Your engagement photos should feel warm, natural, and true to your story — not stiff or overly posed. My engagement and couples sessions focus on genuine laughter, quiet moments, and meaningful connection.
Sessions take place at beautiful Austin locations like the UT campus, Brushy Creek Lake Park, Walnut Creek, or your favorite place that holds sentimental value.
Your engagement session should feel effortless and fun. I guide you using simple prompts, so you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera.
Whether you love soft golden hour light, lakeside views, modern city backdrops, or a cozy lifestyle setting, I’ll help you choose the perfect location. These images become memories you’ll treasure for years — and beautiful portraits for save-the-dates, wedding websites, home decor, and more.

During your engagement or couples session, you can expect:
• A relaxed, comfortable atmosphere
• Natural prompts that bring out real emotion
• Warm, romantic lighting and modern editing
• Authentic expressions — never stiff, never awkward
• Images that reflect your relationship and personality
My goal is to create portraits that feel modern, meaningful, and true to you.
