During the shoot he made us feel totally comfortable and kept the experience fun and relaxed. He knew all the best spots around the location and helped us get such beautiful shots.

We definitely plan to work with him again in the future!

We worked with Daniel for our first professional photo shoot to celebrate our 25th wedding…read moreanniversary. He was absolutely incredible from start to finish! Booking and payment were super easy online, and communication was excellent the whole way through. We told him we got married 25 years ago on a beach somewhere on the Nevada side of South Lake Tahoe (the exact spot is still a mystery!), and when he suggested Zephyr Cove Resort Beach, we knew he was our guy. I'll admit I was more nervous than my husband, but Daniel immediately made us feel comfortable. He's easy to talk to, fun, and knows exactly how to guide you through natural poses without anything feeling fake. We were laughing (actual laughing tears!) the entire time. We had the best time. We just got our proofs back, and I am beyond thrilled. His work is beautiful!! We started at 5pm and he got all the best of the area! Unreal!! You 'd never even know it was one of the windiest days ever! I can't wait to see the full gallery. If you're in the South Lake Tahoe area and need a photographer who's talented, personable, and genuinely cares about your experience, Daniel is the one.

We hired Chris as the photographer for our wedding in August 2024. After speaking with a few…read morepotential vendors, we felt like Chris understood what we were trying to capture on our special day and we really liked his documentary-style approach. He was a very clear communicator and we felt confident in his planning and organization. The day of, he was very professional and made sure we smoothly moved through all the photos of the family we needed. And the final products were beautiful - I absolutely loved all the candid photos, from the ceremony, to the reception and our awesome dance party.

Where to begin? My wife and I interviewed multiple photographers before we ended up talking to…read moreChris via facetime. Honestly, the conversation didn't feel like we were interviewing photographers for our wedding, it felt like we were talking to an old friend. From the initial conversation we had to the day of our wedding, Chris was nothing short of awesome. He was incredibly professional, he invoked laughter and candidness throughout the entire day, capturing real pictures - not staged photos. When you think about what makes an awesome wedding picture, we learned this was a huge factor. We're so happy we chose Chris to shoot our wedding, as he was able to capture what that day felt like - not just us and our families lined up in a row. For anyone considering Chris as a photographer, I'd highly encourage you to think about this, as very few photographers seem to truly capture the feeling, and also bring out the best sides of you and your loved ones. Chris was nothing short of incredible, and honestly we couldn't have asked for anything more from a photographer. He seemed to be invisible all the time throughout the day, but somehow always around - it's quite difficult to explain. Chris, thank you so much for capturing the essence of our wedding. My wife and I both agreed that you were one of the easiest pieces of coordinating and planning a wedding, and your work is absolutely stunning. If anyone still isn't convinced, just take a look at Chris' work - it speaks for itself. If we ever find ourselves needing professional photos of anything, we'll find a way to work with Chris again.

She is so wonderful at capturing the moment and making sure to get the shot before it's gone. She's great at guiding you for beautiful photos and she's an absolute pleasure to be around. She will make your wedding day special and not feel like a production. Highly recommend Jen Schmidt Photography for the Tahoe/Reno area!

Jen is amazing! She took our engagement and wedding photos and we couldn't have been happier. My…read morehusband is so incredibly uncomfortable taking photos usually because photographers can be a bit pushy and loud. Jen's personality and calm demeanor made him feel so comfortable and she captured some lovely photos because of how relaxed we both were. I grew up with a mom as a photographer and tend do do a fake forced smile when I'm taking photos. Not the case with Jen. Everything looked natural and her overall framing is gorgeous. She even put up with our crazy pups which is a lot to ask of someone. Her prices are reasonable and she gets you previews within days of the shoot which is awesome! Then you get a digital copy of all the photos which most photographers don't do as quickly as she di Definitely recommend!

He was easy to communicate with, flexible with short notice, and showed up right on time. Martin has a laid-back style, which worked well for the atmosphere we had. He moved around the venue without being intrusive and captured a solid variety of shots--some were great,, others more candid and casual, which actually helped show the vibe of the event. He posted the photos quickly to his website, which made it easy for us to share with our team and guests. I appreciated how simple he made the whole process--no hassle, accepted electronic payment, and delivered as promised. Martin was dependable and professional without being stiff or overproduced. I'll definitely keep him in mind for future events and would recommend him to others looking for someone reliable who knows how to blend into the scene and get the job done.

I hired Amber as a recommendation from my amazing wedding planner/coordinator, so expected her to…read morebe just as awesome or better. Weddings are expensive and an investment, so I expect to get a good return on it. At the beginning for our engagement pics all was cool and I feeling confident about using her services. My wedding was kinda still during the height of covid, but everything seemed to be going well until the week of my wedding when I rec'd a text from her that she was not going to be able to shoot at my wedding bc she wasn't feeling well. I obviously was upset bc my contract was with her, but I had to be understanding of the situation too. What I didn't like was I had to trust a colleague of hers (Heather) who I had never met and didn't meet until my wedding day to take the best pictures possible. She did mediocre, and didn't capture very many couples pics nor family pics. (So glad I had relatives and friends who brought cameras. Most took better pics than the paid photographer, but I didn't pay them, I paid Kindred Souls for quality pics). She kinda rushed through our main pics and all the outdoor pics are hideous. Amber stated though she couldn't shoot my wedding, she'd do the editing, but she was sooo hard to get a hold of regarding status of my prints and just communication PERIOD! My wedding was in September and I didn't get my photos till mid December. I'd say I'm patient, but 4 months is ridiculous. When I sent my favorites back to her for editing I advised her they were not the clearest they could be and were too dark and to reedit. Here we are at the end of February and I still haven't heard back from Amber. Truly UNprofessional, poor customer service and a bad look on this business. They don't have to worry about me referring ANYONE to them! A waste of almost $1800, sigh.

Summary: Great experience, family friendly, accommodating, funny, high quality, will use again…read more Shoot photos can be seen here: http://www.daniellehankinson.com/edgelake-family-reunion-photos.html Our extended family has spent a week each summer at Kings Beach since 1986. It took us 26 years to realize our own attempts at family photos didn't capture the experiences the way we wished they did. My wife and I decided to get a professional pictures taken this year. We came across Danielle's website and were attracted to her work with large families as well as being a local to the kings beach area. As soon as we met Danielle, we knew it was going to be a good fit. Her humor was very similar to ours, and she knew how to apply the right amount mixed with direction to keep the process flowing. Our family covered 4 generations, with ages ranging from 84 to 18months. She was able to limit the impact and movement to the older folks while providing a treasure chest of little toys to entice the little ones. The pictures were painless, even with a group 20+ pale, squinty eyed people! After the shoot, approx 4 hrs later, Danielle returned with a projector, screen and ipad to review the photos and let us make our choices. It was so fun to sit around with the family and see the final product. This was a no pressure consultation and there was no upselling. We chose to go with a digital package allowing, us to share with the large family. We had to promise to get them printed (anywhere) eventually so they could be enjoyed and looked at every day. We continuously get complements on our photos. We also get some disbelief thinking that pictures that good can't be real. "There's no way that background is real", "That's not REALLY at Tahoe, is it?" I can't say enough good things about Danielle. She was a perfect fit for our family and I highly recommend her. As our kids grow (3 and 1.5 now) we'll definitely use her in the future.

When we hired Ashley, we got so much more than just a photographer that takes brilliant shots…read more Ashley was so incredibly helpful and crucial to the success of our event. She went above and beyond by acting as, not only our photographer, but our coordinator and scheduling assistant. I was genuinely so relieved to find out how professional and on top of things Ashley was. She guided my wife and I through every step of the way. One of the coolest things about the process was the day-of schedule Ashley generated; this was so helpful in pulling everything together and getting all the vendors on the same page (something my wife and I were probably incapable of doing ourselves). Hire Ashley if you can! 10/10
