    The best service in Austin, no line. It's behind Justine's and the guy is so nice!!! And we love our photo

    Me and my handsome hubs.

    These photos are amazing. I have been living in Austin for three years and have been meaning to do this ever since but FINALLY got myself around to doing it last night. We went at 6 on a Sunday evening, and were the second people there. We waited about 5 minutes then the process was quick and easy. The end result was absolutely gorgeous. I want to have another one done someday for sure.

    This guy promised me salt water taffy and a stroll on the boardwalk.

    The best money you'll EVER spend being immortalized in whatever state you're in. I was thoroughly inebriated, sans makeup and some random man decided to make a cameo before whisking me away... I'm actually writing this tied up in his basement and I think he intends to lay me over railroad tracks. Please tell my cat I love her. True to it's form, come as you are and the product is timeless as it is piercing. Bravo.

    These photos make excellent gifts-- I've gifted this as an anniversary gift and was given 2 photo shoots as a pre and post birth memory. The tintype has an uncanny and almost supernatural way of capturing you at your most real and beautiful. Harsh and angelic at once. If you're looking for a unique and memorable gift to give someone, especially a parent-to-be, you won't go wrong here!

    seriously. freakin'. awesome. the bf surprised me with at photo shoot for my birthday. but not just any photo shoot.. "ok. so you had your picture taken." that is what you are thinking? right? Yeah, no. This is a tin type photo. you know, like, civil war shit. Who does that?!?! Lumiere. That's who. and not only that, he does it in a trailer. Cause all the awesome stuff in Austin comes from trailers. in an unassuming parking lot, in a trailer, you too, can have an amazing photo taken of yourself, or with your beau (as i did), or even your dog. But it's not on paper. no, people. this is a Tin Type. seriously, it was super cool. and the photo..? omg. just pure brill lance. the bf looks great and i look fat, but.... you know. It's so cool. to hold in your hand. It's a photo on a piece of metal! It takes ONLY an hour for him to develop and deliver the picture. *could that BE any more awesome? no.* So, we sat, he grabbed the shot then started developing the pic. Adrian is such a cool guy. He showed us the process and chatted with us. i barely even noticed the hour fly by. Oh. and the last chemical he uses to develop the pic has lavender oil in it, so not only do you have an awesome picture, it smells good as well. He said it actually takes about 7 days for the photo to cure, so i am looking forward to seeing the end result. But, the beginning result is awesome enough. Best $60 bucks we have spent in a while...

    Never been more excited about looking rough.  Love our unique pic!

    Very cool experience! This guy has a really unique talent and love that he has found a way to share it with others and make money with it. That's what having a passion is all about. Pricey, but hey, you get what you pay for.

    Woohoo for artisans! I love my portrait. Very cool idea, even though its expensive (its art, so it shouldn't be cheap).

    I like the authenticity of Lumiere - there is no digital anything in their trailer studio behind Justine's in E.

    Being our first professional photo shoot we were not sure of what to expect; I suspect we'll never…read moreuse any other photographer than Julia. Quite frankly, she has set the bar too high for any other photographer to come close to achieving. Nervous at first, the free spirited artist was able to put our minds at ease in record time (seriously, she had my wife relaxed in under two minutes and a half - yes, I am anal retentive enough to time that shit). The photographer is very personable, with a keen eye for 'just the right pose'. Reviewing the shots I was (and still am actually) amazed at how well she was able to capture the moment. Ladies - Julia is sweet, warm, and kind spirited. I do not believe for a minute she'd ever ask you to do anything you're uncomfortable with. Her dedication to art ensures you will look your best when you review the photos. She WILL make you into the cover girl you've always dreamed of being. Guys - Shhh, let the ladies work, you'll be happy you did. Seriously, kind of like a wedding the moment is all about her; let her enjoy the spotlight and you'll see just how beautiful your woman really is. They say a picture is worth a thousand words - until I met Julia and reviewed some of her work I would have agreed; but after seeing the awe-inspiring art she manages to conjure with a camera lens the only word that comes to mind is "WoW". I am typically articulate to a fault; but her work leaves me speechless - every time.

    About six months ago I got it in my head I wanted to do a boudoir shoot. I am in no way a classic…read morecandidate - 57 years old, 6 feet tall, boy body, nobody's idea of a pinup girl. 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
