BEHIND THE LENS JOURNAL
AUSTIN SENIOR AND TEEN PORTRAIT STORIES
SESSIONS, RESOURCES & MILESTONE PLANNING
This is where personality meets place. Inside the journal, you’ll find featured senior and teen portrait sessions, Austin location inspiration, and thoughtful planning guidance for families preparing for this milestone season.
From time to time, I also share family and child sessions — all created with the same intentional direction and attention to personality.

Snow Days
When it snows in Austin, you strike while the iron is hot, and you get out as quickly as you can early in the morning because you don’t know how long the snow will be around. Even though by the time we got to where we decide to shoot and play, Frosty was disappearing. We did manage to find some of the white fluffy stuff and make some magic happen!
