He had natural ease about him that put us equally at ease. He directed our movements with patience. He took us to many unique locations I would not have considered as an ideal photo spot, but every single one was incredible. My pictures came back incredibly fast. No matter what the occasion, next time I want professional pictures, I am absolutely calling on Eric again.

Eric is truly amazing at what he does. I reached out to him with a unique request. He was…read moreresponsive, I'm talking within minutes (via text and email), and very helpful. I had an idea that I wanted to come to life and he delivered just that! He helped me find a location to do my photoshoot. We were battling potential heavy rains, harsh light and high humidity on this day but he was extremely flexible with the environment and schedules. He delivers great quality photos unique to each person/ session. His turnaround time is great as well. So glad I found him as I am looking forward to including Eric and his work in more of my life's milestones.

She answered all of my questions and made me feel comfortable. I was in good hands. Immediately after our conversation, she followed up with a wealth of information to help me prepare for my photo shoot. Then a few weeks before we talked again and went over outfit choices and she answered all my questions. By the time I arrived at her beautiful studio, it was like going to meet a friend. I was greeted warmly by both her and her amazing makeup artist. The shoot itself was great and it her expertise was apparent. When we met again to select photos from the shoot, I was again so impressed. The unedited pictures looked amazing. The final edited pictures were everything I hoped for and then some. This was such a great experience. Her expertise showed up in the final product. And the final product made me feel amazing. It gave me the confidence boost I didn't know I needed. This was the best investment in myself that I could have made. She earned every penny and then some. I will forever be grateful for this experience. It turned out to be so much more than just pictures. It turned into the rebirth of me and how I see myself. That in and of itself is priceless. Book her asap!!!!!!

September 2017 I'm…read moreupdating my previous review only to say Shira will be our family photographer for as long as she will have us. She was just as kind and thoughtful with our now almost two year old and new six week old baby. I had to reschedule this time and she completely understood. I was also very impressed with how she dealt with our toddler. She's a handful and quite independent. I don't know how she did it but the pictures she captured of her were amazing! December 2015 We decided to take family pictures of our six week old with Shira and we were not disappointed! She was so pleasant and professional. We definitely enjoyed working with her. The baby responded very positively to her. I definitely would recommend her to others looking for someone to work with their family. Her edits to the picture were great because they were minimal but enhanced the natural beauty of the pictures. We were able to make great Christmas cards and provide prints for our family across the country. As an aside, she had to reschedule and was very apologetic. We understood but she still compensated us with additional pictures because she knew we were slightly stressed about the timing. She also stayed a little longer to make sure we had options. I'm just sharing as an example of the kind of customer service she offers. Not many are good at that part of the business these days.

My priority was to learn how to use my DSLR without relying on the automatic setting. I had a little experience with some things so first Shira gave me an excellent review then pointed out aspects of the camera completely new to me. AND she wrote out notes on what we discussed! I now have a valuable tailor made cheat sheet. After the camera review we walked around Columbia's Lake Kittamaqundi to apply the lessons learned. Shira is friendly, patient, calming. She is a born teacher. With her help I have become a more confident photographer.

One of the best things about this year was finding Helen Don Photography as our family…read morephotographer. Helen makes everything so incredibly simple for us. She is very transparent about the process and cost. There are no surprises. There's a quick turnaround. Most importantly, she takes the most gorgeous photographs. At a time when I was the most tired, vulnerable, pained, feeling less than beautiful days after the birth of our child, Helen made our newborn session process so simple, stress-free, and fun. Later that year, we luckily booked Helen for more family photographs. During the session, Helen was such a professional, rolling with the punches with our little ones and improvising shots, which turned out stunning. We are thrilled to have such high quality images documenting our little family. Thank you, Helen!

When we decided to do this photo shoot, we wanted that artist to show the world our love story and…read morecapture every moment and detail in each photo from the begining until the end. We are so grateful that we met Serge and had the ability/talent to bring that out of us into reality. Our story begins with me and my wife meeting at the gym in a cycle studio for the first time years ago. The gym is our most sacret place for both of us. So we agreed to discuss our ideas to Serge. His reaction became very possitive, motivating which gave us the confident that we needed. My wife is also a coffee lover and he suggested to take some pictures in a fancy coffee shot. It was hilarious and different but absolutely loved it!! We also both love nature and like to spend time outdoors. He took us to a magical place that is relaxing and unforgettable. We had a specific time of the day to perform our photo shoot, unfortunately, we were running late and my wife was very worried if we would have enough time to fit all our plans. At the same time Serge had other appointments after our photo shoot. He called to check on us to see if everything was as planned. We then explained the situation. Took it so calm and professionally that he understood what we were going through. This helped build back our confidence and encouraged us to continue as we talk about. Planning for a huge photshoot does take alot of time and energy to make it perfect. He explained that everything will be amazing but it wasn't amazing, it was EXTREMELY WONDERFUL AND BEYONG OUR EXPECTATIONS. We shared our ideas with him and later brought everything we mention to reality. It was all detailed to perfection and nothing was left out. He's skills were organized neatly that it was breathtaking. The experience we had was so much fun, exciting, and perfect that we can't stop talking about it and thanking Sokolov Photgraphy for everything they did for us. That's why we want to share this incredible experience with everyone. Once again, thank you Serge for the time and effort you put into our pictures. It means so much to us. And we love every single on of them. Rob & Cindy
