Norm took pictures of our retirement party on a boat, on the bay, during the Blue Angels, a lot going on and not an easy feat. He was a pleasure to work with, very professional, and gave us so many great pictures of memorable moments. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. We will definitely use his services again. Thank you Norm. More...

Norm, was so professional and remembered everything I had said in our meeting. My pictures came out beautiful besides taking pictures of my granddaughter’s birthday. We also had him take family portraits and all my family loved their portraits. I highly recommend Norm besides being an awesome photographer he is a cool guy too. More...

I recently had the pleasure of working with Norm as my proposal photographer, and I can't recommend him highly enough! From our first interaction, he was incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with. We chatted on the phone about location and timing, and he offered great suggestions that really made the day special.

Norm coordinated with the location on my behalf, which took a huge load off my shoulders. On the day of the proposal, everything went flawlessly. He captured the perfect moments, and his talent truly shone through in the stunning shots he took of my fiancé and me afterward.

To top it all off, I received the edited photos within a week! His professionalism and dedication to his craft are truly impressive. If you're looking for a fantastic photographer for any special occasion, I highly recommend Norm. You won't be disappointed! More...

Quick turnaround. Norm did an awesome job and delivered exactly as described through message and his portfolio. Highly recommend him as a photographer

Great experience with Natural Portraits and Events. I highly recommend utilizing them for your photography needs.

Jay's request to photograph his surprise proposal to his girlfriend came in late in the afternoon, which was to take place just a few hours later. We made it work!

Norm was a pleasure to work with. He went far above and beyond expectations. I live in Dallas but have always wanted to propose to my Fianće in Sausalito. I couldn’t have found a better photographer than Norm who helped me plan out the entire proposal from across the country. He scouted the sight ahead of time for me as well as sending maps with exact locations where he would be and where I should propose for the best view and angle for him to deliver the best photos.
He even sent me weather updates and live stream footage of the weather from the sight to help monitor the best time to pop the question.
My fianće was beyond surprised to find out Norm had followed down a half mile hike and captured all the beautiful moments leading up to the proposal. We both felt super comfortable working Norm as he captured amazing shots of us at Point Bonita right after. We are so pleased with the final product he sent us just a day later and couldn’t have been happier with his professionalism and artistic eye and turn around time on our engagement photos.

Would 10/10 recommend booking Norm and hope to work with him again in the future! More...

Norm certainly has been the most professional photographer I have ever met so far! An excellent experience very quickly response and always open to listen to what client needs, pictures definitely tell the truth talking about feelings and emotions he captures all of it in one shot 😉 Beautiful pictures from the beginning of the ceremony to the marvelous ending. Until the next event Norm! You are the Best 👌 and really warm and charming person! Thanks again for everything! More...

Norm is intuitive and knows how to get great shots. I highly recommend him for your special events. It's worth having someone so experiences.

I'm a Chicago-based photographer, and I was working on an event in Napa that I needed assistance with.
Norm and Natural Portraits & Events came through in the clutch for me. I reached out to them with a last-minute event request, and they made it happen. Norm was amazing to work with and went above and beyond.

I would highly recommend him and his service, and I look forward to working with Norm and Natural Portraits & Events again. More...

What a winner Natural Portraits & Events, with Norm Levin . We had a family reunion with over 67 people. Norm managed to get great pictures of all our family in groups, candid shots and a large group picture with all looking good. He was clear in dirrection and not "pushy". He was a wonderful addition to our afternoon. Can't thank him enough. More...

Norm was a pleasure to work with. He met us at San Francisco city hall for our wedding photos. He helped us navigate the process while finding amazing places to get shots even though it was busy that morning. I enjoyed working with him, the photos look great and I would use him again. Highly recommend! More...

Wonderful to work with, and excellent. Product

I had the pleasure of hiring Norm for my 60th birthday, and he was fantastic. Punctual, friendly, and incredibly talented, he seamlessly blended into the celebration.

Thank you again, Norm, for your beautiful work photographing our family member's 80th birthday party earlier this month. The photos are marvelous! My sisters & I are delighted with the results. You captured everyone (especially the kids) & all the special moments — something we never could have done on our own. We were able to step back at the party & enjoy every minute, and now we have lots of lovely memories in our photo gallery to look back on & share. Best thing ever!! Many thanks, your work is wonderful. More...

We needed an event photographer for a 2 day corporate event in San Francisco and Norm at Natural Portraits & Events hit it out of the park! His professionalism, punctuality and attention to detail far surpassed my expectations. I would not hesitate to hire Norm and his team for any and all of our photography needs moving forward.

My twin daughters just had their Quinceañera and Norm was in charge of the pictures. I found him by chance and it turned out to be a happy accident. He took fantastic pictures of the party, so full of emotion. Then he did a photo shoot for the girls portrait and he worked his magic. We were very happy with the results. I fully recommend Norm for your special events picture. You won’t regret it. Reasonable price as well. More...

Norm is an outstanding photographer. He has done family portraits for us at several milestone occasions (my mother’s 100th birthday, a four-generation shoot of her, her daughter, her granddaughter and great-granddaughter). His photos are beautifully composed and lit, and capture the essence of his subject. Highly recommended. More...

I can not say enough about the professional service of Norm. From the original booking to the day of to the picture quality. He is incredable and all of my family was extreamly pleased. More...

Quick response.
Great commmunication!

Norm did an amazing job capturing our engagement! He worked extra hard to find the perfect setting and capture the perfect lighting. He edited and sent back our photos in less than a day and everything came out great. Highly recommend! More...

It was a dream to have Norm capture my event. He came early to scope out the venue and made any accommodations I asked for. He encouraged people to pose for photos to ensure my event was well documented. Furthermore, without me noticing, he captured candids of beautiful and emotional moments that I'll treasure for the rest of my life. More...

Norm did an amazing job during my proposal. He captured such a special moment perfectly. He was kind, professional, and went above and beyond to make sure we got multiple backgrounds/poses/lighting etc to choose from. The quality of photos were phenomenal. I would highly recommend him. More...

It was my immense pleasure to have photographed Bianca's Quinceanera. She's a true gem, her friends lovely and lively and your entire family most warm and welcoming. Thanks for. your kind words!

Norm is extremely professional, easy to work with, reasonably priced and takes GREAT photos. If you’re looking for a photographer, Norm’s your man.

Norm has been our family photographer for the past few years. He shoots our annual holiday photos and we have been so pleased with the quality of his work, the photos we receive, and his turnaround time. He is truly wonderful and has captured some amazing photos of my kids. He is always on time, responsive, and a genuinely lovely person. We have beautiful pictures to last a lifetime. Thank you, Norm!! More...

It was such a pleasure to work with Norm! Our engagement photos turned out fantastic. We went to a beautiful winery in Sonoma and lucked out with perfect weather. Would definitely book him again!

We really loved Norm's work. The proposal I had planned involved a flash mob with my friends to surprise my fiance and there were a lot of last minute changes cos of poor weather and having to coordinate with multiple people but Norm was very understanding and he also seemed to really enjoy it when it all started happening. Even with dim lighting in the evening hours, he gave us a good number of really cute, lovely shots. Would definitely recommend Norm to anyone considering a good photographer for their special day!! More...

Norm did an amazing job capturing our 40th class reunion! The attention to detail and the quality of the candid photos are amazing! We would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs a professional photographer!!!!! More...

We found Norm through Bark. He was very patient and listened how we want our pictures taken. He gave us choices of locations and flexible with the time as well. We are very happy with the pictures. He gave us a lot of time to prep between photos. We recommend him to all our friends and family for the professional photography. 10+ More...

Norm did an excellent job, capturing moments of unscripted intimacy as well as staged shots. He generously spent extra time herding a large group of us (including little kids) to make sure he took the photos we wanted. This was for my mother’s 100th birthday, so the lovely memories Norm created for us are extra special. Highly recommended. More...

Norm did a great job photographing my daughter's wedding. He brought a smile and good humor while taking pictures which put the wedding party and guests at ease. He took all the "portrait" type shots we asked for, wonderful candid shots of the wedding reception and dinner, as well as some stunning photos we didn't think of that are beautiful. I recommend him as a professional and easy photographer to work with. More...

Norm came to our home for a family photograph. He was on time, professional, set up extremely quickly and took a large volume of shots to help make sure we got what we needed. Thank you Norm!

I went over briefly with Norm what I would like him to focus on for my husband’s surprise birthday event. Not only he captured all the pictures that I asked, he even took other pictures that I am so glad he did. The pictures turned out extremely good. Norm is professional and I would not think twice to hire him again in my future event. He is also very friendly. Thank you Norm, photos came out exactly what I was looking for. More...

Our photographer did an amazing job of capturing natural family photos! We worked with Norm for a birth announcement photoshoot. Scheduling was easy and we are very happy with the outcome of our photo session. We cannot wait to share the beautiful photos with family and friends! More...

Norm recently photographed my daughter's bat mitzvah and we could not be happier. When I contacted Norm, I wasn't sure we would hire a photographer at all. With no pressure, he coached on making that decision. He answered my questions and concerns in a professional yet warm way. On the day of the event, his extensive experience with shooting such events meant he knew the rhythm of the service, the important moments to capture, where to locate, how to shoot in that setting-both the physical and religious space, and how to corral people to be photographed. The photos came out terrific and the photo hosting platform is easy to use. Thank you, Norm More...

Laurie, Your wedding was amazing. It was my privilege to capture those heartfelt memories for you and Tim. May they always bring you joy.

Working with Norm was amazing. He was super flexible to meet me up at Stinson beach and capture our surprise proposal. It was also at a reasonable price and the pictures came out perfect.

Would highly recommend!

Norm was a pleasure to work with in capturing a special time in our lives. His flexibility and positivity were so helpful while trying to photograph a newborn and a 6 year old. We would love to do more family photos with Norm again in the future! More...

Norm was fantastic. We chose him because he said he captured the mood of the event not just pictures. He certainly did!! he was unobtrusive in style and captured the whole event. He also had proofs to us within the week. Amazing. I would highly recommend Norm. Happy to talk to anyone who needs a reference. More...

Norm did a fantastic job as the photographer for our event. He’s a professional and knows his stuff! But what is really special about Norm is that he’s highly skilled at capturing both formal and candid photos! We were impressed by the variety of amazing photos - he captured all the moments that we will cherish forever.

We are thrilled that he was our photographer. The entire process was enjoyable and stress-free. Thanks, Norm! More...

From another delighted Bride. It was my pleasure, Corrie, to capture memories of your wedding day. May my photos continue to bring joy to you and Mike for many years.

It was great working with Norm as he did the photography for my daughters Bat Mitzvah ceremony and party. The pictures that he captured came out great and we will have these for our memories in years to come. Big thumbs up!

Norm is a delight to work with. I have several other projects and I plan to hire Norm to photograph them.

Thanks Jessica! I think that your modeling career should get a boost from how these portraits turned out. You definitely have "the look".

Norm was a pleasure to work with and his photos were stunning! We actually might skip our "save the date" photos altogether, since we'll be able to use these that Norm took for us! He not only knows the Bay area very well and so was able to guide us around the best places to take photos in Sausalito, but he was also very flexible with the changing circumstances of our engagement. The wind changed suddenly and so our engagement sail ride changed times... Norm was happy to make the last-minute adjustment and was waiting for us at the dock when we arrived back! Great experience, highly recommend! More...
