FAMILY PORTRAITS
AUSTIN FAMILY PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER
Story Driven
Family Portraits in Austin
Family portraits should feel connected — not chaotic.
As an Austin family portrait photographer, I create refined, story and personality-driven images that feel natural while remaining intentional. These sessions are guided with clarity, so families feel relaxed, not overly posed or overwhelmed.
The goal isn’t perfection.
It’s presence.
Clean composition. Genuine interaction. Artwork designed to last beyond the moment.
The Family Portrait Experience
1. Planning & Coordination
We begin with a planning and consultation to align wardrobe, color palette, and overall aesthetic. Thoughtful coordination ensures the session feels cohesive without appearing overly matched.
Location, timing, and light are selected intentionally to support a calm and organized experience.
We will also talk about ahead of time what you will want to do with your images such as albums, wall art and prints.
2. Guided, Structured Sessions
Family sessions are directed clearly and efficiently. Rather than relying on endless candid attempts, each sequence is guided with purpose — allowing for natural interaction within a structured framework. The idea is to create a space where natural interactions are encouraged.
Children are engaged confidently, transitions are smooth, and sessions remain focused without feeling rushed.
3. Artwork & Presentation
After the session, images are professionally curated and presented at a private ordering appointment. Families select their favorite portraits for albums, wall art, and heirloom pieces.
The emphasis is on creating finished artwork, not overwhelming families with hundreds of unfiltered files.

My family sessions are great for:
• Annual documentation
• Updated wall portraits
• Transitional family seasons
• Multi-generational portraits
These portraits become part of your home — not just your camera roll.
