She recommended Vanessa after reviewing her portfolio and website. I reached out to Vanessa and she afforded the details I had requested with links to her senior portrait portfolio. Given her talent and affordable packages, we booked for a stacked session of family photos and senior portraits. She was timely, friendly, creative and efficient. The turnaround time on photo receipt was rapid. Never received downloads so quick. And the photos...they are absolutely incredible. Already picking out what's going on the walls and in the yearbook. I couldn't speak more highly about these portraits and Vanessa. Call her up and schedule. You won't regret working with her.

She arranged time for me on a Saturday to ensure I would have enough time to review the proofs and make the best choice. Vanessa offered great advice for clothing and make-up and my whole experience in her studio was relaxing and fun. Vanessa had an amazing eye for the best angles and background to achieve a warm, natural look for my photo. She listened to and respected my input as well. She has a great set up in a charming studio located in North Fort Collins. If you are looking for a great headshot at a reasonable price, I would easily recommend Vanessa Houk Photography.

She, and her entire team, are consummate professionals while still knowing how to laugh with you and have a good time. My usual guards and self conscious walls fell away immediately, and I felt seen, valued, and heard for a very personal photographic journey. There is a reason she's award winning and respected in our community!

We did outdoor shots and we absolutely love them! We also ordered a canvas, and while they are pretty pricey, they are GORGEOUS! Her photos are more than just portraits--the background landscapes and clarity of the photos along with the casual shots she gets of the subjects make for a very special work of art. Highly recommend!

We all felt like she was part of the family by the end of the night. She interacted with everyone. She is extremely patient with small children. She suggested so many different things we would never have thought of. She got shots of every detail. She stayed and danced with everyone. She just blended in with our family so well. We didn't want her to leave. She will not disappoint.

I came home to Denver and found Richard with Iris Photography, AKA Zebrajellyfish in Fort Collins. I wanted the iris photography so badly that I made an immediate appointment with my guy. We both have interesting hazel eyes. Richard booked us and was WONDERFUL, he chose which eye for both of us for the best portrait and it was easy peasy. Richard continued to stay in contact and let us look and review our proof before it was processed. SERIOUSLY COOL, and unlike anything that we've seen. I am so appreciative of Iris Photography and Richard.

I have the pictures she has taken throughout our home and every time I see one it makes me happy. I told her I didn't want a canned photo of all of us smiling uncomfortably.

I'm not lying when I say I started bawling the first time I saw the pictures. Good Stuff.

Rachel was the photographer for my wedding two summers ago at the Redstone Inn. When looking for a…read morewedding photographer, I looked around and what drew my fiancé and I to Rachel was her ability to capture PEOPLE. She caught their expressions and emotions and the important moments in their lives. And not just wedding moments. Rachel spans the gap in her photography and has a very diverse portfolio of many different life moments. She is able to work with people of all ages and in all stages of their life and help them capture where they are at that moment. I really like her work. For our wedding, my fiancé and I decided that beyond table arrangements and flower bouquets, we wanted to remember the people around us and the feeling of our day, and that is why we chose Rachel. Don't get me wrong, I wanted "The Dress" photo, (and I got it =)) but more than that, I wanted good pictures of my sometimes not-so-photogenic family. Rachel nailed it. All of it. Rachel was able to capture moments that I didn't see that day and make me feel like I was there as they were playing out. She extended my wedding day! What you can't see in her portfolio is how wonderful she is to work with. Professional, personable, friendly, FUN. She came into the room where I was getting ready with my mom, sister, aunts and bridesmaid's and she just fit in. One of my girlfriends said that it felt like she was just one of us, which she was for that day, and which I have now learned is how she get's the best people shots. People feel comfortable around her. Two days after our wedding, Rachel sent us a sneak peak of our photo's. 10 days later, we had at least a thousand amazing shots in our possession. I was blown away. I have heard stories of people who wait months to get their wedding photo's and then have 300 terrible shots delivered. This was the exact opposite of my experience. Rachel was combing through her negatives during dinner. When she could have been taking a break, she was there working, sifting through thousands of outtakes to deliver us only the best shots. After being around Rachel at my wedding and seeing my photo's, one of my bridesmaids hired Rachel to shoot her wedding the following summer (See VH's review). She loves her photo's. My cousin also tried to book her for his wedding last fall, but she was already booked that weekend. Which brings me to my last point, If you like her work, book her fast! She is one of the best investments you will make. Wedding photo's last a lifetime; Make sure you have photo's that you want hanging around ;-) I am SO pleased with all of my wedding photo's. I want Rachel to capture all the important moments in my life.
