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!

Amazing Experience with Our Newborn Photographer!…read more As first-time parents, we were a bundle of nerves during baby Gabrielle's one-month milestone photoshoot. However, our worries vanished the moment photographer extraordinaire, Ms. Alison, stepped in. She was incredibly professional, courteous and worked tirelessly to ensure each capture showcased our little one's charm. Her photos exceeded all expectations; we received not just beautiful pictures but precious keepsakes of baby's first moments that will forever be treasured. Alexa's calm demeanor put everyone at ease, transforming what could have been a stressful event into a delightfully memorable occasion. She demonstrated exceptional talent and expertise in capturing the essence and innocence of newborn babies which has led us to consider her as our family photographer for all future occasions! A truly heart-warming experience that deserves nothing less than five stars - highly recommend for your upcoming shoots, especially if you want to create lasting memories.

Brandon has the ability to make you feel incredibly comfortable in front of the lens, and the resulting photographs do not at all feel "posed" in a prom photo-like way because you are at ease throughout the process. During our engagement session and on our wedding day it felt more like we were hanging out with a good friend who just so happened to be skillfully snapping photos of us while we were chatting. He has a great eye and is not afraid to gently nudge you outside of your comfort zone to get a great shot, all the while respecting your tolerance levels for how far you're willing to trek through brush and up sandy hills, for example. I know that I will cherish my photos for years to come, and I can't thank Brandon enough for sharing his craft with the world and with my husband and I in particular. I highly recommend Brandon for your photography needs -- you absolutely will not regret it!

At the beginning when I was deciding between photographers for my wedding, she was happy to hop on the phone with me, and it was clear that our wedding would be in amazing hands. Also, her pricing is incredibly reasonable, especially for how stunning her work is. We unfortunately had to cancel our wedding due to Coronavirus / COVID-19 mandatory closures, and Lisa was so easy to work with, even though we didn't want to reschedule our wedding right away (which not all vendors were willing to work with us). We can't wait to work with you in the future!

After almost 3 months of looking at our amazing wedding photos (December 2023 wedding), I realized…read moreI never wrote a review for Matt Montalvo Photography, and he deserves for the public to know just how good he is. I read lots of reviews for Austin area photographers and just loved Matt's sample photos. Lucky for us, Matt was available to photograph our wedding. He showed up on time and captured beautiful moments during our wedding, but his true talent shined when we stepped outside to take photos. Matt coached us (and our kids) on how to pose and made magical memories that we truly cherish. For the price and the time we had Matt on site, he did a phenomenal job. While we were reluctant to spend money on a professional photographer, we also didn't want to risk missing precious photos with family and friends. Hire Matt Montalvo Photography and you will get exactly the photos you wanted without even asking. Matt is a pro and it shows. Hire him and know your photos will make you and your family look better than you imagined.
