What people are saying...
I am still raving about her professionalism, creativity and her eye for incredibly unique and interesting shots. As I learned, she is not just a photographer, but also a painter/artist. Somehow this (her being an artist) makes her photography even more artistic and refreshing. I can't say enough about her work.
TaSin is absolutely phenomenal! She greeted us with a kind smile, great energy and a gorgeous portfolio! She had an amazing energy and spirit about her that both my husband and I picked up on and I knew I would feel comfortable shooting with her. The entire wedding experience was so smooth! We met and she was open and understanding to our family dynamics, she scouted the location prior and already had shots in mind, she gave great natural direction and her photographers eyes was spot on!
I am very grateful to have stumbled across TaSin through yes you guessed it, Yelp reviews! I cannot say enough about TaSin and her amazing photography. First of all it was so great to talk to her and get a feel for her relaxed nature and calm demeanor. She was so helpful and sent wardrobe ideas along to me to help me pick out outfits for our family photos. Her best advice..."wear something you love and then dress the rest of your family around you." It rings of great advice because the truth is, "If mama ain't happy, nobody is going to be happy." She also sent along links to some great photo locations and we picked one that we had never been to before (which was a beautiful and wonderful adventure in itself).
From the moment TaSin arrived she had a mission. She was everywhere snapping everything and was quite efficient to be a solo photographer. She was able to snap photos of the decor and still get all of the "must have" shots.
My favorite thing about TaSin is that she has no problem controlling a shot, politely asking nosey guests and entranced family members to step back out of her shot. This is something I really appreciate because the last thing I wanted to see in our wedding photos is our family awkwardly positioned in the pic with their point and shoots, just saying!
TaSin did our 2 day wedding without an assistant, which I know was a daunting task and she performed it efficiently and with a great attitude BOTH days! TaSin exceeded my expectations by leaps and bounds.
I am so happy with my photos and experience. Tasin was able to fit me into her schedule with very short notice and delivered on gorgeous digital pictures in 2 days. The quality of her photographs are amazing; I particularly like Tasin's eye for color and warmth. Tasim coached me through the pictures and make sure I look my best. I highly recommend 4 any of your portrait needs.
