Meg & Josh: Portraits at Hops and Grain's Brewery

Our friends over at Hops & Grain Brewery commissioned us to do a set of portraits of themselves and their canine companions. The dogs Suzy and Zoe have their own beers, well, named after them, not in their water bowl or anything. The Pale Dog is named for Suzy and The One they Call Zoe [...]


Nick: Pflugerville Senior Style Session

Nick: Pflugerville Senior Style Session

In true Pflugerville fashion we met Nick because his mother and my wife teach together. Love living in our small town with big city access. Anyhow our session was intended to just be casual photos around Old Settlers Park in Round Rock. Nick is a pretty chill guy so we played this loose and laconic. [...]


Danielle: Senior Portraits

Danielle: Senior Portraits

Danielle will soon be graduating from Seguin High School and making the trek an hour north to attend the University of Texas. I say good choices all around, since that is exactly what I did. This session was a bit of whirlwind. We got through six locations/six light setups in about 2 hours plus a [...]


Jillian: Seguin Senior Portraits

Jillian: Seguin Senior Portraits

Hmm. Where to start on this session? We had the sweet and sassy section in an old barn with lots of dusts and sun. Then there was the bonfire in a field with a windmill in the background. Or maybe it was how we ended in a gym doing cross fit? Any way you slice [...]


Linda: Senior Portraits

Linda: Senior Portraits

Linda is a soon to be graduate of Cedar Park HS preparing to play volleyball as a setter for the University of Missouri. We love working with athletes like Linda. Uncomfortable at first but with a bit of coaching and mirroring Linda was using her athlete knowledge to pose and move to produce some stunning [...]


Savanna Noel: Senior Portraits

Savanna Noel: Senior Portraits

Savanna is Senior from The Woodlands, Texas with Austin, Texas roots.

Palladino Sisters: Senior Portraits

Palladino Sisters: Senior Portraits

Not often we photograph a Sister Session and a Senior Session at the same time but Kate and Christa are both graduating this year, Kate from Pflugerville HS (but going to A&M) and Christa from the University of Texas (hook’em!). We bounced around Old Settlers park and discovered a new to me barn with farm [...]


Hannah M: Seguin HS Senior Portraits

Hannah M: Seguin HS Senior Portraits

We love clients who are open to new ideas and creative suggestions. Hannah is our senior portrait client from Seguin High School that we are also using as our fusion project lab rat. We photographed Hannah as we normally would, with cinematic style and lighting. For this session though we also had our video camera [...]


Tori: Seguin HS Senior Portraits {On Stage and in the Field}

Tori: Seguin HS Senior Portraits {On Stage and in the Field}

Where do we start on this amazing session with Tori? Such a contrast in styles and interests. This is why our senior portrait sessions are so fun to do, we can show off Tori’s ability on stage and her trigger finger in the field, and finish it up with a little sass in evening wear. [...]


Falon: Liberty Hill HS Senior Portraits {Fire and Horses}

Falon: Liberty Hill HS Senior Portraits {Fire and Horses}

Go big or go home. We try to photograph by the motto when possible. Between our underwater photography, renting airplanes for landscapes or bringing more lights than the sun to session we go big. Falon wanted big. Her dad built a huge bonfire for us to use as a backdrop. Falon brought her black mare, [...]


Regan: RR McNeil Senior Portraits

Regan: RR McNeil Senior Portraits

Regan is a Senior at Round Rock McNeil High school with many talents: playing ukulele, tumbling, backflips, harmonica, and apparently quick change artist. We did more outfits in a couple hour session than I wear in a week. Our first location was at the big rock in Zilker Park. This provided us with a nature-y [...]


Trevor: Bowie HS Senior Portraits

Trevor: Bowie HS Senior Portraits

Trevor head about us from one of our previous Senior Portrait clients, Andrew, and decided to go his own route in choosing the theme of his session. Started off with Austin Skyline Casual where we had a great sky for about 10 minutes to get some cool dramatic looks with. We played around with the [...]


Nicole: Lake Travis Senior Portraits: Armed & Elevated

Nicole: Lake Travis Senior Portraits: Armed & Elevated

Nicole is our favorite type of client. We have worked with her in the past on family portraits. She knows exactly what she wants and plans accordingly. She loves, loves, loves being in front of the camera and she is cute as a button. Part of what Nicole wanted is to show off different parts [...]


Steffi’s Senior Portraits: Red Barn & Waterfalls

Steffi's Senior Portraits: Red Barn & Waterfalls

Steffi, a 2013 Senior from Westwood High School, is a little more adventuresome than the rest of her classmates. The pictures that follow will bear this out, but she also lived in France for 9 years, plans to attend University in Fort Collins, Colorado and loves her horse Gus. None of these made the photographs. [...]


Andrew’s Senior Portraits: Bowie HS

Andrew's Senior Portraits: Bowie HS

Andrew presented us with a fun challenge for his senior portrait commission. The first challenge was to get exciting rowing photos with his Texas Rowing Center jersey. I have run around Lady Bird Lake enough to have seen the rowers in their sculls and the coaching chase boats. We coordinated with one of these chase [...]


Katha: Underwater Portraits

Katha: Underwater Portraits

Continuing in our underwater portrait adventures, we went a bit more thematic this time around as we tested the pool that I hope to use for future shoots. The theme was a songwriter’s dream. Our lovely model Katha, moonlighting here as our subject is a singer songwriter in the real world. We wanted to take [...]


Sandra & Her 1977

Sandra & Her 1977

My friend Sandra has been restoring a sweet 1977 Ford pickup truck for the last year or so. Once it got to running shape she commissioned me for portraits in and around her truck. Our goal was to have Sandra be as fierce in her photos as the truck, no small task with a 4 [...]


Kelli Senior Portraits: Under & Above – Austin, Texas

Kelli Senior Portraits: Under & Above - Austin, Texas

Let me start by commenting on how adventuresome Kelli is in her choices for portraits. She searched us out because we are different and challenged me to come up with photographs that illustrate her interests to this point. One of her interests is competitive swimming, 200 Freestyle was her event. The testing we did yesterday [...]


Tennis Anyone?

Tennis Anyone?

Experimented in several areas with these images. The first aspect is a new theme for me, “Second Hand Sundays”. A Goodwill trip with a limited budget and pulling a theme out of our favorite finds. We found a super cool old tennis racket and field hockey stick along with some vintage tops and belts. Deciding [...]


Kaitlyn Senior Portraits: Austin, Texas

Kaitlyn Senior Portraits: Austin, Texas

Kaitlyn is about to embark on an amazing journey. Yes, she just graduated from the University of Texas and there is that whole scene in her life about to play out. This journey is very specific though. She is riding her bike to Alaska. 4000 miles-ish. You see, Kaitlyn is part of the UT Texas [...]


Katie: Senior Portraits in Dallas, Texas

Katie: Senior Portraits in Dallas, Texas

Can we start by saying how much we love our clients? I think we should. We love our Clients. Yes, we traveled to Dallas to do a Senior Portrait Session, but they traveled in from Arkansas! So, so awesome. The first location was at the Dallas Arboretum on a hot, hot day. Summer is here [...]

Rachel & Gus – Senior Portraits

Rachel & Gus - Senior Portraits

Rachel, from Rouse HS, approached us to do a senior portrait session with her horse Gus in a co-starring role. We talked about what we wanted to do, and Rachel gave me a broad outline but left the details to me. My favorite type of client! Now I rub my hands mischievously because we are [...]
