Being our first professional photo shoot we were not sure of what to expect; I suspect we'll never…read moreuse any other photographer than Julia. Quite frankly, she has set the bar too high for any other photographer to come close to achieving. Nervous at first, the free spirited artist was able to put our minds at ease in record time (seriously, she had my wife relaxed in under two minutes and a half - yes, I am anal retentive enough to time that shit). The photographer is very personable, with a keen eye for 'just the right pose'. Reviewing the shots I was (and still am actually) amazed at how well she was able to capture the moment. Ladies - Julia is sweet, warm, and kind spirited. I do not believe for a minute she'd ever ask you to do anything you're uncomfortable with. Her dedication to art ensures you will look your best when you review the photos. She WILL make you into the cover girl you've always dreamed of being. Guys - Shhh, let the ladies work, you'll be happy you did. Seriously, kind of like a wedding the moment is all about her; let her enjoy the spotlight and you'll see just how beautiful your woman really is. They say a picture is worth a thousand words - until I met Julia and reviewed some of her work I would have agreed; but after seeing the awe-inspiring art she manages to conjure with a camera lens the only word that comes to mind is "WoW". I am typically articulate to a fault; but her work leaves me speechless - every time.

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

If I could give her more stars- I would. I inquired about boudoir photo shoot from a couple of…read morephotographers but everyone was out of my price range but Lindsey had a Valentine special that I had to jump on. On my original appointment date, I was ill and couldn't get out of bed and contacted Lindsey and she was so understanding and allowed me to rebook. I had to cancel my 2nd appointment because the roads were still too dangerous (black ice) to travel on, so I had to rebook AGAIN and Lindsey was so SWEET, NICE, and UNDERSTANDING. I could not be more thankful for her. The entire photo shoot experience was amazing. She was knowledgeable and professional and I was so comfortable in her present. I was never made to feel insecure and she allow me to express my femininity. I felt like I was in the present of a close friend. If you decide to do a nude/boudoir photo shoot, I would HIGHLY recommend her. The photos turned out better than I could have imagine.

I have behind the scenes for a long time and have seen hundreds of clients getting their shoots done. All I can say is that it is a 100% different being in front of the camera instead of behind it.

She's always been talented and had an eye for this but OH MY GOODNESS, she's grown to be such an amazing photographer. I kept wondering why she would stop to adjust the curtains, adjust her camera, adjust the lights...we even waited for the clouds to pass by because she mentioned how it would affect my pictures. I was and still am blown away on the entire photo shoot. Oh, before I continue.... Tiffany managed to hire the best of the best when it comes to hair and make-up. Ana and Billy are truly one of a kind and I honestly wanted to bundle them up and take them home with me. Not only did they make me look flawless but the nicest people I've ever met in that line of business. Their technique, their "customer service" was out of this world. I can't wait to be able to hire them again for another event. I've never felt so beautiful. Thank you both! Ok, back to Tiffany Tagle Photography - even though she's my sister, I can honestly say that, that photo shoot was the best photography experience I've ever had in my entire life! When we started, I can't help but share how nervous I was..yes, I was nervous but when the camera started, she took off her "Sister Hat" and it was business. I followed her lead and felt at ease. Ladies - this was the best decision I've ever made. I set the date back in January and never worked harder in my life to look the best I could possibly look with exercising, participating in races and eating healthy. I couldn't wait to give my husband the Book of Me for our anniversary and last week I did and his jaw dropped!!! I have a feeling he's going to send Tiffany on a cruise around the world for the job well done! :) Thank you Tiffany! Thank you so much for a day that I'll never forget. I will always remember this and can't wait to do it again!!!! Love you, sister. Book your session today!!! www.tiffanytaglephotography.com

While her pictures are beautiful, her professionalism is lacking. After we agreed on a date and…read moretime to take engagement photos, I received a text message an hour and half before our appointment that she would not be able to make it due to family issues. Considering that I had taken the day off work and had to wake up pretty early since I was doing my own hair and makeup, I was pretty upset about having to push back the photos till later in the day. Ms. Tagle suggested we arrange to try to meet at 4 or 5 in the afternoon. It's SXSW weekend and getting hotter and hotter as the day progresses and she wants to meet downtown during the worst time possible, seriously?!? It didn't help matters that my fiancé had specifically taken the morning off and had to go into work at the time she wanted to reschedule. Thanks to modern technology, I found out through facebook Ms. Tagle had spent the night before at SXSW till early in the morning and had the audacity to post status updates on her whereabouts. In others words, she lied to me on why she wasn't able to make our appointment. I immediately canceled our appointment and requested she refund my deposit. Photographers are a dime a dozen in this town and Ms. Tagle caused me a lot of stress and unneeded anxiety during an already stressful time. Save yourself the trouble and look for a professional and reliable photographer who can make this a joyful experience.

The resulting photos completely blew me away. I have never felt so sexy and confident in my life! Laney is not only a talented photographer and artist, but a delight to work with.

I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but Arlen explained the process and gave tips on how to relax, such as Yoga breathing methods. Unlike other photographers who focus on posture and posing for photos, Arlen emphasizes movement and flow, which truly creates a natural look. I got the photos back quickly and was very satisfied with the amount of images that were returned for the pricing on Groupon. The shoot was a little over an hour; I provided the clothing I wanted to wear and did only one "look". If you're looking for kitschy, cheesy lingerie shots, go to someone else; Arlen excels at creating artistic compositions and focuses on the subject not the setting. He's great!
