She was flexible with the location for the setting of the photo shoot, she told us to pick three locations but I did not really have a place in mind. She had her own recommendations and after researching the locations she suggested, we concluded to one which was at Sycamore Grove Park and downtown Livermore. Depending on the location, it might have a parking fee but the photographer paid for this expense. She allowed two outfit changes. She shot multiple photos and was very comical when instructing my child with poses. We were given more than 50 edited images to select from, package we chose allowed 25 image downloads. A link with a code was sent to my email. The invoice was paid prior to the session and was sent to my email. It was a wonderful first professional photoshoot for us. We highly recommend her services.

Again, his creativity is mind-blowing! Book them asap though, they are in high demand!

She was able to help me with poses and caught the best angles. I can't stress the angles enough, she maneuvers the camera until she finds the shot and it makes all the difference. Her experience shines through in the way she manages her projects. I was able to work with Shannon on the Redefining Beauty project. She was able to come into my home, spot the best lighting, and create photogenic spaces that I wouldn't have thought would look good in photos... but somehow she made it happen and my photos came out AMAZING. I love how professional she was throughout the entire planning process. We had consultations prior and I was able to stay in contact afterwards. She even helped with planning the photo shoot concept. Honestly, she does way more than any other photographer I've ever worked with. When you hire Shannon you're not just hiring someone to take pictures, you're getting so much more. I received my edited photos quickly and on a cool online platform I can revisit anytime. The photos are beautifully edited and such a high quality. I couldn't be happier with how they turned out. Shannon is an amazingly talented photographer who can make magic happen in any circumstance. I'm so grateful for the images I got of me and my daughter. I look forward to working with Shannon again!

Shannon also helped with finalizing our wedding day schedule, gave us tips on what we can wear for our engagement shoot, single-handedly wrangled 100+ people for a massive family photo in a matter of minutes, and above all, so fun to be around all whilst being super professional!

They made sure we captured every shot I had envisioned, while also bringing their own creative ideas to the table--and those ended up being some of my favorite moments from the day! Even though I've only received my sneak peeks so far, I am already blown away. The quality, the vision, and the attention to detail are all exactly what I was hoping for and more. Knowing that everything is then edited by Isabelle Westfall herself gives me even more confidence that the final product is going to be something we'll treasure forever. If you're looking for a wedding photography and videography team that is professional, creative, and truly invested in your day, I highly recommend Westfall Visuals.

I wish I could understand what's going on with Scott but since he won't respond to my messages,…read moreI'll have to share my most recent experience with him. I found him late in 2024. You can read my review on that encounter in my last review for him. I closed out that review by stating that I was so impressed, that I left a 24-105mm f/4.0L for him to look at. At this point, I don't even remember what was wrong with it. He worked on the lens and got it back into working condition and called me. It's 71 miles from my house to his shop. I made the drive down and in the course of conversation, Scott said that he would be more than happy to sell it for me and could get up to $400 for the lens. That particular lens was the first lens that I bought for my Canon 5D. It was my only lens for at least five years. Needless to say, I did everything with it. When I returned to my local fire department as a volunteer photographer, I added a few more lenses to my arsenal included the Mark II version of the same lens. Since I didn't need the one Scott had just repaired, I asked him to sell it for me. I didn't hear from Scott for quite a while, but the lens wasn't my priority. I do a lot of volunteer work, and I had enough equipment to keep working. I called him in April of 2025 to check status, and it hadn't sold yet. We spoke briefly about lowering the price. I told him I would take $300. I didn't hear from Scott again until August when he said he had a buyer for $275. I told him that $300 was the price that we had agreed on and he said that he would "make up the difference". I didn't fall off from the turnip truck just yesterday. I know that the difference of whatever he sold it for and what I got would be his profit. But I also know that when you are selling something on consignment, you have no right to arbitrarily lower the price without the owner's permission. His "making up the difference" meant that he made less profit. He asked when I would be driving down to pick up the check. I asked Scott to simply mail it to me. Every time, I've visited him at his place of business, I've had to call to let him know when I was close and sometimes, he wouldn't be there. I know as a single person business operation, clients need your time, meetings run long, photoshoots take longer than expected. I figured getting a check by mail would be easier for both of us. In October of 2025, I called for and left a message for an update. January 30th of this year, I called and Scott told me that I should have received the check by now and that he would have to check with his bookkeeper to find out what happened to the check. Yesterday, 3/23, left a message letting him know how disappointed I was with his lack of communication. And so here I am, dropping my five-star rating for him to one-star. Next will be the Better Business Bureau. I may never see my $300 again but I don't want to see other hard-working photographers get taken for a ride.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience with Nielsen Photographic was extremely…read moredisappointing. On November 15th, 2024, I brought in a Leica CL film camera that I purchased from eBay that had a broken light meter, but wanted to check if that was all it had. Scott initially seemed helpful, claiming he was certified in Leica/Minolta repairs and found that the speeds were off. He estimated a 3-5 week turnaround for the fix. That timeline quickly fell apart. By late December, I still hadn't heard anything and had to follow up multiple times--calls and texts were ignored. I only got a response after calling from an unknown number. Scott cited a family emergency and poor communication habits, then accused me of being "impatient," even though I was just asking for updates well past the promised timeline. Told me I could pick it up. I asked him to keep it as I was not impatient and just wanted the camera to be repaired. I gave him another month as he requested, but by May and June, I still had no update. My partner finally got him on the phone, and Scott admitted he couldn't get the part or repair it because he didn't have the manual. This was frustrating since I had kept the purchased camera based on his assurance that he could fix it instead of returning it to the eBay seller. Which was no longer an option. He offered to find shops who could help, but never followed through. I picked up my camera on August 1--unrepaired--and he never once provided any leads or updates. When I mentioned writing a review about my experience and how I was appalled by his lack of empathy or accountability, he finally said "sorry," but only about the "situation." Unless you already have a relationship with Scott, I wouldn't recommend using his services. The lack of communication, accountability, and professionalism was unacceptable.
