As someone who has never done a professional photo shoot by myself let alone with my dogs, I was pretty nervous but Stevie made me and my fur kids so comfortable! She was so patient and kind and my dogs LOVED her. If a glowing review isn't enough, I think the photos speak for themselves. Thank you Stevie for the incredible photos!

We have used her throughout the years and she is very talented. The photos come out amazing and we love the memories that were captured by her in each stage of our family's life. In addition to beautiful photos, Stevie is very patient and good with the littles. My newborn was very fussy during her newborn shoot and Stevie was very accommodating to make sure we got all our photos. She is great with my older child as well in engaging with her, telling her how to pose, etc. Overall, it has always been a positive experience with Stevie.

I recently attended NPPE's second expedition this year into the Mojave National Preserve and was…read moreabsolutely thrilled with the entire trip! Our guide and instructor took our small group into places I never would have imagined inside the Preserve. While I was expecting to have a little bit of our time focused on the educational aspects of post-production, it turned out that we were split our time about 50-50 between editing and going out into the field and taking photos which was perfect for me. The small class size provided ample one-on-one mentoring with a certified instructor who was able to teach us many of the best-practices on image handling and post processing. Not only did I come back with some great images to send to the print shop and share with my family and friends on social media, but I returned with new editing skills and a fresh workflow combining LightRoom with Photoshop. Simply put it was an amazing trip, I learned more in 5 days than I had in the last year of taking classes and weekend workshops. The whole experience was customized to the needs of the group, starting with the phone calls before the trip to discuss what I wanted to accomplish, through adjusting the schedule while we were in the Preserve, and the follow-up calls afterwords. Small group size, 1 on 1 mentoring, trip tailored to the individual needs and desires of our group, instructor knew the area extremely well including knowing what time of day to be where to capture the right light on the scenes. Still riding the photo high from a trip that ended a month ago. Can't wait to attend my next expedition, probably one of the Utah trips whether it's Canyonlands, Capitol Reef, or Grand Staircase-Escalante. And I'm definitely going back to the Mojave National Preserve.

I…read moreinitially had my headshots taken some years back at Ziba and kept that one throughout they years --that is how good it was. When I left my firm for another and had to take the pictures again but at a different studio, they came out so horrible that I refused to post my face on the firm's profile unless they agreed to use my Ziba photo, which they did. Due to circumstances, I am back with my old firm as of May and luckily they still work with Ziba and I just did my headshots again - absolutely perfect job. Highly recommend them.

I absolutely LOVE my photos! I came into the shoot feeling so nervous but Sammy immediately put me at ease. He was patient, professional, and guided me through posing in a way that made me feel comfortable and confident. I'm so grateful he captured such a beautiful variety of photos that truly reflect different sides of me. The cost of the shoot was great, especially for the # of images, shooting time and turnaround on images. I enjoyed the entire experience and highly recommend Sammy and Ziba to anyone looking for an incredible photoshoot.
