    “We booked Tracey for a mini session in Sebastopol. Booking, reminder and location instructions were super easy to follow. We arrived and pretty much started right away. She was relaxed, warm and put everyone at ease quickly. Two weeks later (as promised) we received our beautiful images. Lighting, composition and variety of images were exactly what I’d hoped for. Thank you Tracey!”

    “Tracey was our photographer for our maternity and newborn photos. Everything turned out beautifully and she was great to work with! She picked the perfect beach spot for our maternity photos and listened to our ideas then added even more great ones. The price was very reasonable for the package maternity + newborn photos. I won't hesitate to use her again in the future as our kids grow up!”

    “I've worked with Tracey on multiple shoots now —she captured gorgeous photos of our family, took my professional yet creative headshots, and took phenomenal photos of my daughter in magical settings and costumes. She is patient and thoughtful about posing and feeling, and she works excellently with kids and families. I cannot recommend Tracey enough!”
