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!

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.

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.
