Alison also has the fastest turn around we get the sneak peak within a day and the digital copies within a week. As you know babies do not always want to be in front of the camera and pose on que.

She makes are baby look like the gap model we know he is!

Words cannot fully express how talented Allen Tsai is. My husband and I are not used to being…read moreprofessionally photographed, so we chose Allen based on his stellar reviews. He did not disappoint! My best advice would be to trust him and his skills as a photographer implicitly. 1. He gives plenty of direction in terms of body placement, posture, hand placement, etc. to give you flawless photos. If you are new to being photographed like me, you'll find this kind of direction extremely helpful and comforting. 2. At the same time, he creates a very calm, light, and fun atmosphere that creates true, genuine moments between you and your significant other. We are two people that usually feel very uncomfortable in front of a camera, however we had such an enjoyable experience with Allen. 3. I really encourage anyone using Allen's services to listen to his recommendations. For example, our original scheduled date was cloudy and overcast. He recommended that we wait for sun if we truly wanted to be happy with our photos. We are so grateful to have listened to him, because the results were wonderful (see attached). There are other photographers that will say that cloudy weather is actually better, however with Allen's technique and skill set, he can do incredible things with the light. We will continuously use Allen's services in the future; we have found our favorite photographer! I couldn't imagine working with anyone else.

Engaged him right after, did our photoshoot, and got our photos, all less than a month (Dec, when wedding season is less hectic). He's very friendly, prompt in replies, very professional and definitely knows what he is doing, especially in giving directions to us while taking our photos. The photos came out to be better than we've expected. Truly a talent! Worth our money spent! In fact, his pricing is very reasonable.

My wife and I did our family portraits recently and had a wonderful time with Hoang Nguyen of Life…read moreStories By Hoang!  Hoang was on time (even early) for our appointment, and we never felt rushed even though it probably took us a little longer than most couples to warm up to the process. Hoang came up with so many creative ideas for our shoot at Cedar Hill State Park.  You can tell from the photos that we were having a blast!  It felt like we were just hanging out with a friend rather than having a stranger lurking around us. :) He really captured us accurately and in the most flattering way. Before the shoot, Hoang was very responsive to our questions, especially about where/when to shoot (as we all know, DFW weather is rather unpredictable) and what to wear. We couldn't have been happier with the choices he made since the pictures turned out amazing! And the turnaround time was impressive. Everyone LOVES the photos! We would wholeheartedly recommend Life Stories By Hoang for any photography projects. If you take a look at his portfolio, the quality of his work speaks for itself. But even more importantly, we truly enjoyed the process of working with him, both on the day of our shoot and in the weeks leading up to it. We can't wait to work with him again!

Epoch Photography had the very special privilege and frankly difficult job of Photographing our…read morefamily two days before we moved away. We were born and raised in San Diego and have now moved to DFW, Texas. The shoot included My family of 5, my mother-in-law, and my sister-in-law's family of 6. ALL of us wanted an intimate yet fun outing captured on film before me and mine moved to Texas. That was 6 kids under 7 and one special needs baby. That is alot to handle and Maile captured the humor, emotion, and depth of our family perfectly. She took us to Mission Trails and took us on an adventure. She thought of everything and was amazing with all the kids. Even the tearful goodbye photos are breathtaking. I will forever be grateful we chose Epoch. This was one of those moments that was too big to leave to an ammature, and Maile blew me away with her professionalism and artistic eye. Lastly, she was very prompt in her turn around of getting the finished images back to us.

I thankfully was able to hire Epoch Photography less than 30 days before she departed San Diego,…read moreand am so glad I did. I was looking for updated headshots and photos of myself for professional purposes, but wasn't certain how to do that, what to wear, or where to be photographed. Maile came prepared with a full but efficient agenda, and even provided recommendations on what to wear. I've never had professional photos taken, and Maile was excellent at making me feel comfortable in front of the camera. The results are better than I could have hoped for, and were received in under 48 hours! We're sorry to lose her services in CA, but TX is lucky to receive a talented business like Epoch Photography!

Kyrsten is truly one of a kind. From our engagement shoot to our wedding day, she went above and…read morebeyond in every way. She was always early, spent extra time with us, and for our engagement shoot, she didn't just show up--she created a full-on date experience, shooting across multiple locations. That day is still one of our favorites. We're not naturally comfortable in front of the camera, but Kyrsten has a calm, warm presence that puts you at ease instantly. She made us feel like ourselves--laughing, relaxed, and completely in the moment. At the same time, she has this incredible ability to command a crowd and keep things moving smoothly. You can tell she knows exactly what she's doing. Her photos are stunning, but the way she goes about her work is just as beautiful. So much heart, so much intention. We've already talked about hiring her for future milestones--yes, even if she's in Dallas and we're in Austin! 100000% recommend hiring Kyrsten. She's not just a photographer; she's an artist, a professional, and a joy to be around.

I am not sure where to begin with how amazing Kyrsten is, I will do my best! To start, when we…read morefirst got on a phone call she was so professional and truly understood the vision we wanted with our wedding photos. She stayed in touch with us until the big day ensuring we felt taken care of. Especially as we were planning a destination wedding in Mexico, it was hectic at times and i'm so grateful to have had her and her team there with us! Now for our wedding day + photos... OMG!! The photos are absolutely stunning, they truly captured how we felt in every moment and all the detail! But more importantly, Kyrsten was everything I needed on my wedding day, she helped me stay focus, calm and on time. She was my go to person when I had to make some risky decisions relating to the weather and I truly felt like I could count on her with everything. She had back up spots because of the rain, and made us feel so seen and supported, it was so easy to trust her with everything!! Her energy kept us calm and excited, always reminding us about what the day truly was about + she knows how to run the show and get every perfect photo despite having a wild, big crazy crew! If you are considering hiring Kyrsten and her team, I hope this review is your final confirmation to DO IT! You will be in the best hands possible and be so happy with the photos!

I couldn't speak more highly of Thaddeus and his work as a photographer. Not only is he a true…read moreartist, but he's professional, magnetic, funny, and affable. Getting one's headshots done can feel scary. I was nervous going into it, but the minute I arrived all my guards came down because Thaddeus made me feel safe and secure, sexy and beautiful. He is a natural born teacher and taught me so much prior to the shoot about what was expected of me. For example, coming prepared is his number one request. When booking with Thad you're entering into a symbiotic relationship where both of you contribute. My headshot experience was unique in that what I wanted to achieve was two-fold: to get business and actor headshots (both theatrical & commercial). During our initial consultation I learned from Thad that in my case, I would be playing three roles for the shoot: the talent, artistic director, and fashion stylist. In order for me to succeed at the latter two Thad gave me a step-by-step guide: I needed to create a Pinterest board, identify outfits that inspired me, pull looks from my own closet, print inspo pictures and pair them with each of my looks, and of course hang my clothing and transport them in garment bags. It may sound like a lot of work, and it is, but it is so worth it bc Thaddeus will come just as prepared if not more with his own work completed (photography-wise) not to mention his years of experience and countless stories on the job including glamorous tales and wildly funny tribulations (the kind that enough time has passed for one to be able to laugh at them) from his time in NYC. Also, as I said, my photoshoot was unique as I was responsible for the preparations. Typically, Thaddeus is hired for major commercial shoots or fashion magazines where there are whole teams of people hired to assist. Not only did he teach me how to prepare, but Thaddeus also gave me the gift of directing me throughout my shoot. Having stepped away from the acting world to build my business experience, I felt a little rusty. My thoughts included, "Do I have what it takes? Will I still have the acting chops? Am I good, capable, or pretty enough?" The answer was yes to all. I had everything I needed inside me for the shoot to be a success and I give Thaddeus credit for bringing it out in me. Since I have begun this diatribe, I'll explain. Currently, as a 33-year-old woman, I am on a journey to know and fall in love with myself, believing in myself all on my own. And that's why my photoshoot was so powerful. Thaddeus believed in me before I did. He did so because he cares and that's evident in him contributing his art, his photography, and his good and wise nature to the world. Thaddeus' standards of excellence are so high that you will see it and feel it the moment you meet him, the moment you walk into his convivial, clean, professional photography studio you will know you're in the right place. You will rise to the level of excellence Thaddeus exudes because you won't be able to deny its surrounding power and presence. Thaddeus' hard work and desire to continue working until things are just right is an inspiration. My headshots turned out so beautifully and dynamically. We even got to play with some editorial shots! Attached are 4 of the 11 looks we captured, thanks to Thaddeus! LAST thing, I would be remiss not to mention and praise Elsa Delgado Perkins (who Thad recommended) - https://makeupandhairbyelsa.com/contact/ who did my hair and makeup and absolutely nailed it! The whole experience was a delight! Trust me, Thaddeus Harden Photography doesn't disappoint.
