Austin TX Senior High School 2025 Shoot | Samson | Westlake High School

I photographed Samson a few weeks ago and he's just a natural in front of the camera (just like his older brother who I photographed a few years ago). He plays the drums in band so we thought it would be so cool to incorporate that into his shoot. @AviatorNation was nice enough to let us borrow their awesome drum set for a few photos and I just love the vibe happening in them! The photos of him on the vintage couch with the drum set in the background are killing me! SOCO ended up being the perfect backdrop for his shoot. You've got to see his video! Grab a snack and a drink, kick back and turn the music up. P.s. I do not own the rights to this song.

ATX High School Senior 2025 Shoot | Ava Rose | Bowie High School

Everything about this photo shoot with Ava was SO fun! Her and her mom had me laughing the whole shoot. I just love how her personality comes out in all her photos. The raised eyebrow is apparently her signature move so we had to document that! She hasn't quite decided yet where she's going to college but the rents are wanting her to keep being a UT Longhorn in the family so only time will tell. Grab some twisty pretzels and a drink and kick back and enjoy Ava's video!P.s. I do not own the rights to this song.

ATX Senior 2025 Shoot | Regents High School | Lydia

Ooooh weeeee! I've been photographing Lydia since she was in preschool so you can only imagine how difficult it is for me to photograph her as a senior in high school. I know I say this every year but it's just crazy to see these kids grow up so fast! I dug into the archives and had to share one photo of Lydia when she was younger hanging with her brothers. Yes, Lydia has 4 bros so I just couldn't resist sharing this oldie but goodie of them. :)

We had a great shoot in downtown Austin wandering around Rio Grande and embracing the uniqueness all around us. We enjoyed modeling and hair advice from a complete stranger, dogs wandering into our shoot, seeing the CRAZIEST BIGGEST LONGEST car of all times pull up next to us and had a fight with our confetti bomb that went every which way except the way we wanted! LOL! We laughed through it all and embraced the madness. Cheers to Lydia's next adventure in life. Your future is so bright and I can't wait to hear about your next chapter. Go ahead and grab a yummy bag of pretzels and a soda pop and kick back and enjoy her video. P.s. I do NOT own the rights to this song.

Austin TX Senior 2024 Shoot | Max | Westlake High School

Wow! Where do I even begin? I've been photographing this guy and his siblings fora verdy loooooong time! I first met them when I was starting to grow my business and ran a "Popsicle Party Mini Shoot" special...ah, the good ol' days! Those were some fun sessions. Max must've been about 3 years old then. I've gotten to watch him and his sisters grow up as I photographed the family every few years. Let's TALK about LUNA their dog! She's the best! She's been along for the ride on almost all the shoots and we have a tradition of ending the shoot with the kids chasing Luna towards me as she runs full speed. This time, we had to give Luna (who is now 12 yro) a head start so she could try and beat the kids across the field. I'm tearing up as I write this but I'm happy to know that they will have these photos to cherish forever. Max is out of here and headed the for state of Washington where he has officially become a Huskie. Thank you Polo Club Equine for allowing us to do the shoot on your beautiful property! Grab an ice cold Coke and kick back and watch Max's sweet video.

TX State Senior Grad Photo Shoot | Stephen | San Marcos, TX

I can't believe Stephen is my first Texas State senior to photograph on campus but he was and I loved every single minute of it! It was so fun running all over campus hitting all the hot spots to take photos of him. Luckily, his dad waited in line for us at "the arch" to save our spot so we could continue to shoot instead of having to wait in line. And his mom helped with all the fine details while we fought with the wind the entire time. It's crazy how these certain spots are hot spots for photos but I love that these college graduates want to document this huge accomplishment! They deserve some great shots of themselves on their college campus. I love how Stephen is rocking the classic look with his cap and gown at the arch...it's just so cool. We couldn't end the shoot without heading down to the river and photographing him floating in his cap...every Texas State student has spent a boat load of time at the river! Grab your cup of joe and kick back and enjoy Stephen's video.

Incarnate Word Graduate 2024 Photo Shoot | Bevin | San Antonio, TX

Woohoooo! Unbelievable that Bevin is already graduating college from Incarnate Word! It seems like yesterday that I was photographing her high school senior photos and with a blink of an eye here she is graduating college! She's graduating with honors and already has a nursing job lined up...so happy and proud of her! I've practically watched this one grow up and I'm over the moon for her and her family. Congratulations, Bevin! Grab a drinky poo and kick back and enjoy her video!

Senior Shoot 2024 | Espi | Austin, TX State Capitol

Espi showed up for her senior shoot wearing a super cute green and white dress that looked amazing with her hazel/greenish brown eyes. We utilized the inside of the State Capitol's architecture with the cool columns, stairs and dome and then headed outside for some outdoors shots. The weather was just scrumptious. It was actually one of those perfect spring days in Austin so we had the perfect setting to take her photos while the sun slowly set. Grab a hot tea, turn the sound up and kick back and enjoy Espi's video!
