TriStar Farms – Branding Photo Session

TriStar Farms – Branding Photo Session

TriStar Farms has two locations – one in Austin near St. Edwards Park and one in Coupland, Texas (about a 40 minute drive from Austin).

Between their two locations, they offer horse boarding, trail rides (Coupland location only), riding lessons, birthday parties and summer camp.

For their Branding Photo Session, we focused on the trail rides they offer in Coupland. It was the first time I’d been up on a horse in a few decades. But the staff was so friendly and helpful, and I relearned how to steer a horse (reins in one hand while taking photos with the other hand). They put me on Tilly – who was as sweet as can be.

CLICK HERE to learn more about their Trail Rides. And if you book a ride, I recommend going an hour before sunset to enjoy golden hour like we did for these photos.

A selection of their photos appear below. The full gallery (password protected) is HERE.

Carsyn the Elf – Halloween Photo Session

Carsyn the Elf – Halloween Photo Session

One of my favorite shoots of the year is the annual Halloween collaboration with this family. As you can see from the pic below – they were one of the very first people to hire me (over 10 years ago).

How magical to see over a decade of work in one place 🙂

This year the costume idea was “Elf” – with makeup by Drop By Gorgeous, an outfit from the Renaissance Festival and accessories bought online.

Once the hair, makeup and costume were in place, we went to explore Garey Park in Leander, Texas.

Please enjoy some favorites from the session below. Full gallery (password protected) available HERE.

Waterloo Greenway Park – Fall Family Photo Session

Waterloo Greenway Park is one of my favorite spots in Austin for family photo sessions. The gardens are always beautiful year round. You just have to make sure there’s not a competing event during your time slot.

Neon Workshop with Azulox – Ballroom ATX

Neon Workshop with Azulox – Ballroom ATX

How often do I get to play with neon lighting and photograph models in a bar a night? Not very often. Luckily I signed up for the:

80s Neon Shooting Experience with Josh Baker 

hosted by Precision Camera, taught by Azulox Visuals, held at The Ballroom’s Speakeasy and got a chance to try new lighting techniques.

See some favorites in the gallery below, full set available HERE.
