Our engagement photos turned out beautifully!! I couldn’t be happier with the turnout. Got all of our photos a month after the shoot, a couple sneak peaks a week after. We had our shoot at Yosemite national park and I greatly appreciated the time Peyton took to meet up with us and drive into the park which takes forever and took us to this beautiful spot which required a little bit of a hike. I’ve never done a professional photo shoot before so I had no ideas for poses and Peyton directed us wonderfully and made us feel comfortable!

Payton made our first photoshoot together a breeze. We had several questions upfront and we were able to schedule a phone call before hiring. We wanted to go to a unique location and she knew the exact place and best time for lighting. She has a strong vision and made sure we were comfortable and familiar with her camera. Our engagement photos look excellent and we couldn't wait to share them with friends and family. The photos came promptly (wonderfully curated and edited) and with an easy to use digital gallery. We couldn't ask for a better photographer. We are so happy we hired Payton to shoot our wedding as well! Can't wait to work with her again and recommend her strongly to anyone in the greater Sacramento area!

Details: Wedding • 50 - 99 guests • Outdoors • Digital or online download • Flash drive

Payton produces stunning, and high quality work. She is a great communicator and works closely with you to get the style and feel you want on photos. I really appreciated how she professionally navigated our event, getting to the best spots for photos without disrupting guests. Extra bonus points for how well she and her assistant handled our dogs, who can be extremely difficult to photograph. 10/10, highly recommend.

Best photographer I have ever worked with. It was a pleasure working with Payton, she made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and the pictures came out stunning. Payton and her assistant blended in with the event. They took pictures for 6 hours at our wedding and her prices are reasonable and affordable. I highly highly recommend Sahleen Studios!

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    Prices depend on how many photos you would like, shooting time, and where the photo shoot will be located. I do charge a travel fee. I also require half of the payment the day of booking so I can secure your spot and then the rest of the payment before I send you your gallery.

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    Families, couples (engaged & married), graduates, business owners, etc.

Not what you’re looking for?

No problem: we have pros for every job.
