“Joann was a dream to work with! She took our engagement photos, and we can't believe she made us look so good! Joann planned our engagement shoot in the Lake Tahoe area from start to finish, advising us on outfits and makeup, bringing props, and working around weather challenges. She found the perfect location with gorgeous fall color, and she even returned the next day to shoot in a second location since the weather was iffy the day before. The photos turned out beautifully, with rich colors and genuine expressions and emotion. We love our photos and feel so grateful to have worked with Joann!”

"We worked with Joann on a lifestyle shoot for our brand, and she was incredible to collaborate within every single way! She was such a pleasure to work with and helped us decide on a beautiful location that worked perfectly for the vibe we wanted to achieve. Joann has an amazing eye and had great tips for styling our products, and was so helpful with directing the model on how to pose. As for the final product, the photos are stunning, and we couldn’t be happier with how they turned out!”

 “We had a wonderful engagement shoot with Joann. She was patient and warm throughout the process, from helping us figure out what to wear, to picking a stunning location, and of course finally delivering beautiful, varied shots that we were excited to share with our friends and family. She made us feel so comfortable, listened carefully to what we wanted, and overall just made this part of the long, challenging process of planning a wedding easy, and even fun. Thank you!!”
