what my clients are saying.
“Saphren did some head shots for me last year, and they were absolutely fantastic to say the least! During the shoot, she was so easy to work with, and made me feel more comfortable in front of a camera than I usually am. She even got the photos to me a week earlier than expected! I've used the photos for various posters & professional profiles since then - loved the results!”
— Tiffany Chen, music teacher
“Saphren is very professional, produces high quality results, and is an all-around joy to work with! I would and have recommended her photography business to people I know, and she never fails to deliver stunning shots.

The results for that shoot were amazing and I am very happy with my photos!”
