Frequently Asked Questions

What types of photography do you specialize in?

I focus on hospitality, real estate, ranch, winery, and lifestyle photography in Central Texas. My work often includes landscapes, interiors, events, and brand storytelling for businesses that want to elevate their online presence, attract new customers, or refresh their marketing visuals.

Do you offer real estate photography in Central Texas?

Yes — I provide professional real estate and land photography throughout Austin, San Antonio, Hill Country, and beyond. My goal is to create high-quality listing photos that help agents sell faster, attract more buyers, and highlight not just the home but the lifestyle it offers.

How can photography help my ranch, winery, or hospitality business?

Professional imagery builds trust and credibility with your audience. For ranches, that means showcasing land, wildlife, and lodging. For wineries and hospitality venues, it means creating inviting visuals of your space, products, and events that connect with guests emotionally. Strong photography is one of the most effective ways to stand out online and on social media.

Do you provide event photography?

Yes. I cover events, live music, private gatherings, and special activations. My approach is discreet, natural, and designed to capture the energy of the evening without intruding on the guest experience.

Can you create photography packages for my business?

Absolutely. I offer custom packages depending on your needs — whether it’s a website refresh, a catalog of product shots, lifestyle imagery for social media, or ongoing event coverage. Packages can be tailored to monthly, quarterly, or one-time shoots.

Do you travel for shoots?

Yes, I’m based in Austin, Texas but I regularly travel across Central Texas, Hill Country, and beyond for projects. Travel fees vary depending on distance and scope of the shoot.

What is your turnaround time for photos?

Typically, you’ll receive a fully edited gallery within 7–10 business days after the shoot. Larger projects (like catalogs or multi-day shoots) may take longer, but I’ll always provide a clear timeline upfront.

How are photos delivered?

You’ll receive an online gallery with high-resolution images that you can download and use for web, social media, or print marketing. All shoots include full usage rights unless otherwise specified.

Do you work with models or styled shoots?

Yes — for clients like ranches, apparel brands, and wineries, I can coordinate styled lifestyle shoots with models. These sessions help create dynamic, story-driven content for marketing campaigns, catalogs, or brand launches.

How much does a shoot cost?

Rates vary depending on the type of shoot (real estate, hospitality, events, product, or catalog). I offer clear, upfront pricing for half-day and full-day packages, as well as smaller shoots for social media refreshes. Contact me for a custom proposal tailored to your project.
