TESTIMONIALS
Tad Hargrave
"Stasia is the kind of photographer that people get on a plane and fly to see. I think she's one of the most remarkable photographers I've ever met and her ability to capture and even define the west coast aesthetic is incredible. The chance to work with her, after seeing her work in Folk Life Magazine, was a dream. She has such an easy way about her that had the process feel relaxed and playful and I am in love with the results." - Tad Hargrave, Founder, www.marketingforhippies.com
Jamie Sterling, of Southern Gulf Islands Tourism
“We’ve worked with Stasia for several years and she continues to impress us. She has an intuitive understanding of our brand and purpose, and her ability to connect with people shines through in every photo. We consistently hear positive feedback from those she photographs. Her presence puts people at ease and it shows in her images, which are not only beautiful but full of life and meaning.
Beyond her talent, Stasia is lovely to work with: kind, communicative, organized, and always going above and beyond. We are so grateful to collaborate with her.”

“Stasia captures the most magical moments-- or is she helping to create them?? I'm never quite sure, but she's definitely magic. We've loved every shoot we've ever done with her!”
Tracey Murphy, Family Session
“With such admiration for her artistic work, I felt fortunate to book a session for my daughter’s graduation photos with a small hope that there might be time for a few family photos. I should clarify that our family includes a sweet but sassy dog and a wiggly cat. Stasia is, without question, a consummate professional—punctual, transparent with pricing, and efficient with time. Stasia's communication is exemplary; she took the time to learn about our lives, interests, and hopes for the shoot, and then thoughtfully proposed a location and time frame that fit beautifully.
My daughter and I both tend to freeze in front of a camera—but not with Stasia. Her genuine interest and kind presence created a sense of ease and safety, allowing us to soften, open up, and even play with the camera. She was patient with our entire family, and her sense of humor is delightful, even while she convinced our pup to stick around! What I received was so much more than a photo session: it was a moment for my daughter to be celebrated, our family to be documented with care, and the gift of spending time with such a wonderful woman.worked with Stasia for several years and she continues to impress us.

“Working with Stasia Garraway on our wedding and engagement photos was such a delight! She is an incredibly warm person, professional and talented and will go to great lengths (like hanging off a cliff in her sneakers) to get the best photos. We loved her candid approach in capturing beautiful moments and how easy it was to feel comfortable and like ourselves with her. She’s such a great wedding photographer and person that we’ve since become friends! We are so grateful for so many reasons to have found her and can’t recommend her enough for anyone’s special day”

Stasia's photos are always incredible. They are poetic and imaginative, capturing the authentic story of place and person. Working with her is both imaginative and comfortable, as she offers gentle recommendations and a clear vision in her work. I've been lucky enough to work with Stasia on personal and professional projects and I highly recommend her as a photographer!
