Beyond that, though, is what sets her apart. Her warm hearted nature and humor will leave you feeling right at home and ready for a great photo shoot. She truly brings the best out of you in your shoots and really knows how to capture your character in her shots. I have only had her photograph me for music promotional purposes, but I definitely plan on working with her more in the future. If you have a need for high quality photography from a high quality person, please contact Brenda Ladd today! You won't regret it!

Our engagement shoot with Joshua and Parisa was extremely easy and a lot of fun! I enjoyed how they…read moretook the time to sit with us before to shoot to get to know us. I feel like that gives them a different eye behind the lens when shooting couples and capturing more than a pretty picture. They captured who we were as a couple and they also made something I've always wanted to try with photos happen-- COLOR bomb photography!! We loved our photos and engagement video!!

Joshua and Parisa were amazing! They did photography and videography for our July 2020 microwedding…read moreat Chapel Dulcinea, and were an absolute pleasure to work with. I can't believe the quality of video and pictures that we received for an incredibly competitive price! Before the wedding, Parisa spoke with me at length multiple times to answer every single one of my questions and to help put my mind at ease when there was a real chance that our wedding might have to be moved to an entirely different location less than a week before the wedding due to COVID--they were willing to go above and beyond to accommodate us and ensure we still had wedding pictures and video even if plans had to change completely (though thankfully, we were able to have our wedding as planned). Before and during the wedding, they were complete professionals and kindly accommodated all the shots I wanted, even arriving early and staying a little late to get that one last picture I had hoped for. I couldn't be happier with their services and with the pictures and video we received, and would enthusiastically recommend them to anyone!!

Jeff was absolutely fantastic to work with. He was very willing to tailor his efforts to fit our…read moreneeds and vision for the day, and I appreciated how easy he was to work with over email - especially across 2 years of postponements due to COVID! He was always so quick to respond. When the wedding finally arrived, he put us and our families at ease. The groom and both fathers are pretty vocal in their dislike of photos, but Jeff managed to win even them over - he was professional but fun, and the suggestions that got us all laughing led to some of the best photos during the family portraits. We did a two-hour session earlier in the week before the wedding with just the bride and groom, to save time during the packed wedding day, and this ended up being a great call. Not only did we get some incredibly striking photos in a different setting than what was available during the wedding itself (like in front of a jaw-dropping sunset), we also had the opportunity to get comfortable with Jeff and his shooting style. Highly recommend. The photos turned out amazing, which is a huge understatement. He put together the gallery after the wedding faster than I was expecting, and sent us access to an online gallery. He had already picked out some highlights, but sent us everything so we could go through ourselves. He also did a few touch-ups for us that meant a lot - like removing an accidental photobomb from another vendor when my dad and I were walking down the aisle. Overall - an amazing experience! I've never had professional photos done before, and the candid moments he was able to catch of us I will cherish forever.

Working with Jeff was such a delight from start to finish! He was so flexible in working with our…read morebudget, time changes, requests, etc. On the day-of, Jeff & his wife were SO patient and friendly. We had forgotten to tell him we were bringing our dogs to the venue for some pre-ceremony photos (oops...) but they were so relaxed about working it in. Even with our crazy dogs and chaotic families, Jeff & his wife were calm and good-humored throughout the whole event. They were familiar with our venue, so they had some really great suggested photo spots, but they were also totally happy to incorporate all of our requests too. As for the photos, WOW. Seriously stunning. We have hundreds and hundreds of absolutely gorgeous photos, and you can find a photo for every single guest. It took about 4 weeks to get them all back, and we got some sneak peek photos about 1.5 weeks after the wedding. It was all completely worth the wait, we are so so so happy and grateful to have had Jeff for our wedding. It was everything we hoped for and more.

Annie Ray can make anybody look cool…read more Her "photobooth" photography style is edgy and fun, in no small part because of her incredibly likeable personality and the way she eggs on her subjects like some kind of totally cliche French photographer ("Give me more! Give me more!"). Yet her subjects catch her enthusiasm and channel their inner goofball/badass/child/whatever, striking ridiculous poses, making faces they would never otherwise make in public, even taping gross, who-knows-where-this-has-been fake moustaches under their noses to help them get into character. Yet somehow, magically, everyone looks hip and cool and funky and lively in the end product. Or maybe everyone looks totally dorky and ridiculous, but it doesn't matter, because all your friends look that way in their shots, too. Annie Ray is some kind of photographic genius. Everybody wants some of what she's got. Fortunately, she's happy to share. P.S. The photo posted above is NOT one of Annie Ray's shots. It's a shot I took of Annie Ray while obnoxiously exclaiming, "Give me more!" --- EDIT, January 2012: The photo I posted with this listing was removed by Yelp because it allegedly violated the Content Guidelines. When I inquired as to how it violated the Content Guidelines, I was told that I was supposed to "avoid uploading close-ups of other people." Uh...every single photo for this listing includes a close-up of other people. Yelp, if you're going to remove my content from your site - which, by the way, I have donated to you for free and you have made money from - it might be nice if you gave me the honor of providing me with a reasonable explanation for why it was removed. Just a suggestion.

Attention closet models! Annie Ray is your photog!…read more Some people may ask "Why do all these folks feel the need to act a fool in front of cameras?? I don't get that behavior." Well, partially it's to have a physical memory of the event and the friends we love. But mostly it's cause an Annie Ray photo shoot is like a ride at Six Flags. It's a "weeeeeee" kinda fun where you can be as adventurous and loud and silly as you dare. When the ride is over, most folks get right back in line again. And just like a rollercoaster ride, you can end up with a crazy pic of your adventure. But Annie Ray specifically as a photographer is a joy. She's ebullient, effervescent, energetic, and encouraging which is great when you are working with stoic camera shy boys like my hubby and bff. And she makes ME look good even tho I normally take horrible pictures. I can never get my face to act right (in fact, no telling how many of the 20 or so that she takes she pitches to only post a few on her site....). And she remembers people. Having worked many a Yelp party and working with countless faces, I am amazed that she remembers my name and when she met hubby last event, she was so excited and demanded we take more pictures of just us, encouraging him "Randy love Keri! Loooove her!"...which of course hubby took to mean "Stick your tongue in her ear!!". I always look forward to an Annie Ray photobooth. She is an Annie Ray of Sunshine!

Eddie and Jordan did an absolutely amazing job with our engagement and wedding photos! They are…read moreextremely professional, and also a very down to earth couple who will make the whole process fun. The photos we received from them are stunning and artistic. They captured so many candid photos of our celebration along with all the little details of the venue, decor, etc. that paint the picture of the day. My favorite photos are some they took of us inside our venue before the ceremony. They captured the light in high contrast with shadows for a very artistic, editorial vibe. I know we will cherish their work for the rest of our lives and I'm so happy we were lucky enough to find them!

Amy is an absolute delight to work with. She has been shooting our family photographs for the past…read morethree years and I cannot say enough about her work and professionalism. 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.

My daughter was able to participate in 2 separate photo shoots with Gypsy Pearl and both times the photo's have turned out better than I could ever imagine! Amy has always been warm and professional with my daughter and patient with kids (one of the shoots was a kids shoot for a upcoming personal care line). She has been quick to respond to emails and very easy to work with. I only wish I had known about her when it was my wedding, I am astonished by how beautiful she makes every bride (and kids and family and teens, the list goes on).

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
