I highly recommend this business as well as our Photographer, Sora Gazzaneo. She was very responsive to my online request and the booking process went smoothly. She arrived on time and had a friendly and approachable demeaner, which made us feel at ease throughout the session. She was a master behind the camera and very professional, making the photo shoot a fun experience. Sora really captured both our personalities and our best angles. We are very pleased with the quality of our photos, individually and as a Musical Duo. We greatly appreciate her time and excellent photography skills.

It was a wonderful experience working with Michie. She was on time and helped us capture some beautiful moment of our special day. After our photo shoot We hired her for our wedding ceremony on a short notice but she was available for us and made us comfortable as our day went by. We will cherish the special moments through our photos forever, and we would like to thank Michie for providing us with that experience.

Everything was perfect. Sora works so well with people. She is very personable and incredibly easy to work with. Her work is phenomenal! We were so happy that we chose her for our little wedding. My husband is very shy and doesn't usually like his picture taken. He loved how comfortable he felt with her. We can't express enough how happy we were with the whole experience.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I’m open minded, fun and outgoing. Love working with people and bringing out their personalities to be able to portray it through the camera!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Firstly I send out a message to check availability for a consultation, it can be either a phone call or video call. This allows me to get to know the client and vice versa, and to better understand the vision and work that they have in mind. After that I send over the proposal, contract, & invoice. The client signs and confirms the date & time of the shoot! After that we meet up on the discussed date & time, where I create a safe and comfortable environment for the client(s) can feel confident in front of the camera!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Attended and graduated from University of Houston with a BA in Communications with an emphasis in Media Production and a minor in English. Explored everything from TV production, videography, cinematography, script writing, photography, editing, graphic design, and many other fields. Also have acquired a lot of experience through out my years of freelancing.
