### Reviews

**★★★★★ — Bray & Scarff, April 2017**

> Susie does a great job! She is prompt, professional, and a pleasure to work with. I think you will enjoy working with her too.

**★★★★★ — Stefanie Steines, March 2017**

> We hired Susie to take pictures of our house for a rental website.  She was prompt, efficient, professional, and affordable.  We highly recommend Susie Soleimani!

**★★★★★ — Spectrum Design + Build, Feb. 2017**

> We've been using Susie for our Architectural-Design photography for several years; and will continue to use her in the future. A consummate professional with a keen eye for the details and capturing the space. She also takes the time to to review with us - and ask questions - before the shoot(s) what we are trying to get out of the final shots based on the transformation of the project and what we've done with the project remodel.

**★★★★★ — Virginia Mtn Woodworks Custom Furniture & Cabinets, Feb. 2017**

> Love Susie - Great photography of our furniture and cabinet projects!  Highly recommend her for any of your photography needs without hesitation!

**★★★★★ — Joseph Seriki, Feb. 2017**

> Susie is flexible, hardworking and extremely talented. Her photography skills are fantastic. Great photography and wonderful customer service. Susie's pictures make my properties come alive. I will continue to use her and recommend her services to anyone needing professional photography.

**★★★★★ — Jared Pettinato, Feb. 2017**

> Ms. Soleimani produced great photos that quickly helped me find potential renters for my basement apartment. She showed up promptly and worked quickly. It did not take Ms. Soleimani long to pick out the right lenses to frame the space. I appreciated her eye and her perspective. The results demonstrate her effectiveness: I was not receiving much response using my own photos, but hers immediately brought potential renters. I appreciated her help, and I would engage her again.

**★★★★★ — alaw1114, Oct. 2015**

> Susie is AMAZING! I am the Director of Client Services at Washington Woodworking and I am responsible for keeping our website and social media up to date. I needed a photographer to capture our high end commercial spaces to update our internet presence. Susie has photographed 5 locations and we will continue to call on her when we have locations to photograph. Susie also took the photographs of our personnel and our group photo. She was great with our team and everyone enjoyed having her around. Susie is prompt, professional, truly enjoys her work and is a joy to be around. I highly recommend her services to anyone who needs a photographer!

**Comment from Susie Soleimani Photography:**

> Thank you for the kind words. I love working with you as well and look forward to photographing more of your beautiful projects.

**★★★★★ — All Eco Design Center, Oct. 2015**

> Susie did a beautiful job in photographing a kitchen remodel we performed. Her sense of lighting as well as how capturing the space through a lens is unique and the end result came out great. Thank you Susie for capturing our work so beautifully!

**Comment from Susie Soleimani Photography:**

> Thanks very much! It was my pleasure photographing your beautiful work. Looking forward to working with you again.

**★★★★★ — oposlina2012, May 2015**

> I worked with Susie on several listings. She is my go to photographer when I have a special listing, that requires attention to detail;s and really good quality photos. She is always responsive and fast with deliverables.

**Comment from Susie Soleimani Photography:**

> Thanks so much! Always a pleasure working with you as well. :-)

**★★★★★ — FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build, May 2015**

> Susie Soleimani Photography has style, spunk, fashion, skill, elegance, beauty, symmetry, lighting - she has it all and she gives her all. We are very happy with her photos and can't be happier with the work she's done on a luxury custom house we recently finished in Bethesda, MD. The cherry on top is that she's fun to work with. And the sprinkles on top of that is she's flexible. Hire Susie if you want professional photographs. You won't regret it! We're thrilled and looking to have her shoot more of our projects.

**Comment from Susie Soleimani Photography:**

> Thanks so much for the lovely words. It was an absolute pleasure working with you as well. I very much look forward to photographing more of your gorgeous work.

**★★★★★ — Sharon, Feb. 2015**

> Susie recently photographed three rooms in a home I have been working on. She was very efficient as she went about her work, yet never appeared to be rushing anything. She was knowledgeable about what angles make good shots and provided helpful suggestions for how to achieve photos that would let the rooms shine. She was lovely to work with, prompt, courteous, and professional. The completed photos were ready in 48 hours and I was thrilled with them. I will definitely use Susie again.

**Comment from Susie Soleimani Photography:**

> Thanks Sharon! I very much enjoyed working with you as well. Looking forward to capturing more of your projects!

**★★★★★ — zelda5000, Nov. 2014**

> I hired Susie to take photos of our rental property so it would seem more appealing to potential renters.  My husband and I had received feedback that our pictures did not do the place justice and I knew a professional would help and we would also have photos for the future as well.
>
> I was very happy with the Susie's work and felt she had a very reasonable rate.  I was able to set up a time for her to come out to the property quickly which was fantastic.  She was also very responsive in regards to communication.  Susie took great photos and that highlighted the best features of our property and we received them very quickly.  She was also very friendly, personable, and easy to work with.  I am certainly considering using her services again in the future.
