The Austin Family Photographer
For Extraordinary People
Your life is unique
juicy, messy, exhilarating, chaotic, deafening, intimate, joyous, absurd, boring, connected, quiet, magical
Your photos should be too
Hey, I’m Deborah.
I’m a 5 foot tall ninja with a camera and an accent, mama to a spicy little one, and an award winning documentary family photographer. I make art from people’s ordinary lives.
My mission is to leave parents and kids feeling seen and loved for exactly who they are and to capture the important details that make your life YOUR LIFE.
I am pro - all ethnicities, pronouns, neuro-divergences and abilities. Whoever you are, your family is extraordinary, and I would be honored to document your lives together.
I photograph Day In The Life sessions all year round here in Austin, Tx, or anywhere that you’d like to travel me to.
“It is easy to focus on the chaos of life, but wow there are so many tiny beautiful moments sprinkled in, between! And Deborah was able to capture those. She will help you see the beauty in yourself and the moments you often overlook.”
— Kendall, Slice of Life Session
This is not a portrait session
Documentary family photography is a journalistic take on the family photo shoot. It is entirely unposed and undirected. I capture candid moments of connection and relationships in your family as you go about your day to day life together.
Think of me as your warm, fun and entirely non-judgemental friend, come to hang out for a bit.
What is a memory worth?
As you become more distant from this moment, what are the things you don’t want to forget? As your family photographer, I want to suspend in time the tiny details and deeper stories that are woven into the fabric of your life.
But capturing these stories is not the final goal. I want you to experience these memories as small interruptions of joy in your daily life.
My Day in the Life sessions are perfectly paired with heirloom albums and fine art prints to make your story visible and tangible and to preserve it for your extraordinary lifetime and beyond.
