I can’t recommend Solana enough!
We booked Solana for both our engagement photos, as well as for a full day wedding photography/videography package and would recommend her 100 times over.

We did our engagement photos late in fall, and unfortunately all the leaves had already fallen from the trees, but Solana found a way to make the dead brown background absolutely stunning. She helped us with poses and kept the entire session light and fun. All of our photos came out amazing and we felt great reassurance that she would be able to handle our big day with ease.

We booked Solana for a full 12 hour day at the wedding (with a second shooter and videographer that she provided). There was a small extra charge for this, but it was totally reasonable and I highly recommend this if you two are getting ready for the wedding at separate locations. Solana communicated with me very easily the days leading up to the wedding so we could formulate a plan and schedule, and she helped to scout out potential shooting locations for the big day. Unfortunately, due to a transportation issue our portrait time was cut very, very short; but Solana and her team made magic happen (considering the very small time window we had). We were able to get all the family shots we cared about as well as a few amazing photos of the two of us. Very thankful she was able to get the important photos under such time constraints. Solana was also present for the majority of the reception as well, and we were able to get photos of basically every wedding guest with a fun “photo op” game we played.
Even weeks after the wedding I still had guests asking me how the photos turned out because they could not believe the hustle that Solana showed throughout the whole 12 hour day.

All in all I highly recommend Solana for any photo you may need. From weddings onward I know she would be able to get any shot your heart desires.
Thanks Solana!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Solana, a young beautiful lady with exceptional skills of photography 🥰. I had Solana for my anniversary clicks and yes, it was the best decision I made. Solana was soo flexible with our schedule ( with no additional charges) and she was very polite. She knew what we were expecting. She did recommended poses and places for the best capture! Photos came as exceptionally beautiful! I must recommend her for anyone if you are looking for within budget photography ( with no quality compromise) 😃😃 . Thank you Solana for making our anniversary memorable 🎉

I cannot stress this enough! You will not be disappointed with choosing Solana for your special day!
She is the sweetest person you'll ever meet.
So easy going and makes you feel so comfortable throughout the whole process.
She went above and beyond to scout out places for us and our senior dogs. Making sure they were able to make it to every spot we made along our trip.
She traveled extra with us to make sure we got back to our vehicles safe afterwards.
She was in constant contact leading up to the big day making sure we were 100% good and our vision was set.
Do not hesitate to book her for any special occasion you will not regret it.

My partner and I did a couples shoot with Solana and we had the best experience! We met Solana for the first time that day and she made us feel comfortable immediately. We had never done a shoot like that before and didn't know what to expect. She guided us through all the poses and had us laughing and feeling confident and comfortable. She has such an artistic eye and attention to detail. We did a variety of poses around the property we shot at and Solana really captured the beauty of the location. Do not hesitate to book with Solana. Not only will you have the best time with her and your family/friends, you will have the most amazing photos to cherish forever. When we left, my partner said "that was so fun!", and that's coming from someone who normally avoids taking photos. Book with her ASAP! Thanks again Solana for such a lovely morning <3

Dean and I hired Solana for our May 2022 wedding. It was both of our second marriages and although we wanted beautiful pictures to capture our day, we didn’t want to take out of our retirement savings (or for any young newly weds, your down payment). Solana worked with us from the start on options for something that worked in our budget.

She showed flexibility in coming out to our Air B n B ahead of time to get a sense of the First Look pictures.

Getting to do some pre-wedding (engagement) pics allowed her to give us some tips (as we both felt awkward).

On the day of the wedding, Solana brought her modelling and photography eye and skill. She was easy and enjoyable to work with! When we got our photos, we were in awe!!! Again her unique and keen angle lead to some of the most beautiful wedding pictures I’ve seen. So many from the ceremony that captured the emotion that we had no idea she would get (and even some we wondered where she must have been to get that angle and look)! We couldn’t be happier with the end results.

There were a few times I did have to follow up on an email I sent but never a second time. We would hire Solana in a heartbeat again!!!

My boyfriend and I have been dating for a while and thought it would be fun to do a photo shoot for the first time! We chose Solana to capture our memories and had an amazing experience working with her. She made our photo session fun, easy, and CREATIVE!

Before our shoot, I contacted Solana to get her opinion on an outfit I had planned to wear (I am not the best at styling outfits). I wanted to make sure I chose flattering colors that complimented our style of pictures and Solana was really helpful for this. At the beginning of our session, Daylan and I were super awkward as it was a new experience for both of us. However, Solana's warm personality and fun character helped us feel more comfortable in front of the camera. She also went the extra mile to incorporate what my boyfriend wanted (motorbike pictures) and what I wanted to try. Solana did not disappoint! And her work exceeded our expectations.

We are so grateful for the time she put into making our experience fun and providing us with awesome results. There are so many good pictures we can't pick a favorite. We definitely recommend Solana and would choose her again!!

Solana was the best photographer I could ask for on my wedding day. I’m an introvert and someone who’s not super comfortable being in-front of a camera but she made me feel so comfortable and had lots of ideas of poses where I didn’t feel awkward. Her pictures turned out AMAZING, I truly loved her shooting and editing style. She went above and beyond and she helped come up with some really great shooting locations. She was very patient, organized and has an amazing bubbly personality - my day wouldn’t have been the same without her and I would recommend her over and over!
