Working with Shoey is a treat. She has an almost magic ability to bring out the essence of her subjects - which is exactly what you want! Loved my experience with her and the results.

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.

I've hired Shoey twice now for professional headshots for my business. She listens to what I want, comes to the table with creative ideas, works collaboratively, and has a reasonable turnaround time for finished photos in multiple sizes for different media. I highly recommend hiring Shoey for your next campaign or headshots.

Shoey Sindel is a truly talented photographer. Most people tend to feel a little awkward with a camera pointing at them, but Shoey makes you feel comfortable and taken care of. She also gives excellent direction and has an impressive depth of expertise and technical know-how. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Shoey took the photos for my wife when she was running for School Board, and they were great. So when I needed a headshot for magazine, I went to her for it, and he was very helpful in directing me and she was very professional. I would use her again.

I recently had my first ever professional photo shoot with Shoey. What an experience! She really brought out the best in me and it was fun. I felt totally at ease and laughed at her funny stories. The process of selecting photos was very simple and fun too. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

As someone who typically feels uneasy in front of the camera, Shoey made us feel very comfortable taking family photos, as well as business headshots for myself and my husband. She came to our home, and captured our daughter's energy in our family photos, as well as professional photos for work. Her work is outstanding, and we wholeheartedly recommend her services.

Our photo shoot with Shoey was timely and professional. She was fun to work with and gave creative tips and positioning that delivered quality photos. Having a one on one session to review the photos after was really helpful in selecting the best shots. We will definitely work with her again.

We went to various locations and Shoey made sure that we got the best shots, she really knows the Bay Area sweet spots for taking photos. I have currently updated all of my social media platforms with my new photos. I will definitely work with Shoey again in the future. Sincerely,
