I love taking pictures of food but when I'm the subject - the awkward glutton comes out. So, at my friend's insistence (and promise of brunch at the Pearl), I decided to join her for a morning photo shoot. I was nervous but, seeing my friend's pictures on Facebook helped me overcome any reservations about Angelica and Keith at Authentic Joy. We took photos very early in the morning around the Pearl and inside Hotel Emma. The early morning light coupled with Angelica's skills made us all look like models! Angelica and Keith worked with us to help us be as natural as possible. After shooting for awhile, I became way more comfortable, mostly in part because of Keith and and Angelica. Angelica has such a warm and engaging personality. She made us feel at ease with her silliness. She and Keith took into consideration our vision and thoughts, while giving us inspiration on what to do next. I don't know about you guys but I just want to stand around. Posing is hard! But Angelica managed to make me a convincing guest at the swanky Hotel Emma in our photos. After a few days, Angelica already edited and posted the pictures for us to preview. I'm so pleased with how our pictures turned out! I've also gotten a ton of compliments on how natural and elegant we looked in all the photos. Angelica and Keith have done weddings, quinceañeras, and family photos as well. Although they are a fledgling, local business, they have a gift for taking beautiful pictures that only many years of experience can rival. I can't wait to book them for future occasions!

She's been the Yelp Elite San Antonio photographer for the past few years & it's always nice to see her & her work. I worked with her taking Yelp Elite Badge photos for the last couple of years. You never know what the weather will be like but she will adapt & adjust to the conditions & lighting. She'll show you her photos immediately after taking some poses & will ask for your feedback as to whether you like them or not & will retake them if necessary. She's even given me a natural smile tip if you're feeling like it's forced, esp. when taking multiple shots. I've even asked her if she would remove lipstick thru Photoshop if it showed up on my teeth, LOL?! I highly recommend Allysse & glad to support her & this local woman-owned business!!
