Of all the photos in my phone's library it was the image of me that Shoey took that he loved the best and chose for his lock screen...truly a win!

Shoey is such a fun photographer to work with! She has a special talent to capture the moment with an eye for all the details that are important, like helping with styling your outfit or suggesting a beautiful location. I had her take family photos before we knew of the COVID-19 Pandemic and seeing those family photos made our time easier being unable to travel and gather in person. She is so professional and great with headshot portraits too. I highly recommend her!

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.

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!

I'm looking forward to my next special occasion, largely so I can have a great excuse to hire Shoey again!
Seriously, I saw an an amazing portrait photo of a woman that Shoey had done a session for a couple years ago. I looked Shoey up, and after seeing her website, I called her that same day and hired her immediately.
At first, I was just going to do a quick headshot session... and now 2 years later, Shoey has done all the photography for my own professional website, and also was my wedding photographer last summer!
Shoey really listens, and works with her clients to come up with creative, artistic, unforgettable images!

Shoey listened well to what I wanted in pictures of the family including close up photos, outside, and laughing. She has a great eye! Can not say enough about how happy I am with her photography!!!

I am not someone who typically enjoys having his portrait taken, but I had a wonderful time in Shoey's charming studio. She was easygoing and approachable, kind, and complimentary, and I came away with a some wonderful images. As well as a good memory. Highly recommended!

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.

Shoey was great work with. She was very communicative with us throughout the process. During the event, she interacted comfortably and warmly with guests and made people feel at ease. The final product of posed and candid shots was exactly what we were hoping for. Highly recommend Shoey.
