Tavits Photography LLC is a crew of professional and freelance photographers who all share the same passion for the craft. 

Led by Tavits himself, they have built a good reputation in their ten years as a high-end company with their multi-disciplinary approach.

Each member of the group is skilled in a particular genre of photography. We love that they all have something unique to bring to the table, which gives them the upper hand over their competitors. 

Their skillset includes weddings, branding, architecture, lifestyle, boudoir, and the whole nine yards. We noticed through their portfolio that they’re more inclined to commercial advertising and large-scale events like corporate, concerts, and sports.

Some of their work have been featured in The Wallstreet Journal and Canon. They are also endorsed by Hilton Phoenix Tapatio Cliffs Resort, a regular venue for events they cover. 

What we like most about them is that their price range is as diversified as their portfolio, making it suitable for all kinds of budgets. That said, note that they rates run a little higher than most for destination services.

They also have an in-house makeup department and videographers, if you prefer not to outsource.

We’ve heard that they’re also very professional with timelines, and adjust accordingly even in fast-paced scenarios. It’s no wonder why most of their repeat customers are other companies.

All in all, they run the gamut from intimate and private celebrations to high-profile events and everything in between. For us, this puts them at the forefront of the photography scene in Phoenix.

Sydney Sherman takes on a different angle with her photography – infusing her experience as a graduate of Fine Art Photography, entrepreneurial skills, and fondness with the mundane aspects of life.

With 20 years of experience out in the field, she is most knowledgeable in headshots, lifestyle portraits, and branding photography. She also has a fully-equipped home studio so you wouldn’t have to worry about renting one.

Photoshoots are made even more convenient since she has a wardrobe of basic outfits ready on-hand, plus hair and make-up add-ons. 

Browsing through her portfolio, we love that the portraits morph from one to another according to vision and intent. We think the personality of each  client shines through with every photo, from whimsical and evocative to edgy and striking. 

Still, they maintain the same level of quality and branding unique to her. However, she doesn’t currently offer weddings, parties, and other types of event photography.

On the other hand, we’ve heard she’s a joy to work with because of her warm and kind personality, especially with families. Among her usual clients are families, couples, high school seniors, professionals, children, and even four-legged critters.

When it comes to lead times, it usually takes two to five business days for headshots and up to two-and-a-half weeks for family and senior portraits. Rush services are also available if you’re pressed for time, which is great.

Overall, she’s an expert in her craft and a breeze to work with. If you’re looking for portraits with a lot of personality, we think she’s the best choice.

Photographers and husband-and-wife tandem Keith and Melissa come as a package deal in their self-named photography service. In the course of their 25-year experience, they’ve found their niche in documentary-style and purpose-driven photography.

We think their portfolio is telling of what they’re like as a couple – unobtrusive, simple, yet profound. Their wedding and travel photos stand out the most for us, hinting at their knack for story-telling and adventure.

Besides those mentioned, they also capture portraits, celebrations, newborn babies, and maternity shoots. Documenting emotions in their rawest form seems to be their specialty, and their clients concur.

We’ve heard that they’re hands-on with their service and are open to special requests – all to make the experience personalized.

One of their clients is an event planner who first hired them for family portraits, and eventually made them their go-to for countless weddings and events. They’re known for being cooperative and mindful of time, which eases the burden of organizing an event.

Through their craft, they also give their time and dedication to local charities and non-profit organizations for sick and at-risk youth. We always love when a business, even as small as theirs, gives back to its community.

All things considered, we do want to point out that commercial photography isn’t their strong suit. If that’s what you’re looking for, you won’t find product and brand photos in their portfolio.

Ultimately, this dynamic duo has the eye and heart for detail in capturing life’s biggest moments.

Jennifer Stewart is a one-woman team in her own photography service, specializing in portraiture. With over 12 years of experience, she has helped entrepreneurs and business professionals elevate their branding.

She believes that showcasing one’s personality doesn’t stop at taking great photos, but on what to post next. The goal is to engage the target audience through a well-thought-out feed and online presence.

We love that she focuses on the bigger picture – pun intended – and helps in building a coherent brand through a collection of curated photos. 

Upon browsing her portfolio, most of her clientele are working professionals, athletes, and fitness gurus. Her portraits aren’t limited to the usual smiles and rigid poses, but also explore movement and dynamics.

Because of this, she’s also captured athletes out on the field. Sports photography is a whole genre in itself, and her work shows a lot of promise as far as we can tell.

We also heard clients enjoying the experience of collaborating with her and how she genuinely cares about their vision. We think this trait has proven valuable and it shows in the finished product.

She also has proven work with general consumers such as family portraits, maternity shoots, and engagement photos. However, turnaround times usually take 10 to 14 days from shortlisting photos.

That said, we’re not completely confident in her event photography experience, so take note of this. Also, make sure you secure your booking in advance, as being a one-woman team can mean limited capacity.

If you’re looking for a professional who’s going to stick with you from planning to execution, she’s your gal. Whether or not you’re building a brand, we think she’s a pro at making your vision come to life.

Harrison Hurwitz Photography is another husband-and-wife photographer duo based in Phoenix. As a native of New York, Harrison spent the first ten years of his photography career in fashion and celebrity shoots, which is impressive.

His wife Michelle is a gallerist who used to create and sell works of fine art but eventually found her footing with photography. Joining forces, their works are defined by their unique blend of creativity owing to their different backgrounds.

They specialize in editorial, fashion, portraits, and events based on their past works. We like that they’re not afraid to experiment with colors and composition, which is great if you’re looking for a creative spin on things.

We’ve heard that they have a way of making people look their best naturally, as opposed to the contrived look we try to avoid when taking photos. You can expect to look good with minimal effort if you’re not used to being in front of the camera.

When it comes to fashion and editorial, some of their notable clients include Nike, L’Oreal Cosmetics, Cisco, Microsoft, and the Arizona Opera. 

On the other hand, they have covered a variety of corporate events, both indoors and outdoors. They also shoot private celebrations like weddings and family parties – but you’ll have to request this specific portfolio if you’re interested.

Last but not the least, their base prices are competitive for each of their packages. They also laid the groundwork for scouting great locations, hair and makeup, and stylists.

Recognized by various organisations in the field for their exemplary services, past clients have commended her for their comfortable experience with her and satisfactory deliverables when it comes to the output.

Christi Schuman is a photographer based in Phoenix, Arizona.

She is a one-stop shop for professional photography since she can shoot families with their little ones, engagement photos, weddings, newborns, as well as headshots for professionals.

While she only has over 4 years of professional photography experience, we think you shouldn’t be fooled and discredit her just yet because she has an impeccable portfolio.

We find her to be extremely talented and we’re impressed by the range of photography that she can do.

Proof of her talent is the fact that her work has been featured in Forbes Magazine in December 2021/January 2022 special edition, VoyagePhoenix Magazine in June 2022 and Shoutout Arizona January 2023.

Because she’s relatively new to the scene, there are very few reviews about her online so it’s difficult to know about other people’s experiences working with her.

We think she’s one to watch and we highly recommend!

Jussara Sandoval is another one of Arizona’s best photographers.

Capturing moments through her camera lens is a way for her to preserve life’s most previous memories, and that’s what she hopes to do for each of her clients.

For any special day or memory, we think she’d be a smart choice for a photographer. Whether it be your wedding day, your engagement, seniors, pregnancy, milestones and family growing—she can help you immortalize these moments.

We absolutely love how her photos turn out each time. Each one evokes emotions and feelings, and they’re just absolutely beautiful.

We like how she pays a great deal of attention to detail and how easy it is to work with her.

We highly recommend!
