My wife and I did our family portraits recently and had a wonderful time with Hoang Nguyen of Life…read moreStories By Hoang!  Hoang was on time (even early) for our appointment, and we never felt rushed even though it probably took us a little longer than most couples to warm up to the process. Hoang came up with so many creative ideas for our shoot at Cedar Hill State Park.  You can tell from the photos that we were having a blast!  It felt like we were just hanging out with a friend rather than having a stranger lurking around us. :) He really captured us accurately and in the most flattering way. Before the shoot, Hoang was very responsive to our questions, especially about where/when to shoot (as we all know, DFW weather is rather unpredictable) and what to wear. We couldn't have been happier with the choices he made since the pictures turned out amazing! And the turnaround time was impressive. Everyone LOVES the photos! We would wholeheartedly recommend Life Stories By Hoang for any photography projects. If you take a look at his portfolio, the quality of his work speaks for itself. But even more importantly, we truly enjoyed the process of working with him, both on the day of our shoot and in the weeks leading up to it. We can't wait to work with him again!

Highly recommend!!!!! Lisa is an absolute pro and an incredible value at $50 for professional…read moreshots. She is talented at optimizing angles, adjusting lighting, giving direction on the most flattering poses. It isn't a natural thing for most to have their photos (high resolution close ups) taken. Lisa makes it easy and comfortable. Furthermore, she does some minor airbrushing/photoshop to streamline the photos. It is no surprise thar she has a history in the design field. She is a natural at bringing out the nuances and details to create a flattering and professional photo. Thank you Lisa!

She kept the session moving and interacted so well with my littles ones (2 and 4)...they had fun, which made all the difference!

We cannot say enough good things about Sarah Hoover Photography! I found her here on Yelp and could…read morenot be happier! Our Christmas family photo turned out amazing and Sarah was quick, professional and catered to the fact that I have 3 crazy kiddos under five. Cannot say enough! I'm looking forward to our next shoot!

***Best of the Best***…read more Oh my gosh, I happened upon this local photographer and couldn't be more pleased! I saw her super cute portfolio and was in love. We were in a bind just before the holidays, and Sarah made time to squeeze us in. Her pricing was great, especially compared to other area photographers, and she was local. All bonuses in selecting a photographer. Once I met Sarah, I quickly realized that she was warm, friendly and humorous with us and our kids. Totally needed for family photos, especially if you want some photos with laughter and real life emotion. In advance, she asked us specifically what we were looking for, and on the day of the event, she was prepared with a few props (although I also brought some of my own), and she whipped it all together for a way better plan than I'd imagined. I wanted some natural setting photos, not super posed. And she got us laughing, and captured the moment. She even had some creative poses that turned out CRAZY cute. Those turned out to be my favorites. And all her photos, have become my most treasured family photography yet. She comes armed with some nice photography equipment (i'm no expert), but the lenses definitely looked pretty spectacular. When photographing us, she maneuvered quickly to capture just about every angle, and every photo came out ridiculously crisp with FABULOUS lighting, and even some delicious bokeh. We went to her, but she's mobile and will come to the location of your choice. I can't imagine a much better setting though, than her neighborhood around Bear Creek Park. Fall photos come out great with tons of leaves, and changing colors. Spring and Summer are green as green can be. All perfect for some gorgeous outdoor photos. I usually hate myself in photos, but thank goodness for Photoshop, as she did some very natural photo editing that made the photos absolute perfection. Her edited photos were super speedy in reaching my email inbox. She leverages a secure online system to provide me access to download my high resolution photos. Easy peasy! And without even requesting, she sent me a few goodies for the following holiday, to use in social media. Seriously, could she be more awesome? Who does this? Love her! When we moved here, I was totally overwhelmed with finding the right family photographer. Thankfully I found Sarah, and and from here on out, she's officially our family photographer. Her business and photography matches my style and my budget, and the end product will always be gorgeous, lasting, photo memories of my most precious people.

Her photos come out like MAGIC! She does not change you in photoshop. This woman- whether you…read morebelieve it or not- sees your beauty.

I completely entrust myself to Carole with her camera! She has never failed to capture those…read moremoments when I am relaxed enough that my real self emerges, the self that she insists is beautiful; so much so, she proves it to me. The shoots are pleasantly distracting and mildly chaotic; I got caught up in the preparation, the hair and makeup session, and forgot to be nervous for awhile. Lots of conversation and encouragement and, for some, a little wine, later, the shoot itself is on, and the work is underway for all ... Those poses can be tough! But as Carole says, and proves, the more uncomfortable holding the pose is, the more flattering the shot will be! And she's positioning too ... there's no standing behind a tripod for her ... she's climbing on tables and ducking under chairs and shelves, leaning this way and that, all for the sake of catching exactly the right angle where your natural beauty shows through the best! And she's so excited during the shoot, she's showing the in-camera views every few shots, making the entire process a truly collaborative one -- what a comfort! And best of all, there's no time or chance to be anxious! I fully, without reservation, recommend Carole and her gift of Boudoir Photography!
