ABOUT ME
I am a native of the San Francisco Bay Area and currently reside in Austin, Texas with my husband, two sons and our two corgis.

I LOVE . . .
books, movies, coffee and garage sales
having a great conversation with a friend
a sunny day with just the right amount of breeze
going over the Golden Gate Bridge
watching dogs play together
when my sons laugh and play together
when I love a book so much that I don't want it to end
really good beer
the sound of a screen door slamming

I DO NOT LOVE . . .
sitting in traffic
feeling like I never have enough time
heavy metal music
when my dogs bark
weak coffee or beer
loud noises


PORTRAIT SESSIONS / WHAT TO EXPECT
I love becoming part of your world for a few hours. I don't want you to primp or dress up. I just want you to be yourself. It is the essence of you and your relationship with your family that I seek to capture. I won't pose you or make you smile. I may suggest some fun things to do, but that's about where the structure ends. I want you to forget that I am there.

After you book a session with me we discuss location. I shoot on location at people's homes or a favorite spot. I use all natural lighting. The session itself lasts about 2 hours. Within three weeks I prepare an online proofing gallery for you to browse through and pick your favorites.

When is the best time to photograph your family? Every day.


PORTRAITS / PRICING
All portrait sessions are done on-location and include up to two hours of shooting. All of your photographs are individually edited and then posted online for your and you family and friends' viewing. I offer a wide array of products including custom coffee table books, fine art canvas and paper prints, digital negatives and much more.

Portrait sessions start at $350 in the Austin area. Travel is an additional charge. Twice a year (Fall and Spring) I do sessions in Northern and Southern California. If you are interested in those, please send me your contact information so I can add you to the mailing list. Travel to other cities is also possible, so please email me with your interest.


WEDDINGS / WHAT TO EXPECT
One of you asked. One of you said YES. And now you are heading down the aisle. I love weddings. I especially love photographing them. I like being the proverbial fly on the wall and recording your story in a way that will take you back to that day again and again. Wedding photography doesn't have to be boring, it should be fun and that is my goal. I love what I do and I hope that it shows in every image that I capture. I hope to have the honor of sharing your special day with you and telling your story.

WEDDINGS / PRICING
Wedding packages start at $3000. If none of my packages fit your needs I would be happy to customize one for you. For detailed pricing and product information please contact me at 512-968-6437 or send me an email.
