“Portia was lovely to work with and the results were wonderful. She made the whole process fun, gently guiding but never suggesting anything that made me uncomfortable. Her style is professional yet approachable. I'm already considering an outdoor session in the spring. Highly recommended! “ -- Tricia Adams, Aptos

“I Went to Portia for my new Business photos and I was more than pleased. Portia inspired me to come up with an Acronym: PHOTO: P for Passion, H for Hauteur, O for Optimal, T for Technique and O for Oh, So Good!. She is professional and an artist. She can make you feel right at ease during the shoot and make you look so good on film. She is also a wizard at the behind the scenes technical bits. You instantly know when you have a good photo. Your memories will be golden with Portia behind the camera..” - Lisa Carter, Santa Cruz

“Portia was a joy to work with. I am generally uncomfortable in front of the camera but she took her time and we ended up with some great photos. I felt she was really able to capture the feeling I was looking for as well!” -- Jada, Soquel

“I went to Portia to shoot a unique ' family portrait' involving costumes, special effects and dragons. Portia was patient with my idea and kids, and absolutely captured my vision on film! Better still she had fun with the concept and really took the time to make and improve the image I wanted. Absolutely a great experience” - Brandon,  Aptos

“My session with Positive Vista was just that...totally positive from start to finish. I am a television broadcaster from London who wanted to get some shots done before I moved to LA. Didn't hold much hope when I wandered into this local photographer’s but her attitude and the outcome tipped any I've had. Love the shots....” -- Rianna Scipio, Hollywood

“Portia Shao is THE BEST! She has amazing creativity and professionalism, and is fun to work with. We had her do our maternity photos and they came out beyond our expectations... we can't wait for her to do our newborn ones as well!! We loved every minute of our experience and have been bragging about her to everyone we know! We highly recommend Positive Vista Photography & Art by Portia Shao!” -- Erin and Tony Rhoades, Aptos

“I have been modeling for 15+ yrs now and have worked with hundreds of photographers. Portia of Positive Vista Photography was someone that stands out as one of my favorites. Her creativity and art direction really help make for a lot of useable photos. What I like most about working with her was the calm atmosphere she presents in her studio. She takes her time and gives each photo her all. She has an excellent eye for photos as well as an amazing lighting set up. If you are looking for some high end, professional photos, this is the person to be connecting” - Jason Baca
