Highly recommended.”

The details, it is as though she just sees more than any other photographer we had used in the past. One minute she is in the balcony, and next, standing in the crowd. As a performer with lights in our eyes, we sometimes miss the excitement of the fans beyond the first few rows. We have hired her a few times and is now our go-to photographer.”
