The short answer is no. I take hundreds of photos during any given session. Afterward, each photo is put into a selection process. You will receive all the images that meet the Photographer’s standards. No unedited or RAW images will be delivered as they do not represent my final work. Please let me know ahead of time if you have any special image requests.

The editing process takes about 3-4 weeks during the busy seasons and about 1-2 weeks during non-peak seasons. I try to deliver your images as quickly as possible!

Yep! When I send you the final gallery, there will be an option where you can order small prints, framed or wrapped canvases, fine art albums, cards, and lots more. All tangible items ordered through our gallery store are printed from a professional lab and can be delivered straight to your doorstep. It’s super easy!

Definitely! There are so many beautiful places for photography in Austin. After you book a session, I will send you a questionnaire to help plan the session. We will choose a location that best fits your style and convenience.

Yes. I use several professional photography studio spaces for families who want a session indoors. Depending on where you live, will be the studio we choose. There is a studio in South Austin, Pflugerville, and Leander.

Great thing about studio sessions is we don’t have to worry about inclement weather or outdoor related issues like wind, bugs, or busy parks. It’s also completely private, which allows your family to relax and enjoy your time together without distractions.

I would love to help. I can send you a Family Style Guide and Pinterest board that gives you tips and ideas for picking the best outfits for your family. You can also send me unlimited texts and photos until we decide what looks best.

In the picture above, the child is literally holding a potato. (hehe!) We will do everything we can to keep the mood happy for the kiddos.

For newborns, if the baby starts to get fussy it just means it’s time to take a break to tend to their needs. Your kids do not need to be perfect angels to get great photos!

If your pet is well behaved and you’re able to bring someone to handle them when they’re not needed for photos, then most definitely!

Yellowbird is a nickname my husband gave me when we first started dating. It’s from a lyric in a song called Poison Oak.

It was the sweetest thing anyone had ever called me. Cheesy, I know! However, if you know me.. I’m pretty cheesy myself. I’m a bleeding-heart vegan who loves animals, romantic comedies, and cries over every wedding proposal. I am in love with love! I can’t help myself.

I am a natural light photographer so I rarely use flash. My main camera body is a Mirrorless Canon EOS R6 and my backup is a Canon EOS RP. I have a variety of lenses I will pull out during a session. Right now my favorite is my Canon RF 28-70 2.0 zoom lens.
