My mother was beyond thrilled. Kelly captured the true essence of the whole family and each member. She was able to effectively corral a 5 year old, a 3 year old, and a 90 year old! Quite a feat! We selected Kelly based on some of the things she shared on her site about her philosophy and approach in these types of shoots. We had no experience with her before this but are absolutely delighted. She is a gem and I will use her many times again in the future!

He had come recommended to us from our brother-in-law, and we could not be more appreciative that he decided to work with us given the particular conditions of our circumstances. We are so over-the-top happy with the turn-out of our pictures. He is a pleasure to work with, and we truly could not have done it with out him!

After numerous conversations confirming dates, times, and a signed contract, etc. Mr. Kelly "forgot" about the shoot even after confirming and requesting to scout the location merely 3 days prior to the event. He has refunded my money but I can't even imagine what would have happened if it had been a wedding. Fun fact, that day he would not answer my calls or texts; however, when I called him from my DIL's phone (a different area code) he answered right away, acting like he couldn't remember who I was, in an Aussie accent no less. He was on speaker with my entire family listening. My advice, proceed with caution.

My wife and I hired Elissa and her assistant to shoot our Austin wedding and her bridal portraits…read moreat Hamilton Pool in October 2013. We could not possibly be more pleased with her professionalism, attention to detail, personal touch, and overall cheerful demeanor. Every step of the process was stress-free, and Elissa even went above and beyond on several occasions by mailing us chocolate (always a plus), and helping us get an idea of what to expect from other parts of the wedding planning process completely unrelated to photography. Beyond her incredible diligence (all of our wedding photos were edited and posted online before we returned from our honeymoon), Elissa is also a very talented photographer who is very light on her feet. For the most part, we hardly noticed her presence (with the exception of some great, and amusing direction during the crazy family formal shots), but the photos indicate that she has a way of being everywhere at once! My mother-in-law actually expressed concern on the wedding day that she thought the entire ceremony had only been photographed from behind my wife, such that there would be no photos of her face during a very emotional event. When I saw that there were in fact gorgeous, artful and intimate photos from just about every angle--I was relieved and elated that my MOL's worries were proven to be baseless (aren't they always? haha). Elissa clearly takes great joy, and great pride in her work. I have no doubt that whatever you hire her to shoot, you will be blown away by the results.

Amy was a true blessing and captured our wedding day beautifully! She knows her stuff like the true…read morepro she is. She's confident, comfortable directing guests, and gave us (the bride and groom) clear direction so we'd get the very best shots. Since she's photographed at Chapel Dulcinea so many times, she knew exactly how to work within our 1.5-hour ceremony window to get everything we wanted. She then joined us at our reception brunch and captured all the sentimental moments with our loved ones -- memories we'll treasure for a lifetime. Amy is friendly, professional, and willing to do what it takes for the perfect shot. And she delivered our photos surprisingly fast! Highly, highly recommend.

Amy is an absolute gem and I cannot say enough about how much I adore her and her work. I was…read morenervous about working with a professional photographer when I'm so clearly not a professional model. I was convinced I'd look awkward in front of the camera for my engagement/wedding pictures, but I really wanted to make sure we had photos for both.. I searched around, tried to find a photographer with pictures that captured the romance without unnecessary filtering and editing. I stumbled upon Amy's pictures and fell in love with her style and beautiful use of natural color and lighting. Amy exceeded my expectations tenfold. She was so friendly and approachable the whole time and made me and my (now) husband super comfortable in spite of our concerns. The time we spent together was actually a blast, and she'd give feedback to make sure that we looked our best and help us lighten up. The photoshoot felt like it flew by, and even though we were excited about getting our pictures back, we had NO idea that we were about to get an entire album FULL of INCREDIBLE pictures. That's right. It wasn't a matter of just picking 5 that we liked. We had trouble narrowing down our favorites because Amy rocked it SO HARD and we wound up with 200+ incredible pictures. I'm already looking forward to working with her again in the future so we have more photographed memories over the years. Cannot thank you enough, Amy!

ALL AROUND 5 STARS!…read more I feel as lucky today in finding this office space as I did 3 years ago. I have a boutique recruiting company (I work for and by myself) and have worked successfully in various settings. I had relocated closer to the downtown area and was working at home but felt the need for a change, just couldn't figure out what I wanted. When I called to inquire about this property, I was prepared to hear the recorded and impersonal voice mail recording I'd been experiencing when calling to get more information. Instead, a real person answered! Lynn, who manages the front end reception, took my information and said that Valerie, the Property Manager, would return my call and provide the details I wanted. My call was returned right away and Valerie invited me to come in for a tour that day. I met Lynn and Valerie in person and I felt comfortably welcomed immediately, the same feeling I have every day . It is such a cool thing, to have the same people managing the space several years later. It doesn't matter what I need, Lynn has the answer-fax, mail, phone, parking, selling or buying office furniture inter-office, parties/events, Lynn is there to respond, personally! This is an asset you don't know you are missing until you are here, just knowing the same person will greet you or a your guest, every day; she is someone who knows when you have been away, knows your name, remembers things for you! Valerie manages to keep all 85 tenants as socially engaged as we want to be-networking events and Holiday parties are scheduled so that we can mingle and feel a part of something and she and Lynn make sure that we are aware when an individual tenant has an event to celebrate. The owner and his wife, who are also fabulously kind and generous, bought these buildings around 1970 and they keep the real spirit of Austin, the best of the old along with what we want that is new! I'd like to keep this area a secret but the reality is that the dynamic space is so appealing in part because while some tenants like the Eastside Music School, have been here for years, other tenants are in the "start up" phase and outgrow space over time, making space available for new people...so it says very interesting! The building location is unbeatable but it is the environment that is maintained by Lynn and Valerie that keep the tenants feeling fortunate in signing and resigning the leases, very much a Win- Win cooperative bargain!
