Raquel is just awesome! Each one of her photos you can tell just how much she puts into them. She makes you feel beautiful even when you don't feel like it yourself. She is super sweet and she truly loves being a photographer and it really shows. She is just amazing at what she does. She recently took a couple photos of some shell necklaces I made for her mermaid themed event and if her product photos look like this, imagine how awesome her other photography is?! Its truly wonderful work all over. You shouldn't look any further for a photographer, you found the perfect one right here! 10/10! More...

My daughter had the best time at the mermaid event! It was an entire experience, not just photos. From hair and makeup to fun activities, she felt important and special and I got beautiful pictures!

Just wanted to give Raquel Olague i big shout out for letting me rent her bathtub. If anyone is looking for a place to use to shoot milk-bath shoots or any other type of shoot that requires a bathroom setting or room Setting contact Raquel. From the start it was a great experience. Everything was supper clean she had a plate with snacks and water and her prices are supper affordable. Better then booking a room at the padre. She had towels ready for us and was supper helpful in anything we needed Overall it was great experience. Thank you Raquel Olague More...

Raquel Olague at Artifex imaging is one of the sweetest and most beautiful photographers I have worked with. I do modeling and acting and she has taken gorgeous headshots of me that have actually helped me in getting roles. She is so kind, professional and generous with her clients. I did one of her mermaid shoots and I have never felt more beautiful, safe and had so much fun in my life! I highly recommend Raquel for ANY of your photography needs whether its for acting and modeling, or your family portraits. She has a unique eye and creative talent. More...

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
Patience and willingness to experiment with every component of the shot (lighting, subject, composure, camera settings, and post processing) are what make photography a wonderful art form.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
I always start new projects with detailed input from the client as to what their goals, needs, and preferences are ahead of time. This enables me to begin the creative process in advance and thereby providing the ideal results.
What do you love most about your job?
The best part of being a photographer is the satisfaction of my clients. It warms my heart to see people come into their own and have a great time during portrait sessions. My favorite moment has to be when clients light up once they've seen the results of their portrait or product session. We are the most critical of ourselves and our creations. Sometimes it takes catching a glimpse through another's lens to appreciate the beauty of ourselves and our hard work.
