“Whenever someone needs a great photograph, I recommend Ingrid Pape-Sheldon. Generally, I am not particularly photogenic, but Ingrid has made me look great, over and over again, for about ten years. I was impressed with her the first time we ever talked, because she took the time to get to know me and to learn about my business before she took the pictures for my business card. That process made the photo true to who I am and what I do. And I get compliments about her photos regularly, usually when I give someone my business card. I highly recommend Ingrid Pape-Sheldon!”

“I had the most incredible experience working with Ingrid for a ‘girlfriends’ photoshoot that was all about body positivity, inner beauty, and reclaiming confidence. From the moment I walked in, she made me feel truly seen, comfortable, and celebrated.

Her studio is cozy, welcoming, and beautifully set up, with a private area where I could do my makeup and get ready. She was so hospitable — offering refreshments, snacks, and the kindest energy. You can tell she genuinely cares about the women she photographs and creates a space where you feel safe, empowered, and free to express yourself.

The shoot itself was amazing. Ingrid has a gift for guiding you into poses that feel natural and flattering, and she brings out the softness, strength, and beauty in you that you may have forgotten was there. It truly felt like a healing experience.

I walked away feeling more confident, beautiful, and connected to myself than I have in a long time.

I highly recommend Ingrid for any empowerment or portrait experience — and she’s also phenomenal for branding photography for individuals or businesses. Her professionalism, warmth, and artistic eye are unmatched.

If you’re thinking about booking with her… do it. You will not regret it.”

“I absolutely love working with Ingrid and have used her for my portrait and product photography since 2015. The two photos attached to this review are just two of many wonderful ones I have had taken by Ingrid.

Ingrid creates a lovely atmosphere for each of her photoshoots -- the space becomes rather magical, really, as you step into this artistic and creative environment where you both work together to get images that capture not only your unique outer beauty, but also your inner beauty.

In looking at other portraits and work that Ingrid has done, I always find that the images look fresh and modern and timeless. This is partly because Ingrid is an artist and superb at her craft. It's also because Ingrid and Frank of Ingrid Pape-Sheldon Photography keep up with the times and have adapted to the world with virtual photography and other technologies that keep their photography services current. I highly recommend working with this wonderful team.”

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Ingrid from time to time, and I’m always blown away by her incredible attention to detail. She has such a thoughtful, artistic eye, and it really shows in every photo she takes.

Ingrid has also photographed me personally, and I genuinely love the images she captured — which says a lot, because I’m not usually a fan of photos of myself. Somehow, she managed to make me feel completely at ease, and the result was a set of portraits that truly reflect who I am.

She has a real gift for bringing out the best in people, both in front of the camera and in her work behind it. I always look forward to collaborating with her and can’t recommend her highly enough.”

“I would highly recommend Ingrid for your business or personal photos--she has a unique ability to help you relax, look like your best self, and capture it on camera! I love her work, and that whenever I see these images, it really feels like me!”

—Libby Wagner

“This is the second time I have asked Ingrid to photograph me for my website. She is an excellent portrait photographer technically but she can also get the best picture out of me! She has a way of making me feel comfortable that results in photos that are genuine and intelligent. She also has an intuition about how I should dress and accessorize to match the tone of my website. This allows me to use the photograph for years because I don't look “out of date.”
