Your Family Session: The Basics | Austin Texas Family Photographer

My families choose me, time and again, to capture their season of life in a way that is artistic, authentic, and connective. They understand we are documenting their now; the space they occupy with the people they love. Their session is not so much about the where and the what; it's about the who and …

Parma Family {Sweet Moments} |Austin Family Photographer

When Allyson and I started chatting about their family session, we were both on the same page about the 'what' to capture.  The Parma's are big on breakfast making, as it's an all-hands-on-deck family affair.  Allyson's vision was to capture the true story of their typical day - love and laugher, pajamas and bedhead, and …

The Swearingen Family | Austin Texas Family Photographer

Yikes!  It's been a bit since I blogged!  This time of year is crazy for me - how about you?  Between the end of year festivities (kids, family and friends), planning, shopping (or planning to shop), goal making, you then add in the catching up on work and sleep (in that order, by the way) …

Hight Family | Austin Texas Family Photographer

This lovely mom and I met a few years ago at a birthday party (at one of those hoppy houses that make any breathing mammal have an anxiety attack... No?  Just me then?)  We had a few mutual friends and the 'you two should meet, you both have 4 kids' introduction was made.  Let me …

Leeper Family | Austin Texas Family Photographer

It may sounds totally cheesy but it's true - my session with the Leeper Family was easy, like a Sunday Morning... even if we did shoot on a Sunday evening.  This adorable family of 4 were naturals in front of the camera.  Their joy and family connection is so genuine; I love how they truly …
