Fantastic photographer!! LOVED my photos! Fun to work with.
On a personal level, she was friendly but professionally she dropped the ball. We never did any engagement photos since her follow-up was slow which is so disappointing. I was hoping she would have some ideas regarding how to pose us or have a...
creative spin but no. The pictures we like the most were the ones in which we took the lead. She took pictures that were poorly lit, poorly posed, or poorly captured. The only picture we have with my husband's family (btw we should have taken a few) , my mother-in-law's eyes are closed. I thought photographers were supposed to make sure things like that don't happen. Sure there are some fun photos but we as a family are still upset.
She also asked my mother-in-law to delete her review because it made her look bad. Sketchy.
If less than one star was available it would be used. She is completely uncommunicative. Understand that this has been an incredibly trying year due to Covid, but I believe that calls for more communication not less. We had to cancel our wed...
ding due to the pandemic, and initially she was very helpful in keeping our credit and saying she would be available anytime we wanted to reschedule. Later this year when realized there is no end in site, and we are unsure of what type of event we will have in the future we reached out to her to discuss a partial refund, and even the potential to use her in the future for whatever we end up doing, whenever that may be. No response. Multiple emails, texts, etc, and she has completely ghosted us and walked away with our money.
BRIDES BEWARE. It took me almost a year and a half to post and that’s my only regret. After finding others on a Houston bride group that went through the same thing I did, I knew I had to make sure I warn other brides. We met Gina a whole year ...
in advance. The initial meeting went well. She made us feel like she was in control. We were interested in her work because we saw she had done an engagement shoot at Minute Maid Park and we are huge Astros fans. To make this short, we rescheduled our engagement shoot 3 times. Twice we were notified last minute. By last minute I mean my makeup was done we were just waiting for her call. Everyone warned us to maybe find a backup for the day of our wedding just in case but we were still optimistic. The day of our wedding I get a fall from our coordinator letting me know she was not going to show because she had a cough, but she was sending a replacement. Livid doesn’t begin to describe how I was feeling. I spoke to Gina myself right after and she was so rude about not showing up to a job I paid her to do. The replacement was AMAZING and took care of us. He even edited a photo for us that same night and it looked beautiful. But, like other reviews, he was giving her the raw photos to edit. I made sure to get his info so we can give him the credit for the amazing work he did. Comparing his one edit to her several, I would have in a heart beat went with him instead.
Gina did an amazing job as our wedding photographer!! She was so sweet, professional, and went above and beyond to get all of the best shots on our big day!! She thought of a lot of great poses and picture ideas that turned out awesome, and did...
an overall AMAZING job capturing our wedding day!!! She is so talented and great to work with and we would recommend her to and brides and grooms looking for a wedding photographer, or anyone wanting pictures for a special event!! We love Gina and wish we could work with her all the time! Also, she edited and downloaded our pictures to the gallery within 3 weeks which is incredible, and everyone we shared them with LOVED them!! She is also very fairly priced compared to other photographers in the industry, and exceeded all our expectations!! Would 10/10 recommend Gina Schild Photography!!
Gina cancelled via email the morning of our wedding, March 15.
No notice of possible cancellation. No refund as of yet or plans to refund us. Unfortunately, paid the full amount up front.
Response from the Vendor on 04/22/2020
COVID 19 Virus wedding -
This wedding was on a date where it was total chaos, uncertainties and travel being shut down. Life was changing daily - and it was very scary. Things were changing very fast, what we were seeing happening in our ...
country was crazy and very, very stressful. I cannot imagine having a wedding happening during this mess - how very stressful and sad to have planned it all and be in this crazy time.
With that said - I DID reach out to the couple the DAY BEFORE their wedding to check-in and express my concerns about restrictions and any changes they may be made to take precautions. Nothing was changed and everything was on as planned. They did assure me the caterers had experience in dealing with things like this and were taking extra precautions. OK?
When I woke up at 3 am (the next morning, their wedding day) I checked the news - and a new ban on groups of 10 or more from gathering had been issued. Their guest list was 175 and had family traveling from out of state. Additionally watching the news that morning of what travelers were experiencing and the travelers complaining about concerns of being clustered together in long lines - were frightening. So at 6 am I reached out and said I would not be able to shoot the FULL TIME they hired me for - that I would shoot the before time and ceremony and pictures of family & wedding party afterward. But I could not shoot the reception. But I would do as many shots after the ceremony of the family - we could go outside for pics, all around the venue. We could take the wedding party or couple to The Strand for special & fun shots - maybe go to the beach etc. Take as much time - go where ever they wanted but I just could not shoot the reception. They immediately said No they found someone else and did not need my services and if I did not refund their money by Monday they would have their attorney call me. No compromising at all - just threats and they wished I would have canceled sooner because their makeup artist had a friend that could have come. I again said I would come before during and after ceremony coverage & special pics outside - on the beach, strand - I knew where to go for awesome, one of a kind couple shots, wedding party shots, etc - I am very experienced with Galveston weddings and that I would REFUND any unused time. I also explained why shooting a reception was very different than a ceremony - with music, dancing, and drinking - people get very relaxed on things and do not pay attention to the precautions super necessary for the times. Their particular venue is beautiful - but has no windows you can open and the dance floor is on another level than the doors so there is no way to ventilate if needed. Their guest count puts this venue at max - so what would be fun with music, drinks, and dancing becomes a very different environment with the virus unfolding. But they had no interest in communicating with me anymore - and I understood.
IMMEDIATELY - that day the day of their wedding - I REFUNDED the max amount I could to them on what they paid for my services. They paid in full at a much earlier date and after a set amount of days, you cannot refund the FULL to some credit cards because of the time that has transpired after the original transaction. So I did the max I could at that time.
Monday and the next week my business completely fell apart - weddings started canceling and I immediately lost my income for the next 5 months. Canceling weddings, rebooking weddings etc. Venues closing, couples changing plans totally. etc
I have been in constant communication - before this review was posted and the week following their wedding - with them over their remaining refund amount- which I even filed with my insurance company trying to get help covering my losses to get something back to this couple and others that decided not to get married. I gave them snapshots of communications with my insurance company - still trying to figure out how I can refund them. If I could - I would have.
Thank you Heather for leaving out the whole story of your review. Mainly - the COVID 19 pandemic that was exploding the week before and leading to your wedding day. Thank you heather for not mentioning the partial refund issued to you immediately. Thank you for not mentioning our constant communications about your remaining refund. Via email, text and phone calls.
Loved working with her! She knows what she is doing, took charge of the crap I did not even consider needing help with. Highly recommend.
We booked Gina Schild for our engagement photos and wedding. The engagement photos went well, so we were optimistic for the wedding photos. In the months leading up to the wedding (Oct 2019) Gina was completely MIA, not responding to any of ou...
r emails. This should've been our first red flag. On the MORNING OF OUR WEDDING, I found out that Gina wasn't coming after all and we would instead have a random photographer filling in for her. Gina never even emailed us herself, we found out via the photographer she had hired to fill in. The fill-in told us that Gina said she was having an "outpatient procedure", but after a little Facebook research we're convinced Gina was at a car racing event instead of our wedding. You can be the judge. We were skeptical about the new photographer (how good can a photographer be if they're available at the last minute for a prime Saturday wedding?), but at that point had no choice but to go with it. Once we met our photographer, she admitted that she'd never met Gina either - this was just a last minute gig that came up for her. This is a huge red flag - Gina didn't even KNOW the photographer that she sent to our wedding in her place. Luckily, the fill-in photographer was good and we got all the photos we wanted. The fill-in told us that she would give the raw photos to Gina, who would do all the editing and get them back to us.
Fast forward a couple of months and our wedding album is up on Gina's website. Keep in mind, Gina never even reached out to apologize or try to explain her absence at our wedding. The photos were completely unorganized and appeared to have just been dumped online. The "professional editing" we paid so much money for was nonexistent. I spent HOURS organizing them, deleting ones that were obviously blurry or duplicates, and editing them. In fact, it was the editing that spurred me to finally write this review. It is horrible. I've gone back and re-edited at least half of the photos because they were too dark or had an orange tint. My husband and I 100% regret booking Gina Schild as our wedding photographer.
Response from the Vendor on 04/22/2020
This review is totally on me. In ten years, I missed this one wedding and have this review to deal with. I was not able to shoot this wedding and called the emergency contact the bride listed on the contract to call in case of emergency and I ...
told them who would be coming and assured them she was an excellent photographer. This wedding was in Austin, and there was no way for me to make it following the emergency I had. I felt awful for it.
But the photographer I sent - and know, is a high-end Austin photographer - very experienced and did an excellent job. I would not send just any photographer, ever. But I had worked with the couple on shooting their engagement pics and knew Alaina was pretty particular so I paid more for this particular photographer than I got paid PLUS an assistant in the hopes that it may make up for my last-minute emergency. Additionally, I delivered over 1200 images on a package that was supposed to be 500, hoping all the extra beautiful shots would help make up for my failure to be there. All that did was make her gallery seem unorganized and like it had duplicates - which it did not. As a professional, this is why we do not deliver so many images as in a wedding what appears to be a dupe is not, it has a slight change.
Beautiful venue, couple, and images as well ---

To correct this issue moving forward - I no longer shoot in Austin and staff an additional photographer for backups. As this freaked me out and still haunts me to this day! I did not even see this negative review until today.
We were very happy with her services and images.
My wedding was very detailed and had multiple locations. I don't know how Gina did it alone. She missed nothing, I was surprised at how much she captured. I will treasure the details forever. I planned it all alone! Thank you Gina for ever...
ything you did, I know I was a pain.
I was shocked at the level of work ethic and talent compared to the price she charged. My parents paid 3 times for my sister's wedding photographer and Gina's shots blew her images away. Of course, I did not tell my sister, but I did a happy ...
dance inside when she was looking at my wedding gallery. Sorry, Monica, it is true.
A great photographer and professional. Our images were stunning.
Went above and beyond. Arrived early. Delivered more and on time. We loved her images.
I am not sure if my first post went through - but I am not chancing it not being posted. Gina Schild Photography was one of my best wedding vendors. I don't know what we would have done without their experience. Two photographers for 10 hou...
rs, well worth it.
Super professional to work with, ran the show. I had two shooters, Edward and Gina. Loved them both.
Very professional, hard working, & friendly. Our photographer busted his butt running around to get the perfect shot in 94F weather, as well as inside on the dance floor constantly moving. I was very impressed.
Gina, was wonderful. She captured all the moments we were looking forward to seeing when we look back at our day. She did the more traditional ones you like to see but also some more artistic shots that came out beautiful. I had an event plann...
er and together they just went to it. We were very pleased with how it all came out. Thank you Gina!
Gina was just fantastic from start to finish! She made us all feel comfortable and took photos of our day that I will cherish forever. I was her ADHD bride and she did a fantastic job getting me to spots I needed to be. Thank you Gina!!
Gina is the definition of an amazing photographer. From the moment we met her, we immediately felt so comfortable around her. She was so knowable about anything wedding and was always quick to answer any questions. Gina did our engagement and w...
edding pictures. The pictures she shot are incredible. I don’t know how, but she was able to capture the most beautiful moments between my husband and I. These pictures I will cherish for the rest of my life. I am so thankful Gina came into our lives. She made this experience so special! Thank you, Gina, for everything you did. You are so talented and a fantastic photographer. If you guys are looking for someone who is able to take gorgeous pictures that embrace who you are as a couple, look no further because this is your woman!!
I never realized how much a photographer dealt with, until I was the bride. I cannot say enough about Gina and her team. Our images are the bomb.
I loved her images and chose her because of that. She did not disappoint.
We love our images!
Our wedding shots are the best I have ever seen. Truly amazing to have seen the amount of work that goes into great images. Two of our friends hired her after seeing what all she did at our wedding and then seeing our images. Amazing.
No coordinator, Gina to the rescue. I do not know what I would have done without her. She helped me build my timeline the week before and kept us on track the day of. And, I love my pictures. Stunning.
Wonderful to work with. Our wedding images turned out beautiful, and we knew they would because she knows what she is doing.
We worked with Gina six months ago, she was awesome from start to finish. We love our wedding images, and our online gallery is still active - I look at it weekly.
Wonderful experience. I let her run with my day, and I was not disappointed. She knows what she is doing and I got shots of things I was not expecting too. Her expereince definitely made a huge impact on our day. Best vendor award from us.
We are so thankful that we chose Gina Schild Photography. Gina was so amazing to work with. She asked us what was the most important things that we wanted photos of, and definitely exceeded that. She started taking pictures right from the start...
of us all getting ready, and kept taking pictures non stop until the end of the reception. She was so sweet, especially when the power in the whole area of where the reception venue was went out. It was very hot until the power eventually came back on, but yet she never complained. Several of the guests commented on how professional she was. When we got our photos back, we were absolutely stunned at how beautifully they came out. We have gorgeous photos of the whole timeline of the day. We would like to personally thank Gina for being so amazing, and taking such beautiful photos. We will definitely recommend Gina to everyone we know.
We were so happy with our pictures of our big day and our engagement photos. Not only is Gina affordable, so is so pleasant to work with, and people are still raving over my images. She is a gem and so are her pictures.
Gina is so easy to work with, she tells you exactly what she needs. How to stand, what looks good, and what doesn’t. I’d use her over and over again. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
We are so stoked over our images! Just amazing.
Gina was amazing to work with in my bridal photos as well as on our wedding day. She isn't afraid to get down low or climb on furniture to get the best shot. Our wedding photos are gorgeous, thanks to her attention to detail and enthusiasm. She...
has a great attitude and is very easy to communicate with. In the time leading up to our wedding day, Gina went out of her way to keep in touch with me (despite my schedule being crazy hectic!). I would recommend her to any one who wants something more than just regular group shots to remember their big day by.
We hired Gina for our wedding photography and absolutely loved our images. Very professionally done, and a very professional service. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Gina Shild Photography!
We had a wonderful experience with Gina Schild Photography. I would recommend them again and again. One of my best vendors chosen.
I picked out Gina and pulled the trigger on her immediately. My wife, who I love very much, cannot make a good decision on most things. Gina was half the cost of another photographer we were looking at. Did I say half? The work looked the ...
same to me, and I hired her. My wife made all the other choices and picks. My choice was the best. Dudes, take control now and hire this photographer for your photos. My wife thanks me every time she sees them. I can now ask 'who was right?' for as long as we both shall live.
I loved her and my mom loved her. Not only did she deliver wonderful pictures from my big day but she helped me make some major decisions in bad weather situations.
We hired Gina for our photographer and loved our images! Professional and artistic.

Gina was everything I wanted in a wedding photographer. She listened to my ideas for the wedding and the shoot and made a list of everything I wanted captured. She got everything and more! Her final shots were beautifully taken and beautifully ...
edited! Now I have these lovely keepsake photos to remind me of this special day and it's all thanks to Gina!
BEAUTIFUL! Gina did a fabulous job taking our photos! She has the perfect "photographer" eye and captured the sweetest moments of our special day! I can't say enough about her level of personalization and how she truly LOVES her job! It shows i...

I never realized how hard a photographer worked until I watched Gina at my wedding and reception. When I received my images, which were beyond spectacular, I was even more blown away at what she got that I did not even know about. We both a...
re super happy with everything from start to finish. Thank you Gina for images we will proudly show off to everyone.
Gina was great for our wedding! We had an outdoor wedding and indoor reception and all of the photos were great. Only thing I would've done different is have a list of special photos I wanted, which I didn't think I needed (and Gina DID ask!). ...
Anyway, Gina was fantastic!
I paid for my daughter and son-in-laws photos as part of my gift, but I let them choose the photographer. I was very pleased with Gina, from the payment process to the delivery of our daughter's special day. Thank you very much Gina, for eve...
rything.
I could not ask for more than I received. Literally loved her and her work from the start and was not surprised at how great all of my images were. Thank you very much Gina & team.
We are in love with all of our images, and we knew we would be from the moment we met Gina. Professional. Creative. Fun. Easy going. Outgoing. Everything you hope to get for your investment, you get plus more.
I am picking up the prints from my daughter's wedding and I am just blown away. Gina and her assistant worked very hard at the wedding, and went out of their way to do things they did not even have to do.
Thank you Gina Schild Photography for...
these beautiful images and prints.
We had a fantastic wedding, just a great night overall. And less than two weeks later, we got to relive it all with the images Gina captured. When we looked over the images, there were things we had forgotten about and things we did not know ...
about! Spectacular all the way around.
Gina and her assistant were awesome. They worked tirelessly the day of our wedding to capture every moment. We have so many favorites it will be hard to decide which ones to print. Gina was professional from day one and I am very happy we hi...

I booked a beautiful venue and wanted a strong photographer for our wedding. I got what I was looking for, and more. I'm in love with my images. It makes me smile every time I look at them! Thank you Gina!
I am so happy I decided to go with Gina! It was a very pleasant experience for over a year now. Starting with engagements all the way to my wedding night. I picked Gina not only because her work was beautiful, but because she turned around...
her images in two weeks. I got mine in 7 days, and got to re-live my wedding memories and have new ones from things Gina got that I did not even now happened.
Thank you Gina!
Gina and the crew did wonders for our wedding. Shot is just as alive as we wanted it to be. They have fabulous skills and absolute passion for their work and we were very happy to share our big day with them. These pictures will always remind u...
s, how much emotional, full of life, love and colours day it was. They captured all the moments with perfect timing and angle and gave it their magical touch. Our wedding album says it all. Thanks to all of them for adding quality to our wedding.
thanks
Stay blessed
I love Gina's work. She's very professional, fun to work with, and her photos are high quality. Highly recommended!!!
What can I say about Gina other than that she is the absolute best. She really listened to what we wanted and did an amazing job. She seemed to be everywhere at once and got some of the most beautiful pictures. She was also an absolute pleas...
ure to work with. Everyone loved her. You cannot beat her pricing and the end results are worth so much more. I cannot recommend her enough.
From the start, I knew Gina was the right choice. Our engagement session was fun and the images were ones that will make me smile for a lifetime. On my wedding day, Gina had the little things with her that we had forgotten like safety pins, ...
body tape etc. So much more than a photographer and got images I did not even remember seeing. I love my pictures with a passion. I could not have asked for anything more. Except maybe that she shot video because my wedding video sucked. Thank you Gina, I will be referring you to all of my friends. Nothing but love!
Gina was fantastic to work with! We were hoping to find a photographer who would capture our vintage-theme wedding with a creative eye. She definitely fit the bill! Gina looks at the world in a different way and can do all the standard shots bu...
t also capture those moments and angles only a creative person would see. She was also a great help when we had issues with our location and came up with a swift backup plan for another location to do our shoot. She made all of our photos have a dreamy, romantic quality that a wedding day should have. And bonus – she knows how to make brides look extra pretty! She worked her butt off the day of the event staying from early in the day to the very end so she didn’t miss a thing. Plus, I felt I made a friend in the process. She was awesome. Highly recommend!
Gina was incredible! I could not have asked for a more innovative photographer. She put everyone at ease, was so nice, and captured my entire wedding (I can relive every second!). The pictures are gorgeous, and absolutely perfect. The groomsmen...
were total pranksters and she captured it perfectly, never missing a beat. I cannot recommend her enough, if you need a photographer, go with Gina.
I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Gina! We used her as our wedding photographer this past weekend, March 26th, and not only did she give us a great price but she was such a fantastic person to work with. Let me start by saying my...
now Husband does not like to have his photo taken. He’s a two photo max kinda guy. She arrived early and scouted everything out to know exactly where she wanted to take our photos. Gina was able to get all the shots I could imagine while keeping him happy and knowing when to give him a break. We waited to see each other until we walked down the aisle and she still got everything in without taking away time from our cocktail hour for us! I was able to dance, eat, and enjoy everything about my wedding and get amazing photos. She’s got the greatest personality and fit in perfectly with our bridal party. She even helped clean up a broken glass on the dance floor, seriously above and beyond! If you are considering a photographer I highly highly recommend Shot by Gina. Not to mention we were from out of town and the whole experience was so easy. Thank you so much Gina, I can’t wait to see all the photos I know they will be gorgeous!
I knew I wanted to hire Gina for my 2015 September wedding when I saw her breathtaking work from my SIL's wedding in 2014. Gina was everywhere taking pictures of our guests, the bridal party and even sneaking snap shots of my step daughter who ...
is extremely camera shy and who doesn't like to smile for pictures and they came out absolutely PERFECT!! Gina was absolutley professional and such a beautiful soul to work with. I received a link to all of my wedding photos within 2 weeks after my wedding while other photographers you have to wait months and months to get them. I'm recommending Gina to every bride-to-be that I run into and I can't wait to hire her service again in the near future b/c Baby Yancey will be making an appearance June 2016!!
8 hours of photo time.
My mother hired Gina to shoot her wedding this past January. We didn't expect her to do a lot of shooting because it was such a small quick wedding, but she went above and beyond to capture every moment, and it's something my parents cherish da...
ily. I personally know a little about photography myself, and I know what an amazing photographer looks like, and that would be Gina. I definitely will be choosing her to capture my engagement pictures as well as my wedding pictures in the near future.
Gina Schild is a true artist with her camera. She really captures the personalities of all she photographs as well as taking truly creative and beautiful pictures.
We had a small wedding, but the pictures tell it in a big way. We will definitely recommend her to anyone that wants beautiful wedding day photos and someone that listens then delivers what you asked for. Great personality,, Two thumbs up!!
She not only was our photographer, she now holds a special place in our heart. For our engagement shoot she literally got on the floor to not miss any good shots! When we got those pictures we couldn't believe how good she made us look! We will...
definitely contact her when babies are on their way!
I reserved a session at the beautiful Julia Ideson Library in downtown Houston for my daughter's bridal portrait. Gina had never been there before so she made the trek down there to scope everything out weeks before our appointment. On the da...
y, she was able to help us navigate parking and tell us who we should see. You can tell that Gina loves what she does as she was so excited to get those special shots. It was hard to decide on what pose to pick for her portrait!
Gina did the photos for my wedding back in July of this year. She did a phenomenal job capturing some of my most treasured moments of my big day. She has an eye for raw emotions and truly understands what it means to capture family moments. Not...
only that, but her work is absolutely beautiful. She was extremely patient with my wedding party and took the time to make sure I got photos of exactly what I wanted. There was not a person there who was not captured on her camera. Because of her, I have photos I get to proudly share with my future children and grandchildren for years to come. Flawless.
Gina was awesome - attentive, engaging, utilitized all our surroundings to capture some truly incredible bridal portraits the week before my wedding. Would recommend her services to anyone looking for a talented photographer!
Gina is an awesome photographer! Our company uses her for intimate weddings and elopements in Galveston. She has a unique ability to capture these special moments and keeping the couples super comfortable, even with just meeting the couples for...
the first time! We love working with her and as a wedding planner, I highly recommend hiring Gina for your wedding photography needs.
I got married in a small but lovely venue, and Gina captured the occasion from the wedding party gathering and preparing, to guests arriving, throughout the ceremony, fantastic and creatively posed photos after the ceremony, to the celebration ...
at the reception.
She was on time and professional throughout, and worked her magic without interfering or blocking anyone's view. She captured candid moments along with the more traditional and formal poses, and surprise poses that turned out so special.
An example of this occurred after the ceremony when the guests had left to go to the reception venue and the wedding party was posing for the standard shots. Gina surprised us by having my new husband's adult son (who was the best man) kiss his dad on the cheek. My husband's expression of pure happiness in that moment is priceless. Gina also had my adult son kiss me on the cheek in the next shot, and I've framed these photos together as a keepsake.
Gina used the natural lighting for some special effects, as well as professional lighting she brought with her. Her equipment seemed modern and versatile, and she obviously had experience as she was agile in switching lenses, adjusting settings, placing props and making sure everything was perfect.
After we got back from our honeymoon, Gina contacted us and soon had photos for us to view. I was amazed at her work and what she had accomplished for us. Every one was perfect.
I'll also tell you that I was a "mature", meaning over 50, bride, and plus sized. Gina is a "girl's best friend" in that she knew the best angles, best lighting, and used her intuition to me look younger, thinner, and really lovely.
My biggest problem was deciding which photo to put on the cover of my wedding book....there were several that were worthy of that place of honor.
I highly recommend Gina as the photographer for your special occasion. I am very pleased that I chose her for mine.
Gina photographed my wedding, November 14, 2015. Words cannot even describe how pleased I was with her and her services. She blended in with our wedding guests, kept us on our timeline, has an amazing eye and extraordinary personality. She did ...
more than capture the best memories naturally; she told a story in photos. You can immediately sense her passion for what she does and it shows in the photos. I love her so much, my brother and sister in law used her at their wedding September 2015 also. Her services are very affordable and she goes the extra mile to find out what you want out of your wedding pictures. The turnaround time on receiving the hundreds of pictures was very quick. We are definitely going to be reaching out to her for family photos when we decide to do those. Don't settle for someone that has a snazzy camera and a few good photos. Book this camera ninja, just be you, and let her blow your mind.
