Proudly Serving Austin and Surrounding Areas

I have so many wonderful things to share about working with Michael and Elite Headshots. I'm launching a new website for my business and knew I needed some professional photographs. I'm an introverted person who loves to focus on other people. The idea of being in front of a camera was so nerve-wracking! Michael met with me in advance to help me feel comfortable and give me the pep talk I needed. We mapped out a vision of my website and online marketing strategy in collaboration with my website team. Michael consistently pitched various ideas for future marketing during my sessions. He was clearly thinking about my business as if he was a consultant AND a photographer. Best of all, my photographs express exactly what I want them to. As Michael put it, they are my "digital handshake." He made an uncomfortable-for-me situation breezy and safe. If you're in the market for a photographer to help you build online collateral for your business, Elite Headshots is IT.

I've hired and worked with Michael many times in a variety of projects. He has always delivered photos that exceed my expectations - some of his pictures taken for me have been seen millions of times and I love how he has a style that adapts to the talent and moment. I keep coming back to Elite Headshots Austin because I know their pictures mean we're going to the next level.

I highly recommend working with Michael. His direction, collaboration, artistry, and attention to detail are top-notch. So many fantastic photos created with such ease and such fun! You'll be glad you chose Elite Headshots Austin ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I have had the pleasure of working with Michael several times. He has photographed me for work, lifestyle shoots, and family portraits. His calm fun style always ensures I feel relaxed and give my best smile and authentic look. He’s easy to schedule with, always on time and fast with response. Highly recommend him!

I loved working with Michael on my corporate head shots. Not only was he warm and friendly but extremely talented and knows his craft. You can tell he really understands people and knows how to make you feel confident and comfortable. He was so patient and helpful with poses, angles, and edits are absolutely amazing.

I have been photographed hundreds of times over my long career and I have rarely experienced a photographer as kind, funny and relaxing as Michael Samaripa — and the pictures showed the result! My entire team felt comfortable and attractive! Thank you, Michael, for making us all feel welcomed in what is always a stressful time: Picture Day!!
