Sierra is an absolute pro to work with! She was incredibly responsive and offered her expertise in helping us plan and capture a surprise proposal at a graduation party. She made everyone at the party at ease in front of the camera. She captured the most beautiful photos of the proposal and the happy couple, as well as photos of all the guests. She provided us with a few photos right after the proposal so the couple could announce the news, and the remainder of the photos she delivered quickly thereafter! Sierra is kind, professional, and extremely talented - I would recommend her without hesitation to photograph your event!

Shanaz is dishonest and doesn’t respect her clients. She used us for a project around Halloween 2022 where she invited us to take photos for her own promotional usage on the promise that she would deliver us 5 custom edited photos within a couple days turnaround. Well, it’s been over a month now and she hasn’t delivered on this promise. On top of that she just ghosted us - after we got prepared and drove out for her, gave her our time, and actually paid her prior to this for engagement photos. Would NOT recommend going with her.

If there were a masterful storyteller among photographers, Steve Byrd would undeniably hold that title. Our experience with him was nothing short of magical, as he brought our small vision to life with a breathtaking symphony of emotions frozen in time.
From the moment Steve stepped into our home, exactly at the minute we had agreed, his passion for his craft radiated through every movement. His warm demeanor put us at ease, making us feel like old friends rather than clients. He took the time to genuinely connect with each couple, understanding their unique dynamics and personalities, which ultimately translated into the most authentic and captivating photographs.
As he began to work his magic, it was evident that Steve had an innate ability to see beauty in every detail. Whether it was a tender glance, a shared laugh, or an unspoken promise, he effortlessly captured these fleeting moments with artistic finesse. The result was a collection of photographs that spoke volumes about the essence of each relationship.
Steve's expertise shone brightly during the group shots, a true testament to his remarkable talent for orchestrating harmony within chaos. He guided us with patience and precision, arranging us in a way that felt natural and visually stunning. The group shots exuded a sense of camaraderie and love, immortalizing our bond in frames that will adorn our homes for generations to come.
One of the most remarkable aspects of Steve's photography is his exceptional use of light. With a painter's eye, he embraced the play of natural light, casting a soft, ethereal glow that added a touch of magic to each image. Even in the most ordinary settings, Steve's skillful manipulation of light transformed the scenes into extraordinary works of art.
Beyond his technical prowess, Steve's genuine enthusiasm and passion for his craft were contagious. His infectious energy kept everyone engaged and excited throughout the entire photoshoot. It's rare to find someone who not only excels in their profession but also exudes a genuine love for what they do.
Throughout the process, Steve was an absolute pleasure to work with. He listened attentively to our ideas and preferences, and then added his artistic flair to elevate the overall experience. He turned our small vision into an extraordinary reality that exceeded our wildest expectations.
In conclusion, Steve Byrd is not just a photographer; he is an alchemist of memories, weaving the threads of love, joy, and connection into timeless masterpieces. His ability to capture the essence of each couple and bring their stories to life is nothing short of awe-inspiring. If you're looking for a photographer who will not only deliver stunning photographs but also make the entire experience unforgettable, Steve Byrd is the visionary artist you've been seeking.
We are eternally grateful for the treasure trove of memories he has gifted us, and we wholeheartedly recommend Steve Byrd to anyone seeking a touch of magic in their moments captured through the lens.

Wow – what an amazing, fun, and empowering experience! Last year (2015) was an extremely difficult year for me personally. After making some changes in my life over the past several months, I’m in a good place and happy with where I am and who I am. So I wanted to find a way to mark my passage through those trials and commemorate the renewed man that I am continuing to become.
Sure, I thought about a tattoo with symbolisms and metaphors; however, that kind of memento felt like a cop out to me. As I previously mentioned, I wanted to document who I was at this point in my life. The only thing that came to mind was having a few photos taken. After posting my desired project on Thumbtack™, I quickly received a response from Paul. Little did I know that hiring Paul would turn out to be multiple levels beyond my expectations!
After exchanging some messages and a discussion over the phone, we set a date for my personal and custom photo shoot at his studio. Paul suggested that I bring a few different clothing “looks” and a couple of “props” that help convey my personality. For me, the “looks” centered on jeans, t-shirts, and a button-down shirt; and the “props” were a sweater, a hat, a basketball, and the WSJ.
The day come around and I arrived at Paul’s studio. (BTW, Paul’s home studio is a dedicated, separate space with high-quality professional equipment.) I will admit: my heart rate was a bit elevated. As I told Paul, I wasn’t too worried about how the photos themselves would turn out. I was more uncomfortable about what I was supposed to do during the shoot: where to place my hands, what to look at, and how to “pose”. Paul quickly put me at ease saying that it was his job to make me look my best; he would guide me through what to do. Paul said my job was to relax, behave naturally, and have some fun. So with just Paul and me in his studio, we turned on some music and began taking photos.
Paul is a casual, personable guy with a great sense of humor that quickly created an environment that was easy-going and down-right fun. My personality and Paul’s are similar so it felt more like two friends hanging out than a professional photo session. Paul gave me easy-to- follow instructions as to what to do. While carrying on a conversation the whole time, Paul discovered I have a bit of a devilish streak to my humor. He grabbed onto that characteristic and encourage me to express that side of my personality to capture “the real” me.
Time never felt like a factor during the photo shoot. We had agreed upon the duration of the session prior to the shoot, but I never felt like Paul watched the clock and was rushing through the time. Even
with changing clothes a few of times and Paul taking photos of me in all states of dress and undress, there was plenty of time to accomplish what both Paul and I wanted from the photo shoot.
Once the session was finished, Paul confirmed my e-mail address. Within 24 hours, Paul electronically sent me all the photos (except for the ones he had already culled through to get rid of the worst ones.) Although Paul showed me some of the pics in his camera’s viewfinder during the shoot, I was more than amazed when I began to flip through the digital photos. The photos were really good! Paul even had me looking good in the photos!! As he promised, he captured the very best of me.
Bottom line: Paul is an incredible photographer that I would recommend to anyone. You get more than your money’s worth; you meet a good guy; and you have something tangible that you can be proud of.
Get in touch with Paul….you will not regret it!!
