The…read morecommunication prior to my photo shoot was very detailed and informative, so I had no questions going into the session. The studio was comfortable and welcoming with multiple choices. 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!!!

Also, when your baby refuses to fall asleep (see: cranky old man) or poops EVERYWHERE (see: burrito), Shayna takes it all in stride, complete with a white noise machine. Patient, sweet and talented-- you'd be a fool not to book her today!

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!

We recently had our daughter's newborn photos taken by Claressa. We had the hardest time finding a…read morephotographer, many that we reached out to would not get back to us. We found Precious Moments on Facebook and I reached out. Claressa responded within hours with her pricing and availability. She was able to get us in within a week of us reaching out! Which was super helpful since our daughter was reaching the end of the ideal age for newborn photos. Claressa was patient with Autumn, allowing plenty of time for feeing breaks and diaper changes. She had had plenty of props and outfits at her in home studio. She was patient with my two other children ages 5 and 16 months. The photos came out amazing within a weeks time. I couldn't have asked for better photos to capture our 3rd and final baby. Thank you Claressa!

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 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.

To start, Dave was incredibly responsive. I was on a time crunch, and Dave called me Sunday night less than an hour after I sent an email to give a quote and answer my questions. The session was scheduled for Tuesday, and I had the photos within 24 hours of selecting my favorite. On site, Dave was warm, made me feel comfortable, and helped me find the confident, friendly look I was hoping for. Being natural in front of the camera doesn't come easily to me, but Dave made the whole process painless, and I loved so many of the photos I had trouble choosing. His retouching work was wonderful, and the price was extremely competitive--one of the best I found in my search of around 10 photographers.

He shows up and seems to get the best photos that truly capture the day. From crowd shots to food shots, I am always so pleased with the end result. Family - He just recently started taking photos of my family. Anyone who has kids knows that family photo sessions can be highly stressful. Dave has a way of putting everyone at ease and can capture fabulous photos in a short amount of time. Every time he sends me the gallery, I spend hours looking at all the photos. I love and cherish every single one. Lastly, Dave is professional, reliable and provides a quick turnaround. I highly recommend Dave McIntosh Photographics!
