Angie is a natural with pets; during the photo shoot, she had even the shyest of our three cats at ease and having fun. And her photos are absolutely fabulous. Angie did incredible wall portraits which captured the individual personalities of our cats. And the album Angie prepared not only had beautiful photos, but also was beautifully laid out, capturing our cats' actions and stories. Everything Angie did was way beyond expectations and we cannot recommend her highly enough.

Before you book, know that:…read more 1. This business requires a $100 deposit for booking a session. 2. You only have 3 days WITHIN BOOKING to cancel the appointment in order to receive a refund. 3. It does not matter if you booked an appointment two months away, and you cancel a month in advance - you will NOT get a refund if you do not cancel WITHIN 3 days of booking the appointment. --- I found this studio via Instagram ads, boasting a free session for Bay Area locals. I signed up, we had a phone call, and I was informed that the session was free but the photos were not. So basically, you can book the session and they will take the photos, but if you want to take your photos home, you have to buy a photo package (starting at $750+). What a clever way to hook people in... advertise a free session, then charge people for the photos, since technically they're not charging to take the photos of you - just for you to take them home. Foolishly, I booked the appointment anyway and paid the $100 deposit fee for an appointment set in September. I received a confirmation of the appointment and (doubly foolishly) did not notice the explicit statement that there is only a three day window from the time of booking in order to cancel and receive a refund of the deposit. This was in July. It is August now - well in advance of the appointment - and I realize I have to cancel. Of course I receive an email letting me know that I will not receive a refund. This is upsetting, but in all fairness, the cancellation policy was provided with the confirmation (I checked). So all of this is to say: BE PREPARED AND UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE AGREEING TO before you decide to book with this studio. **Furthermore, you will not find this business listed on the Better Business Bureau's website.

What may not be obvious as you browse her galleries is the compassion, kindness, patience and humor that makes her a pleasure to work with. From the moment she met my dogs, they had a bond. She intuitively knew how to bring out their personalities and capture their souls. When my boy, Ripely, was nearing the end she captured the most silly and handsome smile that now lights up our wall. Separately, she worked wonders and created a stunning silhouette for our Christmas card pictures as well as designed the back. Her creativity and experience produced a holiday card that prompted an abundance of compliments. Barbara consistently exceeds my expectations and deserves a 5+ star review!

Each day I witnessed Peggy Sue gaining confidence while playing with older dogs (her tail is pointing upward) and was captured kissing a Rottie while on a walk her last day. Peggy Sue enjoyed her time with Emma and family so much so I plan to continue with a 1x/week visit to keep up the socialization. I will definitely use Emma whenever needing doggie day care and overnight care. I also learned Emma is a skilled dog trainer and plan to explore her services since it is obvious Peggy Sue responds so well to Emma's loving care. Thank you Emma for taking such great care of our little girl!

What a stellar show +'s: + Dogs love her. Talented photographers tease something out of their subjects to capture on film. Ellen did just that and wow! My senior dog (10 yrs) and teen dog (2 yrs) had different personalities. Both responded to Ellen. My dogs looked into the camera and forgot all about Mom. It was all about Ellen and her camera! + Mindful. My senior dog had eye issues and Ellen was mindful of the flash. Thankfully we had no issues but I am glad she had remembered. + Professional and clear process. We had a consult before the studio session. During the session she let the dogs run around on set before settling down for the actual shoot. After the shoot we took a break and got to see the proofs. + Patient. Ellen allowed me to ponder on my proofs. The task was challenging since I was on a budget but didn't want to lose special moments. She helped me navigate through all the proofs to find the ones I wanted. We followed up with a zoom call to finalize layouts and choices. + Instinctive. We tried posing with my girls on a sofa. The girls were not comfortable and I perhaps looked stiff. Ellen picked up on it and said let's move on. + Natural artistic vision. I had selected many for print but Ellen helped me select the right sizing and layout for my walls. Also what is key is finding the right photos for the layout. Her art studies came into play and this proved key. + Flexible and a listener. If I had concerns, Ellen heard me out whether through email, text, or phone. She actively resolved anything. Overall I am beyond pleased with the photos for my girls! I am completely thrilled with the final product. The richness of the prints and the quality of the work are worth the memories I now have on my walls. What a pleasure it is to have the work generate warm happy thoughts when either guests or I see them! Essentially I have not only captured priceless moments of my dogs but also showcased some real art in my home! Thanks Ellen!!!

She clearly adores animals and treated my Emma with the finest, most loving touch. At first, I was unsure about making this kind of investment but something in me said "go for it." I am so glad I did. You see, our shoot was April and three months later my beloved Emma was diagnosed with a very rare and aggressive form of mammary cancer. She likely won't make it to Thanksgiving. That shoot with Ellen was one something that I'll always cherish. The artwork means even more now. Our time with our babies are never long enough. Do all the things, make all the memories. Take all the photos. You won't regret it. Thanks Ellen. Emma and I are so greatdul for your kindness and love.

Her kind nature and encouragement during the shoot made me relax and enjoy the process. I actually HAD FUN!! I researched hundreds of local photographers around Napa and beyond, and I choose Angie. I LOVED her style and what she does! After our phone consult, I was immediately ready to book because I KNEW she was my woman! The headshots I already had were boring, they did not capture who I am and I wanted photos that relayed my personality, and she absolutely DID! I'm really excited to get these beautiful photos out via business cards and social media to grow my real estate business. They really capture my personality - and are so DISTINCTIVE! Angie also talked me into taking some shots 'just in case' in an outfit I had brought for the shoot but didn't really "love." The shots taken in that outfit were actually my favorite!!! And the outfit I thought was going to be my favorite didn't work out so well - Angie had predicted that too! The best parts of our time together are the AMAZING PHOTOS - and meeting Angie! If you're considering getting new headshots and personal branding photos done, DO IT! This was the best investment I've made in myself! The whole experience was motivating! Just take the time to explain what you're goals are, be clear, and trust Angie. She knows what she's doing! She has a great eye for angles, setting, and a clear but fun way of directing you. The photos Angie took are honestly the best I've had taken in my LIFE - and I'm 62!!

At the start, we were unsure of how to convey what we do - provide incredible sailing adventures to small and intimate groups - and how this fantastic lifestyle could be translated into photos. Well, we nailed it! The photos Angie Capri took are so full of life, and just the spirit we wanted to convey through our marketing and advertising. We had a lot of moving pieces (literally) and people. She was very good at keeping us all organized and on track, without making it feel "staged". The whole experience felt super authentic. Angie made everyone feel welcome and comfortable. The whole group felt relaxed and free to just be themselves! I love all of the fun we all had. There was definitely never a dull moment. She was a fantastic director! Angie will make the whole experience a blast! She is professional, focused, and incredibly fun (even while battling motion sickness too!). We are beyond thrilled with our new and improved brand image. We started sharing our new photos online immediately, and can't wait to begin updating our printed marketing materials too!
