Sami’s McKinney Falls Bridal Portraits

Filed in : Bridal

Now that vows have been made and she has a new ring on her finger, I can finally share Sami’s bridal portraits! These were really hard to keep to myself. We were able to fit her bridals in between thunderstorms at McKinney Falls, and really, we couldn’t have asked for better weather. We even saw […]

Pecan Grove Fall Wedding | Janessa & Matt

Filed in : Wedding

Janessa & Matt are married! Their wedding was a blast and completely a reflection of them: laid back and casual, but organized (we were ahead of schedule all day!), a uniquely modern style with orange wildflowers everywhere (perfect for two UT grads); and fun and filled with funny toasts and jokes from their wedding party. […]

Evan’s UT Austin Senior Photos

Filed in : Seniors, UT Seniors

Meet Evan! Here’s graduating from UT in just a few weeks with a degree in Accounting. We enjoyed the perfect weather by walking around UT’s beautiful campus, stopping at all the scenic spots along the way. He claimed to be nervous about getting his photo taken, but I don’t know what he was worried about, […]

Austin Proposal Photographer

Night Proposal at The Domain | Ana & Jose

Filed in : Proposal

With wedding photography, I mostly communicate with and plan with the bride, but with proposals, it’s all about the future-groom and his unique ideas. It’s one of my favorite parts about photographing proposals (there are many!), and it’s a refreshing change to work with guys to plan the event that kicks off the wedding planning […]

Lone Oak Barn Wedding | Jenny & Blake

Filed in : Wedding

What a day! Jenny & Blake’s wedding day at the Lone Oak Barn was filled with laughter and dancing with their huge wedding party, many glasses of champagne, stunning decor hand-made by the bride, and a little (a lot) of luck with the weather. It rained and rained all morning but stopped in time for Jenny […]

3 Questions Brides Have When Hiring a Photographer

Filed in : LG Tips

Googling “Wedding Photographer” is overwhelming. You’ll find websites for local studios, sketchy ads, and pages and pages of listings on The Knot. It’s…a lot. If you’re like most brides, photography is important to you, but you’ve never hired a wedding photographer before, so it’s hard to know where to begin! 🤦🏽‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ Keep reading to find […]

Zilker Park Proposal | Haley & Tom

Filed in : Proposal

There’s a brand new proposal on the blog today! Tom planned an INCREDIBLE proposal to his future-wife, Haley. (When talking about proposals, I like to say “future-wife” instead of girlfriend!) Haley & Tom first met at a concert in Austin almost three years ago, and have often visited Zilker Park for ACL and to hang […]

3 Reasons Why Mini-Sessions Are Awesome

Filed in : Mini-Session

So what’s the big deal with “mini-sessions”, and why are they so great? Mini-Sessions are simply a shorter version of regular photo session. Photographers group multiple sessions together in one day, back-to-back. The date, time, and location are predetermined. All you need to do is sign up. It’s a simple and cost effective way to […]

Austin Country Club Proposal | Natalie & Matt

Filed in : Proposal

“What! What!! What is happening??” Natalie thought she was meeting up with her friends McKenna and Alexa for brunch at the Austin Country Club, but when Alexa said they needed to go somewhere first, Natalie didn’t think much of it. They drove through the winding roads of the country club and parked at the end […]

2 Things I Learned While Rebranding

Filed in : Personal

Running a photography business involves spending about 10% of my time shooting photos & editing photos and 90% of my time doing everything else. Emailing, marketing, learning in online business courses, and all of the behind-the-scenes work is how I spend most of my time. Lucky for me, I enjoy those parts a lot! For […]
