SAFE AT HOME | AUSTIN LIFESTYLE PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER

I’ve had the pleasure of photographing this sweet, beautiful family a few times now. This time, the backdrop was their gorgeous home, in their newly updated backyard. Like many other families during the pandemic, so much more time is being spent at home, that a backyard update became a priority for 2020. Well the Nichol’s had an amazing backyard makeover and it created the perfect space for our family portraits. Here are just a few sweet photos we captured during our December portrait session at their home in Austin, TX. Enjoy!

IZZY & DALE | AUSTIN ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER

izzy and Dale. When I tell you that these two humans could NOT be sweeter, I mean it. They were an absolute joy to spend the chilly October day with in South Austin during their engagement portrait session. It was super windy that day, but they pushed through like champions.

The way these two feel about each other is incredibly evident. They laughed more than anyone I’ve photographed in a long time. I like to make I am good at making my clients laugh during a session, keeping it light and making sure everyone enjoys themselves. But these two were laughing together, just because they were having fun being together, cuddling, and doing whatever craziness I asked them to do. Capturing their love in storytelling imagery was a special gift. I can’t wait to photograph their wedding next year! Come on 2021.

Here are some of the highlights from our Austin Engagement Session. Enjoy!

BEAUTIFUL MATERNITY PORTRAITS | AUSTIN TX PHOTOGRAPHER

Some sessions just hold a special place as favorites, and it can be for many different reasons. Maybe the location looked extra gorgeous, or the lighting was a little extra magical, or the subjects’ connection was palpable, or the wardrobe was on point, etc. This gorgeous Austin Maternity Portrait Session is one of those all-time favorites for me.

We chose one of my preferred location in Austin, which just looked really lush and beautiful that day and the weather was perfect. The couple was a dream! They were seriously so sweet together. I could not get over how gorgeous soon-to-be Mom, Keerti looked in her blush pink maternity dress. It was one of those days where everything just fell into place. I love the results of this session and can’t wait to meet baby girl for Newborn Portraits.

Here are a few gorgeous images from our portrait session at Bull Creek.

CAITLYN'S SENIOR PORTRAITS | GRADUATING DURING A PANDEMIC

Graduation season is usually full of tradition : caps and gowns, parties and celebrations, ceremonies and maybe even trips or vacations.

Then, 2020 happened. This graduation season was unlike any other as seniors celebrated their milestones amid the COVID-19 pandemic. I felt for these young men and women as they watched so many things they expected to happen simply get cancelled, one after another after another. So many questions they faced during what should be an exciting time, that truly has enough questions all on its own without the country or world, for that matter, being “shut down.”

But this class is strong. I photographed many high school seniors this year, and each of them had such strength and peace about the issue. Yes they were uncertain, yes they were disappointed in missing out on proms and countless other events and celebrations, like being able to walk across the stage for their commencement ceremony. But they all were going with the flow and didn’t seem to let it get to them. I have so much more respect for this class after talking with the seniors who have gone through this unprecedented experience.

Beautiful Caitlyn is just one of those amazing seniors who graduated in the midst of COVID-19. She graduated from Reagan High School and will attend UTSA and study Nursing.

Class of 2020. Keep your head up, this is a unique experience that only you will be able to tell. I know you will tell it well.

MAN'S BEST FRIEND | AUSTIN PET PHOTOGRAPHER

Meet Rio Dog. His parents love him so. He’s a very good boy. Sadly, Mom and Dad discovered he has cancer in his tail, and he has to have surgery to remove it, so they wanted to take some photos together before surgery. There is a small chance that Rio might lose his tail. If so, life will look a little different but I know he will adjust and be so happy to be healthy again. Here are just a few snaps from our fun session together.
