We hired Sarah to capture our small wedding ceremony and take posed photos afterwards. She was professional from the first message! Great communication in regard to discussing her process, listening to our wishes, and providing a timeline of what to expect from the first call through delivering the final product. She made us feel at ease during the photos, giving us prompts to help get natural reactions and beautiful pictures. We got over 350 photos for a 2 hour session and the results are exactly what I had hoped to get! I would absolutely work with her again and have already sent her contact info to friends who attended the wedding and were impressed as well!

Sarah right away was responsive to questions and emails sent before the session. She was flexible as to the time and place. The session went well even though we had 5 children under the age of 2 with 3 babies! Sarah didn't let the crying babies stop her from trying to get that perfect picture. It was a beautiful day to remember. I highly recommend Sarah as your next photographer!
Sarah was wonderful for us to work with! She understood the unique needs we had, and was very flexible. Also, she worked with calm and patience, which added to the setting. We would recommend her!
Sarah from Smoen Photography was excellent!! Highly recommend. We hired Sarah for taking our wedding pictures. He work quality was great she made our day even more special by taking such good pictures of our memories. Thank you so much Sarah!
Excellent experience and final product. We used her for our baby girls 1 year photo shoot. Amazing photos that we will treasure. I appreciated the direction during the shoot and her knowledge of where to shoot (did Minnehaha Falls) - Would recommend her and would hire again!
Wow we are so happy we went with Simone photography for our wedding! Sarah made it easy and fun and she was always in the right place getting good photos. Hire her for your events, you will not regret it!
We were so fortunate to have found Sarah, especially within our timeline and budget! She was such a joy to work with, every picture we received was gorgeous, and the turnaround for our gallery was lightning fast! Perfect for brides on a budget, but I'd recommend her to anyone!
Sarahis an amazing photographer. I highly recommend her as she will do exactly what you want and more. She truly went above and beyond for my family’s special day.
Sarah was so wonderful to have as a photographer! She works with your timeline and communicates before the big day even begins! On my wedding day she captured so many moments and was helpful and organized for the posed photos.
Somehow, you found a way to capture every important moment on camera. I envy your skills and would like to thank you for doing such a great job for us!
Sarah is a remarkable photographer, and she made us feel comfortable in a potentially awkward situation (we are not regular attendees of photoshoots). Her rate is ridiculously reasonable and you should hire her so hard. She gave us so many beautiful photos, guided us with poses, and helped us feel comfortable and pretty. She captured exactly what we were hoping to achieve and knows her way around the sites in Minnesota, so once we picked a place, she organized the shoot around its best features. Hire her! I know we will again.
Very courteous, professional and friendly. She explained it would take about 2 weeks to edit photos and get them back to us, and that is what she did- setting the expectation was helpful. The value of what she charged was also great! Thank you!
We had a wonderful experience working with her on my daughter's senior picture shoot. She had great ideas for pictures as well as was receptive for ideas that we had for pictures.
If you are looking for someone to take pictures for your wedding look no further than Sarah. She is an absolute professional, she showed up to the venue 30min early to find scenes for our photos. Sarah had fun ideas for pictures and was receptive to any ideas we had for photos. Sarah also stayed late to help capture our day and make it truly special. Thank you Sarah for helping us capture memories that we can share forever!
My husband and I got our photos done for our one year anniversary and they turned out beautiful.
Besides she is good at photographing, I loved her style and kindness with us in such an especial moment moment of our lives - maternity photos. She was very quick on answering me back every time I reached out with questions. She gave me the guidance I needed to get prepared for the photos. She was careful on preparing in advance, even with short notice, making the experience smooth for me and my husband. Thank you so much, Sarah
