Not only does he have an incredible eye, but he also has a great personality; professional, easygoing, and made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. What truly sets Ariel apart is how he takes full advantage of the setting. He knows exactly how to use lighting, scenery, and every little detail to create something special. Every shot felt intentional and creative. When I received my photos, I was honestly blown away, they look like they belong in a magazine. The quality, composition, and overall feel are just stunning. These are the kind of photos you'll treasure forever. If you're looking for someone who is talented, personable, and delivers beyond expectations, Ariel is absolutely the one to go with!

Additionally, my guests have expressed their sincere love and appreciation to have such beautiful photos from a lovely event. Ariel was so easy to work with, extremely professional, agile, and simply a joy to have at such a special event. Ariel will be the only photographer I work with again in the future for both personal and professional events. Additionally, I have already referred Ariel to other contacts.

About six months ago I got it in my head I wanted to do a boudoir shoot. I am in no way a classic…read morecandidate - 57 years old, 6 feet tall, boy body, nobody's idea of a pinup girl. Did my google searching for photographers in Houston and contacted about a dozen. Perhaps half responded they weren't available, and half didn't respond. However, one adorable young lady in Austin (3 hours away), Julia Vie of Vivian's Muse, said she was very excited about shooting me! We exchanged several emails about the process and logistics and had an extended phone chat. My trepedation morphed into excitement and anticipation. Let's do this!! The big day! Julia shot perhaps 400 photos in an hour or so, all the while offering instruction, incredible encouragement and showing me what she had captured in her viewfinder. All with a monster camera and first class professional lighting. We shot on the couch, on the stairway, in the window, on the bed. Woah, so exhilerating! Nervousness was gone and my inner goddess had taken over. I'm not one for exaggeration but this was truly one of the best hours of my life. Back the next morning to review and select proofs. Oh no, her computer jammed up, wasn't happening. No problem in the digital age. We had more girly chat, comparing notes on all of the fun we had had the preceding day. A few days later the proofs arrived via email. I was blown away. OH MY! That cannot possibly be me. But...it is! Being a goddess, even for a short while, really gets in your head. And stays there. Who would have thought the idea of having a little fun by trying something different would turn into a life changing event? Thank you so very, very much Julia! And, girls, if you have any lingering doubts about treating yourself to this experience, all I can say is do not delay, call Julia today! Hugs, Michelle

She did a great job easing my nerves, since I'm her Aunt, but we ended up with some stunning pictures to mark my 50 year old milestone. I recommend getting your pictures done in all stages of your life from your 20's on up so you have a professional collection of yourself to reflect upon. Don't put it off another day, book with Julia and see just how beautiful you are!

I feel like I have typed out and then deleted what I have written here about 10X because properly…read moreconveying how incredible this group is at what they do is probably impossible. Working with KHP and her all-star team is not just a professional photography session but an experience that allows you to feel good about yourself and have that self shine in a way that feels completely authentic to you. I've had the pleasure of working with Olympia twice now -- once when I needed professionally styled headshots quite quickly for an upcoming feature/publication and once for a lifestyle shoot. To say that their product is top notch is an understatement -- no detail goes unthought of...from styling, hair and makeup, lighting, vision...and it all comes together with this fun, carefree, beautiful experience, working in their studio (and having fun as well) that makes this team worth every penny. They make it feel effortless. They also manage to compress entire sessions and selection process into short time span (though you wont feel rushed) ...genuinely, the work they do in terms of studio time would take most an entire day. While I'm sometimes guilty of gatekeeping treasured finds in austin, it just wouldnt be fair to not shout out praises for Olympia and Korey Howell Photography. Thank you for letting me share the best me!

Korey did my headshot update back in 2018 and I was thrilled with the results (see previous…read morereview.) A few months back, I logged into a Zoom call and noticed that my awesome headshots from that session didn't really look like me at all anymore. In this post-Covid lockdown world, as we might be tip-toeing slowly and carefully back to the world of in-person meetings and conferences, using an old headshot felt like a little bit of "bait and switch!" Let's face it, hair is longer, skin is still fabulous, but...I'm OLDER. Still awesome, still sassy, but I needed an update. This time I worked with the fabulous Olympia Roll (and again, why on earth would you make this investment without the professional makeup add-on specifically for the photographer?) who "got me" from the first minute. One thing I especially love is the super light touch on touchups and post-processing. These pictures look like me, not an air-brushed, over-filtered, a little too pose-y overly contrived version of me. Now I need to either write a book or run for office (or both! ha!) because she gave me photos that make me look and feel like a BOSS. Thank you!

Aubrey did some boudoir shots I really wanted to have done before my preventative mastectomy. It…read morewas a really personal and vulnerable thing for me, so it's amazing how fun and relaxed it was to do the photoshoot with Aubrey. First of all, Aubrey is not awkward or a prude. She has an unfazed sort of vibe about her. She's also really funny which, as we all know, helps during any potentially awkward moment. She told me all the little details about how to pose so that my face and hands and everything didn't look stupid (you know how sometimes you see photos and the people are fumbling with what to do with their hands or feet or what direction to look? I need more direction than that and she is really good at that)! Aubrey figured out what angles and lighting looked best and she was so encouraging the whole time. I had a mix of photos of me looking at the camera, looking away, smiling, not smiling, etc., some looked candid, others didn't. Perfect mix. Also she would tell me how amazing the photos were looking while she was shooting and even showed me some on the little camera screen. I have never felt like such a rock star. Then, after editing, she sent me a giant load of absolutely incredible photos. I don't know if she just did everything right as far as angles and lighting, or if she did a lot of editing work in the "lab" but either way she made me look really good in my photos, better than I could have imagined going into it. I sincerely recommend Aubrey for boudoir or any type of photos!!!

She definitely has a gift for photography.
