Amy was a true blessing and captured our wedding day beautifully! She knows her stuff like the true…read morepro she is. She's confident, comfortable directing guests, and gave us (the bride and groom) clear direction so we'd get the very best shots. Since she's photographed at Chapel Dulcinea so many times, she knew exactly how to work within our 1.5-hour ceremony window to get everything we wanted. She then joined us at our reception brunch and captured all the sentimental moments with our loved ones -- memories we'll treasure for a lifetime. Amy is friendly, professional, and willing to do what it takes for the perfect shot. And she delivered our photos surprisingly fast! Highly, highly recommend.

Amy is an absolute gem and I cannot say enough about how much I adore her and her work. I was…read morenervous about working with a professional photographer when I'm so clearly not a professional model. I was convinced I'd look awkward in front of the camera for my engagement/wedding pictures, but I really wanted to make sure we had photos for both.. I searched around, tried to find a photographer with pictures that captured the romance without unnecessary filtering and editing. I stumbled upon Amy's pictures and fell in love with her style and beautiful use of natural color and lighting. Amy exceeded my expectations tenfold. She was so friendly and approachable the whole time and made me and my (now) husband super comfortable in spite of our concerns. The time we spent together was actually a blast, and she'd give feedback to make sure that we looked our best and help us lighten up. The photoshoot felt like it flew by, and even though we were excited about getting our pictures back, we had NO idea that we were about to get an entire album FULL of INCREDIBLE pictures. That's right. It wasn't a matter of just picking 5 that we liked. We had trouble narrowing down our favorites because Amy rocked it SO HARD and we wound up with 200+ incredible pictures. I'm already looking forward to working with her again in the future so we have more photographed memories over the years. Cannot thank you enough, Amy!

I just had my 3rd photo session with Arin - and there's a reason I keep going back!…read more Arin has a way about her that's both professional and fun, the time goes by really fast and she's extremely comfortable to work with. She is very talented and has a great eye for getting the right shots, posing suggestions, angles, and edits. This season was a maternity shoot and my partner's first professional photo session! He said that he got over his nerves quickly and we got some amazing shots. 10/10 would recommend a session with Arin Phillips Photo!

She's truly talented and you'll be able to tell by the way she sets you up for pictures and her presentation after she's done. She's very talented, and skilled!!!

I cannot say enough great things about Arise Media Studio and, specifically, about Cabe! From start…read moreto finish, the entire experience was flawless. Cabe has an incredible eye for detail and a warm, easygoing personality that instantly puts everyone at ease. What truly stood out to us was his high level of intuition and respect for our group dynamic. We had a person in our party who explicitly didn't want to be on camera, and Cabe was so incredibly accommodating. He navigated the situation with the utmost professionalism, ensuring that person felt completely respected while still getting all the perfect shots of the rest of the group. The candid imagery he captured on the fly is nothing short of breathtaking. He managed to perfectly document the genuine essence of the day, capturing beautiful, fleeting moments that we will cherish. Furthermore, you simply cannot beat the value here. For the premium, top-tier quality of work that Arise Media Studio delivers, their affordability is a breath of fresh air. If you need a studio that truly listens, cares, and delivers magic, Cabe is your guy. Highly recommended!

Cabe, of Arise Media Studio, got me in for a photo shoot just a couple days after I reached out,…read morewhich really helped me. Then he came to my office to take the professional photos I needed. He was very professional, creative and easy to work with. I felt really comfortable and the photos he took were impressive and exactly what I needed. He then sent me the photos within 24 hours, so the quick turnaround was great. Start to finish, it was really smooth and effortless working with Cabe and getting the photos I needed and had hoped for. He will be the first photographer I reach out to the next time I need one.

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!

I can't recommend Ariel enough! He came highly recommended by a coworker, and he completely…read moreexceeded every expectation. 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!

I appreciate her flexibility so much - and that applies to setting up the shoot (figuring out the scope and appropriate cost), executing the shoot (kids demand flexibility and creativity!) and the post-production so to speak (how do you want your pics delivered, etc). I've been really impressed with her couple and maternity pics that I see on Facebook and on her site as well, altho we've only had family and newborn pics shot. Definitely peruse her site to see her work, but also to help describe what you have in mind so that she can make sure you get exactly what you want!
