I first hired Shoey in 2022 for a simple headshot photo session, and I’ve become such a huge fan of her incredible work, that she has now done my whole branding project for my new business website, AND was the photographer for my wedding in a historic Marin County setting. Shoey goes above & beyond with every project: she asks me questions about what my hopes & goals are for a session, and REALLY listens to what I am saying. She then creates some kind of magic with her equipment and her editing process. I recommend her to everyone I know who needs a skilled & intuitive artisan for business or personal photography!

I loved working with Shoey! This was my first time having a professional headshot done, and she made it so easy and relaxing. She has a very kind eye, and put me at ease throughout the process, including making the final choices. The results are great, and I couldn’t be happier.

Shoey Sindel has an amazing photography studio! A very nice camera linked to light boxes to the flash on a very nice professional camera. She allowed me to use two outfits to get two very nice headshots for a reasonable price.

She was able to make me feel more comfortable during and after the photoshoot when I got a little overwhelmed with the experience.

She is very talented, professional, and has a nice studio in Downtown Santa Rosa.

I had such a great time working with Shoey! We met briefly once, via Zoom, before our scheduled photo session. During the photo session she was completely professional at all times, while making the experience fun & easy. I most definitely will work with her again.

Our portrait experience with Shoey exceeded expectations1 After consulting about clothes, styling and location, Shoey came to our place for a relaxed and fun photo shoot. She reviewed all the images and came over again to help us choose which of the many photos were the keepers and then walked around the house with us, discussing sizes, shapes and where we wanted to display them; she then arrived – for the third time – a couple of weeks later, hammer in hand, to personally hang the framed photos on the wall! Incredible service and attention at every step along the way.

I love working with Shoey! We did headshots together five years ago and I went straight back to her when I needed a refresh. She is fun, laid back, and professional, really listening to her clients and capturing them in their truest sense. I can’t wait to use my photos in my marketing.
