SERGIO ARRIAGA, Real estate agent

As a new Real Estate Agent in Elk Grove, CA, I had a very specific look and feel that I wanted for my very first Business Headshot. I began to google search for photographers in the area who could possibly do what I was looking for. I wanted a very modern, yet professional look for my picture. I began to lose hope in finding a photographer, that is, until I came across Mayumi’s incredible website. Her pictures were great, and everything I had been looking for. The process of booking my appointment was very personable and seamless. It wasn’t an automated system; Mayumi personally called me to talk a bit about what I wanted and to give me the pricing. After agreeing, I was sent an email, then scheduled the appointment. Today was my appointment, and needless to say I was excited. I went to the studio, and was greeted at the door. We discussed more about how I wanted to look along with Mayumi providing her professional input. We agreed what outfits to wear, than began our shoot. This was my very first photoshoot experience, and it was great. Mayumi was kind, professional, experienced, creative, and patient. I felt comfortable throughout the photoshoot and we got some amazing shots due to her expert guidance. All-in-all, this experience was great and I will most certainly be back for more photos. Highly suggested to anyone looking for a great photographer.

So happy I found Mayumi! Such a sweet person. Excellent photographer! She does enjoy her work!! Always smiling!!
Searched around the Internet for a business headshot photographer who would capture a certain look I had in my mind, not the standard blue background cookie cutter shot. Mayumi's website captured my attention. We met, I explained my vision & we agreed she could help me achieve my photographic dreams.  She was very patient, spent an incredible amount of time with this gal, who is NOT a model, ensuring she had incredible shots! Now, EVERY time I hand out my business card, people pause and comment about what a beautiful photo I have. Bought other beautiful photos as well, for social media sites.  I highly recommend Mayumi Acosta Photography!So happy I found Mayumi! Such a sweet person. Excellent photographer! She does enjoy her work!! Always smiling!!

As someone who hates, and by hate I mean absolutely detests, taking photos, I was blown away by Mayumi’s work and attention to detail when I approached her about being my photographer. Not since my senior year of high school have I had professional photos of myself taken, and when I explained this to Mayumi she immediately asked “Why?” and what details would I change about my photos if presented with the opportunity. Without hesitation or a fraction of a doubt, she convinced me how she would be capable of transforming everything I hated about taking photos of myself into something I would grow to love. From our consultation to our photoshoot, Mayumi was extremely professional, hospitable, and above all, devoted to ensuring she would captured the BEST ME I’ve ever seen. This was even more evident when she took more of her time, outside of our scheduled time frame, to continue taking photos and guaranteeing she’d capture something I’d love. I’ve always wanted to take professional photos of myself, but lacked both the confidence and motivation in order to follow through. This all changed when she helped me solidify ideas for several portraits along with her unique artistic viewpoint that’s unrivaled in Sacramento. To say Mayumi has a gift for photography would be an understatement. She’s absolutely phenomenal at what she does and her work speaks for itself. As a young professional who is embarking on a new career, she helped me portray the confidence, charisma and passion I display in my everyday life. There’s no doubt in my mind that she’d be able to do the same for anyone who is seeking to discover more of themselves they’ve yet to see.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience today getting headshots done with Mayumi. She was professional, funny, and very comforting. She has a beautiful, well-equipped studio. It’s very apparent how knowledgeable and talented she is with photography. I received my edited photos within four hours after I left! I will be sure to return in the near future to expand my portfolio. Be sure to check out her Instagram page!

We decided to start the new year with some professional portraits for our real estate team. My husband found photographer Mayumi Acosta online and liked the look of her site. He also knew that there would be a few picky women in his group who don't love having their picture taken. Mayumi was a total pro! She really knows her stuff and how to put people at ease. My son said I looked 'glamorous' . Thanks a bunch, Mayumi!

KIMANI ADAM, Chief Nature Expeditions Group

Overall, Mayumi was great! She was professional, prepared, and gave excellent advice on wardrobe outfits for my photograph session with her. During my photograph session in her studio, she was dynamic, and straight to the point in getting the best pictures right away. As a whole, Mayumi's process is extremely effective in getting the best results out of her photograph sessions. Thanks, Mayumi!

I think Mayumi is wonderful, my photos come out amazing and I get lots of casting calls and more work for creative projects off the photos she shot. I love being around Mayumi, she makes you feel comfortable and there is never a dull moment when you shoot with her! She truly loves what she does!
