About
Each business has a core competence that drives its strategy, its products and services. Each individual, couple or group has its unique character. From real estate to weddings, from corporate events to product photography, my work brings out the character of my subjects and articulates the key message that needs to go out.
Photography is not only my job, but my way of life. I strive to see in different ways and capture the essence of a subject. I am fond of capturing the truth of a moment that helps create the most memorable artefacts.

Shoshana was a great photographer. So professional and patient with my 2 hyperactive toddlers. She is very easy going and makes you feel comfortable the whole time during the shoot. The family portraits turned beautiful and we look forward to using her services again.

I decided at the last minute to have a photographer at my daughter & son in laws baby shower. It was literally the day before. Within a few hours I worked with Moments by Shoshana to make the arrangements and not only did I have one photographer there to capture our special day but there were 2. They spent 5 hours as I had two seatings. It was held outdoors and a little chilly but they stayed the entire time. I received the gallery of beautiful photographs, fully edited, within 1 week. I highly recommend them for your special event!
Details: Bridal or baby shower • 25 - 49 guests • Outdoors • Digital or online download

Loved working with Shoshana! She was very professional and let the way. I didn’t know how to pose and she directed me. The picture came out beautiful!

Shoshanna did a great job! She captured some beautiful family portraits and worked well with my two small kids. She returned images quickly. We had such a great experience!

What a wonderful experience! We scheduled a newborn photography session with Shoshana, she was very professional and flexible! My husband and I are first time parents and of course we were running late, Shoshana didn’t even mention it and still was able to complete the full session. We can’t wait to shoot with her again on our baby’s next session!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Every one of my clients is unique and each project is tailored. As such, my fees are driven by each individual project. I determine my fees based on how much time I anticipate a project will take. This will include the duration of any photo shoot session as well as the editing work involved.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
My process is very simple! I offer free consultation to each one of my clients to better understand what they are looking for. I also share my guides with them ahead of time, to help them prepare for the sessions.
Based on more detailed understanding of what my client is looking for, I offer them various different options if they are interested. I share with them a simple contract detailing the service, the date and other details for full transparency, and I expect my clients to sign the contract.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
In addition to my undergraduate degree, I completed a full professional photography program at the Washington School of Photography.
