We greatly appreciate Vanja's creativity and guidance during our special proposal…read more Even though myself as the bride didn't know it was going to be a surprise proposal, Vanja went above and beyond making us feel special and captured every heart felt moment. Vanja takes REAL candid, photos. She captures the joy, the moment, and makes us look GOOD in the process. The photos speak for themselves. A huge thank you for our proposal photos. They are amazing and will be a wonderful reminder for years to come. Groom: Vanja was extremely flexible and easy going when it came on planning my surprise proposal. The day of the proposal Vanja was organized, on time and ready to shoot. She captured photographs before my fiancé even noticed it was going to be her proposal. Very happy I found Vanja and definitely going to use her for our wedding photographs. Without a doubt we will be using Vanja for upcoming wedding anniversaries, baby showers, soccer tournaments, prom and graduation etc. (should she be available) We're so thankful that Vanja was our photographer, and we will be sending all referrals her way! Thank you!

Vanja is my one and only personal brand photographer! I have done multiple shoots with her and the…read moreresults always exceed my expectations. Before the shoot, she was extremely thorough, ensuring she understood exactly what I needed and that I got what I wanted and even more. She is professional and personable and creates a safe and comfortable container for the photo shoot. The way she engages with you makes the camera feel like a friend. Whenever I use one of her photos in my work I always receive compliments. She is unparalleled and a pleasure to work with at every stage of the process.

Booking engagement photos with Praise was one of the best decisions I've made…read more Prior to the shoot: She took the time to chat about what I wanted, she scouted locations and was super understanding when we rescheduled due to COVID. She gave great tips and reminders what to pack. She even offered to wear my dog in a backpack during the photos! During the shoot: She was such a calming presence. In the stress of traffic and outfit changes and a barking, energetic puppy she helped ground us and remember to breathe. After the shoot: Her communication and turnaround was great. The photos are dreamy and made making my wedding invites so easy. She blew my expectations out of the water. We're so happy and thankful for these memories

She listened to what we wanted and she has a great eye for photos. Praise was very quick to get me the photos and she even did black and whites which was a nice touch. She is a doll to work with and her positive energy is contagious. I would highly recommend her for your wedding or any event where you want a professional photographer.

I was referred to Rafaella through a business associate, and I can tell you that she is the best!…read moreI've had headshots done a bunch of times over the years and what I really loved about Rafaella is that she actually took the time to position me properly, taper my clothes so they photographed well, and ensured that my hair and makeup were in order. She really took her time with the shots (she was NOT phoning it in) and then spent time going through them with me to narrow them down, which was much more efficient than me trying to go through them later. Plus her pricing is really fair. I will absolutely use her again in the future and highly recommend!

Prior to the shoot, Rafaella and I discussed my goals for the photoshoot, including how I wanted to look and the ways in which I intended to use the photos (LinkedIn, publications, etc.) Based on our discussion, she provided specific recommendations for outfits and how to look my best. On the day of the shoot, Rafaella and her extremely talented make-up artist, Paula, were complete professionals and put me at ease right away. Paula provided me exactly the look I wanted, and Rafaella gave excellent direction, down to how to hold my hands and curl my fingers. She has some amazing tricks she uses in her shoots that only someone who is truly dedicated to her craft would know. The results were fantastic. The photos are fresh and different from the typical corporate headshot, without being cheesy or overly editorial. I love how I look - like the best version of myself - and the fact that I now have several looks I can use in a variety of professional contexts. I cannot overstate how impressed I am with Rafaella's talent for listening to her clients and giving them exactly what they want without losing her own voice as an artist. I recommend Rafaella an Paula without reservation. Thank you both so much!

She is so talented and such a professional! When my energy is depleted, she is still 100% geared up for incredible photos and she keeps us all motivated. Later, I have seen the best photos as a result of her diligence and encouragement. Although my son is older and easier to photograph, the past couple of years were more challenging. My son doesn't like strangers and doesn't like his picture taken but she was soooo amazing with him. They are good friends now and she knows what he likes and she is able to obtain wonderful photos of him. Over the years, Asya has also been our "go-to" photographer for any business or special occasions. She is wonderful in photographing parties--she obtains many candid shots of our guests but also really fun posed group photos too. I don't have to worry about taking photos at our events any more! After each shoot, Asya has provided us with 5-8 CD's with meticulously edited, black and white and color photographs. This is work that I know has taken her many hours to edit and review for us. Asya truly loves her work and it shows in her product. I highly recommend Asya for any type of photography you may need.

I have very bad acne on my face and bad teeth covered with braces. I think I am an ugly mother-to-be. BUT in spite of this I am thrilled to be pregnant and I feel that this time in my life should be documented. I have never hired a photographer before and Nada made this first time a fun and enjoyable experience. She made me feel completely at ease and the shots she took of me took me by surprise. I actually am not that ugly! She really brings out the beauty in me. I can't wait for her to do my newborn baby shots!

My Husband and I commissioned Yana (the owner of Soleil) to shoot pictures for our engagement party…read morein San Francisco. We really connected with Yana when we first met her which was really important when selecting a photographer. It's one thing to take great photos, but it's another to feel comfortable around the person behind the camera. All of our guests connected with Yana throughout the party and we were able to get some memorable candid shots of guests enjoying themselves. Yana was also able to cover several "detail shots" of the many DIY projects that we had worked on to make the our engagement party "extra special." We also added a special "photo booth" type section to the venue which Yana was able to shoot with such ease and professionalism. I also hired Yana to shoot my Husband's birthday party which was on a moving Trolley. Yana was able to take some great shots even while the Trolley was in motion--now that takes some talent. The shots were great and she was able to capture a bunch of special moments throughout the celebration. I definitely recommend Yana for any event, big or small!

She did everything possible to get my baby to smile and look at her. She made us feel comfortable and was open to suggestions as far as poses/using different backgrounds etc. A couple of days later I received the link with the images and there were many good ones to choose from. I'm currently waiting for the prints & digital image so I can share them with our family. We've never had a family picture taken and this is something I've always wanted to do so I'm so glad that I found her Groupon and look forward to doing business with her again.
