We Get It – You’ve Been Let Down Before

Maybe your last photoshoot was stressful, awkward, and the total opposite of fun. You spent all that money and “just wanted nice pictures, that’s all”, but instead you felt rushed through a few poses with no room for creativity. The result? Stiff, generic photos and an experience so uncomfortable it made you swear off ever doing this again. You’re not alone – and it doesn’t have to be that way.

My Photography Journey

"I picked up my first camera in 2017 while serving in the Marine Corps—what started as a passion for automotive photography quickly evolved into something more personal. Over the years, I found my stride behind the lens capturing maternity, family, and model portraits. Today, my focus is people—because nothing compares to freezing real moments of joy, love, and connection. That’s what makes this work worth it." Austin Story

Frequently Asked
Questions

Q: How does pricing work?
A: Easy – we charge a flat rate for your session, not by the hour. That means you get unlimited shooting time (lighting permitted) to achieve everything you want. We’ll discuss the exact pricing and what it includes during a free booking consultation, so there are no surprises and you know you’re getting great value.

Q: I’m super awkward in photos (and my kids never sit still). Can you handle that?
A: Absolutely! It’s our specialty to make you comfortable. We’ll guide you with fun, natural prompts – you don’t have to know how to pose. And if the kids are energetic or shy, we’ll play along and give them breaks as needed. Our clients are amazed that even the wild or awkward moments turn into beautiful, genuine shots. No stress, we promise.

Q: How soon will we get our photos, and what if I don’t like them?
A: You’ll receive your edited images in an online gallery typically within one week of the shoot. You will choose your favorites, and I will edit them and reupload them to the gallery for you to keep. And remember our 100% satisfaction guarantee – we want you to be in love with your photos. If anything falls short, we’ll work with you to fix it (free re-edits or even a re-shoot if necessary). Our job isn’t done until you have portraits you’ll treasure forever.

A family of three is captured in a side profile shot. The adults are looking in the same direction, with a child in the arms of one of the adults. They appear to be indoors, and the lighting creates a dramatic, shadowed effect on their faces.
