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!

Additionally, my guests have expressed their sincere love and appreciation to have such beautiful photos from a lovely event.

Ariel will be the only photographer I work with again in the future for both personal and professional events. Additionally, I have already referred Ariel to other contacts.

Jessica Roop was an incredible stylist for my sisters wedding this weekend. She was extremely…read moretalented but also quick and efficient with her timeline. We were actually ahead of the schedule for the photographer because she was so great and worked hard to keep everyone on track. She was so kind and professional to all of the wedding party. My sisters makeup was absolutely stunning and we all received compliments throughout the night on our hairstyles! I highly recommend Jessica Roop for your big day or special event!

After searching for a stylist that was not outrageously priced, yet was highly reviewed, I hired…read moreJessica. Her prices were slightly less than some stylists I contacted. During the trial she did two hair styles, neither was 100% what I wanted, but she planned to do things from each of the styles. She did my airbrush make-up, with false lashes, during the trial as well. After doing a trial with Jessica, I had concerns that my hair would not be exactly like I would want it, which was a true vintage style with 2-3 large pin curls and a high/big swooped bang (think vintage hollywood), but after spending $205 on the trial ($100 hair, $105 make-up), I hesitated to book another stylist. The day of my wedding Jessica arrived on time and did hair and make-up for my mom, sister, younger cousin and myself. Everyone's hair and make-up turned out well and Jessica did do touch-ups prior to leaving. My hairstyle turned out very well and I had many compliments on the vintage look. Jessica nailed it! She did however, leave before helping us place my veil into my style. My mom and sister handled it, but we were disappointed she left without helping; she did practice with it during the trial. We have received our wedding photos and video and I was disappointed to see that in photos taken 1 hour after my hair style was completed, the curl/bobbypin was falling out and sticking off my head at a 90 degree angle (we were not running, in the wind, etc.). This may be minor, but when I paid over $200 for a stylist, I'd expect my hair to hold for that time. Thankfully my mom and sister were able to fix it when I arrived to the ceremony site. Several other photos post-ceremony also have hair in the back falling out of the pins, which was very disappointing. The other's hair and make-up held fairly well throughout, but did have a few pins fall out as well. Overall I was happy the day of (which is what mattered), but disappointed after seeing the photos (which is what we have forever).

Amazing Experience with Our Newborn Photographer!…read more As first-time parents, we were a bundle of nerves during baby Gabrielle's one-month milestone photoshoot. However, our worries vanished the moment photographer extraordinaire, Ms. Alison, stepped in. She was incredibly professional, courteous and worked tirelessly to ensure each capture showcased our little one's charm. Her photos exceeded all expectations; we received not just beautiful pictures but precious keepsakes of baby's first moments that will forever be treasured. Alexa's calm demeanor put everyone at ease, transforming what could have been a stressful event into a delightfully memorable occasion. She demonstrated exceptional talent and expertise in capturing the essence and innocence of newborn babies which has led us to consider her as our family photographer for all future occasions! A truly heart-warming experience that deserves nothing less than five stars - highly recommend for your upcoming shoots, especially if you want to create lasting memories.

Her patience with young kids and dogs is incredible and never once did we feel rushed despite my toddler refusing to get in front of the camera for a good 30 minutes. I hired her again and she also shot me and my extended family (3 generations including toddlers and dog) and everyone felt comfortable and had fun too. You might feel awkward and think there's no way we took any good photos in the chaos of kids, dogs, and grandparents moving about but she has the magic touch of capturing your best moments you're not even aware of. She's also a dream to work with on post-production edits and her gallery interface is so easy to use for viewing and downloading. I cannot recommend Laura enough - she'll be our family photographer for YEARS to come!

She took my photos but also got to know me and who I am as a person... which is hardly true for many pictures that are taken. We shot indoors and outdoors and then I got pictures back (with edits) and I felt like I could be on the cover of a fashion editorial. If you are looking for nice pictures, wedding portraits, or anything else I would definitely recommend her. So polished and professional. So easy. Please, you will not regret it.

About Ben: I've…read morebeen working with Ben for a couple of years now (I'm a musician) and can truly testify to the awesome works he's done. Ben isn't your average studio photographer. I love that he places himself in the field amongst the people. Whether it's a live action shot or a blank stare into the lens, Ben finds an opportunity in every shot. The Photoshop affects are not over done which retains the rawness that I love in his photography. Cost & Availability: Compared to others I would say that his probably in the mid range. Now this doesn't mean that he couldn't charge more, but it makes him more accessible. As far as availability, just like anything else, advance notice is key. I can usually call Ben up for a shoot 2 weeks in advance. Overall: I enjoy Ben as a photographer and person. He's chill and laid back like me and doesn't mind constructive criticism. It's been a fun time watching him grow his talent and I look forward to working with him soon.

Did my google searching for photographers in Houston and contacted about a dozen. Perhaps half responded they weren't available, and half didn't respond. However, one adorable young lady in Austin (3 hours away), Julia Vie of Vivian's Muse, said she was very excited about shooting me! We exchanged several emails about the process and logistics and had an extended phone chat. My trepedation morphed into excitement and anticipation. Let's do this!! The big day! Julia shot perhaps 400 photos in an hour or so, all the while offering instruction, incredible encouragement and showing me what she had captured in her viewfinder. All with a monster camera and first class professional lighting. We shot on the couch, on the stairway, in the window, on the bed. Woah, so exhilerating! Nervousness was gone and my inner goddess had taken over. I'm not one for exaggeration but this was truly one of the best hours of my life. Back the next morning to review and select proofs. Oh no, her computer jammed up, wasn't happening. No problem in the digital age. We had more girly chat, comparing notes on all of the fun we had had the preceding day. A few days later the proofs arrived via email. I was blown away. OH MY! That cannot possibly be me. But...it is! Being a goddess, even for a short while, really gets in your head. And stays there. Who would have thought the idea of having a little fun by trying something different would turn into a life changing event? Thank you so very, very much Julia! And, girls, if you have any lingering doubts about treating yourself to this experience, all I can say is do not delay, call Julia today! Hugs, Michelle

She did a great job easing my nerves, since I'm her Aunt, but we ended up with some stunning pictures to mark my 50 year old milestone.

Don't put it off another day, book with Julia and see just how beautiful you are!
