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!

As soon as I booked Jodi I felt so much more at ease about the wedding planning! She is so friendly and helpful and definitely works WITH YOU and trys to find out exactly what your style is and how you work as a couple. She was quick to reply to emails and was on top of absolutely everything and on the day of the wedding I couldn't imagine having anyone else as my photographer. Not only did the photographs come out beautiful but all of the memories I have and will cherish were captured perfectly by Jodi!

Although I'm not a professional photographer, I have good knowledge about photography and also own some photography gears and softwares at home so I can really tell the differences! Steph did an amazing job on our family photoshoot! She is patient, understanding, creative, and knowledgeable. I was surprised that she actually visited the field site one day before the shoot to make sure everything look goods and suggested a different site due to grass overgrown. She is flexible with time and date as she only does one shoot per week and devotes 110% to each shoot. I saw photographers doing five 15-minute sessions a day and let me assure you we don't get the same quality here. She listened to my preferences on shooting, styling, and editing and delivered amazing pictures in just one week. I plan to do a second session with her and highly recommend her to everybody.

We absolutely loved…read morehow the photos turned out as Brandi was able to capture beautiful moments of our 11 month old and family through out the session. She made all 3 of us feel at ease, and it shows in the pictures! Hours prior to the session she was available for communication in regards to last minute outfit concerns, and she was prompt in all communication through out the process. We will definitely be booking another session with Brandi in the future as the quality of photos were beyond expectations. I really appreciated her flexibility with booking and the turn around time for photos, she made a potentially stressful event seem effortless.

Be Warned!!! While the photos may turn out beautifully, The…read moreexperience was horrific!! We picked everything out over a month in advance. Sent our inspiration photos. We bought all the stuff to go with. Dresses, jewelry, props, smoke bombs, etc. Paid a nearly $800 total before the shoot. To have a terrible experience! So terrible, that I was hoping the pictures would come out nice, with the photographers editing skills, to make up for the terrible photoshoot experience itself. From the beginning of bad experiences (but not limited to) : 1) She arrived late. (Should have been there at 5 and didn't arrive until 530, left the house at 540, arrived at location at 6)Side note**We quickly lost daylight during the shoot because of this** 2) She was sent images of the props ahead of time, and did NOT plan accordingly 3) Arrived in a bad mood and that bad vibe permeated the entire photoshoot 4) She took a 2 week last minute vacation and flew back in on THE DAY OF the shoot... 5) She "vented"/complained about her life and problems the entire drive there n back, and also DURING the shoot. Very unprofessional! (I can literally tell you, down to the detail, of why she is on the verge of divorce) 6) She insulted my husband's "Mexican" culture. After pointing it out, she continued about WHY she doesn't like "Mexican Men". Then proceeds to insult my profession. 7) Gave direction ONE time!! The entire rest of the shoot we were looking in opposite directions or had different looks on our faces. She didn't tell us where to look... Smile or be serious. There was NOTHING!! This had us feeling awkward and the photos looking unbalanced. 9) She chose a place that required us to nearly HIKE down a hill with rocks! In heels! 10) She came with just the camera. No other equipment. 11) She helped carry 1 item down the hill. A pumpkin! While we went up and down to get our props, in heels!! 13) We asked for a specific type of editing, dark,gloomy, and witchy. She said she would do "her style" and then some of "ours". Then complained when we asked for 3 specific photos to have edits added. She could have just said that it was outside her capabilities and we would've understood. Instead she guilted us with the amount of photos taken and "excessive time given to take photos due to props" when a) she was made aware of props b) as the photographer she is in charge of managing time not us c) Didnt help with unloading/setting things up. In reality the amount of time we spent was roughly a little over an hour. Brandi apologized for the bad experience on Tues Oct 22 and decided to give a partial refund and let us have the edits that were already done. At 2am the next morning, she sent a text saying she gave the full refund and deleted all of our photos!!! That was so childish and petty! All FACTS!! She will hold your photos hostage! If you don't talk to her when "she wants" she will delete everything!! BE WARNED!!
