one of our engagement photos from Simply Design Studios
LaTosha S.

I heard about Sharon, at Simply Design Studios, through a friend who had posted a Facebook message about a Wedding Photo Package Contest. Sharon was giving away a very generous FREE Wedding package to one lucky bride and groom. We, however did not win that contest, but lucky for us Sharon loved our story, and wanted to offer us something still. We won a free engagement photo shoot on location of our choice, and a discounted wedding package of our choice. After seeing her work, and potential, we decided to book Sharon as our Wedding photographer. She invited us to her Studio, which is located in her welcoming home. She went over her contract IN DETAIL, and allowed us to question anything we did not understand. Everything was basic and straight forward. She showed us more of her work, at our request. We liked what we saw, and told her which things we did not prefer. She was very open to suggestion, and eager to find out more about US and what WE liked. (Certain photography styles aren't for everyone.) She listened, took note, and even asked me to send her photos of other styles I liked, so that she could get a feel for my taste. I sent her examples of styles I liked from other photographers. I noticed that in her next photo shoot of a bride and groom, she was already starting to capture the style I was looking for. She really took on the task, and was not afraid to reinvent her style, or try new technique to please her customer. When we signed our contract in 9/2010, I liked her work...but now it's only 5 months later, and I LOVE her work. We finally got around to making time to schedule our engagement shoot. Sharon was patient and understanding when I tried to push the date out as far as possible so that I could lose a few more pounds before our session. Then, when I realized that we were running out of time, and had to send our save the dates ASAP, she was helpful in booking our shoot quickly. We took our photos at the Nut Tree in Vacaville, which may sound cheesy, but they had a lot for Sharon to work with. She has a great eye for creative photo opportunities. She let us, be "us", and we had a great time! Nothing felt too posed or staged. We were comfortable, and it really came across when we received our photos...which I might add, we took our photos on a Sunday, and she had them to us by Friday! There were a couple of minor flaws that I noticed right away when she posted some of our photos (they were our fault not hers) Such as the fake flowers I brought for props had a REALLY long stem, which I thought was ugly-Sharon edited the stem on my request within literally minutes of posting the photos. She also went above and beyond and hand delivered them to my home, since she was in the area for another shoot that day. I did not know of Sharon, or Simply Design Studios, before this contest, but I am so very glad we found out about her. She is professional, kind, efficient, personable, creative, and affordable! I would recommend her to anyone in need of any type of photography for any event. I can't wait to see what she will do with the photos from our special day.

Thank you or capturing my lil one's first few days of life!

I just had to add another 5 stars for Simply Design Studios. Sharon did a photo shoot for my first born when he was just 12 days old...(which now he's still only 25 days old) After taking horrific quality photos with my phone for the first 11 days of his life and being sooo proud...hahaha...I was speechless when I saw the shots that Sharon took, I almost cried I loved them so much. Well I added a couple to this yelp post, so you can see for yourself... She had wonderful props for newborns and she was so gentle with him and knew how to soothe him and make him feel comfortable. My only regret was I wish I would've brought him in sooner...he's a squirmy and very alert newborn =) The first week would've been great because he would've been sleepier! Even so, these pictures came out sooo great...I'll save space for other fans to post their pictures and I wont post the other 9 shots that are my favorites ;) oh..and my other regret...not putting on his diaper fast enough to catch the explosive 'shart' that decorated her floor ;) hahaha! good times... thank you again, Sharon, for delivering exquisite service and quality photos! I'm sure you'll hear from a few of my friends and family that have asked me for your contact info ;)

For those of you that don't want to read a lengthy review just do yourself a favor and hire…read moreShannon. You will have an amazing time and the end result will be better than you could imagine. For those that want to know why I'm saying this...read on. I hired Shannon to take my maternity photos for my second little one. I wanted something outdoors this time and thought the coast would be perfect. I contacted Shannon and from the very first email, she was so friendly, professional, upbeat and personable. I emailed her no short of 20 times to ask opinions on outfits, locations, dates/times and she responded promptly and with enthusiasm every time! She made sure I felt important which was nice. Flash forward to the day of my shoot, I decided to opt for hair and makeup by the person she recommends, Sarah Bradshaw. I am very hesitant about getting my makeup done because I am picky and don't want to be disappointed. I sent a photo over of the look I wanted and Sarah nailed it. She did such an amazing job!! She made me feel beautiful and is extremely talented. She is also super sweet and down to Earth, which made the entire experience fun. Shannon was also there for the entire "getting ready" portion to chit chat and get to know me which was awesome. Shannon definitely scouts out the best places for the photos and spent way over the average amount of time shooting my photos to ensure we captured the best light for each location. She would climb all over the woods, rocks, beach - just to get the best shot. She makes you feel extremely comfortable the entire time which helps bring out the best photos. If anyone is still reading this long review, I haven't even gotten to the actual photos. They are simply the most amazing photos I've ever seen! She captured the beauty of the coast and the exact look and feel that I wanted for this memory. My Mom, who came along, also had the best time. I would highly recommend Rustic Bloom Photography for any of your future photography needs!
