YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED!

Not at all. You absolutely can if you want that adventurous feel, but around the Austin area there are so many beautiful locations that require little to no walking. Some of my favorite spots are just minutes from parking and still give you that dreamy, scenic backdrop without the stress of a hike.
Whether you’re planning a wedding day, maternity session, or photos with little ones, I always keep accessibility and comfort in mind. We can choose anything from open fields and waterfront views to quiet hill country overlooks, all without trekking miles to get there. The goal is for your session to feel relaxed, intentional, and easy so you can stay present instead of exhausted.

Absolutely. Most of my clients are not professional models, and honestly, they don’t need to be. I guide you through the entire experience in a way that feels natural, connected, and true to you. Instead of stiff poses, I focus on movement, emotion, and creating space for genuine moments to happen.
You’ll never be left wondering what to do with your hands or worrying about looking awkward. I’ll direct you every step of the way while still leaving room for the candid, in-between moments that make your photos feel like you.

For weddings, I typically recommend booking 8–18 months in advance, especially for spring and fall dates in Texas since those seasons fill quickly.
For Sessions, maternity, Newborn and family sessions, booking 2–4 months ahead is usually ideal. If you’re hoping for wildflowers, cooler weather, or a specific season, reaching out earlier is always best. That said, don’t hesitate to ask about last-minute availability, sometimes dates open up unexpectedly!

Yes! styling is a huge part of creating photos that feel cohesive and intentional. I provide styling guidance for every session and help you choose outfits that photograph beautifully while still feeling comfortable and true to your family.
I also offer access to a curated client closet for motherhood sessions, filled with timeless, neutral pieces that move beautifully on camera. I’m always happy to help coordinate outfits for partners and little ones as well, so you don’t have to figure it all out alone.

Absolutely! While I’m based in Austin, Texas, I’m always open to traveling for weddings, & elopements. Whether it’s the Texas Hill Country, the mountains, the coast, or somewhere completely new, I love documenting stories in meaningful places!

Travel within Texas is included, so there are no additional travel fees for sessions or weddings inside state lines. For out-of-state travel, a custom travel fee may apply depending on the location and accommodations needed. If you have somewhere special in mind, I’d love to hear about it.

You want someone who’s truly invested in your wedding day, not just there to document it! Weddings are my first love and I’ve been guiding couples through their biggest day since 2014. I’m not just your photographer, I’m your advocate, your encourager, and that hype-girl who makes you feel confident, calm, and absolutely seen in every moment. From the first consultation to the last dance, I’m here to help you feel supported and celebrated.

You want photos that feel authentic, emotional, and timeless. My style blends real connection + intentional posing so you never have to wonder what to do or how to stand. I lead with prompts that make your moments feel effortless and genuine, all while capturing the actual emotions and energy of your session or wedding day, Whether it’s the quiet tears during your vows, that teary eyes while looking at your new baby or the wild toddler who just wants to play endless tag, I want your photos to feel like you.

We plan family vacations around traveling to Chanze for photos!
