Families and celebrations
Real families, real celebrations, real joy

Looking for an Austin family photographer who keeps the whole thing loose? I shoot real families the way they actually are: kids climbing on parents, nobody holding a fake smile. I photograph family sessions and milestone celebrations like bar mitzvahs, quinceañeras, and graduations, with no forced smiles or matching khakis required. Whether we're capturing the beautiful mess of everyday family life or marking major moments, we'll make it feel more like play than posing and capture the real you. Peek at recent family sessions or check family pricing when you're ready to pick a date.
Family sessions: 1-2 hours at location of choice
Celebrations: Custom event coverage packages
Guidance on what to wear (not matching, promise)
Mix of posed & candid moments
Professional editing & color grading

“Keira is a talented photographer and wonderful to work with. Our photos turned out perfectly. These are definitely frame-worthy and/or Christmas card-worthy! Thank you!”

January 2020“Keira has taken our annual Christmas card photo for the past few years. She always knocks it out of the park -- the captures she's gotten are definitely our favorite cards to date. She's super professional, extremely on top of her lighting game, and really down for nontraditional ideas. You should work with her!!”

Current family and celebration collections are Me & My Fam ($500), The Whole Crew ($750–$1,500), Celebrations (Starting at $750). Each collection lists its coverage and gallery deliverables.
Tipping isn't expected, and my pricing already covers the session and the editing. If you loved the photos, a Google review or sending a friend my way means more to me than a tip ever could.
It depends on your family's vibe. I love Zilker Park, Mount Bonnell, Mueller Lake Park, and the Barton Creek Greenbelt, and the hour before sunset gives the softest light. If your kids are happiest at home, we can shoot there instead.
Coordinate instead of matching: soft, neutral tones, a few layers and textures, and no giant logos. What matters is that everyone feels like themselves, so nobody spends the session tugging at a stiff collar.
Let's create photos that celebrate the beautiful chaos.
