I got a set of portrait photos by Shadi, and I'm very happy with the quality. She made the entire experience enjoyable. I met her at her studio, with a couple outfit changes, and she was very attuned to taking pictures that captured my best possible looks and expressions. Her test poses and shots were kept to a minimum, just enough for her to understand how to pose me. I think that's where her professionalism and experience really comes through, is her consideration for her subject. The more I look at the shots, the more I realize that these are some of the best pictures of me up to this point in time. I would work with her again without hestiation the next time I have need of some serious portrait work. read more

Work of art! Great combination of creativity, passion and photography skills. Professional, personable and highly recommended. The experience has left me smiling and every time I look at the pictures I continue to have wonderful memories of that day. Thank you Shadi. read more

Wow! I could not believe my eyes when I saw my pictures. Shadi is by far the best photographer I have ever seen and worked with. Her fantastic vision, perfect attitude, and great knowledge of posing and lightings creates the best images and pictures of you. I'm so amazed with the outcome of my personal photos that I'm having Shadi Ameri Photography come to my business and do professional business photo shoots for advertisement and marking of my office. read more

I hired Shadi for a photo shoot. She was very friendly and informative during our initial call and even gave me advice on the outfits to bring. I had never done a photo shoot before and was really nervous at the beginning. Shadi is very easy to talk to which really helped me get comfortable being in front of the camera. At first we started with indoor shots and then drove out to this beautiful park for some outdoor portraits. Throughout the entire photo shoot Shadi was really helpful in getting me in the right poses that looked best for me. When the photos were ready for review, we met and I got to see the prints. I loved them. I selected the photos I wanted and the prints were given to me in this beautiful box and the photos were emailed to me for downloading. My mom loved the prints and she hung them around her home. Shadi is an awesome photographer. She was professional, very kind and attentive throughout each step in the process. I would definitely recommend her for anyone looking for a photographer. read more

My review is long overdue, however it's never too late. I hired Shadi for my wedding photography, and I am very happy with my decision. Knowing that it's only one day in your life it's a huge responsibility to take on and Shadi gracefully took it. She was professional and very kind and attentive during the day. Knowing how stressed I was she suggested poses or even asked for my opinion about how I would like it. Not many photographers took upon themselves to hear let alone ask for suggestions. Shadi didn't take long to get the pictures to me. And she was again very friendly and professional in asking if I liked them or if I wanted to change anything about it. I only had to ask her to change one of my pictures for me just because I didn't like the way my eyes looked like, she had no problem with fixing it! For people who want good quality, professional and economical photographer for their big day I suggest Shadi. She is remarkable and I wish her all the best and success in the future. read more

This review is long overdue and honestly what I write here will probably not do Shadi's work justice. I have shot with many photographers, including Shadi a few times, and I must say after my session/photos with Shadi I have never looked for another photographer nor recommend another one to my family and friends. Shadi has mastered the art of photography! She has an eye for detail/angles and will capture moments that you have a hard time believing is real. You can see the passion in her eyes and in the way she approaches her work. She's a professional and will put in the effort to make this as an amazing experience for you as it is for her! You will truly be amazed with your photos, I genuinely loved every single shot that she took of me. Not to mention, she so fun to be around! :) that's always an added bonus in every person you hire. She will make you feel at ease, she's super friendly and you will have overall postivie experience. I HIGHLY recommend Shadi, she will exceed your expectations on every level! p.s. you know someone is a great photographer when you hand them your cell phone to take a picture of you and it turns out to be the one of the best photos you've ever taken! I am not kidding, this really happened. Thank you Shadi for always giving me a great experience and top notch photos!! :) read more

Shadi is not the cheapest photographer in SD. However, she is worth EVERY PENNY. My jaw dropped when I saw my boudoir photos! Bonus: she made every effort to make me feel right at home hanging out with her in a fancy hotel room in my skivvies! It turned out to be an empowering and FUN experience! Thanks, Shadi! I will definitely hire you again! read more

Shadi is by far the best professional photographer I have worked with. She has a unique vision that she brings to life with her photography skills. I am SO PLEASED with the pictures she captured. I absolutely enjoyed working with her and would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone for any kind of photography needs. read more

Shadi took my babyshower photos and the final product was phenomenal!! She was such a sweetheart and it was truly a pleasure to have such a kind and professional person capturing the special moments at our event. She was being tugged around by various people at the event to take pictures and always was so accommodating to everyone. She got the final edited photos back to me quickly and I couldn't be more pleased with the final result. I absolutely recommend this photographer and will be using her again in the future! read more

Shadi Ameri Photography took family photos of us at the beach and they came out better than we could have expected. We had decided that we wanted a beach setting and she helped us set up some really great shots of the kids, of my husband and I and of all of us together. I would highly recommend Shadi for your next photo shoot. She is professional, smart and really good at what she does. read more

An absolutely SENSATIONAL experience working with Shadi. She is a true artist and master of her work. Emphasis on Artist! She takes photos to a whole other level. I am a photographer myself and I've never had so much fun in working with a photographer as I did with Shadi. The photos were just beyond anything I could have imagined. read more

Working with Shadi has been a pleasure. Shadi is artistic, patient and very professional.

Shadi was a wonderful addition to my team being a photography intern. She was very personable with my clients, and a joy to be around. Plus her work was very detailed, and she has a passion for what she does. I highly recommend hiring her! read more

I had a destination wedding in La Jolla a month ago and Shadi was our photographer. She's an impressive, professional photographer who did an outstanding job capturing our special day. I shopped around for a photographer (reviews, portfolios, costs, experience, etc) for about four months and Shadi was our #1 pick. All our communication was through email and I was impressed with her quick response time. I sent her all my ideas and she was able to capture all the shots that I had requested. Our pictures were returned to us in a timely manner and her passion for photography was definitely exemplified through our awe-inspiring pictures! Thank you for sharing our special day with us Shadi, you and your mom will forever be remembered! read more

5 star review without hesitation. Very professional and highly creative. She has a great eye but she is also open to suggestions. Had a blast working with her. read more

Shadi is AMAZING!!! I was in need of professional headshots and graduation pictures with only a 2 week window to have the photoshoot. I decided to contact Shadi after she was recommended to me by a friend. I sent her a detailed email explaining what I wanted for my shoot and within a day or two she followed up via phone and email. During our consultation, I provided her with examples of the poses/style I wanted to shoot and she thoroughly explained the services and photo packages she provided. My ultimate concern was pricing but Shadi had a package within my budget. The photoshoot session was fun and went smoothly. Shadi made sure I was relaxed and comfortable. She provided instruction for posing during the shoot and made sure to take pictures in the poses I requested. At the beginning of the shoot I mentioned I have curly hair and never wear it straight and was concerned about my hair cooperating during the shoot. Shadi gave me a heads up when my hair was starting to frizz or was out of place. The fact that she actually cared to be aware of my hair meant a great deal to me. The proofs from the shoot were available less than a week after the shoot day. Shadi took soooo many great pictures during the session that it was hard to narrow them down for my package. I can't wait to get my edited photos back! You cannot go wrong with Shadi. She is professional, talented, personable and takes great pictures. I will definitely keep her in mind for future photography needs. read more

Shadi's skills in catching the right light and right moment we're spot on! She was throughly prepared with poses and locations within balboa park where we had our engagement shoot. She was also unbothered by the amount of traffic passing through just about every spot she shot us and kept a very professional attitude. My fiancé and I were very impressed with her abilities. The pictures came out just as magical as the moments she caught. Highly recommended photography. read more
