She made the entire session feel relaxed and natural, even with a toddler in tow and multiple generations involved. My 2.5-year-old daughter had a blast--and anyone with a toddler knows that's no small feat during a photo session! She delivered both the sneak peeks and full album exactly when she said she would, and the photos are absolutely stunning. We'll treasure these forever. Highly, highly recommend J Noel Photography for anyone looking for beautiful, heartfelt family photos. We're so grateful we found her!

I can't say enough wonderful things about Nicole's work. We used her for our engagement photos, my…read morebridal portraits, and for our wedding. She was great to work with in so many ways - flexible in scheduling, open to our location ideas, straightforward about her pricing and what her packages included, always punctual - but best of all was how comfortable she made me and my husband feel in front of the camera. My husband is a very, very handsome man (I swear I'm only a little bit biased), but he did not know how to take a good photograph. Until Nicole came along, every photo I had of him his eyes were closed, or crossed, or his mouth was hanging open; he was just generally awkward in front of the camera. Nicole immediately put him at ease. Right from the start she had him cracking up laughing, relaxed and happy, and that definitely shows in our photos. That shoot was when we knew we had found the perfect person to work with. Most other vendors had a list of locations they shot at, and we wanted to do ours at the "til death do us part" mural downtown, and then at a carnival. Other photographers were incredibly hesitant - especially about shooting at night, at a carnival - but Nicole was game right away. She did an amazing job shooting us in a difficult situation, and her photos look great: beautiful, colorful, glowy carnival lights; romantic shots on the carousel and ferris wheel; even some really tough shots of us in the hall of mirrors! When it came time for my bridal portraits I was totally comfortable shooting with Nicole, but not quite comfortable with myself. Like 99% of brides, I was losing weight for the wedding, and wasn't where I wanted to be. I was so nervous that the photos would turn out terribly, that I would hate the way I looked and then start hating my dress and dreading the big day, but I shouldn't have been. Nicole was a great coach, talking me through poses, telling me to tilt my head this way, turn to the light that way, complimenting me, and just making me feel really confident. My bridal portraits turned out absolutely gorgeous. The day of our wedding, Nicole was a joy to have her around. Her enthusiasm was culpable, and she was friendly, upbeat, and sweet. Her photos of me getting ready are amazing - these were not shots that were important to me, but are now some of my favorites. She got great photos of my guests milling around before the ceremony, including some real stunners of my young nephews (the ring bearers). During the ceremony she somehow faded into the background while still getting great angles of me and my husband holding hands, exchanging rings and vows, laughing with each other and our wedding parties, and our friends and family surrounding us with love and warmth. After the ceremony she was a great marshall, getting those who needed to be in photos in and those who needed to get out of photos out - just one more thing that requires a huge amount of tact and delicacy that Nicole handled beautifully! She never misses a detail, down to our menus and guestbook at the reception, beautiful shots of my husband and I cutting the cake together, our guests laughing and talking, and makes everyone looks gorgeous. Her editing is superb, and her prices for prints, books, and DVDs are better than I've found by far. I really just can't say enough great things about Nicole. We can't wait for our next shoot with her - Christmas photos with our doggies. We've found a photographer for life!

The first thing that drew me to Nicole was her editing style. When looking at other people's…read morewedding photos I knew I was drawn to a specific style of editing and Nicole fit that bill. The first time we met to discuss quotes I felt like I had known her forever. She is such a sweet soul and is amazing at what she does. Her pricing was lower than most in the area, but her quality surpasses most everyone. So far I have only received my 'sneak peeks' back and they are SPECTACULAR!!! I am dying to see the rest. They are light and airy without being overly brightened and they editing is perfect. She was perfect to snap the pictures that mattered most to me as well as ones I would have never thought to ask for. If you need a wedding photographer Nicole Ryan Photography is the way to go!

I visited on Friday to have Thing Two's photos taken for a cover shoot for Austin Family Magazine…read more https://austinfamily.com/ (Thing Two will be on the cover in September). The photographer, Jordan, has a remarkable talent for capturing dynamic shots. Her work truly brings out the personality in her subjects. She takes photos for various occasions including senior photos, family photos, creative photos that capture an artistic moment and so much more. When clients enter the studio, they are greeted with a plethora of her creative works. The works are in matte and glossy finishes to match 'the vibe' of the photo taken. During the photoshoot, Jordan's professionalism was obvious as she was able to capture key shots of Thing Two in just a few shots. Furthermore, the direction that Jordan gives her clients as it relates to lighting, posing are clear and concise making the session with her not only efficient but easy! As an independent business owner, Jordan works around a client's schedule so they don't feel obligated to squeeze in a session that may not work for them. Last, Jordan only focuses on one client at a time (no double booking). If looking for a local photographer (which I seem to have found quite a few) in Central Texas, definitely give Jordan a call. *Technical note, no photos can be taken during a session of the session. #supportlocal

She did a great job on the pics and we had plenty of options to choose from.

Several years on I still have this impression. I expect we'll be in contact again when our grandchild arrives!

Amy has a remarkable way of making our teenagers feel so comfortable in front of the camera. For those of you who know that can be an extremely daunting task. She makes them feel so confident in themselves. She make each pose so purposeful with every hand placement, chin placement, eye placement. She is stellar at creating comfortable groupings with balanced colors. I nicknamed Amy "Our Magician" because she is a magician of the light. She takes the most heartfelt vivid images and turns them into our most precious treasures. If it can be helped, I will never hire another photographer other than Amy. She is worth every single penny.

She has been quick to respond to emails and very easy to work with.

We were dodging several storms on both the days of the engagement photos (Oct 2015) and the wedding (April 2016) and Caitlin did a great job at using the overcast weather on both days to work to our advantage. We had to make a few changes to our schedule after making the initial reservation (originally 2 events to photograph) and Caitlin was very accommodating at working with us to find a fair price and add the 3rd event to her schedule. She was extremely friendly and not pushy like so many of the photographers I have seen at friend's weddings. We even had several family members and friends reach out to us afterward and tell us how nice she was and what an amazing job she did. I would not hesitate to work with her again and I'm sure we will try to track her down for the next event we need professionally photographed. Thanks for a great job, Caitlin!

Best solo photo session I've had in years. Hire Paige for headshots!…read more Her studio is beautiful with lofty ceilings, a clean, open space and warm feel. Though I've done photo and video for years, I am not someone who's good in front of a camera.

She's professional, talented and made getting headshots (something I honestly dreaded doing) a fun and easy experience. Thanks for your time and expertise!

Jessica did our engagement photos, my bridals, and our wedding day, and I would enthusiastically…read moreand repeatedly recommend her to anyone who asks! I originally chose her because I liked the lighting in her photos and her ability to capture natural poses and shots, and then her reasonable prices (I mean by far more reasonable than any other wedding photographer I found) sealed the deal. I was initially apprehensive about our engagements, as my then-fiance isn't all that photogenic in that he has a hard time relaxing in front of the camera. Our photos turned out amazing, and I got so excited for Jessica to do our wedding! She was a great sport and drove all the way to College Station so we could do the shoot at my fiance's fire station. I loved how she would tell us what to do and where to look so we never felt awkward, and yet everything looked so natural. My fiance loved her as much as I did and looks completely at ease in all his photos. My bridals were equally beautiful, and the wedding day was a dream. I have to mention that the icing on the cake is Jessica's great attitude and personality. Even in the midst of fidgety or missing family members she was smiley and upbeat. She is so encouraging and excited about the shots she's taking that it's infectious. Because of our big wedding I was wondering if one photographer would be enough to capture everything, and she totally did. There are shots that make you wonder how she got from here to there so quickly. She got all the little details and every important moment. She's super discreet and stays in the background very professionally. All our family and friends just gush about the pictures when they see them, and so I would very much recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a pretty shoot in the park or a full out wedding package!
