Family photos in Austin

Austin is an ideal city for family photos. We’ve got great weather in spring and fall and beautiful outdoor spaces in spades. Two of my favorite free parks for family photos are Waterloo Greenway and Big Stacy Park. Both offer natural outdoor photos and a modern cityscape, and variety is the spice of life. I continue to take family photos along with weddings because I love a little chaos 😉, and I recognize that this moment in time with your kids will go by in a flash. My goal always is to capture natural and candid moments — that’s where the best photos happen.

If you’re considering a session at home, YES. We hang out at your house, pile on the couch, and make photos that feel very personal to you and your home lives.

Finally, I know family photos can feel stressful sometimes for the parents. I encourage you to release it all (as best you can) and let your kids play and be themselves. I do a little bit of direction so that we get a few camera-facing photos with smiles, but mostly, I want to capture a slice of life. I’m happy to talk about outfit planning, locations, etc. before your family session so you feel more prepared.

Family photos are always worth it, so let’s chat!
