Oh my - if you need a solid newborn photographer, book a session with April! Her online portfolio…read morewas impressive of course, but given there is literally a small window of time to get the "perfect" newborn photos, I was very nervous. I got burned with my wedding photographer (so many many years ago, but I was so unhappy with finished product that I feel like it was yesterday), so I did not want the same to happen again with another of life's important milestones. But it was so unnecessary - April is so patient, so professional, and so kind! She bonded with my newborn immediately and took her time to get the best shots. I mean she REALLY took her time. You can tell she understands and realizes that every shot is a reflection of her work and the pride in her work, and she takes no shortcuts. Her studio is ?in flux - she is supposedly trying to find a new studio, but in all honesty, her current one seemed fine to me (ignorance is bliss?). Her prices (session+photos) are not cheap, however they are indeed reasonable given her level of expertise. Remember you get what you pay for, and what you pay for is an experienced professional and excellent photography. I am in the process of ordering announcements and print photos from her now (so difficult as so many of the proofs are simply gorgeous), and I am sure I will not be disappointed. I will update my review when they are delivered. I highly recommend April (she is also seemingly the "newborn whisperer" in my opinion, LOL...I wanted to take her home with me for those 3am crying spells!) UPDATE: Got my announcements and photos! Love, love, love! Fantastic quality as expected, and presented in a lovely neutral-toned rugged keepsake box and ribbon: the proverbial icing on the cake!

I found Nessa on Instagram and her photos blew me away. I loved the way her photos made me feel,…read morealmost as if you were transported into a fairytale or a dream. 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.

Honestly, we couldn't get enough of the amazing work Nessa produced. And she's super sweet to boot! Our photos were more beautiful than we expected and we were so fortunate to have found such a talented person so early on in our engagement. 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.

I can't say enough about what a great experience I had at Shayna Hardy Photography!

Shayna is professional and fun, and made me feel at ease immediately- like I'd known her forever and this was just a normal day. To top it all off, the photos are AMAZING and more gorgeous than I ever would have imagined. If you are debating a photo session, just book it!!!

She was so patient and calm, pulling out all the stops to engage my daughter and help her feel comfortable. There was no time pressure, and we were able to take breaks as needed.

In Motion Video is easily my FAVORITE wedding vendor and hands down our best money spent on the…read morewedding day. I say this because our video footage is the only real means we have to truly look back on everything that occurred on the single most important day of our lives thus far. Gene and Joe truly did a remarkable job capturing our moments and the real emotional essence all in HD. This was worth every penny & I could not say enough great things about their professionalism and service.

This review is long overdue, as we got married in March, however InMotion and Gene were INCREDIBLE!…read moreI waited until about a month before because I didn't know if a wedding video was in my budget, but I am so so so glad I ended up having InMotion/Gene create a wedding video. My only regret is not booking sooner, because the video he created is hands down my favorite memento from our wedding day. I am very type-A and a project manager by trade, so I can't help but micromanage anyone that comes across my path. Not only did Gene work beautifully with me, but he made the entire process SO easy. Planning a wedding can be so overwhelming, especially because I've never worked with wedding vendors before, and that made me a little nervous. Gene's process was so simple and I can't even give any constructive criticism, because everything was better than I could have imagined. I met with all of my vendors ahead of time, except for Gene -there was no need to. He took every detail I gave him into careful consideration and no request was too small or large. When I initially contracted with him I took quite a bit of time looking at all of his videos from other weddings and trying to pinpoint things I liked and things I didn't like to try and tell him what would be best, but everything was so well done that I knew we were in good hands! I was anxiously awaiting our wedding video after our wedding day, and he delivered it a week ahead of time and it was beautiful. I cried tears of joy the first time watching it, and then again when I watched it with my mother and then again with my grandmother. It's truly something we will remember forever. If you're on the fence about booking a videographer, get off the fence and book with Gene. Find a way to add this into your wedding budget, you will not be disappointed.

Hello Bethany, My…read morewebsite feels natural, elegant and joyful, and it's driving traffic for my business! I will continue looking to Bethany, owner of Digital Story Design and Bethany J Photography, for her contemporary, sophisticated and user based digital story design ideas. My quest was to integrate being as creative as possible, with both my photography and my passion for writing, all while maintaining an elegant and fresh website design to drive traffic to my business Stock Tales & Manes. Bethany guided me to the best templates for my photography portfolio and how to integrate story writing to create an online business integrating my Instagram, Facebook, and making sure my users enjoy having a great experience on my website. She created a contemporary user friendly design that I would have never been able to achieve on my own. The custom created rooms with my photographs already framed created a timeless portal for my user to see my art on the walls in their own home. Each month, Bethany and I create and decide on what stories and photographs came together to update my blog and add new photos from my current photoshoot projects. I love being able to continue to collaborate with Bethany's fresh and creative ideas on a month-to-month basis. Watching my web traffic grow from this continued collaboration is game-changing! Going with a talented website designer who is also a photographer saved me tons of time, money, and because I choose to go with a monthly update, I can plan for each phase and project. I couldn't be more joyful, and I look forward to executing my next two websites for my other businesses with Bethany! -AB, Stock Tales and Manes

She guided my son with the poses throughout the entire shoot. This was an outdoor photoshoot, but you would have thought we were in a studio. They had music playing and everything. It was so fun.
