As I’ve said before. I * LOVE * film. I will always jump at the chance to shoot film. This client wanted something softer, etherial, “Earth Mama” vibes. And I knew film was the ticket. I feel like film sessions are much more relaxed. No one is worried too much about how they look and I am less worried about whether or not I’ll get “THE” shot. This shoot not only absolutely DELIVERED, but It honestly took my breath away. It was so nice and quiet. We got to talk and just hang out. No expectations— only vibes—AND LEMME TELL YA. It paid off. This might be one of my favorite sessions to date.
Austin Family Photographer--Maternity at Walnut Creek Park
After originally re-scheduling this maternity session due to weather, we were gifted with the most * perfect * Austin weather! This couple was so fun and hilarious and I absolutely loved working with them. I was recommended to them through a previous client and I am SO grateful to have gotten to photograph their sweet family just DAYS before the delivery of their baby.
Austin Family Photographer--Late summer, late afternoon
With the pandemic, so many people have had to put off and put off their special moments. I’m so grateful for clients who trust me to be safe and to capture their memories for them during COVID. This fun couple had been putting off getting their maternity photos done but finally decided it was time. And these photos only show a snippet of how fun and loving they are. Their little girl is very lucky!
Austin Family Photographer--A cool summer morning!
This weekend we had some nice rain. Which is unusual in the Texas summer. But it “cooled things off” a bit and we had a fantastic session. We managed to get it all done before it became too steamy and hot outside. Morning sessions and morning light with morning people….. it doesn’t get much more fun than that!
Austin Maternity Photographer-- Warm days, warm hearts
Maternity shoots in the park are quickly becoming my favorite thing to photograph. This mini session is out of this world adorable and I just couldn’t wait to edit them and hand them over to this cute couple.
Plus, an evening walk in the park is always a nice way to end a long day.
Austin Maternity Photographer--Early bird session
These days, the earlier the session the better. We were out at the park before anyone else had arrived. There was a nice…cool?…breeze happening as well. The creek was almost entirely dry but what little water was flowing was very cool and clear and full of very cute teeny tiny frogs.
And morning light down in the creeks of central Texas is simply magical.

You can’t even tell that it was 10,000 degrees outside. Even in the shade!
These two were absolute troopers and we all made it through without dying of heat stroke.
Woof…. is it fall yet?
Austin Maternity Photographer-- Rainy Day Mini Session
Listen… Summer in Texas means it doesn’t rain very often. So when I woke up the other day and it was POURING mere HOURS before this maternity session, I was very bummed. But this little family was SO ready and so game for trudging through the mud at my favorite park to get these photos done. I’m so grateful. Heather is so sweet and her family is just perfect.
Austin Maternity Photographer-- In Home Studio Set Up
I haven’t been prioritizing in home sessions lately with the pandemic—but Monique and I had scheduled a maternity shoot months and months ago, and when we finally had the chance we jumped. Both she and her husband were so so sweet and easy going. My most favorite combination <3 Their little girl is on her way in just a few weeks! We got this shoot in just in time before her arrival.
Austin Family Photographer-- Maternity session on the Ranch
When I first talked with Carly about her Maternity session, we went back and forth a little bit about how to do it while maintaining proper social distancing. Maternity sessions can be pretty intimate sometimes, and of course neither of us wanted to cross any boundaries and make the other uncomfortable. Her idea was to head out into the hill country onto a family ranch for the photos— Where blue bonnets and blue skies were plentiful and it was easier to maintain distance. Boy was she right. What a beautiful day and a beautiful place out in Spicewood. The air was fresh and cool on our skin and spirits were high. My only wish that would have made this session any better would have been to be able to give ‘em a big ol’ hug at the end when we were saying our goodbyes.
I hope everyone is safe and happy and healthy right now!
Austin Family Photographer- Maternity session at sunset
A twist of fate brought this couple to me for their maternity session and I couldn’t have been more thrilled. Amanda and Josh are expecting their first born baby pretty soon and I am honored to have been their photographer. This couple was up for anything! Including the part of the show where I told them “alright, time to stand in the middle of the creek!”
Congratulations, you two! <3
I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy in these troubling times.
Austin Family Photographer-- Maternity Session at Zilker Botanical Gardens
This session was cold and magical! <3 Maternity sessions are always so dreamy and wonderful and this family was absolutely perfect. It’s really an honor to photograph families as they are about to transition into a new phase. The birth of a new baby changes the dynamic they have with their older children, but it’s almost like I can SEE their hearts growing to encompass all that is to come. This session left my heart so full.
