A co-worker of mine won a photo session with Flashpool at a charity event. She had a underwater dog…read moreshoot with Flashpool and raved about the great experience. I was so impressed after seeing those photos, I just had to get photos of my dog too. I contacted Sarah Teveldal, owner of Flashpool, and she responded very quickly to set up the photo shoot. She coordinated the pool and was extremely responsive and helpful throughout the entire process, including when our first photos shoot got rained out. My dog (a mini dachshund) was nervous during the photo shoot and hesitant to jump in the water- Sarah still managed to work with her and get her in the pool. She also came up with great out-of-water playing shots and was even able to get mid-air jumping shots! Sarah edited a number of photos, which all turned out excellently, and accommodated my schedule so I could have edited photos in time to order a canvas (her website offers printing too!!) before my family comes to town for the holidays. Sarah's professionalism was top notch. Her artistic touch and ability to get a great photo, even with as challenging of a subject as a scampering, wet, mini-wiener dog was outstanding. I recommend Sarah and Flashpool Productions to anyone looking for a fresh take on the "old photo session"- her range and abilities would be great for family photos, swim teams, friends, and, absolutely, for dogs. Cheers!

My fiancé and I were lucky enough to have our engagement photos taken by Sarah. I had always…read moredreamed of having our photos taken underwater and Sarah made those dreams come true!! From the day I contacted her she was so helpful and sweet. She gave us tips and tricks to keep in mind so that day-of we would be as prepared as possible. I let her know I was not a strong swimmer and she reassured me that we could still make this work! The end results were AMAZING and truly speak to how talented Sarah is. She was able to take fantastic shots in seconds. Like I mentioned previously, I am not a strong swimmer and have a mild fear of being in deep water. Even though we were underwater for seconds, she moved around us with a swiftness that enabled her to capture magical shots. Her boyfriend was also fantastic and helped throughout the shoot. Afterwards, we received edited photos within a few days and my family and I had a very tough time choosing the photos we wanted. There were so many beautiful photos. We ended up choosing one of our photos for our save-the-dates and nearly all our guests couldn't believe we were even underwater in the picture. We had such great responses and I cannot thank Sarah enough. It was a unique and incredibly fun experience for us and I cannot wait to showcase more of our photos at our wedding. If I could give her 10 stars, I would! THANK YOU SARAH!

I couldn't be happier with deciding to hire Justin for my proposal photography. He was quick and…read moreprofessional in setting up the details, and kept clear communication with me in the planning stages. I think one of the most undervalued aspects of his proposal service is his advice/suggestions on how, when, and where a great proposal in Austin can happen. He even scouted out different places for me to check the conditions! After comparing his services and prices against other proposal photographers in Austin, he definitely had the best bang for your buck. The photoshoot itself was great. Justin was waiting for us and captured the special moment, and the mini photo-shoot after the proposal turned out really well! What blew me away was that he offered to drive to a completely different location, 15 minutes away, to continue our "mini-photoshoot" at another scenic spot! He was so flexible and willing to go the extra mile for us...all without increasing the price! Plus, Justin is just a friendly person, so it was great getting to know him and work with him. I would highly recommend Max Photography to anyone looking for proposal, engagement or wedding photographers! Thanks again, Justin!

The photos we received from Justin are gorgeous to say the least - he is extremely talented with lighting and framing! If we wanted a picture with a specific group of people at our reception, Justin did not hesitate to capture the moment. He was very easy to communicate via email before our reception and made sure to get all the details he needed before our big day. Justin was able to capture the complete vibe of our reception and we are so grateful! Cannot recommend him enough!

We ended up getting clouds and she took so much time making sure we would still get quality shots. She made the experience fun with her prompts and suggestions to make everything feel natural. This was unlike any previous experience I've had with a photographer, she's bringing her joy with her and it's contagious! You could tell she enjoyed the experience through her enthusiasm and determination to get the shots in spite of our lighting conditions, there was really no stopping her. I recommend her a million times over. You'll have fun, won't feel rushed or awkward, and you'll get really great photos that capture genuine moments. Thank you so much Alissa!

His experience of the wedding day schedule and advice was invaluable allowing the happy couple to choose how they wanted to spend their day.
