Even within our initial meeting with Beah, we knew she would do an excellent job -- and she DID a PHENOMENAL job. She worked with our budget and our needs. She was very prompt in getting our photos to us in through an easy access portal. Beah was very easy going and fit it well the feel of our wedding and she did a great job capturing our raw moments and our elated emotions. In sharing our wedding gallery with our friends and family, they commented on what a great job Beah did, and we absolutely agree. Can't speak enough about the wonderful work she did capturing our special day! More...

We are so happy that we hired Maria for our wedding/elopement photos! She trekked up a mountain in the cold and wind with us, and got exactly the shots we were looking for. She was super easy to communicate with, professional, and was flexible to our last minute adjustments. I highly recommend hiring her for any of your photography needs!! More...

Maria was awesome! She is so sweet and down to earth and great to work with. I booked her after a phone call since I was planning from out of state, and she was easy to plan with and very responsive to emails. Our wedding photos turned out so beautiful! I was a little nervous because all our photos were taken at noon, so I wasn't sure how the light was going to be! But she knows how to professionally shoot for harsh light and our pictures are absolutely lovely. Her style is very focused on capturing the pure emotion in pictures rather than rigid staged shots, so looking back through my photos I can feel all the love that was there. We're so happy with her work! More...

It was such an amazing experience to be photographed by Maria. She was very responsive via email in regards to any questions that I had and tried her very best to execute all of my photo requests in the time permitted. The quality of the photos surpassed my expectations, the entire family loved them. Although we were a group of 34, she made sure that everyone could be seen in the photos which meant the world to us. Highly recommended. More...

My son and his fiancee wanted engagement pictures while they were visiting Lake Tahoe. Maria was there on time and worked well with them and got some amazing shots. The contract was for two hours and she actually went a little over just to finish up one more spot. My son and his fiancee both liked her very much. More...

Bea has photographed my family on two occasions: for a holiday card and a baby announcement. She is extremely adept at capturing my daughter at 9 months and at 1.
5 years. Every single photo allowed all of our personalities and joy to shine through.
Both my husband I are extremely critical of photographs of ourselves as we have had bad experiences with photographers in the past. Bea never disappoints. She gave us more photos to choose from then I've ever been offered and all of them were so perfect, it made choosing hard!
I can't recommend Bea enough. She is such a joy to work with and made us all feel completely at ease. We will definitely be using her services again!

Beah was wonderful and fun to work with, provided a huge array of beautiful photos, was on time, offered a great rate, and was very quick about processing and returning the photos (only a couple of days!) Great choice.

I went into our photoshoot not knowing exactly what I wanted. Maria came in with equipment and ideas to spare. She was energetic and ready to try all sorts of creative things. She gives direction well, and is patient and optimistic when things don't go as planned. We shot both indoors and outdoors, and the photos turned out beautifully. I had a perfect experience with Maria as my photographer, and would recommend her to anyone. More...

We loved having Maria photograph our Wedding! She worked with my husband who is deaf and he enjoyed working with her. Which says a lot because he doesn't like taking pictures.
We had all the photos 2 days after the wedding and they were amazing!
Thanks Maria!

Bea was awesome for our wedding - she drove out to the venue earlier before the event to go over some photo of spots for us, and day of, when the venue had messed some things up, not only was she able to be flexible and still capture some amazing photos but she also went to bat for us and refused to let the photo opportunities be ruined. She is a stand up gal and awesome to work with, really listens and really captured exactly what we were wanting for our photos! She was amazing!! More...
Fabiola Tillman
The entire experience was very positive! Beah had a great attitude. Prior to arriving in Boulder from Houston she sent us a list of places to visit. She selected two beautiful spots for our shoot. She balanced a casual conversation with us yet gave us enough space to capture moments. The digital images were available within a week. They are stunning! I’m printing several out and sharing with the entire family. More...

I am a camera shy person, but had an amazing, stress-free experience with Bea! I highly recommend booking her as a photographer for any special event or shoot. She is so easy to talk to, extremely professional, and knowledgeable. She even provided some helpful tips/ directions for poses. and I didn't feel rushed at all. Overall, I'm very pleased with how the photos turned out! More...
