She was incredibly friendly and responded quickly over email. During the session, she was great about making us feel comfortable, and she captured some wonderful candid moments. I loved that she didn't make every shot feel posed. She gave us a little guidance on how to situate ourselves for the shot, but then allowed us to interact with each other as we naturally would. The wait time for final photos was so short, and we loved how quickly we got to see the great work she did! These photos will last a lifetime. I'm so glad we chose Peaks+Waves Portraits to capture this special time in our lives.

Isabel was flexible when we decided to move our wedding from October 2021 to May 2022, and was extremely communicative and easy to work with through the entire planning process.

Moreover, Isabel fit in great with our families...as you can imagine, having a 12-person wedding meant that she spent a LOT of close-up time with the crew! You won't be disappointed going with her.

Family photos , senior pictures , headshots , she can do them all and very well at that! Go with her you won't be disappointed! From the second our family walked through her studio door for our photo shoot , we felt welcomed and comfortable. She communicated well to us and had a delious batch of chocolate chip cookies and ice water waiting. (for the extremely warm newborn room) Her booklet for us to browse through was sitting there too. Very professional , yet warm and inviting. She got our baby boy ready and kept him comfortable as he dozed. She captured some really amazing shots of our little , yet 9lb baby. She suggested poses for all of us , yet I felt comfortable requesting my own thoughts to get her opinion on. She knew her lighting , what would work and turn out well , before putting her eye on the camera. Being a post partum mom , swollen and tired (and showing it too!!) she captured angles that were flattering for me, which I appreciated greatly. Overall, I was very happy with how each picture turned out, precious. We also did our family photo shoot (with Baby reveal to other kids) and maternity shoot. Despite dealing with multiple people , outfit changes, kids attitudes, etc she handled us very well! She was open to my ideas and willing to give hers. She paid attention to detail. Correcting hair, dresses , shoulder placement if anything was not to her standard. I appreciate this as well! I was thrilled with the beginning to end results in all three of our shoots with Jenny. Truly a blessing to have such a gift, as she does.

When I contacted her, she was very responsive and sent me many examples of her portfolio. When we met with her, she was very professional and agreed to do a lengthy, multi-day wedding shooting. Fast forward to the wedding day, Nessa absolutely nailed the photos. She took beautiful candids but also managed to take scores of huge group photos of family and friends where everyone looked great and didn't blink somehow, and she did it in seemingly 1-2 seconds per group. She agreed to travel with the bride and groom to 2 locations during the wedding day (in between the ceremony and reception) and captured the most stunning autumn photos. Even though we didn't prepare for any couple poses, she shared fun ideas to make us seem more natural and it actually worked. She also was great at taking dance floor photos and everything in between. We received our plethora of beautiful photos through email and were so absolutely pleased. We would absolutely recommend Nessa as she is an expert behind the camera, super fun and easy going, and she helped us capture our day just the way we always pictured it.

Sadly, we don't live in Austin any more and can't splurge on a random anniversary photo session (I mean, who doesn't like to dress up and get their picture taken?) but we totally would if we could.

His talent is that special blend of science and art that not only makes a listing highly marketable, but also captures the essence of the property. Recently, I hired Steve to photograph an impromptu wedding of a dear friend that was being held at my house. Keenly aware that my experience as a professional home stager in no way qualifies me to act as a wedding planner, I was very worried that the event would fall short of the bride's expectations. In addition, I was concerned that my modest house would not provide an adequate backdrop for Steve to capture the special moments of the day. I have always been a huge fan of Steve's work, but now my appreciation of his expertise and artistic talents is even greater! Upon arriving, he performed his usual "walk-through" to determine the positive attributes and challenges of the venue. Very quickly he established a strategy for shooting the wedding (no rehearsal...totally "off-the-cuff"), and within the first hour was in his "artistic groove" as I like to call it! The resulting wedding photos are nothing less than magical; it looks as if the wedding took place at a five star hotel! Thanks to Steve's artistry, my friend has a wedding album filled with beautiful memories.
