You’re sitting by the fire surrounded by family, reminiscing and exchanging stories over the years as your loved ones hold your memories in their hands.
Your kid is holding your proposal photos, giggling at how young you look. Your mom is tearing up at your senior portrait, wondering where the time went. Your grandma is smiling at your engagement photos, remembering her own love story and seeing pieces of it reflected in yours.
That is the magic of professional photography - especially when working with a photographer in Austin who understands how meaningful these moments truly are. Those candid moments of your first dance together as a married couple, you’re victoriously throwing your cap in the air, your partner gets down on one knee during a proposal photoshoot, or you’re laughing together in between engagement photo poses… those are the moments I love to capture.
With the click of a camera, I transform fleeting moments into engagement pictures, senior portraits, and proposal pictures that last a lifetime. But before you get your perfect shots, meet the person behind the lens.
On a quintessential early-2000s vacation, I took one look at the family camera and found my passion at the ripe age of six. My little hands gripped the Polaroid and snapped away at everything in wonder — my parents, the trees, and, of course, the glowing sunsets of West Texas.
From there, my passion for photography developed in every sense of the word. On vacations, I was the unofficial Carrete family photographer. In school, I was the documentarian, recording classmates’ very important duties of gluing and cutting. From as far back as I can remember, I saw the world through a tiny glass square, capturing the essence of life in a still frame.
As I grew and realized this hobby wasn’t just a pastime, I enrolled myself in every photography class I could find, even taking courses at the local college as a teenager.
After graduating high school and attending St. Edward’s University, I stepped into a dark room for the first time and a light went off in me. This was my future.
Electing a minor in photography, I spent three years perfecting the art of capturing memories, working in labs and dark rooms alike between my marketing classes at St. Edward’s.
As I began taking senior portraits for classmates, it became clear this wasn’t just a hobby or a college minor — it was a growing passion ready to turn into something meaningful.
Now, as a photographer in Austin TX for over a decade, I’ve memorialized countless weddings, senior portraits, engagement photoshoots, and proposal pictures throughout the Hill Country since 2016.
In every still, a powerful emotion is waiting to appear in the essence of a glossy 5x7
Maybe you’re a high school or college senior stepping into the unknown. You feel wonder and excitement, fear and nostalgia. You’re looking toward the future while leaving the past behind. These moments deserve to be commemorated because you deserve to be celebrated.
Or maybe you’re a couple starting a love story for the ages. With a wedding or engagement photoshoot, that heartwarming “I do” can be relived again and again, and you’ll fall in love all over again when you see the joyful stills of your relationship.
Whether you’re a high school senior, college graduate, or couple in Austin, these moments deserve to be celebrated, and I’m so excited to help you capture them.
