Shoey Sindel is our go-to photographer for head-shots, events, and personalized portraits. Shoey Sindel has a talent for relaxing her subjects to reveal their inner beauty and character and displaying those traits in the photographs. Many people tense up in front of the camera, but Shoey's inner calm and sparkling wit frees the most up-tight subject, of which I am one, to express the character within. Thank you Shoey. Probably time for a new head shot.

Shoey was able to come to my apartment in Berkeley for the photoshoot. She carried all the necessary equipment with her and we were able to quickly get my resume photo done with no problems. Very professional, polite, and just nice to be around.

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 was great work with. She was very communicative with us throughout the process. During the event, she interacted comfortably and warmly with guests and made people feel at ease. The final product of posed and candid shots was exactly what we were hoping for. Highly recommend Shoey.

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.
