"filled with natural light and really captured the joy"
"Sydney was an absolute joy to work with! Her photos were beautiful, filled with natural light and really captured the joy of the day. She was also so fun to be with the day of. She made my whole family feel so comfortable and it showed in the photos. She helped with the timeline and made sure we had photos of every moment that was important to us. I highly highly recommend!"

"Our wedding would not have been the same without her."
"Sydney totally exceeded our expectations! She was incredibly kind, flexible and punctual. Our wedding would not have been the same without her. Her positive energy was exactly what I needed and her wedding expertise was a huge comfort. You will not regret booking with Sydney!"

"The photos were gorgeous and she helped us ensure we got every moment we wanted"
Sydney helped my husband and I remember our engagement and our time living in northern California. The photos were gorgeous and she helped us ensure we got every moment we wanted by reminding us a long the way to look this way, move a hair, turn to each other, etc. When we had our first born we knew exactly who to call. She captured beautiful moments in our home as a family of 3. When we found out about our second, we immediately called her to get on her schedule since we moved to Southern California. Once again she captured our growing chaotic family at home and at a trail. Sydney photography and people skills are top notch.

"She made me feel so confident and made my husband feel so comfortable!"
Sydney is the absolute best! I had maternity photos done with another photographer and sadly they were all lost. I reached out to Sydney last minute and she got me on her schedule and took amazing photos! She made me feel so confident and made my husband feel so comfortable! She is a MUST when it comes to photos! You will be incredibly pleased with photography from her !

"she really helped us get comfortable and guided us in how to pose."
Sydney is an amazing photographer. I hired her for an engagement shoot in 2021. Her pricing was average but her quality of work exceeds that. My husband is a bit awkward when taking photos but she really helped us get comfortable and guided us in how to pose. She has neat tricks to get impromptu shots. When we received our gallery, we were overjoyed! To this day, we get compliments on our photos. Definitely going to setup shoots in the future when we expand our family.
