Shanaz was amazing to work with. We had a mishap happen during our shoot and she was more than accommodating. She even agreed to reschedule so we had more time to complete the shoot. I definitely recommend her. She is very passionate about her craft and will make sure you are happy with the final product.

Shanaz was so wonderful to work with. From the start, she was very responsive, attentive, and incredibly helpful with recommendations and pointers that helped me make my proposal vision a reality. Her communication and professionalism were always on point throughout the entire process, which quickly instilled my trust and confidence in working with Shanaz. After my fiancé said “yes”, Shanaz also guided us through a very nice engagement photo shoot. She was so kind, helpful, and easy to work with during the photo shoot, which ensured that we were comfortable and had fun the whole time. Lastly, Shanaz was very punctual with providing our pictures back to us, which we really appreciate. She provided us a sneak peek within 24 hours of our photo shoot, and the rest of our photos came shortly afterward, so we can appreciate them just in time for the holidays. We really feel that she had the utmost care for us and our engagement day, and the photos that she provided were BEAUTIFUL. We will treasure our photos forever and can’t thank her enough for capturing our big engagement day as perfectly as she did. I would highly recommend Captured Moments by Shanaz to anyone, and would work with her again anytime.

Shanaz is an amazing photographer and person! This was my first photographer experience and it was for my engagement photos and she made the experience so worthwhile! She suggested poses and photo styles but always made sure to let us know to have fun and be natural. She made my Fiancée and I feel so comfortable and at ease while having so much fun with Shanaz! I would 100% use Shanaz again for any photography!

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.

Shanaz Photographs's reply
Big yikes Aviv! You and I both know I delivered 3 professional edits within 8 days of this particular photoshoot, which was offered completely free as I test ran Halloween mini sessions. As the holiday season has kicked into full gear the bookings I have been hired to capture have taken my full attention just as it did when you hired me for your wedding photos (not engagement). I understand the heat of the moment can lead you to vent freely on public platforms but please understand where I am coming from as well. I am deeply saddened as we had such a great experience prior to this complimentary session.

FAQs

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    Once we connect and I have a better understanding of what you’re looking for and we both feel comfortable working together, I stay in touch as we lead up to our session all the way through to photo delivery day.

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    For corporate work, I've partnered with the US Government, Smithsonian Journeys, Toyota, and more! For personal client event work like birthdays or baby showers, I love to capture a mix of candids and posed photos. I’m able to tell your story in an authentic way that feels true to you and the day as it unfolds.

  • What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

    Always ask a photographer how they will store your images. I personally backup all images on multiple hard drives and deliver high quality downloads via an online gallery link that can be shared and does not expire for a few months.
