This is my 1st yelp review, and Justin Grafton deserved every star and more! We're getting married…read morein July and a photographer was one of the most important on our to do list. Someone to take great pictures that will reflect our love and holy union! We heard about Justin and were so glad we that we did! After meeting him we were fortunate to have been able to book him to shoot our wedding! We were happy that it included an engagement shoot day! It turned out to the most amazing and fun day! We arrived expecting a 2-3 hour shoot at the falls and to our surprise we got more then we ever hoped for! Justin came out to the Columbia Gorge from the coast and devoted the whole day just to us! Climbing up waterfalls and cliffs all day like an acrobat treading the high wire of chance, trying to capture the moment of our lives special day. I see now that you don't just take a photograph, you make it. Like a sketch book that camera for Justin was an instrument of intuition and spontaneity! He truly has the great privilege of being both witness and storyteller. We are so grateful for his ability to capture the moment and the true, honest emotion of the day! The pictures he took are breathtaking capturing the beauty of our love for each other, obvious or hidden he found and captured the real us! He takes those great photographs that fully express what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed, and I think that's what taking foots is all about! . Above all, Justin and Sabrina went above and beyond and made our day unforgettable. The connected with who we are and brought out the best in us. It takes great talent and skill to capture that picture that will tell a story of a lifetime, and he can do just that. Our life for this photographer is not a matter of indifference and that is something you don't see a lot of now days. At the end of our shoot we were two very happy customers indeed The great passion and love for what he does is what makes him an artist and master of his craft . Thank you Justin for being fun and silly yet still very professional and responsive! The dedication and experience you bring to the table made us feel very comfortable with trusting you completely. We are so excited about working with Justin again on our wedding day! We are looking forward to all the great pictures we will have to keep forever, to look back on remembering the happiest day of our lives.

He was an absolute joy to work with and was really just so much fun! He made us laugh, kept up with the timeline, utilized the lighting and landscape and just kept things flowing really smoothly. I got so many compliments from guests and the wedding party about how great he was. I've only seen a sneak peak of photos, but from what I've seen already, they just look stunning. We will be using Dan for all of our family photos in the future. Highly, highly recommend him! He was the best!!!

He gave me a few venue ideas, which was used for my family photo's. We had a group of 12 and Dan maybe the shoot not awkward at all. We all enjoyed the creative shoots that Dan took. He took a variety of different group shots and did individuals as well. It's crazy how much he got done in only an hour. I would highly recommend Dan for personal photography's/family photos. If you are looking for someone friendly, professional and overall just a good guy, look no further Dan Rice is your guy.

Melissa did a maternity photo shoot and a newborn photo shoot for our new family and both…read moreexperiences and outcomes were really wonderful. We did the maternity shoot in a beautiful park setting in Sacramento. She knew the location really well (we came up from the bay area) and composed some really lovely shots. I'm so happy that we made the effort to do that shoot (at 8+ months pregnant it was an effort!). Melissa is doing a park photo shoot special through the summer and it's a really great deal (http://www.melissarighero.com/2013/07/summer-portrait-park-special.html). I've never done any kind of photo shoot before so I was pretty nervous and thought I'd end up being really awkward but Melissa is so nice and wonderful and helpful that it ended up being really fun. For the newborn shoot Melissa came to our apartment and we ended up with the most stunning photos of our baby son and the whole family. Again, when you have a newborn you don't necessarily feel like being photographed or having people come over, but Melissa is so wonderful and the experience was really enjoyable and she delivered the most beautiful results. I'm so happy we captured both of these really special moments and definitely plan on using her again for the next big event in our lives.

She was the icing on our cake!

I was a fan of Shanna for years before I even knew who she was. I ran into a few of her photographs…read morewhen I was looking for a good image to use for my landscaping. My clients wanted some high quality "final" images to send to their families to showcase my work. Needless to say I wanted the best in business and I came across her work. The first photo I ran into was this breathtaking photo she took in Sedona. Needless to say I was blown away at her ability to work with natural light and with color. I didn't know how she managed to come up with these photos, but I hope to someday put her work all over my walls in my home. I met her a few years ago in Los Angeles. She helped me with a few clients (who were blown away with her skill) and her affordable rates. She was extremely cheerful and professional, and gave each of my clients exactly what they were looking for, trim and responsive work with a fast turnaround time. I even asked her to take a headshot for me. This was kinda cool because I've never had a professional headshot before. She found the perfect spot outside of my home with the perfect light and took a series of poses. What was cool was she was able to make my ugly mug look good. Which is something considering i'm not movie star. I love working with her and hope to hire her again in the future. I recommend her highly and hope you get to enjoy see her in action. It's something to behold.
