Dennis is a consummate professional and I am so happy to have been able to work with him. I have never done a professional photoshoot before and I was pretty nervous and a bit tense. Dennis is extremely personable and helped me relax a bit. He also is fantastic at suggesting poses and coaching you how to get the right pose. He has a great eye for capturing the perfect angles and lighting as well. Dennis was also very flexible with my changing schedule and had great suggestions for locations on where to shoot. I highly recommend booking a photoshoot for any occasion with Dennis. I will definitely be contacting him again for my next event.

    We were very pleased with Dino’s flexibility in making a family photo shoot work for us while we were on vacation! He was very prompt in getting proofs to us. I’m excited to get the final pictures printed and hung up!

    I recommend Mr. Caderao if you are looking for someone to do professional photo restoration. He restored three photographs for me and one was a picture of my mother when she was a child and it was in bad condition. When he finished the restoration it came out looking great. I have other photographs that I will have restored by Mr. Caderao because his work is truly amazing! C.Rogers, Long Beach CA

    It’s in process, I liked Dino met with same day we spoke. We got an agreed regarding the photo repair & of course- final price will be determined at the time of completion. Dino & I clicked, & he was very open on what was needed to bring the final result I requested. It’s in process, however I left the photo with him & trust his judgement on what was needed. Currently still awaiting word.... Dino, finished the job in less than a week. My wife & I ordered 1 of each finish- a b&w, and a colored. Dino’s skills as a restorer is impeccable & he revived the photo better than the original. He charged us a very fair price. His work will make my family members very happy. Check out his prior jobs on his portfolio it’ll speak for itself. We give him actually 10 stars! ????????????????????
