She has such a calm, warm presence that instantly makes people feel comfortable in front of the camera, and it really shows in the photos. She captured so many beautiful, natural moments throughout the day. I'd absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone kind, talented, professional, and genuinely lovely to work with. She has a talent for capturing people naturally.

I can't say enough how much I love Lauren Maria Films. I hired her 11 years ago to film the birth…read moreof my children, and she stole my heart since then. She too was pregnant but listened to my vision and executed it so perfectly. We had boys just a few weeks apart. She has photographed my family every year since, except for 1 year, and I regretted not hiring her that year more than I can say!! She is sweet, so responsive, incredibly talented, and turns around the edits of the photos promptly. She's also little so you don't even notice she is there, hiding and filing special moments that I would have never known happen had she not been there. She is worth the investment 1000%, I cannot recommend her enough!

We wanted…read moreto experiment with lighting in our engagement shoot which was really fun to be a part of that creative process.. definitely recommend! Elissa listened and stuck to my likes and dislikes relating to exposure and post processing, and she went above and beyond with deliverable turnaround times and number of photos delivered.

My wife and I hired Elissa and her assistant to shoot our Austin wedding and her bridal portraits…read moreat Hamilton Pool in October 2013. We could not possibly be more pleased with her professionalism, attention to detail, personal touch, and overall cheerful demeanor. Every step of the process was stress-free, and Elissa even went above and beyond on several occasions by mailing us chocolate (always a plus), and helping us get an idea of what to expect from other parts of the wedding planning process completely unrelated to photography. Beyond her incredible diligence (all of our wedding photos were edited and posted online before we returned from our honeymoon), Elissa is also a very talented photographer who is very light on her feet. For the most part, we hardly noticed her presence (with the exception of some great, and amusing direction during the crazy family formal shots), but the photos indicate that she has a way of being everywhere at once! My mother-in-law actually expressed concern on the wedding day that she thought the entire ceremony had only been photographed from behind my wife, such that there would be no photos of her face during a very emotional event. When I saw that there were in fact gorgeous, artful and intimate photos from just about every angle--I was relieved and elated that my MOL's worries were proven to be baseless (aren't they always? haha). Elissa clearly takes great joy, and great pride in her work. I have no doubt that whatever you hire her to shoot, you will be blown away by the results.

Sarah did my engagement pictures and I LOVE them! I was really nervous about getting my pictures…read moredone but she made my fiance and I feel comfortable and got us to laugh and mess around so we didn't feel terribly awkward. There are A LOT of crappy photographers out there who overcharge for a mediocre product. I spent weeks researching photographers in the area and Sarah not only has one of the most impressive portfolios but she also has very reasonable prices. I definitely recommend calling Sarah if you appreciate good photography and are over the big impersonal photo studios and want a more intimate experience for your wedding photos or portraits!

I love Sarah so much! We hired her for our engagement and wedding photos. She is so friendly and…read moresmiley and made the whole process really fun. I found Sarah on the Knot and browsed her portfolio online. She takes amazing photos -- everything has lovely soft touch to it. We asked to meet her and talk in person. I was having a really bad day the day I met with her but her personality is so cheerful that I found myself smiling and having a great time chatting with her. I knew this is someone I wanted to have around me on my wedding day. Despite how awkward I thought the engagement photo session was going to be, I had a lot of fun. Sarah directed us the whole time ("stand closer together, chin up, relax your shoulders...") which is what I really needed. Sarah searched everywhere for the best lighting and kept moving us around as the sun went down. I think of her as "the sun chaser." She got the engagement photos back to us just a few weeks later and they were amazing! She is also very well priced. I'm so thankful she was available for our wedding date! I can't recommend her enough. Edit: We received our wedding photos from Sarah a few weeks ago and they are gorgeous and so perfect. There is a lovely mix of portraits and documentary-style photos. Sarah and her assistant captured every moment of the day. I was so happy to be able to view photos of things I wasn't able to see, like my husband getting ready and my mom tearing up during the ceremony. I couldn't be happier with the outcome of the photos and my experience interacting with Sarah.

One of the best decisions we made was to hire Christina as our photographer. We ended up getting…read moreengagement photos in our package. Our engagement photos are more than we could have asked for. Christina did a great job of getting to know us, our style and what we envisioned. She also has an incredible eye and managed to get amazing shots in beautiful lighting (and accommodated us wanting to bring our dog for some of the shots). We have not yet gotten our wedding photos but have no doubt they are amazing. I will update the review once we have them! Christina was accommodating and made sure we ere able to get all the groupings we wanted and it was wonderful and stress free. Christina was easy to work with and it was a JOY to have her be part of our wedding day. Below is the link to our engagement photos: http://christinacarrollphotography.com/samantha-jons-baylor-street-barton-creek-greenbelt-engagement-session/ We can't wait to see our wedding photos :) If you are looking for an easy to work with amazingly talented photographer look no further. You have found her. We would hire her again in a heartbeat!

Very easy to work with, had competitive rates and can take an un-photogenic person like myself and turn them into a masterpiece. It was raining the day of my wedding and Christina kept me calm and collected and worked quickly to get the shots we wanted. I really love the way she captures moments and not just people standing with a pretty background smiling. She captures people's reactions to a funny story, the in between shots when you are just talking to your new husband and I could not be more appreciative of those. She also has extensive knowledge of many venues in town and knows where all the good shots are. Bottom line. You won't be disappointed and you'll love her friendly and personable vibe. Thanks, Christina!

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!

WOW! This…read moreexperience was really special to me for multiple reasons. To be guided and dropped into a meditation and visualization before the actual photoshoot shows Camille's heart in her art and the standard she holds women in the community!

But I feel SO beautiful and confident seeing these photos and the way you captured the beauty ‍ expectations exceeded. I would recommend her services to any woman

I liked these girls a lot. Caitlin took some fabulous photos of my cats (always cats) before we left, and a bunch of lovely ones of all the ladies. Then Michael and I got engaged. Who should snap our wedding? I didn't even bother researching photographers in the area. What she was able to capture of us on August 5: WOW! So much wow. Long story short, I'm glad I listened to my gut. You should listen to ME and hire Caitlin for any engagement, wedding, and grad shoots in the Austin to Fort Worth area. No question. She's fun, professional, patient (I detest posing for things and made too many jokes and funny faces), and ridiculously talented! Fast forward a month and the photos are up and I couldn't be more pleased. Can't wait to see our wedding albums!

We received our photos only days after each event and we absolutely love them all! She is so experienced as a wedding photographer that she made the photos run as smoothly and painless as possible, especially the family photos! Actually, she really help make the whole day run smoothly! She was like our second wedding coordinator and our third mom! She helped apply my veil and made an impromptu bustle when mine broke! I don't love being in front of the camera but she always made me feel so confident and comfortable. The photos look beautiful, natural, and effortless. The day would not have been the same without her and now we will remember it forever with her photographs. We highly recommend her and would work with her in the future for any other photographer needs! Thank you so much, April Mae.

We found it so easy to relax around her, which shows in the photos. She gives easy-to-follow instructions that make the photos look great without feeling overly posed or unnatural. We had great vendors for our wedding, but April was by our favorite by far! When booking with her, she shared multiple galleries with me so I could see the flow of a whole day and get a sense for her style. She was also a preferred vendor for our venue, so she was able to even help us decide on a wedding date based on past weddings she'd photographed there (and when the greenery was most lush without being too hot). She was very flexible about rescheduling our engagement session when I had a ring disaster that required repairs. We were able to do two locations for the shoot that allowed us to get a more park-like feel with our pups and some downtown vibes, too. April is organized, well collected and a source of calm on an otherwise hectic day. Really led the flow of the day (despite having a planner), and I am SO grateful we had her as our photographer. She is also very competitively priced for the level of service she provides. Besides her absolutely amazing work, another thing that stood out was that she did not have an hour limit of on her time with us on our wedding day. It was nice knowing she would be there for everything we wanted captured. We were also SO impressed with how quickly we got our photos for both engagement and wedding galleries. We received 600+ of our photos within 48 hours of our wedding and got a several hundred more within a few weeks! It was so wonderful getting to see them so soon after and made me even more grateful we went with her after hearing horror stories of other couples not getting photos back for 4+ months. She is a master at her craft, and the proof is in the photos! We will cherish our gorgeous engagement and wedding photos every day for the rest of our lives. Thank you so much April! I will never stop singing your praises for anyone who will listen!!!
