Such an amazing experience and photos with Sumico!Posted on Google Quynh17 May 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a talented and professional photographer! I had the opportunity to work behind the scene of a professional photoshoot and it was such a great experience. Sumico’s attention to detail was absolutely on point and she made the whole shoot run smoothly. She was friendly, fun, and explained everything clearly throughout the session. She guided the model through different poses with ease and helped adjust all the little details like hair, posture, and angles to capture the perfect shot. You can really tell she cares about the final result and making everyone feel comfortable and confident.Posted on Google Nicole27 April 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I had the best experience with Sumiko for my branding shoot. Most people claim to be not photogenic and i’m one of them but I was done up elegantly with professional hair & makeup , photographed under the guidance of Sumi who is so lighthearted, funny but h professional. I felt so relaxed and had so much fun. I highly recommend Sumiko PhotographyPosted on Google Vera20 April 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had my first ever photoshoot with Sumico and it was incredible. I felt so confident in front of the camera under her guidance, and the whole session was felt so fun and warm. Sumico is a true professional and I would definitely come back, as well as recommend her to anyone who wants professional photos on another level!Posted on Google Birgitta19 April 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the pleasure of doing a photoshoot with Sumico recently. We went all in from glamour to branding to personal, even my dog was included. It was such a fun experience. Sumico not only makes you feel at ease, she also captures every aspect of your personality and she takes the time to make you shine. Whether you are looking for professional shots or capture a precious moment, I highly recommend Sumico, she is a true gem.Posted on Google Sandy16 April 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What an incredible experience with Sumi at Sumico Photography! I went in feeling nervous to the point of almost cancelling, but I walked out feeling lighter and happier. I laughed, I danced, and I genuinely had fun. Sumi made me feel completely at ease and captured the real me. A memorable, uplifting session that I’d highly recommend!Posted on Google Felisa1 April 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve personally used Sumico Photography for my business (Create Packs Australia) portraits and portfolio — and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. Her eye for detail, her artistry, and the way she captures authenticity is truly world‑class. I’m sharing this to pay it forward… because when you find someone this talented, you want others to experience it too. 😍🫶 There are moments in life that deserve more than a photograph… They deserve to be immortalised. I highly reccommend Sumiko Photography Felisa Moffat Create Packs Australia - FounderPosted on Google Dinaaz31 March 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. There are people who think they are photographers because they own a fancy camera. And then there is the one and only Sumi, who has an eye for making every shot tell a story. Let me be upfront—having my photo taken is usually just as painful as having a tooth pulled. But I was lucky enough to have a session with Sumi. She guided me through every shot with calm confidence: “Stand here. Put your hip slightly to the left. Place your hand here.” You get the idea. The result? A beautiful portfolio of images that I am genuinely proud of and absolutely love. I highly recommend Sumi to anyone who wants more than just photos—she creates lasting memories of your special moments.
