I met Debi through a friend and ended up visiting her art studio in San Francisco. I was…read moreimmediately inspired by her pencil portrait work, so I decided to ask if I could commission a drawing made for my adorable grandparents. I had a nice photo that was taken of them many years ago, and Debi truly brought it to life. I couldn't believe how realistic the portraits were when she was done. It captured them so well, and was more life-like than the original photo. It's so nicely detailed, with a sparkle in their eyes - I absolutely love it. Every time I see this illustration hanging in their den it makes me happy I went to Debi's studio that day, because it inspired a unique gift that surprised my whole family for Christmas and immortalized the people I care about the most.

My wife absolutely loves it and got tears in her eyes when she first saw it. It was a black and white oil painting, her first of this particular style. Deb is not only excellent at her skill; she is extremely efficient and was a JOY to work with when discussing the commission. This portrait will be something my wife and I will treasure forever. Thank you, Deb!

Michelle showed up and put in work like I have never seen before. I would absolutely not recommend putting anybody through that sort of pressure, but Michelle did an absolutely fantastic job. Not once did she show even a smidge of frustration or dissatisfaction with what was being asked of her. Her professionalism and skill are outstanding. Her photography is on point, as well. I have nothing but words of praise for her work. I look forward to working with her sometime in the future again!

Can't say enough about my experience working with Chris to get headshots. Chris made me feel…read moreextremely comfortable (which is quite the accomplishment as I am very awkward when being photographed), asked questions about my objectives for the shoot, and managed to capture a photo that is authentically me!

Chris is an absolute gem of a photographer--and person. From the moment we met, he was incredibly…read morekind and welcoming, and made me feel completely at ease. I've never considered myself very photogenic, but he coached me through poses and angles so naturally that I actually enjoyed being in front of the camera. He adjusted lighting and setup throughout the session to give me a wide range of beautiful shots, and the final headshot photos truly exceeded my expectations. The turnaround time was also incredibly fast. I highly recommend working with Chris, because you'll feel comfortable, confident, and come away with photos you love!

I had won a contest over Instagram for my pup. The Richmond is a little far off from home but we…read morethought the trip would be worth it to get photos of my little guy. Cyndi was nice. She was great with my little guy. The studio was clean and well organized. Now the rub. After the photo shoot we received the samples with watermarks and no-edits, and offered to pay for just the digital copies of the photo which seemed like a reasonable request. However, she said she would only release them if we purchased the entire package (like $3.5-4k. There's no pricing on website and price only disclosed after the complimentary photoshoot on some website link) for 30+ photos and even if she sold us the digital photos, it would still cost the same. Are you kidding me? For my wedding in 2023, we had 2 photographers and videographer, for over 5 hours, and that price tag didn't add up. Seemed a little shady to get you in the door and upsell you at a RIDICILOUS rate. Kind of a waste of time. We just opted for the "complimentary" 5x7 photo which still took like 4 months to obtain and we had to pay for shipping.

Cyndi is great! We saw a promotion for mother/son photos online, and booked a session with her for…read morethe whole family. I have toddler twins, and getting a photo with all of us looking at the camera and smiling is a huge challenge. Cyndi was great with my kids--attentive and playful while snapping away, and quick to shift gears when their attention/mood changed. I was absolutely blown away when she showed us the photos--they were great and we ended up using a few for our Christmas card. Got a ton of compliments on the photos, and we'll be framing a few for the grandparents too! Highly recommend Cyndi--she does amazing work!

Nicole photographed our elopement at the SF Botanical Garden and we couldn't have been happier!…read more She really maximized her time with us to get amazing photos all around the garden, but not once did we ever feel rushed. She guided us through where to be and what to do to capture the perfect shot so we could just focus on ourselves and our day. We absolutely loved the photos that Nicole took. They are etched in her style which drew us to Nicole in the first place, yet she also somehow managed to make them feel personal to us and one of a kind. I especially loved how she managed to capture all the little moments from our ceremony. We look at her photos often (we're not that vain, they're just that good) and it feels like we're there again. Book her, you won't regret it.
