all part of the process of making remarkable portraits.

What experiences have you had with professional photographers before? Do you have a vision board of images you like for your project? What are your goals for your images? What do you want them to do?

I like making people feel comfortable in front of the camera. It is always a great feeling to get authentic images of new parents, or of kids that you know clients would not likely get on their own. I enjoy the excitement people have about preparing for their session. Creating and styling clients so that images are unique is up there on the list of things I love as well.

Photography is a skill set that takes time to attain. Since it had been a hobby for many years, it made sense to use these skills. This is a second career for me. I am a retired special education teacher.

I am certified. Not that many photographers can say that. Also, I have trained with some of the best portrait photographers in Los Angeles. There is no doubt that I am especially good with babies and kids. It's a true attribute I have. If you are looking to get images with maternity, babies, or kids up to age 17 or so, you probably want to at least interview me.

I can do consultations to discuss what you are looking for.

I am fully vaccinated. Studio is cleaned and disinfected after each session.
