Siena Arte Portraiture, Scottsdale AZ

My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful experience with Bob and Connie taking a family portrait. They were the definition of professional. Diligent in making sure we were prepared and experienced to make the whole process great. They have a very nice studio and equipment to ensure you get a high quality product.

My husband and I found this company through their generous participation in the annual Make a Wish Ball auction and we couldn't have had a better experience with Bob and Connie. We were able to use our session to photograph two year old twins and we sat comfortably out of frame as the photographers expertly positioned, entertained, and captured our children exactly as we had expressed we wanted. The editing skill of their artist opened up tons of options and we had several good choices of final images (Toddlers both looking and smiling at the camera together? To see this was magic!). From the pre-shoot zoom call to the post-shoot presentation, this studio was entirely on top of their game. We never felt rushed or pressured and there were so many small touches that added up to one great big impression of Siena Arte. Finally, we have a beautifully framed photo of our children on our wall and warm memory to go with it. Thank you Bob and Connie!

I can say that if you are looking for a portrait to be done with exceptional work and craftsmanship, this is the place. Can't say enough good things about them. You won't be disappointed.

Connie was fantastic to work with! Everything from the booking process through the in studio experience and the great headshots was absolutely top notch! So much so we will be coming back for family holiday photos! Such a low stress, high safety experience. Connie made the process simple and comfortable. It was very efficient as well; no wasted time but no rushing around. I would highly recommend!

Connie is the consummate professional. COVID protections employed and ver respectful of the client. Beautiful photographs.

I wish I could somehow adequately portray the value and meaning of what they do. I am a single mother of three teenage boys, and I happen to be an ICU nurse as well. Siena Arte Portraiture decided to honor nurses by allowing our family to be captured in a moment in time. Because I am a mother, and because the current COVID climate has been so devastating, I couldn't pass up an opportunity to freeze frame our family. That I can explain, what I have trouble defining is how I felt when I saw my family so elegantly portrayed in such a genuine manor. Given the current climate, it was the first time, in too long, that I cried tears of joy and pride. The image of us that Siena Arte Portraiture captured was so strong, individual, loving, and such a true summary of us as a family. It was then, when I saw us looking back at me, that I knew we were all going to be okay, and that is why I cried. That image was us, in this climate of chaos, still being us. I know I will always feel that same feeling when I look at that picture, as I turn from a young woman with boys, to a grandma, and hopefully a great grandma with grand kids. Siena Arte Portraiture will always be part of our family.

Here is our experience. Sent email through their site and week later no response. Guess if I want a Christmas photo of my family I will have to look elsewhere.

UPDATE: Owner called to apologise for not responding. I appreciate that. Shows they care which is not common these days

Have you ever had one of those experiences that you just cannot wait to share with everyone in your life that matters? My family and I just had one of those moments thanks to Bob, Connie, Santa Claus and the entire Siene Arté staff. If I could give this review more stars, I would without a second of hesitation.

The Santa Magical Workshop Experience By Siena Artè Portraiture is unlike anything we've been a part of or witnessed in my life. From the moment I spoke with the team at Siene Arté, I knew this was going to be unique and very special to our family. We feel extremely fortunate to have been one of the very limited and exclusive appointments to spend an intimate hour with the best Santa Claus any of our family has seen.

Both Bob and Connie are consummate professionals. It is easy to see the passion they have for their art. Their studio is very warm and inviting with some of the most gorgeous portraits on display.

The hardest part about all of this experience is finding the patience to wait for our artwork to be ready.

Siene Arté is conveniently located in the shopping center on the corner of Pima and Pinnacle Peak in the same shopping center as Mastros and Lamp Pizza. There are plenty of parking spots and the shopping center is well lit.

I highly recommend! Thank you Bob and Connie for an experience and artwork that will be a family heirloom for decades to come.

Connie and Bob are totally incredible. They are friendly, personable, and excellent at creating portraits and memories for all of their guests. We feel blessed to have found them. Thanks for our beautiful portrait!

Bob and Connie Zimmerlich are consummate professionals and the beautiful, elegant portrait they produced for us perfectly captures our personalities and looks sublime in our home. They took enormous care and attention to detail at every step, even after the portrait was finished. They helped us select gorgeous custom framing, and recommended a professional installation company who also works with the Phoenix Art Museum. The result far exceeded our wildest expectations! We highly recommend them. This portrait brings us joy every time we see it.

My girlfriend and I took our dog here for a photo shoot benefiting the Arizona Animal Welfare League (thank you to them for the generous donation of their time for a good cause). Connie and Bob were a blast to work with. They were professional and kind. The photos turned out amazing. The whole experience was fantastic, I cannot recommend them enough.

This was a fantastic experience with the exact results I was looking for. Connie spent hours with me and allowed me to stop frequently to review photos and to make clothing changes. It was a great experience!

My puppy Baron and I just finished our shoot here as part of their fundraising effort for Arizona Animal Welfare League. First, it was just so impressive that such experienced photographers would donate their time and go to the efforts that they have. I really respect their generosity and dedication to helping the shelter animals. Second, they made the experience truly enjoyable, fun, and the time just flew by. They allowed Baron to explore the studio and get all his curiosity out, made great conversation, and took some incredible photos. I am definitely going to come back here for more shoots and 100% recommend Siena Arte Portaiture!

Connie was amazing start to finish. Professional, intentional and committed to customer service. Love the personalized 'welcome' chalkboards around the studio. Highly recommended.

This is a Top of the line portraiture studio! The owners Connie and Bob are professional, knowledgeable, highly trained and certified, friendly and do so much for the community! Connie and Bob did my Executive headshot, I was worried at the beginning as I get camera shy and don’t like to be in photos. Connie talked to me the entire time and made the process comfortable, quick, fun and easy! When I saw the final image I was in awe at how beautifully it came out! They specialize in old world style art and even make gorgeous acrylic and oil paintings of family’s and so much more! This studio is by far the best in the valley!

What a great experience working with Connie at Siena! From her pleasant demeanor, to her professionalism and knowledge during the shoot…I would highly recommend Siena!

Connie is very responsive, flexible, and professional. I needed a quick turn around and she was able to not only accommodate with the photo shoot, but also provided the images within a day. She creates a soothing, relaxing environment with soft music to put you at ease. You will be very satisfied with the finished product. I highly recommend Connie!

Connie did a fantastic job and I was thrilled with how my headshots turned out! Would recommend to anyone who needs quality, professional portraits done.

Connie was great! I had a lovely time. So kind, helpful and patient. She had plenty of time allotted so I did not feel rushed. She helped me pick out what outfits and jewelry looked good. She was so helpful it telling me what postures suited me. She also recommended an excellent makeup artist. I will definitely go back the next time I need some professional photography.
Thank you Connie!

This was my first professional picture taking, at a studio. Wow, I was treated so special by having my name on different rooms to welcome me. Connie was a delight to work with as she made things so comfortable and relaxing. It was a lot of fun and I am looking forward to having future pictures made with Connie. Best of all, the pictures came out so amazing! Thank you Connie!
