Chocolates for Noons
Good chocolate deserves good photography, and Noons delivers on both. These all-natural chocolate bites, made in Brooklyn, are the kind of product that makes a shoot genuinely fun. We kept things warm, lush, and a little dreamy to match the brand’s vibe. The Banana nibs are my personal favorites. Find out more about Noons here.

A Better Source: A directory for environmentally conscious designers
One of my most favorite photoshoots of this year was for A Better Source, an online directory for graphic and designers and business owners to learn about more sustainable ways to manufacture packaged goods. I’ve been interested in the zero waste, and circular economy movement for some time now so I couldn’t be more excited to collaborate with JJ Wright, the mastermind behind this project. The directory is not just a one-stop shop to find alternate ways to produce goods, but also full of education on what materials are and are not sustainable. Read more here.

Marris Walker
Marris Walker is the creative studio of graphic design duo Mia Carameros and Kelsey Stewart, and their work is exactly the kind you want to photograph. Clean lines, considered details, and a visual language that’s all their own. I had so much fun making portfolio images for their new website launch. This is the kind of Austin creative work I love getting behind the lens for.

Mille Branding Shoot
Mille is one of those brands with a really clear point of view, and getting to photograph their collateral was a treat. Soft tones, tactile textures, and that unmistakable FODA studio touch throughout. Product and branding photography like this is where I love to live.

Mañana Cafe at South Congress Hotel
Mañana Café is a bright, modern coffee shop located inside the South Congress Hotel in Austin, Texas. The café is known for its minimalist interior, specialty coffee program, and house-made pastries, making it a favorite stop along South Congress Avenue.
I photographed this project for the Austin-based branding and design studio FÖDA, who created the visual identity and branding for the café. My focus was documenting the clean interior architecture, natural light, and thoughtful design details that define the space.
As an Austin commercial photographer, I regularly photograph restaurants, cafés, and hospitality spaces for designers, branding studios, and hospitality groups throughout Texas.
Yeah Field Trip in Marfa, Texas
I’m so excited to take a road trip to back my favorite area West Texas to photograph landscapes and attend my first photography retreat, Yeah Field Trip taking place at the end of this month. I’ve taken courses and went to meetups but never a full blown photography retreat! I’m ready to meet other creatives like me and learn! Here are some images I’ve taken in the past in Marfa.
Cocollected: Chairish Home Tour
Here’s a feature I photographed for Chairish. As a minimalist at heart, it was so fun to peek inside a self-proclaimed maximalist’s at home. I’m scared of stacking art on top of each other or lining up sculptures along one table but Courtney Madden makes designing her home effortless! It made me rethink my bare aesthetic. This is by far one of the most interesting homes I photographed in 2018.
Courtney sells her vintage and antique finds online. Check out more of her finds here.
Austin Interior Design Photography: Windsor Park Home Tour
I photographed this colorful Windsor Park home as part of an editorial feature highlighting creative residential design in Austin, Texas. As an Austin architectural and interior photographer, I love documenting spaces that balance strong design with personality and warmth.
This project showcases a thoughtful mix of textures, color, and natural light. The design brings together modern elements with playful details that reflect the homeowner’s style while maintaining a cohesive visual story throughout the home.
My approach to interior and architectural photography in Austin focuses on clean composition, natural light, and highlighting the details that make a space unique. I regularly work with interior designers, architects, and hospitality brands to photograph residential and commercial projects throughout Austin and Texas.
LA Vibes: A Dreamy Shoot for West~Bourne Cafe
I had the opportunity to road trip all around Los Angeles, California and capture everyday moments of beauty for West~Bourne Cafe. I saw city life, the beaches, the mountains, architecture, and food. What a fun way to hide behind a camera and discover one of my favorite cities. You can see these images and more on their instagram.
Le Politique Patisserie
Le Politique, a new French bistro has opened in downtown Austin. I had the opportunity to photograph their cute little Parisian style patisserie next door for FÖDA Studio.
Hill Country Bed & Breakfast
Look at this absolutely charming casita I photographed for fellow photographer Andrea Turner. It's pretty unusual for me to love every nook and cranny of a home but I was impressed, down to the art in the bathroom. I wouldn't mind having a weekend gettaway here.
Hemphill Remodel with Liz Macphail Interiors
I am absolutely obsessed with this historic Hyde Park renovation I shot last week. I fell in love the tiles, the rugs, and the way interior design Liz Macphail mixed black and white together. Swoon!
Kasita, The Hip New Tiny House
I had the pleasure of photographing a little Kasita for their website. I already live in a pretty small home but I'm pretty sure I can easily downsize if my tiny house looked like this. Want your Kasita? Take a look here.
Figure 8 Coffee Purveyors Austin
Figure 8 Coffee Purveyors is one of East Austin’s most beloved independent coffee shops, founded by Ryan Hall and Kathleen Carmichael. Tucked into the heart of the East Austin neighborhood, this charming space quickly became a local institution and a personal favorite. I had the pleasure of photographing Figure 8 Coffee Purveyors for a commercial branding shoot that captures the warmth, craft, and community that make this coffee shop so special. From the intimate bar counter and beautifully poured latte art to the sun-drenched outdoor patio and the faces behind it all, these images tell the story of a place where East Austin comes to gather. Figure 8 Coffee Purveyors reflects the creative, independent spirit that defines the Austin coffee scene, and it was a joy to document through commercial photography.
