Like A Bird Photography & Design bio picture

Welcome!

My goal here at Like A Bird Photography & Design is to give you that ONE IMAGE, you know the one..... The image that takes you back to the happiest day of your life, or that takes you back to that moment where you were laughing so hard you were crying, the moment that makes you cry tears of joy. Those are the moments in life that should forever be remembered. My style is fun, real and relaxed. These are photos that you will pass on through generations so why not make them GREAT.

On a more personal note, first and foremost I am a mommy to the most wonderful little girl Ava Michelle and a wife to the best hubby. I found myself with a camera in my hand at all times when my daughter was born. I always loved the art of photography but didn't harness my passion for it till 2007. My favorite part? Delivering those images to the customer and seeing their reactions. I love it when I hear "Oh my, that is sooooo her." or "You captured his smile PERFECTLY." That is what makes all the late night editing and HOT summer shoots worth it.

Jennifer promotional headshots {Austin TX portrait photographer/marketing photographer}

Meet Jen! Had a promo shoot with her yesterday afternoon. Actually this was our second session. The first was GREAT as well, except my hard drive and computer totally freaked on me deleting all of my images! GOOD GAWD! I wanted to pass out and cry at the same time. Good thing she was up for a second go-round.

Makeup was provided by Liz with Twenty Coats. You can visit her here!

This is her…… {Austin TX/Central TX childrens photographer}

Yep, this is my Ava! I look through photos that I have of her, and ones like these really stand out to me. Why? Because “this is her…….”

She is the first one to look down, the first to shy away and the first to take off running when the camera comes out. So yes, photos like this speak to me because they are the real her.
