“Naomi has been an absolutely incredible photographer for our family!  We found Naomi when we first had our son and he has grown up with her, for over six years now.  She makes him (and all of us) feel so comfortable and she captures the beauty and essence of his personality at each stage in his life.  Naomi’s understanding and thoughtful approach makes every session unique and manages to capture amazing moments of joy that we will always treasure and will last a lifetime.  Thank you Naomi!”

A Glowing Review of an Austin, TX Newborn and Family Photographer

black and white portrait of a toddler yawning in his smiling mother's lap

Naomi has photographed our kids over the last 8 years now, and we are lucky enough to have many priceless photos of their childhood.  I fancy myself a half decent photographer, but my photos of my own kids never quite capture the magic that Naomi’s photos do.  Somehow Naomi speaks their language, is able to bring out their essence, and at the same moment capture it on film.  She is the “child whisperer”, and an amazing photographer.  Naomi is the absolute best.

Priceless Children’s Portraits with a Fredericksburg, TX Photographer

I have always wanted the perfect, super posed pictures of my family. But my kids do not believe in posing. It’s a miracle to get a picture that’s not blurred . . . Or one where they begrudgingly look at the camera.🤦🏻‍♀️ So that’s why I was so in awe of Naomi’s concept for photography.💡 She wanted to take pictures of my kids doing what they enjoyed most, memorializing their childhood. She asked me what they loved to do and she planned out different, individual, plain ol’ fun sessions with coordinating color schemes. When she got started taking photos of my son, I tried to step in and make him act a little more posey and proper. She gently asked me to step aside, and she provoked him to his “ALL BOY” potential. 🤣. Needless to say, he had a blast! I have never seen a photographer work harder! I just love how his pictures authentically encapsulate his personality. I stare at these photos all of the time. I love them more, each time I pass them by.
If you have cute kids like mine, who REFUSE to work with photographers, give Naomi a try. She can make any kid laugh and not focus on the camera. OR if you want something totally original, specific to your kids special interest, I’m fully confident that Naomi can make it happen.

A Creative Photo Shoot in Kerrville, TX

I'm not usually one to leave reviews, but our experience with Naomi has been beyond exceptional. She's been our family photographer ever since our first born was born at just 9 days old. She has a way with kids like I've never seen before, even our grumpiest kid she can always get a smile out of. Everyone always asks me who did my photos. There's always memories with the process of the photo shoots, she juggles it all very well. If you want good photos, you know who to go to!

Playful Children’s Portraits in Kerrville

I am so grateful that I found Naomi for our Christmas card photos.  The photos came out beautiful and Naomi made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera. She has a special way of capturing special moments, and really understands composition and lighting.  We were a little nervous going into the shoot, not knowing what to expect from our active boys but Naomi had them giggling the entire time.  She was the highlight of the photo shoot for them.  She always thinks outside the box to get the best shot possible.  We are so lucky to have been able to work with such a talented, creative, intelligent and responsive individual!!

Lifestyle Newborn Portraits with a Marble Falls Photographer

I have had Naomi photograph many loved ones over the past 5 years and she has always exceeded my expectations.  Her talent, patience, understanding and flexibility are just a few of her amazing qualities.  Long hours of shooting newborns is not for the faint of heart and Naomi is a true professional in every sense of the word.  My home is littered with her work that all get to admire when they come over.  I can never thank her enough for capturing the most precious photos I own!

Naomi delivered better quality than what I could have ever expected.  She was so very patient with my children and the photos she captured were easily better than all the other professional photography I have had done.  I couldn’t be happier with the product she delivered.  She has an eye for capturing beautiful images out of the normal.  I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again!!

WOW . . . you are absolutely amazing!!!  I just looked through the entire gallery and I laughed out loud and welled up a bit too.  I know that they say a picture is worth a thousand words, but your photos leave me speechless.  Thank you for truly capturing S . . . again.  You are so talented and I am so thankful that you’ve captured my daughter during these precious first years of her life.  I know I’ll be just as enamored with these photos when I’m putting together her wedding slide show years from now. I cannot thank you enough.

Naomi is an amazing newborn/baby/toddler photographer!!  We had her over to our home twice to take photos of our babies.  She took her time and was very patient and caring towards our newborn and toddler while taking their photos.  She has amazed us both times with the shots she was able to get of our shy 2 year old boy.  We love how her photos capture the true personality of our children.

Naomi took pictures of my son for his first and third birthdays. Both times the photos exceeded my expectations.  Each session she was able to capture soulful close ups as well as action shots that embodied the ball of energy that is my son!  Naomi is responsive and very easy to work with.  My son is shy and she has a sweet nature about her that quickly won him over and he showed her his true self.  I have a brand new baby girl and I can’t wait to see the beautiful photos that Naomi will be able to capture of her!

Naomi has been taking pictures of our  kids for the last 3 years.  Her pictures are stunning and vibrant.  She  really has an eye for capturing the beautiful moments.  She is fun and  easy to work with.  She finds time in her busy schedule to accommodate us  and our kids always have fun with her!

Our portrait session with Naomi was amazing!  She was skilled enough to capture the most beautiful moments of our baby crawler who just began to realize he could finally move himself whichever direction he pleases.  The photographs turned out to be great!  We would definitely recommend her as the one who can professionally work with children and make memories that last a lifetime.

I cannot sing Naomi’s praises enough!   She is amazing with the camera, and so patient and calm with kids and  newborns.  I loved the beautiful pictures she captured of my newborn son  and my daughter when she was 7 months old.  If you want quality,  beautiful pictures, then Naomi is your girl!

We booked a 4 month photo session with Naomi.  My daughter cried hysterically for an hour and a half.  Naomi was patient enough to wait for my daughter to calm down.  The pictures turned out amazing despite all the crying.  I will definitely recommend Naomi.
