When it comes to your wedding, I would be nothing short of honored to capture the big special parts and the little moments in between. I love couples who forge their own path, stay true to who they are, and let their love shine versus falling in line with trends and traditions.

So many porch sessions this week! LOVE seeing your faces and finally meeting so many of my past wedding clients kiddos! And meeting some new folks! These have been so good for my soul. I’m going to keep offering these sessions along with my regular sessions outdoors at safe distances. Prices for porch sessions will go up June 1st. 🌻
I often have folks ask me what my definitive style of photography is. “Is it editorial? Is it documentary?” Well, it’s both. Some of my favorite shots that I capture are like this one, in the moment, pure emotion - the classics. But I also love styling a playful editorial portrait that feels very modern. My favorite phrase for describing my work is “vibrantly soulful” to combine my worlds of art. 🌻This also ties in with my background in black and white film photography and love for modern art. I was that arty kid who lived in the darkroom in high school + college. 👐

Sunday mornings are my favorite. Coffee, a new book, and lists! I’ve been writing out personal goals and business goals a lot lately..and today I’m focusing on home goals to tackle soon. This is the first year in a while I haven’t had a trip planned for this time of the year around my birthday..we’ve been on the fence about taking a mini trip here in Texas. Are you guys dipping your toes into short distance travel? Curious where you’re going if so! I’m also seriously ready to organize our house. Newly married in my 30s means house organization really excites me apparently. Or maybe it’s just quarantine changing my priorities. 😂
Excited to announce that I’m opening up bookings for my normal sessions again at a safe distance and all outside! Front Porch sessions will continue to be available but prices will be going up as of June 1st to $300 + tax for central Austin or $350 for areas further out(within 25 miles). Reach out if you have any questions or to get scheduled! ❤️
Dancing on the beach barefoot on their wedding day. Does it get better than that? ✨✨
Filling my calendar with micro weddings (social distancing style) and porch sessions these days. I can’t tell you how nice it is to shoot again and feel productive. I’m just utterly grateful to feel like I have something to contribute and can create memories for you all through this crazy time. 🌻
I find solace in photos of past adventures containing bodies of water. Anyone else? Blue Lagoon in Iceland, 2017, but feels like eternity ago.
If nothing else, this weird time has taught me so much about the importance of family. I miss them like crazy. But last night we all hopped on zoom so my little sister could walk across the “stage” in my parents living room to receive her masters of nursing degree from UT. Her husband wore a fur collared cape and acted as master of ceremony and we all toasted to her. It wasn’t the same as being there in person, but what a memory. Miss these guys.
When elevators make the perfect back drop. Captivated by this shade of blue. And these two..I’ll always be inspired by their beautiful day. @southcongresshotel, @pearleventsaustin, @stemsofatx, @adoremakeupsalon
Remembering packed swimming holes..ah, the good ol days. Anyone else itching for swimming in Barton Springs or well anywhere?
A few years ago this sweet couple planned a big wedding here in Austin, they booked it all, then decided “actually we’d rather elope”. With 17 of their closest family and friends they changed course to the beaches of Big Sur. I was lucky to be invited along for the ride. ✨No matter what decision you make in your wedding planning through this weird time in life, do what feels right to YOU and don’t feel pressured in any direction. Postponing for the big party, opting for a micro wedding, or eloping are all options but at the end of the day, it’s your choice, It’s your day ❤️
