I literally can't say enough great things about Heather Curiel. Her work is absolutely…read morestunning...the use of color and light is like no other. I'm the owner Gypsy Floral and Events and frequently call on her to capture images of our work because I know she sees things through her lens like no one else. She recently did our headshots for our team and not only are the images incredible, the nature in which she gives direction and puts you at ease in the process is unparalleled. For the past 8 years, I've felt connected to her personally and professionally, and if you're looking for someone to understand style, nuance, and art, she's your gal!

It's true, I've never been married, so I have never had Heather Curiel take pictures of my wedding,…read moreBUT I have seen (with my own two eyes) photographs that she has taken of of other people's weddings and it makes me want to get married, just so I can have her take pictures. She has taken fancy pictures of my fancy dog and I LOVE them. You should visit her website, look at her photos, and have her take your picture!

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!

Extremely flexible and unique photos. Kept shoot fun and relaxed. Highly recommend to anyone…read morelooking for a great photographer.

My husband and I used Robert Benites Photography for our engagement photos, bridal portraits, our…read morewedding day, and now, our gender reveal and maternity photos. Robert and Mari are both amazing people and they make an awesome team! My husband and I feel like we not only left our wedding with amazing photos but also gained 2 lifelong friends. My husband and I are both very particular in our likes. We felt the photographer was the most crucial part of our wedding because they would be capturing our first steps in our journey together. We looked at their website and became instantly drawn to their unique and artistic style of photography. There were other photographers that we were considering, but none that we felt that instant connection to, and this feeling was only heightened once we met them. Robert and Mari are the type of people that are very professional but very personable. They made us go from the awkward stage of kissing in front of the camera to joking around about "glowsticks." (Ask Mari) What we LOVED most about Robert & Mari was that they constantly had us laughing and took amazing shots of those moments. They exhibited a great amount of passion for their job and it was clear to see the amount of love they have for one another. This wonderful interaction drew out our personalities as well & helped us to "loosen up." As a bride, you are going through so many steps to have your perfect wedding and of course, this can cause anxiety. Robert & Mari relieved us of our anxiety, made us feel at peace. The one thing that stood out to us that we absolutely loved was that they go above and beyond to ensure that your photos will come out the way you've always dreamed them to be, such as visiting the sites prior to the event, and even laying on the floor to get the perfect angle. We NEVER had to worry about whether they would be there on time, be at the right place, or whether or not their photos would match our creativity. What I loved most about this company was the vast selection of photo arrangements at a competitive price. This company is continuing to grow and expand their selections, which is very important for when it's time to choose your photos. Our final photos were breathtaking, from our engagements to the wedding day! Words can hardly describe the joy I felt when we viewed the final product. I can only imagine how my maternity photos will turn out!
