Excellent Service
"I had spent months looking for a photographer. When I messaged her she was excited and supportive of my requests. She had never done pictures of dogs or a paint fight but I was strapped for money so I thought I’d give her a shot. And let me tell you... she did AMAZING! They came out better than I had expected them to. I’m so happy to say she’s gonna be my wedding photographer. Her price is reasonable, she’s fun and throws out ideas too, she helps you look good, and all around amazing. My pictures say it all. Such a fun shoot!"

Highly Recommend
"Shalis was the videographer for my daughter's wedding. Booking was very easy and she answered all my questions thoroughly. She's super quick to respond to texts or messages on her website or Facebook. The prices can't be beat, the edited video is beautiful and she has given us the option to purchase the raw footage, also. I highly recommend Call It Magic!!"

One Word. Amazing!
"During our search for a photographer we were worried we would have to sacrifice some options in order to keep the price down. With Call it Magic Productions we got everything we wanted AND the best photographs we've ever had done professionally. Request the photographer Shalis, she is fantastic, accommodating, and talented! Thanks again Shalis"
