I recently worked with Paul for the 2nd time for my professional portrait for my business, both digital and print. He is a true professional. Paul asks great questions and listens. Then he does his magic. He is a master at finding out your features you like and don't like. After the shoot, he pulls out the best and lets you pick your favorites. Then he retouches the pictures with your desired outcome. I thought the originals looked very good but when I saw the retouched photos I was even more thrilled. I am a very satisfied customer and highly recommend Paul Sivley Photography!
Description of Work: For the 2nd time, Paul took my professional portrait for my business use.

Paul did a fantastic job on my professional pictures, I am very pleased. The location was perfect, the lighting and angles helped create a picture that personified what I was trying to convey as a professional. I was immediately impressed when I received such a prompt reply to my inquiry about Paul's services. Paul sends a questionnaire that helps him understand not only what photographs you want to achieve but also how you view the process and what helps make you feel comfortable. I have received many compliments on the final photographs and have already started discussing our next session.

There are so many photographers out there that it?s hard to find a really good one! Paul Sivley is a true artist; his photography is breathtaking?and he takes very good professional photos. I was in need of a professional head shot for my website, linkedIn page and other marketing tools, I contacted Paul. He spent the time to get to know me, the uses for my photo, my expectations and had numerous questionnaires in order to capture ?me.? When I arrived at the studio, he was playing my favorite music, which totally relaxed me. What a wonderful experience! I loved the results and had a hard time narrowing down; there were so many good photos. I ended up selecting two photos and love them both! If you want the personal touch and someone who will take the time to get to know you call Paul.

Thank you Paul! I hate to have my picture made. I always dislike the outcome. I am just not photogenic. Not this time! Paul Sivley has created a professional portrait I love. He gave me great direction. He took all the time needed to make sure the pose and wardrobe were just right. After the session he sent me a lot of choices to review before he deadline I had asked him to meet.. A true professional.

Paul's work is breathtaking and he is the consummate professional!
Description of Work: Hanging on my wall in my office is a “Sivley.” It is a beautiful portrait of two young children in Burma that Paul Sivley captured on one of his travel excursions. The scene inspires me and his work is breath taking. It is often a point of conversation with my clients. I often use it as an inspiration for in-depth conversations in coaching my career clients. It is amazing how the expressions of the students reach from the canvas and inspire examination of motives, values and ideals. Paul and his work are surely a contribution to my success!

If you are looking for portrait photography, look no further! Paul Sivley's work is absolutely stunning and he is a real artist when it comes to portrait and architectural photography. I am really impressed with his work, and his involvement in the community. Paul’s studio is really nice and he is set up with all the right lighting and the latest equipement., and he’s willing to go on location or travel for photo shoots. He is a master at lighting and editing and he has a rare work integrity, seldom found these days. I highly recommend Paul Sivley for all and any photography needs one may have.

Working with Paul was the best photographic experience I have ever had. He will be my photographer for life!
Description of Work: I hate to have my picture taken! I always dread the process and the outcome. In April of 2010 after months of arguing with myself that I needed to have a new image for my website I called Paul Sivley. Paul calmed me quickly by giving me all the facts and then providing me with a questionaire that I could complete. He asked me questions I had not even thought about. Before I had completed the questionaire I knew I had made the right choice. Paul was going to give me what I wanted not just what he saw. He even asked me what kind of music I would like him to play in the studio during the shoot (WOW!). He has a lovely and well equipped studio. He took his time but didn't waste time in getting all the images needed to insure I would have one I really liked. He gave me a timeframe when I could expect the product and kept it. Now, for the best part of all, the photos were amazing! I actually loved several of them. I was so proud to put them on my website. Since then, I have had numerous compliments. No fear of photography ever again! Thank you Paul!
