Austin Family Photographer
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.

What Clients Are Saying
“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!”

“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!!”

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do family photos cost in Austin?
Family sessions start at $500 for a one-hour shoot, which includes professionally edited digital images with download and print rights. Milestone celebrations like bar mitzvahs and quinceañeras are quoted per event, since coverage depends on the day.
Should I tip my family photographer?
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.
Where should we get family photos taken in Austin?
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.
What should we wear for family photos?
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.
