Whether this is your first photography session or you’ve been in front of the camera a dozen times, it’s completely normal to feel a little nervous beforehand. You might be wondering if the kids will cooperate, whether everyone’s outfits will work together, or if you’ll actually know what to do once the camera comes out.

Choosing the perfect location for your session can feel overwhelming, so I’ve updated my Central Texas Photography Location Guide with even more inspiration and tips! From golden fields and wooded trails to lakeside views and meaningful places close to home, let’s find a location that feels like you and brings your vision to life.

Think you’re awkward in front of the camera? You’re not alone—and you certainly don’t need to know how to pose to create beautiful, natural photographs. Learn how movement, connection, and a little guidance can turn an uncomfortable photo session into images that genuinely feel like you.

The Derretts are back, and Hollyn is looking more gorgeous than ever. I’ve had the absolute honor of photographing so many seasons of their story, and this session felt extra special as they prepare to welcome their sweet baby girl.

There is something about fall that makes photographs feel a little more meaningful. Maybe it is the softer evening light, the warmth of changing leaves, or simply the feeling that comes with watching one season quietly give way to another. Fall has a way of making us slow down and appreciate the moments that might otherwise pass unnoticed.

This sweet gender reveal was so amazing! From the loving families and friends, to the very yummy snacks, and the stunning decor, it was a dream come true. Hollyn & Maurice Derrett are expecting their first baby! How exciting!
