“I met Simone through my daughter’s music class at TuneBugz. I was so impressed with the photos she captured of my daughter in class that we hired her to take some first birthday photos. These are some of my favorite pictures of my daughter. Simone was the right combination of professional, yet silly that my daughter seemed to have fun having her picture made. We have some gorgeous portraits of my daughter looking calm and serene (I don’t know how Simone did that!) near Auditorium Shores with the Austin skyline in the background and some really fun & silly pictures of her eating an ice cream Sundae at Amy’s ice creams. We’ll always treasure these pictures because not only are they well shot, but she totally captured my daughter’s personality!” -Allison Newsum
Dear Future Happy Couples and Clients, The right photographer is always a tough choice to make. Over the years I have hired several for commercial and special event purposes. Many had fine qualities. What sets Simone apart is the combination of how easy she is to work with (before, during, and afterwards); the quality of her abilities; and the way she did her job unobtrusively. Her photos were wonderful – I never looked so skinny. She has wonderful photographic instincts – she caught everyone on camera without having to be cued. The children present were all caught doing something adorable – even the ones who do not always lend themselves that way. My parents never looked so good, and my in-laws never looked so happy. A few months later we utilized Simone’s services again for some family portraits – a tradition in my wife’s family. With five children of varying ages, and in-law relations all around Simone’s photo shoot was the most pleasant and most beautiful family portrait I have ever known. It was as smooth as smooth can be, and I am glad we now have a great, local photographer to handle all of our family and business needs. Thank you again and again, Simone. -Anita and Philip Married (July 25th 2010)
Last year, I began implementing plans for the dream wedding that I had been planning since I was in the 4th grade. Yes… 4th grade! From the very start, I knew that I wanted a photographer that would capture love, romance, tears of joy, laughter, dancing, and pure enjoyment at our wedding. Simone captured all those things and more. Every photograph she took was breath taking and memorable. Each picture shows her professionalism and quality of work. Every time I look at my wedding pictures, I relive the most wonderful day of my life. Thank you Simone, for being a sensational photographer. Thank you for paying attention to detail, for being patient and kind, for graciously answering the many questions that I had, and for making me feel special from the time I inquired about your services to the present. You are amazing! -Adrienne (Married March 21th 2010)
Simone helped make my wedding fun and stress-free. She took all the pictures I wanted, even at the busiest spots in the French Quarter. She was patient and kind, unlike several other wedding photographers I have seen “ordering” their clients around in order to get their work done. One of our groomsmen even raved about Simone and said that she was great to work with. He had never been in a wedding party before and actually ENJOYED walking around taking pictures. Thanks for a great experience! -Ellen (Married April 17th 2010)
Your wedding day is something you will cherish for a lifetime, that’s why I’m so happy I picked Simone to help me do that. Even in the pouring rain my pre-bridal pictures came out gorgeous. And every special moment was captured on my wedding day. I loved how friendly and down to earth she was. She made sure that my special day was everything I dreamed it would be, and for that I owe a very big thank you! – Jessica (Married July 24th 2010)

“In December 2009, I had the pleasure of shooting with Miss Simone Epiphany. As an amateur model, I was looking to expand my portfolio, and Simone far exceeded my expectations. She was extremely professional, while maintaining a sense of comfort and relaxation throughout the entire shoot that, in turn, helped me feel at ease. She is extremely talented, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer with a creative eye.” – Tori
