Every single photo she gave us was amazing, I absolutely loved how she captured my family. I found her by following another photographer, she takes their photos if that tells you anything. She's professional, kind and fun. I cannot recommend her enough!

Sara has photographed some of our most special moments, our engagement, our second anniversary, our maternity photos, and our newborn photos coming up in 2022. What I love about Sara is that she is so friendly and so easy to get along with! We're pro's now , but it is so easy to feel comfortable in front of the camera with her. Nothing feels unnatural and you can tell her true intention is to capture the special/unposed moments. You will have so much fun hanging out with her. She is super responsive from booking the session to day of session. She always knows the best times and best locations, which takes away the stress of having to think of that yourself. We recommend Sara for all your San Antonio area photography needs!

I always feel so awkward in front of a camera - especially those big contraptions with all those…read morespecial lenses and lights. I love taking pictures of food but when I'm the subject - the awkward glutton comes out. So, at my friend's insistence (and promise of brunch at the Pearl), I decided to join her for a morning photo shoot. I was nervous but, seeing my friend's pictures on Facebook helped me overcome any reservations about Angelica and Keith at Authentic Joy. We took photos very early in the morning around the Pearl and inside Hotel Emma. The early morning light coupled with Angelica's skills made us all look like models! Angelica and Keith worked with us to help us be as natural as possible. After shooting for awhile, I became way more comfortable, mostly in part because of Keith and and Angelica. Angelica has such a warm and engaging personality. She made us feel at ease with her silliness. She and Keith took into consideration our vision and thoughts, while giving us inspiration on what to do next. I don't know about you guys but I just want to stand around. Posing is hard! But Angelica managed to make me a convincing guest at the swanky Hotel Emma in our photos. After a few days, Angelica already edited and posted the pictures for us to preview. I'm so pleased with how our pictures turned out! I've also gotten a ton of compliments on how natural and elegant we looked in all the photos. Angelica and Keith have done weddings, quinceañeras, and family photos as well. Although they are a fledgling, local business, they have a gift for taking beautiful pictures that only many years of experience can rival. I can't wait to book them for future occasions!

For the wedding I wanted to surprise my husband since his father was no longer with us, so I asked if she could add him to one of the photos.

My daughter hired Allison Jeffers photography on April 10 for her wedding to be held December 14…read more We paid a deposit of over 40% of her fee. A month later we discovered very disturbing information about the fiancé causing the wedding to be cancelled. We were all distraught, especially the bride to be. Thirty days after the deposit was paid to Allison, and seven months before the event, we requested the photography deposit be returned. Allison had not done any work. The date was blocked out on her calendar for a short period of time and the wedding would have been in seven months, plenty of time to book another affair. Other service vendors such as the venue, lighting, lodging, transportation, bakery, and band who also not done any work to date happily refunded their deposits. The wedding planner returned most of her deposit. Even the jewelry store took back the engagement ring for a full refund. They understood our family's pain and the bride's trauma. Allison Jeffers has no compassion and only cares about money. She refuses to return the deposit. If you engage her be careful about giving her the large deposit she requests. Unexpected events happen in life. Hire vendors who will treat you with fairness and understanding.

She captured…read moreamazing moments (candid and posed) in her photos and then was able to edit them to look even better. We even included our two dogs and she managed to get so many great shots with them cooperating that I had a hard time selecting which photos I wanted to use. She is organized, professional, and really cares about her clients and her work. Her turnaround time is very quick with her photos and she is flexible on her session times/days to meet your crazy schedule. We recently found out that we are expecting our first child and I can't wait to have her shoot my maternity session and baby girl as she grows up. If you are looking for a family photographer, Ivy Rose Photography is the way to go!
