Nadine Priestley Photography

We hired Nadine to take multi-generational pictures to celebrate a 90th birthday.  For years, we admired our neighbor's holiday photo cards (photo taken by Nadine) where their family photos were cheerful and relaxed.  Nadine is certainly a talented photographer with a keep eye for detail, moreover, though she creates a calm environment making those she photographs feel at ease.  This ability to make others feel comfortable and relaxed carries over to her photo shoot.  The result are spectacular photos and very satisfied clients.

I  am a floral designer and I just had the pleasure of working a wedding with Nadine in Santa Cruz.  Weddings can be stressful but having a photographer who is present, calm, light hearted with a great sense of humor can change the tone of everything. This is Nadine. She knows that she is capturing memories and creating a narrative of a major life event and isn't that what you'd want? The photos of the wedding are the one things that last well beyond the party. If I were the bride, I'dwant someone who could capture the thrill, the love and the best of connections from my wedding. This is Nadine.

We had a wonderful experience with Nadine and her photos are fabulous.  She had to wrangle 19 adults and 3 toddlers and managed to stay calm and relaxed throughout.  Everyone in our group was amazed at her patience.  We hope to make our photo session with her an annual event.  Just a complete pleasure and she had our terrific photos ready for viewing very quickly.  Could not recommend more highly!

We asked Nadine to create a family portrait for us -- three generations, including a very active granddaughter. We had a great photo shoot, a lot of fun picking out the photos to keep, and I was the "very smart person" who brought her to the project. We recommend her often to our friends, and would use her again to preserve moments that matter.
