"Simone photographed my senior solo art exhibition in the CCS gallery on UCSB campus. My favorite photo she took was of me reading a book in front of a painting, where she thought it would be fun for me to mimic the pose of the painted figure, and it turned out so well! I use it for all my artist materials such as my website and is a great artist photo to hand out."

“Simone photographed our Mega Challah Bake last year and truly captured the heart and energy of the event. Simone was incredibly thorough, taking everything from individual portraits to wide shots of the full event, as well as candid moments that really told the story of the evening."
