Client Reviews

Dhakshayini was a pleasure to work with from our first interaction. We were referred to her by another photographer and she was efficient at responding, super knowledgeable and flexible to adjust her services to our needs. It is always a bit nerve wracking working with a new photographer but she made our team feel comfortable in front of the camera and everyone in our office was pleased with the results. We would absolutely work with her or recommend her to anyone else looking for branding photos. Thanks again Dhakshayini!

— Situate Inc.

Working with Dhakshayini on my brand shoot was a fantastic experience. She immediately understood my vision and brought it to life with creativity and professionalism. I appreciated her flexible availability for location shoots, and her quick turnaround on edits was a huge help with my launch timeline. The images and video perfectly captured the editorial feel I wanted, and her attention to detail in both shooting and retouching was excellent. I’d recommend her to any brand looking for high quality visual storytelling.

— Rhodes Mosaic

I cannot say enough about how incredible it is to work with Dhakshayini. Her professionalism with my clients, her creativity and thoughtfulness on shoots, and her openness and ability to communicate through ideas and timelines. I love her style and feel Edmonton is lucky to have her eye! I have no reason to ever change who I use for all types of personal and work photography needs.
