I've hired Shoey twice now for professional headshots for my business. She listens to what I want, comes to the table with creative ideas, works collaboratively, and has a reasonable turnaround time for finished photos in multiple sizes for different media. I highly recommend hiring Shoey for your next campaign or headshots.

I am not someone who typically enjoys having his portrait taken, but I had a wonderful time in Shoey's charming studio. She was easygoing and approachable, kind, and complimentary, and I came away with a some wonderful images. As well as a good memory. Highly recommended!

Shoey took the photos for my wife when she was running for School Board, and they were great. So when I needed a headshot for magazine, I went to her for it, and he was very helpful in directing me and she was very professional. I would use her again.

As someone who typically feels uneasy in front of the camera, Shoey made us feel very comfortable taking family photos, as well as business headshots for myself and my husband. She came to our home, and captured our daughter's energy in our family photos, as well as professional photos for work. Her work is outstanding, and we wholeheartedly recommend her services.

Our photo shoot with Shoey was timely and professional. She was fun to work with and gave creative tips and positioning that delivered quality photos. Having a one on one session to review the photos after was really helpful in selecting the best shots. We will definitely work with her again.

Shoey is the kind of photographer that we all need. She is charming, personable, incredibly and sincerely humane, deeply skilled. All while making the sometimes challenging process of allowing ourselves to be seen a safe, natural, and even playful experience. She has a very, very special skill in this regard. The icing on the cake of the experience she provides is that you then have her beautiful and soulful photography; making the story of you, your family, your event an eternally tangible memory. Can't recommend her highly enough.

Shoey is amazing to work with-I felt very comfortable with her and it was a natural vibe for me. We went to various locations and Shoey made sure that we got the best shots, she really knows the Bay Area sweet spots for taking photos. I have currently updated all of my social media platforms with my new photos. I will definitely work with Shoey again in the future. Sincerely,
