Barr Mansion in the spring, and a day that was left to run at its own pace. The plan was simple: stay close, stay quiet, and let the hours do what they were always going to do.Documentary coverage through the day, with a short window set aside for portraits while the light was still soft.

Berkeley & Tony

Senior sessions are planned end to end before anyone picks up a camera: outfits, locations, and a start time about two hours before sunset so the light stays kind.The aim is always the same, portraits that look like the person in them rather than a pose she was talked into.

Caroline

Hotel Ella holds its light beautifully, so most of this day was photographed exactly where it happened, with very little moved and even less arranged.Film and digital together, the way every wedding here is covered.

Charmaine & Garrett

Engagement sessions are the rehearsal nobody thinks they need. An hour or two together before the wedding takes the strangeness out of being photographed, and it means the wedding day starts with people who already know each other.This one ran into twilight at Laguna Gloria and stayed there.

An autumn date at Barr Mansion, built on a timeline we set together about eight weeks out so nothing had to be rushed on the day itself.Candid through the ceremony and the party, with the posed frames kept few and kept quick.

Savannah & Matt

Sessions run about an hour and a half, and the guesswork is taken out well before then. Outfit guides, location ideas, and a design consultation come first.Sneak peeks land within a few days of the session, with the full gallery a few weeks behind them.

Senior portraits made for someone who wanted them to feel like her.

Julia

February at The Arlo, where the day stayed close and indoors and the coverage stayed close with it.Photographed the way it happened, with room left for the quiet parts.

Danielle & Ryan

Woodbine Mansion in September, covered end to end. Full-day coverage means the morning counts as much as the reception does.A blend of documentary frames and classically posed portraits, which is what the whole experience is built around.

Hailey & Austin

Every engagement session is designed around the couple in it, which mostly means picking somewhere that already means something to them and then staying out of the way.They are included with most wedding collections for a reason.

Jenna & Alan

Villa Antonia sits above the hill country, and a day there earns the wide frames as much as the close ones.Film runs alongside digital through the day, which is where a lot of the softness in these comes from.

Megan & Baker

Flattering and authentic first, with a good bit of creativity built in on top. That balance is the whole point of a bespoke senior session.Posing is guided the entire way through, so nobody has to arrive knowing what to do with their hands.

Ella

A downtown day at South Congress Hotel, where the city does half the work if you let it into the frame.Coverage stayed close through the whole of it, which is usually where the best frames are hiding.

Highpointe Estate gives you the big Texas sky, so this one was framed to keep it.Wide where the landscape earned it, close everywhere else.

Hummingbird House, and a day spent largely outside under the trees.Photographed on film and digital together, with the timeline built to keep the portraits in the good light.

Elena & Justin

Out at Lost Pines, far enough from the city that the day slows down on its own.Film frames throughout, which is where this one gets its warmth.

Alyssa & Mason

A bridal session is a Texas tradition worth keeping: the dress, the light, and an hour with none of the wedding-day clock running.It is also the best possible trial run for how the portraits will feel on the day itself.

Emerald

Hotel Ella is a historic house before it is a venue, and a wedding there is best covered the way you would cover a day at home.Available light almost throughout.
