Steven was incredibly patient while I spoke with my doctor, showed genuine empathy and compassion, and somehow turned what could have been an overwhelming experience into one that was comfortable and even enjoyable. It was difficult to hide my sadness, yet Steven had a remarkable ability to make me smile naturally. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful. Even though it was a professional headshot session, one candid photo of me with a genuine, natural laugh touched my heart. I loved it so much that I asked Steven to include it as well because I wanted to keep it as a cherished memory and share it with my family. What impressed me most wasn't only his talent behind the camera, but also his kindness afterward. Knowing what I was going through, he took the time to check on me, and that meant more than I can express. What could be better than working with someone who is exceptional both as a photographer and as a person? I will absolutely return to Steven for every special occasion. This photoshoot marked the beginning of my journey to preserve the important moments of my life with a truly gifted photographer. Thank you, Steven, for giving me beautiful memories during one of the most difficult days of my life.

Our photos are absolutely stunning and deeply meaningful to our family. Melanie captured both the natural beauty of the garden and the joy of our time together.

I decided to go with someone that would be competent in answering all my questions and be able to book me the following week. Silvia has been exceptional. She was also extremely helpful in preparing me for the shoot and helping me to decide what be best for my needs, did not push me to do more than needed (actually the opposite). On top of it, it was the most fun photo shoot I've ever had. The only problem I was left with was after the shoot when I had to decide which image to use as there were just too many excellent ones. I highly recommend her. Her prices are more than fair. I'm a customer for life. She's extremely talented and professional and an exceptional retoucher as well.

In general I work with natural light as it gives your skin tone the best color quality. For a more commercial look I also offer an indoor studio shoot. I have years of experience in retouching techniques. I spend a minimum of one full hour, often two, on each retouching session. To me, retouching is an art form. My background in fine art oil painting has helped me to take my work to an unusual high level of subtlety and power. I offer with each session two completely retouched images ready for print.

Oxana is truly the sweetest, most talented photographer. She has such a warm and welcoming presence and makes the entire experience feel effortless. Taking family photos with three kids can be a challenge, but having the session in her beautiful studio was absolutely perfect. The controlled setting made everything so much easier and more comfortable, especially with little ones. No worrying about the weather, lighting, or distractions, just a relaxed environment where we could focus on making memories. From beginning to end, the entire experience was seamless. Oxana has an incredible way of making everyone feel comfortable while capturing the most beautiful, natural moments. She is patient, kind, and so wonderful with children. It means so much to have someone who photographed such a special chapter of our lives now capture our family as it has grown.

We were beyond thrilled to have had Randi and Adrian be our wedding photographer & videographer!…read more While wedding planning: (found first on Yelp!) From the start, I spoke to Randi and she knew how to ask the right questions to figure out what kind of wedding vision & experience we wanted so that she could design it to make it whimsical, picturesque, romantic, and natural! (The wedding planning process is so busy and daunting too, and it's so difficult to shop and inquire with different vendors in all of the wedding planning categories. Randi made me feel so assured in how she and Adrian could go through the entire process for the wedding! My brother in law has always been interested in photography for decades, and helped to look at many different photographers' samples - and declared that Randi's was the best quality by far! Other's promised extras like drones and extra photos, but my BIL said their photo quality was very simple point+shoot. We also personally loved Adrian's sampling of his prior beach weddings! Minor bonus is he spoke a little Polish and that helped with some of the family photo shoots!) Handling our shoots: Myself being shyer and unsure especially how to pose, Randi & Adrian knew exactly how to guide us for our photos along with the ceremony, beach and mountain scenery, backdrop, and throughout the reception -- while also making the wedding night be captured naturally. We could tell the extreme level of effort and knowledge they physically and visually put into preparing the right timing, scenery, lighting and flow of the night to get all of the right shots! Final products: We loved the way all of the high quality photos and video turned out, including capturing backgrounds, family, friends, our many couples poses, and the ceremony + reception. Please see some photos I've added of the photo album that she designed! The photo album is such beautiful quality with glossy styling and gold-outlining on the thick pages, and the flow of the photos in the album all tell the perfect story of the wedding! (The 4k video theatrically captures the feelings and beautiful scenery of the entire wedding in a 3-min short that my family loved watching after, but of course is not pictured here).

The photos turned out stunning, capturing every special moment beautifully. I couldn't recommend Randi more!
