Brady's studio in Benicia is beautiful, great natural lighting and plenty of spots to choose from. She puts you at ease during the shoot, and she asks pertinent questions about your business or occupation, which I really appreciated. As a musician, she asked me what kind of music I play, who is my audience, what kind of mood do I want to portray, and so on. The end result is a fabulous photo that's a home run for me. Finally, the way she uses lighting creates an almost painterly quality to her work, which is really impressive.
Big thanks to Brady Thomas for the incredible photographic experience of bringing our whole team here at Windows & Beyond to her studio at the Benicia Arsenal for our business portraits, some lifestyle headshots and of course, the specialty legacy pet photography of Bria, our Kerry Blue Terrier mascot! Thanks Brady and trusty assistant, Rebecca Troxell!
Brady's process for capturing the essence of her clients is second to none. She's thoughtful and calculated about each step in the process. She had multiple pre-planned shots ready when I showed up at the studio. Her ability to make me feel comfortable and capture what I wanted to convey in the photoshoot exceeded my expectations. If you're in the market for a fantastic photographer who undoubtedly has your best interest at heart, then you need not search any further.
After a series of disappointments, I wanted to renew my sense of self and celebrate my 35th birthday with a photoshoot. I’ve never had a professional photoshoot before, and in a digital age where anyone can take photos from their own phones, I wanted something more. I’m so glad I found Brady. Brady’s impeccable attention to detail, introspective approach, and respectful guidance was better than I can have ever imagined. The photoshoot was such a pampering and creative experience – Brady provided everything from hair and makeup to direction on body postures, and even transformed loose fabric into ballgowns for me – that spontaneity and energy was exactly what I needed. It was fun, heartwarming, and empowering all at the same time. And the results are amazing. Through her lens, she captured my strength and my vulnerability and produced evocative images. I was already in awe when I reviewed the digital files with Brady, but when I received the beautiful keepsake box and flipped through the collection of prints, I was speechless. These are not your typical photos. These are museum quality fine art portraits that I will treasure forever.
I am so happy that I chose Brady to do my professional headshots. I had seen the work she had completed for a friend, and there was no comparison to other photographers. She also did an extensive "interview" beforehand to understand what type of image I was trying to convey to my audience, given these were professional headshots for both my skincare business and notary business. She absolutely nailed both, and it was difficult to decide which ones to choose in the end! I would not hesitate in hiring Brady, and also know without a doubt she will be doing all of my future updates! Thankyou so much Brady!
Brady is an amazing photographer, talented beyond words. She captured me in a way that made me feel beautiful, feminine, yet strong. She was diligent during the photo shoot to get the perfect shot in various poses and settings. She was able to transition me from whimsical and elegant, to sexy and vogue. I felt like a top model in a fashion shoot! I will cherish the photos forever. Thank you Brady Thomas!
