About Shutter&soul by mani
Please ONLY message me if you have a serious inquiry!!! If you’re looking for a quote please DM on IG. Please view my IG @shutterandsoul_by_mani to see more of my work! Hi! I’m Manisha, and photography isn’t just what I do it’s who I am. I specialize in portraits that capture the real, candid beauty of people, but I also love photographing all kinds of events, turning every moment into a memory you can cherish forever. Every photo I take is about more than just a picture it’s about telling your story, celebrating your emotions, and freezing those joyful, heartfelt moments in time. I love making people feel comfortable, happy, and themselves in front of the camera, so the moments I capture are natural, genuine, and timeless. Photography is my passion and my joy, and I believe every smile, laugh, and glance has a story. I would love to help you tell yours.

Mani was such a professional and did an amazing job!
I enjoy working with her and I will be using her again soon
Mani is such a kind, beautiful soul to work with... the value she provided is deeply appreciated. I wish I had communicated better my background in media/marketing, so she knew before her arrival what imagery I was aiming for more efficiently, and wouldn't have spent as much of her own time and efforts creating image ideas/samples. If/when I am back in this area, I will definitely call on her again. Thank you, Mani!
Mani was fantastic! She took wonderful beach pictures (candid & posed) at sunset. She was responsive, professional and recommended a great spot for pictures. She got us our pictures within 48 hours and they were perfect Would definitely work with her again!
Mani was amazing to work with! She came prepared with lots of pose ideas, which made the whole photoshoot so easy and comfortable. She was also very easy to communicate with, professional, and made the entire experience enjoyable. I’m really happy with how everything went and would definitely recommend her!
Mani was AWESOME! So responsive, flexible, and thoughtful. She understood our vision and the photos turned out beautifully. I will definitely use Mani’s services again. She is super talented.
I waited several weeks before writing this review because I was extremely upset and heartbroken over my experience with Shutter & Soul. This was supposed to be a very special moment for me, my son, and his prom date—a memory that we can never get back. I trusted her to capture these moments so that my family could have them for a lifetime, and unfortunately, the service was a total disappointment. I specifically asked her to take a photo of my son getting into the car with his prom date. This was an important shot that I personally requested. She completely missed the moment and did not get the photo. When I asked why she missed it, I was told that people were in her way. However, there was another photographer standing right next to her who was able to capture my son getting into the vehicle with his prom date. That was extremely disappointing and made me question the explanation I was given. There were also many photos taken of me and my family when we were not prepared or aware that we were being photographed. The pictures turned out extremely unflattering and, in my opinion, looked like random phone snapshots rather than professional photography. For what I paid—nearly $500—I honestly feel that I could have taken better photos with my own phone and saved the money. The entire experience was disappointing, especially because this was such an important milestone for my son. I cannot recreate that day or get those moments back. I feel that the quality of the service did not match the price I paid, and I was left extremely unhappy with the final results. Based on my personal experience, I cannot recommend Shutter & Soul for an important event like a prom. If you are considering booking, I strongly recommend being very clear about the specific photos you want captured and making sure you are comfortable with the photographer’s approach before paying.
Mani was wonderful to work with in my photography project. She was on time, so great at communicating, understood the vision, and executed the shoot perfectly! The photos were stunning and I couldn't ask for a sweeter person to work with throughout the process! Thank you Mani! I will call on you again!
I had an amazing experience getting my graduation photos taken! Manisha made me feel so comfortable throughout the session, and the whole experience was fun and stress-free. The pictures turned out absolutely beautiful, and I couldn’t be happier with how she captured such a special moment. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and professional photographer!
We had a special situation regarding the limitations of our pictures, but Manisha was very professional and accommodating. The family had a great time taking the pictures as well. :) Would recommend!
I enjoyed working with Manisha! She really took the time to take amazing photographs and create the portraits I had in mind. She is an amazing photographer to work with and felt very comfortable working with her. I highly recommend her!
If you ever need a photographer get Manisha, she is the best person and best photographer! She does an amazing job and she won't disappoint. I recently had a session with her and she did an incredible , fabulous job on the pictures.
Had a great session with Mani. She met us at our requested price (we were on a budget), for a pre-prom photo shoot. Everyone loved working with her - she was great with all the teens and took some wonderful shots. She was fast to get the edits and pics back to us. Would definitely recommend her!
I hired Mani for a locational photo shoot and had an excellent experience. Mani was punctual, professional and notably skilled as a photographer. Throughout the shoot process, she was courteous, skillful and provided great advice/suggestions for the best results. I was very happy with the photos upon seeing the results a few days later. She is pleasant to work with and I absolutely recommend her services.
It was awesome working with Manisha! She was super responsive and was able to make our schedule and location work, and took some amazing shots. Thank you!
