About six months ago I got it in my head I wanted to do a boudoir shoot. I am in no way a classic…read morecandidate - 57 years old, 6 feet tall, boy body, nobody's idea of a pinup girl. Did my google searching for photographers in Houston and contacted about a dozen. Perhaps half responded they weren't available, and half didn't respond. However, one adorable young lady in Austin (3 hours away), Julia Vie of Vivian's Muse, said she was very excited about shooting me! We exchanged several emails about the process and logistics and had an extended phone chat. My trepedation morphed into excitement and anticipation. Let's do this!! The big day! Julia shot perhaps 400 photos in an hour or so, all the while offering instruction, incredible encouragement and showing me what she had captured in her viewfinder. All with a monster camera and first class professional lighting. We shot on the couch, on the stairway, in the window, on the bed. Woah, so exhilerating! Nervousness was gone and my inner goddess had taken over. I'm not one for exaggeration but this was truly one of the best hours of my life. Back the next morning to review and select proofs. Oh no, her computer jammed up, wasn't happening. No problem in the digital age. We had more girly chat, comparing notes on all of the fun we had had the preceding day. A few days later the proofs arrived via email. I was blown away. OH MY! That cannot possibly be me. But...it is! Being a goddess, even for a short while, really gets in your head. And stays there. Who would have thought the idea of having a little fun by trying something different would turn into a life changing event? Thank you so very, very much Julia! And, girls, if you have any lingering doubts about treating yourself to this experience, all I can say is do not delay, call Julia today! Hugs, Michelle

She did a great job easing my nerves, since I'm her Aunt, but we ended up with some stunning pictures to mark my 50 year old milestone. I recommend getting your pictures done in all stages of your life from your 20's on up so you have a professional collection of yourself to reflect upon. Don't put it off another day, book with Julia and see just how beautiful you are!

We truly love supporting Black-owned businesses--big or small. We believe in the culture, and we…read morebelieve in uplifting our own because the culture represents us, and we represent it. That's what makes writing this so painful. I never imagined I would have to leave a negative review, especially about someone who looks like me. But after everything we've been through, my heart is heavy, and this experience has left us genuinely broken. The photo shoot itself started beautifully. The atmosphere was warm, the energy was good, and for a moment, it felt like we were creating something meaningful. This was our first professional photo shoot--my girlfriend was pregnant with our first child together. It was a once-in-a-lifetime moment. A moment filled with excitement, hope, and love. Something we were so proud of. Something we trusted this photographer to help us preserve forever. But without warning, everything shifted. Although we were still scheduled for another 20 minutes, we suddenly felt rushed out because she had a podcast to attend immediately after. The joy disappeared, and so did the professionalism. What began as a cherished experience quickly turned into discomfort and confusion. Promises were made--but never kept. For over two and a half months, we have been reaching out, trying to receive the photos we paid for. During that time, our baby was born. That chapter of our lives has already passed. There is no redo. No second chance. What should have been a beautiful memory now feels permanently tainted. We paid her full price without hesitation. We did not negotiate or haggle. We trusted her as an artist and respected her worth. In return, we asked only for what was promised. The images we requested were never delivered. The edits we were assured would be done were never made. Our calls and emails went unanswered. At one point, I called from a different number. She answered. She told me she would edit the photos as soon as she got home and make them "look great." Fifteen days passed after that call. Still nothing. When I expressed how unprofessional this was and asked for a full refund, she refused. My girlfriend is heartbroken. What should have been one of the happiest moments of her life--her first pregnancy, her first maternity shoot--has turned into a constant reminder of disappointment. We see other maternity photos from her clients, and it hurts. Not out of jealousy, but grief. Everyone else received their memories. We're still begging for ours. We feel ignored. We feel taken advantage of. And what hurts the most is that this pain comes from someone within our own community--someone we wanted to support, trust, and uplift. This experience has left us feeling defeated and deeply saddened. No one should have to chase someone for something they already paid for. No one should have their most meaningful moments held hostage. And no family should walk away from such a special time feeling this broken

His photos and his love made me like the way I look again. The shots are wonderful and abundant it was actually very hard to choose! Quality is amazing. Lots of clothing and lighting changes. Lots of play. And the proofs were back to me super timely. Thoughtfulness, respect, and love were in every second Arthur took with me and I am so grateful and so pleased.

Arthur made it really easy to prepare for the shoot by providing a list of picture references for different actor types you might want to consider for your headshots. He also sent a detailed example video on what clothing options you can pull from your wardrobe to bring a specific look to life! (Tip: watch that video and bring LOTS of clothing options to your shoot!) Arthur is talented, kind, and made me feel comfortable and confident throughout the whole shoot. Arthur's pictures are ALWAYS such great quality and he's an actor as well so he understands the industry and how to properly market your brand. You can tell he puts a lot of care into his craft. The HMUA I worked with for my shoot was Raychill James and I loved working with her as well! She was really sweet, understood how to portray each character type, and made me feel really beautiful! I am so so pleased with my final shots and can't wait to work with ABM Photography again soon!
