The people we love.
The ones who love us.
Photographs that feel like us.
The way your child leans into you. Your parents laughing together. The companion who follows you from room to room.
These relationships give our lives so much meaning. “what matters” is an invitation to celebrate them, with expressive, carefully crafted portraits that capture both who you are and how you belong together.
I’ll guide you through the photographs, so you can spend more time enjoying the people you came with.
For the little moments, big personalities, and love that makes your family yours. Immediate family, up to 5 people.
Bring parents, grandparents, siblings, and cousins together. Extended and multigenerational families, up to 15 people.
For the companions who make ordinary days better. A session celebrating your bond, with up to 5 participants total, including pets.
Studio sessions at Canopy, East Austin. For extended families, studio suitability and group arrangements are confirmed before booking.
Wardrobe guidance and a conversation about who’s coming and what matters to you.
Help with posing, movement, and interaction, so everyone feels supported.
All best images, professionally edited. At least 30 photographs to download and keep.
A private online gallery for viewing, downloading, and sharing with your people.
Some children give us their best in a burst of energy. Some pets need a little time to explore. Bigger families need space for everyone to have their moment.
We plan a dedicated session around your group, with room to warm up and pause. If we capture what we need quickly, there’s no need to keep anyone posing longer.
Choose a setting, coordinate clothing, and identify the people and combinations you’d love photographed.
I guide the session and keep an eye on everyone’s energy. You don’t need to know what to do in front of the camera.
Your edited collection arrives in a private gallery. Download your photographs and choose how you’d like to bring them into your home.
A photograph you pass in the hallway. An album you open together. Give your favorite images a place in your everyday life.
Add a custom-designed photo album to your session. We’ll choose a format and finish that suit your collection.
Albums starting at $400Optional upgrade. Size, page count, materials, and final price are confirmed before ordering.
As a planning guide, allow up to 60 minutes for immediate families or people with pets, and up to 90 minutes for extended families. We confirm your session window in advance and work efficiently when children or pets are ready. You’re investing in the experience and photographs; there’s no need to use every minute.
You receive the complete curated collection of successful photographs, with at least 30 edited images. Duplicate frames, test shots, missed focus, and closed-eye photographs are excluded. RAW files are not included. Your collection includes high-resolution downloads.
The studio gives us a simple, editorial setting and controlled light. Outdoors gives us natural light and room to move at an agreed Austin location. Outdoor pricing reflects the additional location planning, travel, and setup. Any special location fees are agreed before booking.
We review the group size, accessibility needs, and the portraits you want before confirming a studio booking. If the space won’t comfortably fit your full group, we’ll recommend an outdoor setting or quote a suitable alternative studio.
That’s part of the plan. We can photograph other combinations while someone rests, take a short pause, or work in quick bursts. Let us know about any needs before the session so we can prepare together.
We’ll review the forecast together and agree on a backup plan before your session, which may include rescheduling or an available studio alternative.
