I know I'm just adding to the pile of positive remarks about Nicole's work & manner, but it's worth…read morenoting. It's the least I could do for what she has given me. Not only is Nicole incredibly skilled with her camera and use of natural and ambient lighting (even on a sort of gray, finicky day like ours was), but she's really gifted with working with cats (and I'm sure dogs, too). We did some of the portraits inside at home, and some outside in the garden near our house. Our cat, Cleo is seldom impressed by conventional toys or noisemakers but Nicole seemed to know exactly how to get him to look interested and cooperate - plus her magical cat toys must've had kitty crack on them -- Cleo loved them way better than anything we've ever gotten him. Also, it's worth saying that Nicole's method was very relaxed and flexible. She never forced Cleo into doing this or that - she let Cleo sort of lead the way, resulting in zero tension despite the unusual circumstances (from Cleo's perspective). Cleo is notoriously un-photogenic, given that he has black fur and always seems to hate it when I point my phone or camera at him. This is one of the reasons I felt it worth it to hire a pro. Cleo is almost 14 years old as I write this review - he's still really active and fun, but he's not getting any younger. I'm so glad I finally bit the bullet and hired Nicole for Cleo's pet portrait. It was worth every cent and she was such a pleasure to work with. I really like her personality and style, and especially the beautiful photos I ended up with. I am ever grateful for her service.

Nicole's photography is unparalleled in it's style and beauty…read more As a photographer myself, it's the kind of imagery that makes me want to give up shooting pictures altogether, to bag up all my cameras and lenses in a big Hefty sack and dump them into the river. It's that good ... I recently hired Nicole to shoot portraits of my wife and pets (two dogs, Kaya and Shonee) and have to say that I am MORE than impressed with the results. Just last night I was reviewing the digital images when one of the photos really touched me. No exaggeration, my eyes were welling up with tears! There is something so special about her perspective, something so sublime about her style, that there aren't enough adjectives available to properly describe it. Beautiful. Powerful. Captivating. Expressive. Smooth. Engaging. Emotional. Exciting. Playful. Contemplative. Serene. Intriguing. Perceptive. Like the ingredients of a gourmet dish, all of these apply in different proportions, depending on the subject and the scene. I have never been a big fan of framing portraits and mounting them on the wall in my home, but this time, I'm already thinking about which images to get printed and how to frame them. Nicole's photography is art ...

So glad that we found Krista and Ruff Adventures! After meeting Krista at our shared vet we decided…read moreto have her take our 14 year old, Ella, out for an "Honor" photo session. My husband and I have 4 dogs (that we spoil like they are our children) and we instantly felt comfortable sending our elderly dog (along with some props) with Krista for the morning. A few hours later Krista returned our extremely happy Ella after visiting downtown Austin, the green belt and wildflower fields. A few hours later, Krista gave us a sneak peak of some of the unedited photos. As soon as we saw how talented she is we asked her to book us to take more pics of our other dogs. Today Krista dropped off Ella's hardback book, and wow!!!! She truly captured her young-at-heart spirit. I'm not sure how she got so much energy and variety of facial expression in one morning from our girl, but I could not be happier with the quality of the pictures and the book! For our second session we asked Krista to take pictures of our two American Bulldogs at our house. Taking pictures of these two children is no simple task... One is a 17 month old female, 95lbs and in heat....and the other is 22 month old male and 85lbs... We got to watch Krista in action with our pups and she truly is some kind of dog-whisperer! We can't wait to see the results! Extremely professional, high quality pictures, high quality ( and not flimsy) photo book, well worth the money. Thrilled that we found Krista and we HIGHLY recommend her to fellow dog lovers!!!

My dog is friendly senior dog and I consider him a bolter (not so good off leash)but she was able to take him out and get him to obey her commands which resulted in AMAZING photos!!! They were gone for the entire morning and when he came back he was a happy camper. It's like taking your dog to doggy daycare and getting great pictures in return that'll last a life time. If you are wanting to have great memories captured of your dog then look no further. Krista is THE ONE! I would trust her with my dog in a heartbeat and my dog is like my child. Thank you for the awesome photos!!

If you're reading this, you have found an amazing photographer and person to trust in capturing…read morewhat is most precious to you. In short, Norah will be able to provide you with a truly wonderful experience and beautiful photos to treasure always. I'd like to share my experience with you and invite you to read further! I had the pleasure of working with Norah when she came to shoot my Jack Russell, Toby and I after I found out he was diagnosed with cancer. I was told he probably didn't have much longer to live and he had been such a huge part of my life since he came into this world. While he was still active I wanted to capture his spirit and our bond with some professional photos. I stumbled upon Norah Levine Photography and I am so thankful that I did. After I reached out to Norah through her website she was very quick to respond and before we even talked about photos or business, she wanted to hear about me and Toby. I could tell immediately that Norah was very sincere and passionate about not just photography, but the special bond between animals and their guardians. We set up a time to come meet Toby and go over the vision I had. Norah came by and she was so warm, kind, and spent a lot of time getting to know Toby and his big personality. We talked about the things I wanted to try and capture, and how we would go about that. Norah was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and patient with all my questions (and there were a lot!). She put me at ease as I was a bit nervous because this was so important to me. On the day of the shoot, we had so much fun and the whole time everything flowed naturally and went very smoothly, which can be a huge challenge when you're trying to get the still attention of a JRT. Norah was very creative and thorough - she had great ideas on backdrops, locations, angles and all those technical things - she was a pro. I could not wait to see how things turned out! Soon after our shoot Norah was able to share proofs of the photos from the shoot. I couldn't believe how amazing they turned out! I was all smiles and tearing up because she truly captured what I had hoped for and the photos were beautiful beyond what I imagined. Norah offers electronic and physical copies of your photos which was very important to me, including photo books and other beautifully-crafted items. I still show off my pictures with pride to friends, family and coworkers. It never fails that I get gasps, "ooh's" and "wow's." Toby has survived his battle with cancer and is doing very well. I will treasure these photos for a long time to come and if you are looking to capture something or someone the very best way possible, you have found her. Your trust will not be misplaced. I'm trying to think of any part of the process that could have been improved but I truly have only positive things to share. I am very thankful to Norah for her amazing work, professionalism, thoughtfulness and sincerity.
