*You want an emotive session without the emphasis on posed images. You want a few traditional portraits, of course, but you are seeking the rest of your gallery to be filled with snippets of love, movement, and connection. This means that I'm not begging your kids to smile or that you need to look at my camera for most of the session. 

*You trust my style guide and wardrobe options. You are looking forward to a Styling Session as part of your portrait experience and love the idea that I'm a one-stop-shop when it comes to family pictures. 

*You trust my guidance on when and where to shoot. For in home sessions, this typically means around 11AM. For outdoor, this will be at Golden Hour, which is an hour before sunset or right at sunrise. Even though it might require stretching bedtime or getting up early to catch a sunrise depending on the time of year, you trust my expertise and know that shooting at the right time will result in that dreamy light you love in my portfolio. You're also down to travel a little bit for the right location when needed because you trust that I'm going to pick somewhere great that fits your family and also gives you the best experience and light.

There are a lot of great photographers here in the Austin area. Here are some ways to know if I might be the right fit for you:

Am I Right for You?

*You aren't afraid to love on each other. You are all about being playful with your kids, and you're not afraid of Ring Around the Rosie or a good toss in the air. Twirls and laughter are your middle name, and you are totally cool with kissing, hugging, and snuggling your people in front of my lens.

*You let the little things go. You aren't the person who is going to stress that every hair is perfectly in place or have wardrobes that constantly need to be buttoned, tucked, and adjusted. You believe me when I say that a little outdoor wind and nature adds depth to your images. You want the emphasis to be on your beautiful family, highlighting your love and connection, and you're not going to stress over the tiny details that have the ability to break your session experience. You are an adventurous family who is ok running in water, getting toes in sand, laying in grass, walking through fields, and not staying stagnant for our session. 

A few weeks after our session, you can expect the very best images in your gallery to be fully polished and edited. They'll then be presented to you in a beautiful slideshow where you can really soak them in with your family. You're then able to upgrade your collection at this time, if desired. I also have a beautiful digital storefront of prints and modern products that you can choose from to use your print credit. Why a print credit? Because I believe that beautiful family images belong on the walls and in your hands, not just collecting dust on a hard drive or generating likes on a Facebook post. Here are just a few of the custom products that you can choose from. Please note that this album represents a luxury add on that is not the standard photo book given with the Memoir Package.
