An image that you can see over and over without it blurring away. Memories are being made one click at a time. Me being the person that I am, will always put you first.

This is what it's made of. This is who I am.

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Makayla and could not be happier with the…read moreresults. Makayla has a beautiful eye for photography and light. Makayla captured both our wedding and our engagement photos. She was professional, quick to respond and willing to try different types of styles in our engagement photos so we could choose a style we wanted for our wedding. I would and have recommended Makayla to friends and family. Wedding planning can be expensive but I think Makayla is worth every penny especially if you are doing a destination wedding. Overall I think what sets Makayla apart from other photographers was her complete respect for what we wanted as a couple, both for privacy in what we wanted featured on her accounts, and also how we wanted photography to be incorporated into our wedding day (giving us the space during vows and not always feeling like it was a photo shoot). She was also honest throughout the process in what she could and couldn't do regarding lighting and weather and was one of the few photographers that we talked to that had clear price points on her website that you can find without asking! If you are on the fence with other photographers I recommend choosing Makayla. We are so happy with our photos and that we hired her.

My…read moredaughters are on the Autism spectrum and it's difficult to get them to pose and take instruction. Katie's patience was amazing. She has captured my girls and their personalities, both on land and underwater! We love her work so much, I hired her to do new headshots of me too. Now, I hate photos of myself, but she made me look and feel beautiful.

Katie, the principal at Shani Studios, is so good that I've used her four times so far: twice for…read morefamily portraits and twice for professional events. None of the shoots were easy. But all of them were brilliantly and beautifully handled by Katie. We first hired Katie when we heard she did underwater portraits. Our daughters are virtual mermaids, so we loved the idea of photographing them in their "natural habitat". But the photos of them in the depths of our pool were so much better and more beautiful than we ever imagined. After all, we never get to really see them underwater from an underwater perspective. Everyone who sees these pictures is amazed and enchanted. The professional events were large fundraising events: one at a major tech company in San Francisco and the other at a VC firm in Palo Alto. Lots of crowds, lots of VIPs, many of whom were publicity-shy or publicity-demanding. Katie handled it all with grace, charm and skill to produce excellent shots. Much better results than far more expensive event photographers I've worked with. Finally, I had Katie do some more traditional portraits of my daughters. Since they're both on the Autism Spectrum they can be hard to capture on film--reluctant to pose and hard to engage. But Katie did a fantastic job of engaging them and beautifully capturing their personalities. Shani Studios delivers every time. I cannot wait to work with them again.

Her outdoor studio provided the perfect backdrop for casual photo session that included my parents, husband, and son. She made sure to get several staged photos at specific natural settings around her property, but also captured several "in between" candid moments. The candid photos of my 7 yo son were especially precious. When it came time to ordering prints, Melody provided great recommendations for number, sizing, and placement of prints. I definitely recommend Melody for professional, friendly service and photos that you will cherish for years to come.
