You’re a business owner looking to level up your visual content. How do you know which photographer to choose for your branding photo session?

Here’s what I bring to the table:

Compelling Visual Storytelling: With a background in photojournalism, I specialize in visual storytelling. I’ll capture what’s special about your business through stunning imagery. I’ll work closely with you to understand your brand’s unique personality and values, ensuring that every photo aligns with your vision.

Professionalism: With over 10 years of experience, I bring a high level of professionalism to every shoot. You can trust that I’ll deliver on time and within budget, providing you with the polished photos you need to stand out. On one photo set, I was nicknamed the “Get ‘er Done Girl” by a cowboy as I kept everyone on time and well organized.

Local Expertise: Having been based in Austin for over 20 years gives me a deep understanding of the local culture and aesthetics. I know the best locations and lighting to showcase your brand in the most authentic way possible.

Versatility: Whether you need headshots, product photography, event coverage, or lifestyle shots, I can handle it all. My versatility ensures that you have a comprehensive portfolio of images to use across various marketing channels.

Collaboration: I believe in a collaborative approach. Your input and ideas are essential to creating the perfect visual representation of your brand. We’re better together, so let’s bring your vision to life.
