Shannon is amazing. This was the fourth time she's photographed my family, and somehow her photos…read morejust keep getting better. Every session with her leaves us with images that end up in frames all over our house-- they're my favorites. She has such a gift for capturing moments that feel both beautiful and real. Nothing ever looks forced or staged-- instead, she finds those natural, joyful expressions and connections that really feel like us. Her color photos are so vibrant and full of life, while her black-and-white images feel timeless and emotional. What I especially love is that Shannon has been great for us at every age. She managed to get gorgeous photos even when my kids were 2 and 3 (and totally wild)-- and now that they're 11 and 12 and on the edge of being grumpy teens who hate posing for photos, she still manages to get amazing shots. Shannon captures wonderful group photos but also makes time for individual portraits of each of my girls, which I treasure-- and which always make holiday cards (and grandparent gifts) easy. On top of her artistry, Shannon knows all the magical spots in Marin with transformative backgrounds and can tell you the exact time to be there for perfect lighting. She's a true pro. Add to that her warm, easy presence that puts everyone at ease, and somehow she always draws out genuine smiles and laughter. I am so grateful for the memories Shannon has captured for us over the years. If you're looking for a photographer whose work you'll treasure forever, Shannon is the one.

We just moved to Sonoma county and I had been looking for a photographer to take our family photos…read morewhile my daughter is still an infant. I found Diana on yelp, and instantly loved her style. Her Instagram blew me away. She was very personable though the whole experience. Diana helped us choose the right colored outfits that would go well with the perfect location. She was very quick to respond with any questions or concerns I had. The evening of the actual shoot, she took care of us, providing anything we needed to stay comfortable, including a warm blanket for my baby (it was a lot chillier than we expected) The shoot was so much fun and Diana gave great direction. We just received our photos and they are more stunning than I expected. We also received a video that chokes me up every time I watch it. Diana is amazing at what she does, and I highly recommend her as your family photographer. (Her maternity shoots are breath taking)

I reached out to John for some help updating my default professional headshot, and really enjoyed…read morethe comprehensive experience he provided me. We went to 4 different outdoor spots around his studio with distinct backdrops, and for each one we iterated on poses and expressions, and he even picked up on some of my facial idiosyncracies in the process. We then went back into his studio and essentially conducted a realtime review session - viewing all the recently captured shots, flagging ones we liked, and ultimately discussing them until we settled on 2 winners. He then applied some minor edits within Lightroom and within 40 minutes from my initial arrival, I had 2 really sharp headshots which will serve me well for the next 5-7 years. John is incredibly personable and also immediately put me at ease. It is easy to feel stiff or self-concious during something like this, and he made it feel like a real partnership. Highly recommend him and his services. Plus the guy is just fun to chat with.

His studio is cozy and welcoming, and his wife, who was there during the shoot, was lovely and gracious. The two of them create an environment that immediately puts you at ease.

As I am working on my wedding photo book, I am constantly reminded what a wonderful photographer…read moreKen was. Ken was so easy to work with and throughout the entire wedding planning process he was very responsive and open to new ideas. My husband and I both really enjoyed our engagement photo shoot. Ken captured us with some amazing landscapes and a number of intimate moments. We never felt that our photos looked staged. Instead they seemed so natural and candid. Ken and I talked prior to the wedding via email and also on the phone to review the timeline. On our wedding day, everything went very smoothly. Ken captured so many beautiful moments of us and our families. Our family and guests commented they did not even notice he was there. He was great at capturing a variety of photos without being obtrusive at all. His personality is laid back making him so easy to work with and talk to. This is important for a bride who wants as little stress as possible. He even held my lip gloss for me ;) We absolutely love both our engagement photos and our wedding photos and are so happy with our decision to use Ken as our photographer. We highly recommend him! Thank you again Ken for everything! Love, Jen and John 6/1/2018

Ken is a one of a kind photographer who is a combination of a perfectionist, a friendly and warm…read morefamily man, and your best friend. He seriously has the uncanny ability to draw out raw emotions among couples, help calm down the bride on the day-of, and capture the most special moments on camera while remaining a fly on the wall. Seriously, we didn't even know he was there half the time! We got married last weekend at Auberge du Soleil in Rutherford and Ken came highly recommended to us by our Wedding Coordinator, Sara Lindenbaum. She mentioned that he's a veteran photographer at Auberge and knows all the angles like the back of his palm. We had Ken photograph our entire wedding day at Auberge as well as our rehearsal celebration the night before at a beautiful Airbnb property that we rented. And we also worked with Ken before this past weekend when he took incredible engagement photos for us in Mill Valley and Sausalito. Taking both wedding and engagement photos can be an awkward experience but Ken made it absolutely fun and such a delight. He's a true perfectionist and will literally do anything to get the perfect shot in the perfect light in the perfect angle -- I certainly can't complain about that as a picky bride! While I started to get really nervous while getting ready in the bridal suite with my lovely bridesmaids and mom, Ken's calm energy and contagiously happy personality truly helped put me at ease. He's just such a nice person and an absolute pleasure to work with. Even our guests were so impressed with how sweet and professional Ken was and a number of them actually requested Ken's contact info for their own future weddings and events. My husband (eek it's official!) and I wholeheartedly recommend Ken for all of your photography needs and I'm sure we'll purposely seek out random reasons to work with Ken again in the future! Thank you so much for everything, Ken!
