So my wife and I were thinking about newborn photos since all of our family live quite a ways away…read morefrom us, and we wanted something special to share with them, and our first time Grandparents. We were concerned because they are usually very expensive for nothing super special. Then my wife happened upon Chelsea Lietz's Photography. Not only were the prices very reasonable, but her photos were simply gorgeous. We ended up getting the "Belly to Baby" package which was two photography sessions one a short 45 minute Maternity session, and the second a 3 hourish newborn photography session. The maternity session blew our minds away, we were so pleased with how laid back she was, how professional she seemed, and most importantly how organized, and timely she was. She asked us if there was anythign we wanted and we mentioned our tattoos, and she delivered with what is one of my favourite photos of me and my wife. We were super pleased with the maternity session, and everyone in our family and freidns on facebook loved the photos. We thought it couldn't get better than this. WE WERE WRONG!! Chelsea has a plague on the wall of her studio that says "Baby Whisperer" this is not an exagerration. She handled our 1 week old newborn so well that we immediately trusted her with our baby so much that my wife and I both fell asleep due to the comfortable environment, and the absolute trust we had in Chelsea. Then the Photos came.... They were simply stunning! She focused on the baby like she should, but still managed to get a couple of pictures with my wife and I with the baby. They were everything and more that we wanted. For the price that we paid I doubt we could find someone with more bang for the buck. While we are in San Antonio we will only do family sessions with Chelsea from now on. http://chelsealietzphotography.smugmug.com/Newborn/Jolene/43252018_D6xPML#!i=3421512422&k=nWWQbct&lb=1&s=L

I can't recommend Ariel enough! He came highly recommended by a coworker, and he completely…read moreexceeded every expectation. Not only does he have an incredible eye, but he also has a great personality; professional, easygoing, and made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. What truly sets Ariel apart is how he takes full advantage of the setting. He knows exactly how to use lighting, scenery, and every little detail to create something special. Every shot felt intentional and creative. When I received my photos, I was honestly blown away, they look like they belong in a magazine. The quality, composition, and overall feel are just stunning. These are the kind of photos you'll treasure forever. If you're looking for someone who is talented, personable, and delivers beyond expectations, Ariel is absolutely the one to go with!

I couldn't complain about a single thing if I needed to..she's perfect, and I'll absolutely be using her for our pics in the spring! Thank you for the magical memories, Heidi!

We booked a family photo session with Mel while we were on vacation. Our friends had previously…read moreused Mel and they recommended her. We corresponded over email and her response time is about a day or less. She has about 3 different packages and about 9 locations she likes to shoot at. We chose Kualoa regional park because it had a few different backgrounds (beach, mountains, outriggers, and dock). On the day of the session she met us at the park and we walked to the locations. She was very easy to work with and she was pretty in tune with the needs of our 1 and 2 year olds. When the girls got fussy or didn't feel like cooperating she would shoot couples pictures of us. Her prices are very reasonable and the pictures came out amazing. We will definitely use her services again if we're back on Oahu.

Mel recently did a photo shoot for our extended family while we were visiting Oahu. I can't even…read moredescribe how great she is! Her professionalism, expertise, and friendliness were second to none! We had our 4 1/2 month old niece and nephew twins there and Mel was so great in not only organizing the photos to accommodate them, but also so great at capturing them also! We stayed in Ko Olina and Mel knew exactly where to do the photo shoot and the best time of day for the beauty and lighting of the photos. The photographs she took were incredible! She was able to get us the gallery so quickly and they are awesome. If you are on Oahu and would like stunning photos from an awesome photographer, I highly recommend In The Light with Mel Photography!

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!

I would highly highly recommend using them!!

I found them through a Groupon, I needed to schedule a speedy photo session for 5 kids ranging in age from 3 - 13 years old when my SIL was in town with her boys. I could not ask for more flexible photographers! They were very accommodating on the location and date (we met at the Arboretum in Austin) Mikenzie coordinated with me through text (which I really appreciated), she gave me great ideas of things to bring to keep all the kiddos entertained and helped with suggestions on what to wear. What I really appreciated is that they were WONDERFUL with all the kids!! Mikenzie and Tim kept talking with them, let the kids do their own thing and did not try to stage them much. At the same time they were so professional, making adjustments for light, different lenses and the photos turned out AMAZING. (The price was really good too!) I am definitely going back to these guys and highly recommend them if you have tough to photograph kids!!
