Margot was punctual had all of her equipment ready and organized. I would use her again for any project. **★★★★★ — Peninsula Modern, Aug. 2017** > I needed a photographer for my Interior business and Margot was great to work with. She is talented on shoot and with post production. I plan to use her again on my future projects. **★★★★★ — FLAIR, May 2017** > Margot was a pleasure and very easy to work with. She is very professional and prompt, courteous and patient. Her prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend her, you will not be disappointed. **★★★★★ — Fortunata Interiors, Nov. 2016** > Margot is a great photographer to work with. She understands how to photograph quick and smooth, but to stay focussed on quality. > She is a lovely person and we are happy that our paths have crossed. > > We hope to work with her in future projects. **★★★★★ — mvanelder, Nov. 2016** > I had a wonderful time working with Margot! She was efficient, respectful of my creative space, witty and pertinent. I highly recommend her services and would not hesitate to work on a project with her again! **★★★★★ — Cottonwood Design Studio, Nov. 2016** > Margot is not only an incredible photographer but also extremely easy to work with. She came to photograph my house and was friendly and fun to brainstorm with when setting up the shots. She was fast, professional and a pleasure to watch. Being a self-employed entrepreneur myself I appreciate all the subtle and sometimes small things that add up to a great experience with another true professional - before, during and post-shoot. Can't wait to work with her again. Bravo Margot. **★★★★★ — Bibby Gignilliat, Nov. 2016** > Margot was the photographer assigned to photograph my house and garden for Houzz. I was really impressed with her professionalism! She was on time, shot the house very quickly/efficiently and the shots were great. She also took a shot of me for the article and it is one of the best shots I have ever had taken. I am using the shot in many arenas. She was really able to capture the essence of my home and me. On top of it all, she is very easy and fun to work with and brings out the best. I HIGHLY recommend her and would use her again in a heartbeat! **★★★★★ — Nicolo Sertorio, Nov. 2016** > Margot is an incredibly gifted and experienced interior photographer. > She did an outstanding job with the Houzz coverage of our remodeled loft in Oakland, bringing a lot of traffic and attention. > Would not hesitate to recommend her. **★★★★★ — Danenberg Design, Nov. 2016** > Margot does a fantastic job. We recently moved to North Carolina, but while living in the San Francisco Bay Area, we designed remodels for kitchens and baths in a number of suburbs. Margot traveled a good distance to photograph some of them and her photos always came out beautifully! I think the beauty of her work also helped on several occasions to get our work published. > > Once, after she photographed three of our clients' projects in different Northern California towns, I organized a 'kitchen tour' for a number of our clients who were then able to visit one another's projects. The clients loved the tour and we all finished up the tour with dinner together. Some of our clients became friends with one another as well! What fun - and Margot was a part of making it happen! **★★★★★ — buroBois, July 2016** > It was very nice to work with Margot. She did a shoot of one of my projects in Arnhem; http://www.houzz.com/projects/1832916/my-houzz-arnhem-family-home and she did a marvellous job! > I love the way the house shows on the photo's, Margot has a very good eye for detail. **★★★★★ — Deikel Development & Design, July 2016** > We've worked with Margot on several types of projects. Margot simultaneously puts a portrait sitter at ease while creating a beautiful image. She finds the magic in the home and brings it out in her gorgeous interior shots, whether a full layout or a vignette. We've been extremely satisfied with Margot and her team every time we work with her and recommend her to anyone looking for a fabulous photographer. **★★★★★ — Kaylovesvintage, July 2016** > I was contacted by Margot through the Houzz website as she wanted to profile my home for a My Houzz feature. She was friendly and easy to work with, and I love the photos and the final story. It was a pleasure to meet her and I would definitely recommend hiring her as a photographer. ## Selected projects - [My Houzz: Netherlands Houseboat Living](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/my-houzz-netherlands-houseboat-living-pj-vj~5679311) -
