She is so easy to be around, and i truly believe that was the main reason why our photos turned out so natural and lovely! We had my older parents, young kids and a baby in this family shoot and she made sure the shooting spots were easy to access for my dad who has issues walking. She pays attention to details, scouts for good shooting spots ahead of our shoot, loves kids and is such a dream to be around! We arent always the most natural before the camera, yet the photos turned out to be SO GOOOOOOD. The kids and our baby love her! Athena, thank you so much for all that you do! You'll be on our speed dial for any future photoshoots! The best place to reach her is through her website and not on yelp. You're welcome!:P

She is grounded and natural and funny and puts you completely at ease in order to provide the photograph you'll love! She was recommended to me - I highly recommend her to you! Dale Smith

I set up a branding session for my business with Joy not really thinking much about it. I figured a…read morebranding session was just about photos and creating an image, little did I know the depths of the conversations we would have. Joy is not just her name; it is what she brings to the table when you meet with her. The passion she has behind the camera is just the end of an amazing expedition when you choose to do a branding session with Joy at Winding Road. I would recommend any business that feels they might need a little light in their tunnel give Joy at call and experience what my wife and I did for our business. Just be prepared, the journey is amazing!

She is open to any idea, whether that is setting you up in her well-lit, magical studio in downtown Grass Valley, with snacks and drinks or driving to some far off location to realize your photoshoot dream.

Her turn-around time on the photos is fast and she helps you every step of the way, until you are looking at the faces you love, beautifully displayed on your wall.

We used Eye of Laksmi Photography for both our wedding photos and our engagement photos. She is an…read moreabsolutely amazing photographer and I cannot recommend her enough. Besides the fact that she takes beautiful photos, she is also a pleasure to work with and certainly knows what she's doing! She gave us everything we wanted, plus more! I knew I loved her photography, work style and professionalism after our engagement photos, but she really went above and beyond at the wedding. When some things didn't go quite as planned at the wedding (unrelated to photography), she was a soothing presence and kept me calm. She is a calm, gentle and peaceful presence, while also efficiently directing shoots, keeping on schedule and getting all of the pictures that we requested - plus some really great extra ones that we hadn't even thought of. I couldn't even figure out how she got some of the pictures because it almost seemed like she had to be in two places at once to get them - she must have been running all over the place! Of all of our vendors, she was our absolute favorite and even our guests had wonderful things to say about her. We got our pictures back quickly and were thrilled with them. Not only did she get every photo requested, but she really captured the feeling we wanted with our photos. I would give her so many more stars if I could. If you need a wedding photographer, I HIGHLY recommend Eye of Laksmi Photography.

The one thing we would recommend would be listing out and confirming groupings and pairings with the photographers for family/bridal portraits, especially for bigger families. We felt that we missed out on some opportunities to capture specific groupings of family and bridal party which turned out to be a bit of a bummer. We would highly recommend Melanie and Andrew to anyone in the Grass Valley area.

We booked Angie for our small King's Beach wedding at North Tahoe Event Center on Sept. 17, 2026…read more My husband and I loved their style and the fact that they are capable of also officiating (although our family friend actually officiated, so we only needed their photography services!) We opted for their "Mountain Collection," package. This was 6 hours, photos-only, "Intentional photography coverage with thoughtful support and timeless imagery" as described on their website. Angie truly went above and beyond for us and rolled with the punches the day of our wedding. She jumped right in and lent an extra hand to help my mother safety pin the back of my wedding dress, and even flawlessly photographed my husband's chilly impromptu night run into Lake Tahoe (even with little to no light) with his brothers during our wedding. Angie is absolutely unflappable in nature, and captured every single moment - even the surprises - beautifully. My husband and I were thrilled when we received our sneak peek gallery the next day before we even went out for dinner. It was the perfect mix of photos from each piece of our wedding timeline, and just enough to show people before we received the rest of the gallery a few weeks later. The photos were 100% perfect, even the candid shot of my husband picking me up after one of the poses which could have possibly become an up-skirt shot by a less tactful photographer! Its quite rare for me to say that there were zero bad pictures, but we really did not receive even one bad picture. Angie is an absolute joy to be around and I can see that she loves what she's doing. We highly recommend Mindful Media!

We booked Angie and Lee for our wedding, let me say, we are so beyond impressed with the level of…read moreprofessionalism. But also they were both so personable, kind, and truly fun to work with. We started off with a "trial run" of sorts, we hired Angie and Lee for our wedding but then also booked an engagement shoot. During that engagement shoot with Angie, she made us feel comfortable and confident as she was able to direct us through poses while also just talking to us as if we were already friends. She gave us back our gallery so quickly and it was so romantic and cinematic. I have NEVER felt prettier (or so I thought) Come our wedding we got to meet Lee, her husband and videographer, Lee was just the same! I truly enjoyed his humor throughout the day and it was so endearing to see Angie and Lee work together. They are truly and impeccable pair, as the seamlessly communicated and worked around and with each other to get their own shots. They then provided a sneak peak, SO QUICKLY, and the photos were STUNNING. I thought I felt pretty at our engagement shoot, it doesn't compare to the wedding photos!! They capture just the right angles and all those small moments. I am awaiting on my full gallery and video, however, I have full trust it will be spectacular!! I truly think a standout piece of our special day was the magic that our vendors brought. Angie and Lee were so fun to work with. They truly brought the vibes and enthusiasm that calmed my every nerve. I can't rave about them enough. Thank you both so much!

Not with our photographer! Carrie and her team showed up ready to crush it and had planned for every eventuality. Throughout the day they were able to loosen up the wedding party, capture amazing candids, make everyone look good, and simply put - she gave us the most amazing pictures of our big day. I could not be happier with how Carrie and her team captured the amazing memories of our wedding day. Simply put, if you contact Carrie and she is already booked the date of your wedding... reschedule.

There was no long wait before the photos were taken. She knew exactly what she was doing and that made the whole experience a joy. I especially liked her sense of humor, as she showed her "ninja" skills, laying on the ground, hiding in the bushes, and doing whatever it took to pull off the best pictures. She went to the property ahead of time to get the lay of the land, and found the best spots and made every moment count. I especially loved her creativity in getting some interesting angles of the hillside and even outside the property on the main road, where many of our most beautiful pictures were taken. She is an artist and her work speaks for itself. We have so many beautiful ones, it is going to be hard to pick which ones to frame! Thanks, Carrie! We are so glad we got to work with you! And for those out there that are interested - please check out her pictures on her website. You can get a sense very quickly for her quality.
