What Other Are Saying
"Fantastic Headshots for my office. They set up a studio at our location and everyone got photographed and looked great. Then we shot some images around areas of our office with the staff, including the Board Room, the lobby, some of the attorney's offices, etc. We wanted our website to reflect our People and our work place. Vicki did it, and we looked professional and the office shots reflected who we are and our professionalism. Within a few days we had our images, and off they went to our Web Designer. Very Pleased!" -Lauri Baker
" We have been working with Stanwycks photography for about 8 years now. We send all of our New Hires to Vicki for their Executive Portrait Session's. We use these images on the web and for various things we need Headshot's for. Vicki makes it simple for us. I would highly recommend Stanwycks Photography to any Corporate firm. She really has made it seamless for us." - Cheryl Landsman
"So we wanted something different for our Executive's. We didn't want the same type of looks. We had Vicki do some in her studio against different backgrounds with a few of our people. She tried a Green Screen, we shot against white, and we also went to a few locations around our office, outside. The green screen we used two different backgrounds that were dropped in later - some very contemporary looks. The ones against white were clean - light and airy, and the ones outside were great. We couldn't decide. We chose different one's for different things and we use these Pictures all the time. It's good when you like more than few and want them all. And to top it off, Vicki and her assistant's are really very nice and fun to work with." -Jennifer Bordelon

"Best workshop I have ever taken. Vicki went above and beyond my expectations. She provided excellent, personalized instruction, based on a customized workshop design. She also shared a LOT of great insights based on helping me to assess my own style, taking me out to shoot in the kinds of locations suited to my needs, and then providing interactive coaching and feedback. As a result of taking her workshop, I am going to become a much better photographer. Even before the course was done, I had already made significant improvements. I highly recommend her services." -Darren Olson, June 25th
