I wasn't raised by a pack of roaming photographers as one of their own. There was no burst of light and divine inspiration leading me to photography. No death bed promise to a loved one about picking up a camera and continuing the good fight. No chance meeting with Ansel Adams or Scavullo from which to draw inspiration. No years spent at a university in studious pursuit of photography's golden rule. It just happened. I scrimped and saved to buy my first camera. Then came photo books and lots of reading and experimentation.

EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE from start to finish. Called needing headshots for business purposes. Rudy was patient with my questions, and provided lots of valuable information pre scheduling his services. I usually call around before making a decision, but something just felt right after speaking to Rudy Meyer. Scheduled appointment and makeup services. Whole shoot from start to finish was about 4.5 hours. Warren, Haley and Rudy were very welcoming, informative and made the whole experience relaxing and joyful.
I truly enjoyed the ATTENTION to DETAIL (hair, makeup, clothing, jewelry, posture EVERYTHING). Oh and very professional! Can't wait to book Rudy and his crew again in the future!

What an amazing experience at Rudy's Meyers Photography. Called around for Head shots and he was not the cheapest. But he was the only one who got on phone and explained entire process. His assistant Courtney emailed me and sent me a grooming list and wardrobe suggestions. For someone new to process this was so helpful. The Day of the shoot Helped with wardrobe process and made me feel comfortable like family. Overall will recommend to all my contacts. All my photography needs will be taken care of by Rudy Meyers.

Rudy, Courtney and staff are amazing. They are talented, patient 'craftsmen' and artists. They care about the quality of their work and make considerable effort to ensure that things go well at their shoots. If they can make me look good on film, and they did, they can do that for anyone. I love these guys! And I just shot with them again and if anything, I would double the emphasis on everything I just said. Success is in the details and they pay attention to the details.

Rudy and Courtney did such an amazing job for our Audiologist's headshots! I was doing research for companies who do headshots, and a lot of them were the average studio photo experience. I wanted something that was more than a photo- I wanted a good experience which is what they delivered on. Their studio is very eclectic and makes the process fun, their makeup artist did a fantastic job and both ladies said they felt like special. We definitely opted for the makeup perk, and I can honestly say the photos turned out amazing. We will definitely be using them again in the future.

Don't get your corporate pictures done here! This guy is weird. He took the worst pictures of me ever. He has a ton of really young people in his studio telling him he is great. He is not. I went there to get a picture taken that was paid for by my company. Otherwise I would not have hired him because he made me uncomfortable. About me: I am a normal looking, smaller than average sized gal.
Some people think I'm pretty and that is flattering. Anyways. When I got the proofs back my blondish brown hair was red, I had a double chin, jowels, no neck, and a goiter. He somehow made me look heavier and broader, and boxier as well. None of these things make a lady feel beautiful. Definitely I can say I did not look like myself in the photos.
His "polishing process" as he calls it is really just smudging the lines and playing with colors and contrast. Somehow my porcelain skin ended up pink. My bosses skin came out as a strange hue of orange for one and also greyish for the other. I definitely do not recommend.

The quality and professionalism of the final product speaks volumes. We didn't want to cut corners on making a successful first impression. Rudy, Courtney and team are exceptional in the amount of care they gave our office, are responsive, highly efficient and a great pleasure to work with. We're very happy with the work they've done and we'll continue to work with them in the future.

I've worked with many photographers, but few if any are on Rudy's level. From his polished, gentle, professionalism to his service and staff, he truly is the quintessential professional photographer. We recently sat down to "talk shop, " and I was amazed by the level of detail he puts into his shoots. Nothing is accidental. Every detail, ever pixel matters.
If your organization or business seeks the best in the business - I would highly recommend the "Rudy Meyers experience." Without a doubt, he will impress you. And on top of all that, he's super likable.

I needed some photos for my paralegals for our company website so I contacted Rudy Meyers based on their outstanding reviews on Yelp. We worked with Courtney Hanson and she was very efficient and the photos turned out amazing! I also had some follow up questions with Courtney about the photos and she was quick to respond which was great. I would highly recommend Rudy Meyers if you are looking for portrait photos for your staff. The pricing was very reasonable and it was all done in a timely manner. Thank you! Michael

I'm so happy I called Rudy Meyers Photography for my corporate headshots. As a group of nationwide medical professionals, we needed the right look for our new website. Working with Rudy and his team was easy and we found his process to be very proficient. He is a true creative genius who takes great pride in producing the highest quality work.
His experience and professional knowledge is evident from the very first phone call all the way through to final delivery of the images. Sacramento is lucky to have a photographer of Rudy's caliber. He could easily relocate to New York or Los Angeles and probably double his rates. If you are looking for the best, then look no further! He and his staff have my highest recommendation.

Rudy is a consummate professional and artist. He understands that a headshot is more than just a properly exposed and focused picture. As a sole-proprietor/small business owner, my headshot is an important part of my marketing in that it communicates many subtleties such as friendliness, trustworthiness, and professionalism. Rudy works assiduously during a photo shoot to bring out those qualities in his clients.

I had two headshots done in the past two years by different photographers and wasn't happy with any of them. I found Rudy on Yelp and once I saw the photos on his website, I called him. He went out of his way to get me in quickly and I was so pleased with the results. He pays attention to every detail - all I had to do was follow what he and his team told me to do. They were all fabulous - thank you!

I could not be more thrilled with my pictures! I am a regional makeup artist for Lancome cosmetics and needed a headshot for posters and flyers to my events. I researched photographers in both Sacramento and San Fransisco before choosing Rudy Meyers Photography. Rudy and his entire team are true artists and professionals. They went above and beyond accommodating my crazy schedule and keeping me updated both before and after the shoot. He and his team made the day fun and comfortable while letting me and my personality shine through in my photos!

I live and work in Chico and I always try to keep my business local, but after spending a lot of time looking for a professional photographer that could produce the quality of business and corporate headshots I wanted it was obvious I had to travel to Sacramento, CA to work with Rudy Meyers and his staff. Rudy and his staff are pro's - the whole process from top to bottom was smooth an efficient. Even if you live out of the Sacramento area he is worth the drive!

Rudy is a total pro! It's a pleasure working with him and the results are FABULOUS! Sydney's makeup and attention during the shoot made a huge difference in the results. I just did whatever they said and the results speak for themselves. Trust Rudy with your work and you'll be surprised and delighted with the perfect results! Rita Gibson

We recently worked with Rudy and Kevin to do some food shots for both web and print. We are thrilled with the results and can't recommend them enough. We've been working with "roll-your-own" home photo images for the past couple of years and I cannot tell you how much better professionally photographed (and lit) products look - if you want to be taken seriously, you need quality images. Our new website says it, end of story. Great Team! Great Business Partner! Chef Russ
