Of all the professional photographers we have had Lauren was so patient and friendly to my 4 year old. Not many photographers understand that kids are kids and often get distracted or change their tempers quickly. Lauren was so kind to my daughter waiting on her even if she decided to throw a fit. Before our photo session Lauren called me several times to prepare. She sent me an idea of an outfit and I had the outfit handmade saving $60. Lauren paid so many compliments with how the outfit matched the picture she sent me of what she wanted my daughter to wear. Lauren also had a special necklace made for my daughter to wear in the pictures. It was so beautiful and matched the dress perfect. Lauren also bought a crown and painted it special to match my daughter's outfit. When we were deciding on a place for pictures, Lauren took a whole morning, drove out to my area clearly an hour from her, just to find the perfect place. She found a spot that I honestly didn't think was appealing. It was an old boarded bridge over a small creek. When Lauren got all her props and told Aurora what poses to make I was in so much shock to see how beautiful she made the environment come alive. If you would drive to this place you would never believe our photos were taken there. That is how much talent and creativity Lauren has. To see this place come alive through her lens and ideas was so cool. She danced around with my daughter played with her and even formed a good relationship with my daughter before the photos. I received my photos right away. I was amazed with how quick I got them. They are all so beautiful and I will forever have this memory captured. The color is gorgeous. I posted one of the many great pictures on my Facebook and before 24 hours got 100 "likes." My daughter to this day asks for Lauren and she even drew a special picture for her. I haven't mailed it yet but I will soon. If anyone ever wants to take family photos, wedding photos, and especially kid photos I highly recommend Lauren. She knows how to capture a shot and has awesome ideas. I have already had several ask me who shot our photos and for her business card. Lauren has a gift for sure!

Her work is beautiful and captures such wonderful moments, truly encapsulating moments of life and beauty.

I highly recommend her for portraits of any kind; she will immortalize your memories and moments of life and joy so beautifully!

We have had the privilege of meeting and being photographed by Michelle twice. I had been…read morefollowing her company's Instagram account because I love the style and lighting of her photos and when I found out she was offering indoor Christmas mini sessions, I reached out to her. She was so helpful in answering my questions, as we were new to getting professional photographs taken of us since our wedding earlier that year and we wanted to incorporate our fur baby in our photos to use as holiday cards. Michelle and her husband Kellan were so patient with us and our fur baby and she captured the best photos of us and of our fur baby!! I loved every single photo! She also took our fall photos this year to celebrate our pup's 10th Birthday and we added a new fur baby to the family. She was so thoughtful and brought doggie treats for the birthday girl and also our new pup. Flipping through her blog and Instagram account, you can see that not only is she really good at capturing moments in weddings, but she is also a wonderful lifestyle photographer and takes beautiful photos of families and children. Thank you Michelle giving us the best gift - beautiful photos of our family. You have the kindest heart!

I deeply regret hiring Meagan Gauna (Freckles Photo) and am writing my first negative review to…read morehopefully save others from the undue stress of making the same mistake. Highlights: - Showed up late and to the wrong venue (despite having been provided schedules and the venue address months in advance) - Missed roughly half of the photo opportunities we'd agreed upon her taking in-advance because of her tardiness & disorganization - More than 10 months and I still have yet to receive a single edited photo - Incredibly rude and unprofessional communication (when she even bothered to respond) - Completely ceased communications after repeatedly missing her own stated delivery dates There's a lot I could say but I'll do my best to keep it short. I shared a Google Sheet with Meagan months in advance and specifically asked for several shots. Some of the ones I'm most disappointed she missed were those of the bridal party & groom getting ready. I have absolutely none. When I sent the hair and makeup schedule showing we started at 10 am, she never mentioned she didn't plan on showing up until 4 pm when all but my finishing touches were done. Whomever you choose as your photographer (especially if it's Meagan) learn from my biggest mistake and never sign a photography contract without a clear delivery timeline in writing for your edits. Though I understand even more unanticipated unfortunate events unfolded in Meagan's personal life after our early talks about her "delays in workflow," being ignored for months after you paid a business for a service you still have yet to receive is unacceptable. I assumed edits would be processed in order of the date they were taken but she repeatedly insinuated any communication or updates I reached out for - about the work that was already months late - would mean she would just push my work down even further on her priority list out of sheer spite. This was a wholly unpleasant, unprofessional and unfortunate experience from start to finish. I have never worked with a small business that represented itself so poorly. Accountability, integrity & responsibility should not be your expectation if you choose to work with Meagan. I did receive the unedited photos several months into the endeavor but aside from that, no reimbursement, small photo "extras," or any form of restitution was ever offered for the endless delays or inconveniences. Additionally, it was implied that my priority in the editing process was pushed down the list because I did not consent to social media sharing & my images could not be used to promote her business. Meagan used to have a good reputation, and many people I know have been happy with her work in the past. I thought her prior good reviews (and personal experiences from folks I knew) would mean this would be a fun and seamless process. However, in my experience, it seems like she no longer cares about her clients, her business or her craft. Meagan is unprofessional, unreliable, and a huge source of stress--all things you definitely do not need when planning your wedding. The very last thing you want to be doing in the months following your wedding is having to hunt down the photos you rightfully deserve & you can't wait to see in their final form. Bottom line - If I could do it again, I would choose someone else in a heartbeat. Your wedding is a once-in-a lifetime event and you deserve a photographer who will actually deliver.

If you're looking to shop at the Maven Black line at Shineon I wouldnt recommend it. Made an…read moreappointment a month out online, was getting serval which seemed like automated messaging on what to prepare for my shoot and what not, I disregarded the messages until the day before my appointment I wanted to call and make sure that Im only coming to shop and not shoot! I just didn't want to waste her time if she is thinking shes doing a shoot which was not the case. So I called left a VM no answer or callback. So the next day I proceeded to go 45 minutes into downtown houston, waiting around the lofts for about 10 minutes called her multiple times and got forwarded and never answered the door to her studio. One of my Other friends who had shown me this boutique had known her personally and reached out, ONLY THEN DID SHE DECIDE to text me some message on how MY appointment got cancelled and if I wanted to reschedule. I think its completely unprofessional to cancel an appointment for a someone and not let them know and just leave them in the dust. if this is how she is even for shopping I cant imagine how unprofessional she is in her other endeavors.

My shoot with ShineOn Boudoir in downtown Houston was the first professional boudoir photoshoot…read moreI've ever booked, and I was very nervous for weeks leading up to it. I was not in a very body-positive mindset the evening before and even walking into the studio the day of, but that quickly changed as I talked with Julia and her team. My nerves calmed when Laura started on my makeup, and Kendall handed me a glass of champagne. Leading up to the photoshoot, I received several emails with information regarding their downtown warehouse loft location right across from Minute Made Park and parking. They also included how to best prepare for the shoot--from what to wear, skincare suggestions, and where to buy high-quality lingerie if I didn't already have some. The email sent the day before let me know the timeline and everything that would take place that day. Their excellent communication certainly helped me relax before the big day! Laura did a beautiful job on my makeup. I typically wear very natural and light makeup, and it was fun to see the drama she added, so my makeup would stand out for the shoot! I still looked like myself, which was important to me. While Laura did my makeup, Kendall went through the several outfits I had packed and my jewelry to pick out the shoot styles. She and Julia decided to put me in a few pieces from Julia's lingerie line, and they were absolutely stunning! It was wonderful to hand over the final decision making to their team of professionals and relax. Once my hair and makeup were done, I got to see the outfits that had been styled for me, and we started the shoot. Julia demonstrated and talked me through exactly what poses I'd be doing for each shot. She kept saying "gorgeous" or "perfect" with every shot, and it definitely boosted my confidence. By the end of the shoot, we had several stunning photos to choose from, and we sat together to whittle down the choices. This was the most challenging part of the experience, and I was stunned to see myself on the screen. Was that really me? The lighting was stunning. The curves and angles were so feminine and breathtaking. She and her team had managed to bring out the goddess in me, and I couldn't have felt more confident leaving the studio. I will be recommending ShineOn Boudoir to all of my friends. Men and women alike! They also shoot couples, which could be such a fun gift for a birthday or holiday. I'm certainly hoping my upcoming birthday involves a gift certificate so I can snag more of the photos I had to weed out from this shoot! Highly recommend!
