Sydney Prather Photography

I’m a comedian. Or I try to be. Sydney shot some photos of me a few weeks back, and she made me look way more professional and way more funny than I actually am. She had some killer ideas involving tomato’s and she was really fun to work with. Couldn’t recommend her enough!

Sydney is very professional and takes beautiful pictures that captured our families personality. She was great with my 14 year old and new baby. We purchased our first session through Groupon earlier this year, but we have scheduled our next session for the holidays. I would highly recommend Sydney!

I highly recommend Sydney as a family photographer. This is the second year I’ve used her to take our family photos. Last year we took photos at Sunset Cliffs and this year at Presidio Park. My husband and I have three kids (12,10 and 1), a baby on the way, and a dog (we had to include him in the photos!). Sydney took numerous shots during our session: group shots with all of us; my husband with the kids, me with the kids, the kids together, the kids separately, me and my husband together, etc. And last year, she did some cool pregnancy shots. Both times she worked great with our older children and was very patient with our one year old during the last session. Sydney is very easy going and fun to work with. She’s really good at capturing natural shots that highlight our personalities. I love how she uses the scenery and the light in her photography… this is very important to me because I don’t like boring family photos in front of boring backdrops. She also sends the photos within a reasonable amount of time. I definitely plan on using her again after our next baby is born!

Sydney rules! We hired Sydney to take pictures of our family while we were in San Diego on vacation. She was flexible about meeting in Balboa Park. She was great about letting our twin toddlers play and have fun while capturing their energy and craziness. We did not want stiff overly posed photos. She is open to ideas yet offers suggestions as well. She was patient and kind to our twins and to their grandmother as well. I recommend her without reservations!

Sydney is great! I bought a Groupon with her and it was so easy to schedule a photo shoot. I just saw the proofs from our shoot last week, and they are amazing! I’m totally happy with my purchase and choice of photography because she is great! Highly recommend.

Few people have a gift for photography… Sydney has a great eye and a knack for getting the most out her subjects. We love the results!

Sydney is the best… Hands down! We hired her for our wedding in Alabama. She was so discreet, I hardly saw her; all the while capturing the most beautiful, intimate, and elegant photos. She captured moments that my family will cherish forever. Definitely will be using her again!

Sydney has such a keen eye for finding the perfect moment. Her adventurous side takes you to some of the prettiest spots in Southern California, usually creating some great memories and stories to tell as to how you actually got to that ‘perfect spot’. She has such a contagious, happy personality that you quickly feel at ease when posing in front of the camera. Would definitely suggest her to family and friends!

Professional and positive. I am one of those dorky dudes that takes off his glasses and becomes, well, a dork without glasses on.
But Sydney harnessed what is relatable to me and took great pictures accordingly. We took hungover café pics, photos with technology, and even a graveyard scene.
I mentioned positive. This girl will attack you with compliments, and they are all so specificly accurate. She just has an eye for beauty, be it weird or conventional.
She is a ton of fun to spend a shoot with, so give her a shout. Five Stars is an understatement.

Sydney was amazing! My husband and I wanted to do a photo shoot in Pacific Beach to highlight our days living here, as well as to get a few photos for our Christmas card. We were blown away by how professional Sydney was and how comfortable she made us feel. She was very accommodating to us, and included our dog in many of the photos. Sydney was an all-​around blast to be around. Not only was our experience amazing, but the photos couldn’t have turned out better! There were so many great options to choose from for our Christmas card. We will definitely be using Sydney again in the future for all our photography needs!

Sydney is simply amazing. It was very easy to schedule the session. Both of us really enjoyed the photo session with her at Balboa park. She was creative and the pictures were so well done. She was pleasant and I would love to have pictures done with her again.

I hired Sydney for my mother-​in-​laws 70^th birthday after finding her here on Unilocal.I really just organized everything with her via email at the last minute, and I can’t tell you how pleased I was (the whole family was!) with her level of professionalism, demeanor, her ability to put us all at ease, and most importantly… the final product. Our pictures turned out beautifully… and not just one of them, most of them! I can’t not recommend her more highly. She gave us exactly what we were looking for… a shot of the whole family that’s FRAME ABLE :)

I hired Sydney to take pictures at an event I threw in a bar here in Colorado. The event involved two DJs, a rowdy crowd, and a full on light show, and Sydney excelled. She displayed a level of professionalism I’ve rarely experienced with nightlife photographers not only in her photography but in the way she worked with us to figure out what we wanted and needed from the shoot. Looking at her portfolio, we were excited to see what she could do, and the photos she took didn’t disappoint. Her photography and conduct exceeded our expectations in every category. We still use her photos to promote our parties over 6 months later, and I know that the DJs involved use her work to promote themselves as well.
I highly recommend Sydney for any photography needs you may have, whether for an event, portrait, or otherwise.

SYDNEY IS AWESOME! I have had photo shoots done with Sydney and she has always done a great job from action shots to head shots she is sure to capture that perfect picture. I have had photos done by other photographers before but Sydney by far is better than any. She makes you feel comfortable and at ease so that you are able to relax, have fun, and be you in your pictures. Her prices are the best I have seen yet especially for the quality and value of her photos. As a professional dancer I use my headshot often and even though the pictures I took with Sydney were much older than the last photo shoot I had done with someone else I always go back to Sydney’s pictures when submitting a headshot they just look the most natural and the most like me compared to any other photos I have taken.
Thanks Sydney and I hope others read this and decide to have pictures done because you are a very talented photographer!
Good Luck and looking forward to having more pictures done very soon!
