Hired on Thumbtack

We hired Mani to do a photoshoot for our daughter’s 6 month milestone. We appreciated her having flexibility for our specific date, and also traveling far without an expensive travel fee. Mani wasted no time taking detail shots of the nursery while we got our daughter ready. She was also patient with our daughter considering she’s still a baby. Her shot selection was great and had a nice mix of candid and posed shots, taking advantage of the natural lighting. I also appreciated getting all the raw images, which was a big point for us when deciding on a photographer. Overall our experience with Mani was very smooth and we love the shots that came out. Thanks again!

Details: Family or children's portrait • Candid (captured in the moment) • Artistic (focus on composition, lighting) • Home • My home, venue, etc.

Hired on Thumbtack

I was looking for a photographer for a birthday pictorial and found Mani on the Thumbtack app. She responded very quickly, and we were able to schedule the session right away. She was very professional and communicated clearly with me before the shoot. On the day of the session, she arrived early and was very organized. I’m not usually comfortable posing for pictures, but she made me feel at ease and helped guide me so I could achieve the look I had in mind for my inspiration photos. All of the pictures turned out beautiful and exactly how I envisioned them. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great photographer.

Details: Solo portrait • Candid (captured in the moment) • Artistic (focus on composition, lighting) • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Outdoors • My home, venue, etc.
