Marci took the most beautiful photos of me and my fiancée!  She is a genuine person and was so nice…read moreto communicate with. We had a multi-part itinerary visiting multiple lakes in the Mount Hood area.  We were blessed with clear skies and a fresh coat of snow at Trillium Lake that day, making for a stunning background.  Marci has a great eye for finding spots along with the right backgrounds, color contrasts, etc. and using a wide variety of poses and angles.  I think we even went over time, but she was so passionate about enjoying nature and her craft that she insisted we go to one more destination.  We ended up with a bonus shot under a waterfall! The shots turned out beautifully as well, both source and processing (+according to my fiancée who has high standards for this).  Marci sends both a complete USB and physical prints of her pictures, giving the best of both worlds.  We used several of the prints at our wedding.  I can't recommend her more highly.

We've had Marci do our family photos on two occasions now, and let me say - she gets it DONE…read more First, we don't have the average demands of a photographer. We live on a farm with two rambunctious boys, and we need pictures of everything living. Marci shows up wearing jeans and a smile (always), and takes a few minutes to look around, check the setting and lighting and then she explains how this is going to go down. She also makes it fun for the kids (because if you have young children, you know how challenging it can be to get everyone to buy in). After our first shoot, our cows were ready to carry her bags home for her, and by the end of our last session our oldest (4 years) was ready to be her understudy. If you need a fun, experienced photographer who captures *beautiful* moments with your family or animals, we highly recommend her.

Working with Chris on our wedding and engagement photos was a blast. He couldn't be nicer, is…read morealways smiling, and gets great shots surprisingly quickly. His style is artistic/journalistic in that he captures candid, well-composed shots but will also suggest that you adjust your body so you don't look completely awkward. My sister's wedding photographer wouldn't do that, and we ended up looking pretty awkward in a few shots (e.g., necks stretched, hands in weird places). His turn around time was AMAZING- we had our digital images in a couple of weeks. Many photographers guarantee your digital photos within the YEAR but quicker if you buy very expensive prints/albums from them. Chris is an honest businessman AND a talented artist. Even more, he's a pleasure to be around, and that goes a long way in the stressful hustle and bustle of your wedding day.

I've known Chris for over ten years, and when we got engaged one of the easiest decisions we had…read morewas who our wedding photographer would be. His natural talent at capturing emotion and light, and his ability to blend into your wedding party like a photo-ninja, will provide you with beautiful memories that will last a lifetime.

You know when you want to leave more than just 5 stars and say that someone should earn 1000% for a…read morereview? Well that is how I feel about Amanda and our experience with her shooting our family photos. I was referred to Amanda because her peers felt that her skills are extra highlighted when it comes to a family shoot. Family shoots come with the territory of little children, messes, crying, not happy campers and potentially having up to like 18 people in one group. My first phone conversation with Amanda made me feel like I have known her for years and that it was going to be just another normal shoot. Except no I have never met this fantastic lady and no she did not know what she was getting her self into when I asked if my extended family was okay to bring to our small family shoot. When we got to our location I was welcomed with a hug and huge smile like we were old friends meeting up for coffee. That is the experience and customer service you get with this photographer. She made our little boy laugh with her silly faces, jumps in the air and her conversation at eye level. Qualities that any mom would look for when realizing she just wants a few perfect pictures of their little one. We never once felt rushed, against the clock or that she wouldn't hear our ideas for pictures. Amanda was quick to getting our family albums back to us with constant communication of what her status was. Once I received our album, I saved about 180 of the images just on my phone because each one was PERFECTION!! I was so happy that I was referred to Amanda because I have found our family photographer for life and I can't wait for the next session! If you decide to pick Amanda, you won't be disappointed and if you don't pick her well than you just missed out not only on great quality work but an amazing friendship with one of the sweetest photographers I've ever met!!!

I didn't hire Sharon at Simply Design Studios, I came across her out doing her thing at a park in…read moreLincoln City. She was doing Senior Photos for a teen graduating this year. She and her team were friendly, and professional all at the same time. It was apparent that the young lady that the team was photographing was having a great time. The photographer and her two team members absolutely worked seamlessly around the kids in the park without disturbing anyone. The best part is this: My 4-year-old granddaughter was enamored with the process! She would walk up and sit next to the teen that was getting her pictures taken, and Sharon handled it like a pro. Every time I turned my head, there she was over there again asking more questions, getting in the way, and be treated so sweetly by the team the teen and the photographer! Sharon finally asked if it was alright if she took Millie's photo, and I agreed, and Millie BEAMED! Millie took a couple of pictures with the teen that had hired the photographer, with the permission of the teen and me. Sharon said she'd send me the photos for free. So I haven't hired her, but she's clearly all-star and an asset to her community she also works great with teens and hyper 4-year-olds :D. I haven't seen the photo yet, so I can't speak to the quality of the photo, but I CAN say she probably took 100 different poses during the shoot with the teen while I was in the park, and I left before she did.
