Beth McKinney

Beth McKinney provided the photobooth for my wedding and it turned out really nice. People really enjoyed themselves. She was also really easy to communicate with. Thanks Beth!

I’ve generally had a great experience with Unilocal offers discounting service but this one didn’t pan out.
I purchased a certificate to get professional headshots from Beth over a year ago. I mainly needed them for my LinkedIn profile. Well, that didn’t happen.
If the stars are low, please understand, I have not used her service. BUT, I’ve attempted to contact Beth multiple times to redeem the certificate. I realized it was a good deal and I would have simply asked for ONE GOOD headshot. For $ 50 or $ 75, I’d say that isn’t being too demanding.
Long story short, I never heard back from Beth. The phone number for Beth McKinney lately seems to have sporadic issues, a.k.a. she won’t call back or her number is no longer a working one, or something else happened.
So, if you have had a great experience from all the 5 star reviews, forgive me. It is exactly because of the reviews that I had contacted her and purchased the Unilocal discount offer. If something horrible has happened to Beth, I’ll retract this and apologize profusely. But if a professional photographer puts up an offer and doesn’t honor it, my stars stands.
Hoping for the best, that she’s okay, or perhaps she has moved out of Austin to pursue bigger and better dreams elsewhere. I loved her work shown via the Unilocal photos she shared! I’m simply hoping she’s well. Deep down, I’m not even expecting a refund, just an explanation.

Beth came and took photos for a small dinner party I held to celebrate the completion of my doctorate. My party coordinator recommended Beth’s services and I’m so glad that she did. I only needed Beth to come for an hour or so and she managed to take so many great photos that captured the feel of the party. I would definitely consider working with Beth again in the future.

I needed a headshot for the back of the book jacket for a book I authored. I wanted a candid photo that was professional as well. Beth fit the bill! She was fun and a pro at the same time. We spent about an hour walking around SoCo, taking pictures at many interesting locations and chatting. It was a comfortable, casual experience and I’m very pleased with the end result.

Beth is a fun, professional photographer. I hired her to do photos for my LinkedIn profile since it seems the only photos I have of myself are awful camera phone «sitting in my cubicle» photos or photobooth photos where I am wearing a wig, tiara, or sweatband, which didn’t really say, «young, professional, you know you want to hire me». She also is for hire to do photobooths for social events around town. My current Unilocal profile pic is one she took at an event at Skinny’s Ballroom.
I couldn’t be more happy with the photos Beth took. We spent about an hour together walking around SoCo getting shots in front of and near various backgrounds. Beth also has a studio where you can stand in front of a fake bookcase or that grayish-​bluish background a’la grade school photos, but these were so much better and totally her idea to use the various building exteriors as backgrounds. I definitely got several very usable shots for the LinkedIn profile and various other social media outlets.
Get her while she’s still up and coming. I imagine in a few months, you won’t be able to afford her.

We hired Beth at the law firm I work at to take our photos, everybody loved them.
Great job!

I saw some photos Beth took of my friend’s band and instantly contacted her to take photos of my band. The pictures turned out awesome, and she had them to me within two days. I will definitely be contacting her again to take more pictures for us!

Ms. McKinney brings a refined sense of aesthetics to her work and she is a joy to work with. She was patient as the scope and tone of our project evolved. She found the right technical solutions & worked quickly without sacrificing quality. I heartily recommend Ms. McKinney’s professional approach. Her work speaks for itself.

Fantastic! Such a wonderfully artistic eye for photography and composition. Totally recommended.

Beth knows what she is doing! She clearly has an eye for capturing the kind of spontaneous sincerity that you can’t pose for and always manages to get the best angles, never prompting a regrettable spilling out of all insecurities and why I don’t like to see my nose that way. She really brings out personality with beautiful results. I’m going to call them «remember me like THAT» images.
