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!

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!

I'm looking forward to shooting again, and I recommend his work to anyone looking to get boudoir and bodyscape photography done!

Samantha, your costumer services skills blew me away. You really made me feel so comfortable before we even got to meet. Jonathan,, you are so talented and gifted! (Party) hats off to this duo!

What should have been one of the greatest moments of our lives turned out to be one of the worst…read more We contracted Andres Photography to handle the photography and video for our event. Little did we know this would be one of the worst decisions we could have ever made. In the contract they were supposed to have given us portraits that we never received. As if that wasn't enough, even after asking countless times for our video they never gave it to us. Despite us asking numerous times it took not only months, but over a year for them to let us know that they lost all of our wedding footage. This was devastating to us as people that were not only in those videos but who also left video messages have since passed away. We have no video of our very special day. I can't quantify the amount of stress and devastation this has caused. If you are searching for a photographer/videographer for you special day, do yourself a favor and look elsewhere if you want to ensure you will have your memories properly captured and your contract honored to its fullest. He was deceptive regarding his services and professionalism and in the end it affected so many things for us.
