TAustin Photography | Zach Frederick | Senior Photos | Mount Si High School

We know Zach from our gym and so we knew that he’s a big into riding…his dirt bike. So we knew we’d be getting some killer shots of him riding at some point throughout his session. So here are some of our favorites from Zach’s Senior Session.

John & Ally | Orange County | Laguna Beach, CA | Engagement | TAustin Photography

I’ve typed, deleted, and then re-typed this opening line too many times for this post. Mainly because I just don’t know where to start with John and Ally. These two were an absolute blast to work with and a photographers dream. Ally even brought along bottled water and snacks to sip and nibble on throughout…

TAustin Photography || Ben + Christina || The Skansonia || Seattle, WA

Let me just say, and I know Christina has heard this before, but Rachael and I can’t begin to express how excited we were when Ben and Christina asked us to be their wedding photographers. You see, Christina and her best friend Ashley, are actually wedding coordinators and event planners. They own and operate “It’s…

TAustin Photography || Newborn Video || Ryan Shawn Chamberlain || Tucson, AZ

A few weeks ago I had the absolute privilege AND pleasure to fly down to Tucson, AZ to shoot Ryan Shawn Chamberlain’s newborn photos for Steven and Cynthia Chamberlain.

Tyler and I could not have been more thrilled about having the opportunity to have shot Justin & Cortney’s wedding!

And when Tyler noticed Lori’s email, I saw a weird…

TAustin Photography || Alex + Mallorie || Sun Mountain Lodge || Winthrop, WA

If you travel 190 miles SE of Seattle, WA you’ll come across the “old western” town of Winthrop. Nestled in the Methow Valley, Winthrop is a must see place to visit along the very scenic North Cascades Highway. But an even more amazing sight to see is the exquisite Sun Mountain Lodge which overlooks this old…

TAustin Photography || Tony + Amanda || Lakeside Gardens || Portland, OR

“…Any time a friend puts all of their trust into us to capture one of the most important days of their lives, we are extremely humbled. And this is just want Tony & Amanda did.” I first met Tony & Amanda back in college at Eastern Washington University (GO EAGLES!) Tony and I played countless hours…

TAustin Photography || Matt + Betsy || Garden of The Gods Club || Colorado Springs, CO

Breathtaking views, torrential down pour with penny sized hail, 90+ degrees, deer on the back patio, camels kissing on top of the mountains, and one epic dance party….That would be the Johnson Wedding :) Rachael and I originally met these two love birds when they hired us just for their engagement photos. A few weeks after their…

Austin Breneman || Senior Photos || TAustin Photography || Rattlesnake Lake North Bend, WA

Rachael and I had a great time shooting Austin’s Senior Photos this last weekend. Especially me. And I’ll tell you why. First off, for those of you who don’t know, Rachael and I are both very involved with CrossFit. I also train part time at our gym as one of the Strength & Conditioning coaches….

TAustin Photography || Maternity Portraits || Expecting Gavin Lewis

Here is a session from last year that we weren’t able to post because of some technical issues. But nonetheless here are some of our favorites from Amanda’s Maternity Portraits taken right here at  TAustin Photography’s photo park.    

TAustin Photography || Welcome Colbin Dean Schweitzer || Maternity and Infants

We love being able to capture those special times during those nine months of pregnancy. But we especially enjoy being able to photograph the little ones after they are born. And this time we were able to do that for Aleshia her beautiful little boy Colbin! Here are some of our favorites from the maternity…

TAustin Photography || Justin & Erin || Engagements || Seattle, WA

We spent a wonderful sunny day with Justin and Erin all over the Seattle area including Safeco Field, the EMP under the Space Needle, Kerry Park and Gas Works Park. We had such a great time with these two as both of them are so relaxed and fun to be around. Their wedding is going…

TAustin Photography || Ben & Christina || Engagements || Kirkland, WA

Ben and Christina… The type of couple that every portrait photographer always hopes to be able to photograph. Especially when you get to capture their wedding. These two are the type of couple who “think” that they are not photogenic, or “think” that they get nervous in front of a camera. But the truth is, they are the couple that just naturally fall into the perfect pose every you even think about pressing the shutter on the camera. But the key to there “perfect-ness”…is each other. There might be a possibility that they would be a tad bit more nervous if it was just them by their self in the photo, but once they hold each others hand, or start to kiss each other, everything around them just seems to disappear. And that is when you get the most intimate, candid, and romantic shots. Which is what I always look for when photographing a couple. some people like to call it…TRUE LOVE

TAustin Photography || Jason + Karly || Weddings || Bellevue, WA

You hear people say a beautiful bride on her wedding day will turn any dark room into a vibrant and sparkling scene. You also hear that a woman will glow with a special and radiant beauty when she is pregnant. Well if you take both of those and put them together….you will have Karly. Which in turn will give you a very proud and lively groom. And on this day, that lucky man happened to be Jason Fisher.

Jason and Karly’s wedding was anything but ordinary. However, it had more love and happiness then almost any other I’ve been to. If I could use one word to describe what their wedding was centered around, it couldn’t be anything other then family. Everybody who was there could feel the connections and bonds they had with each other. And as Jason and Karly exchanged their vows, many looked on, not only from the seats around them, but also from the heavens above.

I feel so privileged anytime I’m able to be apart of and capture a ceremony and night like this. Because afterwards, I always have a sense of thankfulness that fills me. Thank you so much Jason and Karly, and may you have a very happy life of marriage and parenthood.

TAustin Photography || Expecting Khloe Brantner || Maternity Photos

We were so happy to be able to capture this very special time for Kristen and Justin Brantner. They are expecting their second child, Khloe Brantner and wanted to be able to capture Kristen’s pregnancy is a very special, fun, and beautiful way. Which wasn’t a challenge at all being Kristen could easily win the next season of ANTPM (America’s Next Top Pregnant Model) They also had Kylee, their first born and very cute little girl with them which brought a whole new aspect to their session and also made it so much more fun. Here are some of our favorites followed by their video at the end! Congratulations you two and we can’t wait to photograph Khloe when she is born!

TAustin Photography || Trang Ha || Woodinville High School || Senior Photos

When we first talked to Trang over the phone, she said that the one thing she wanted out of her senior photos, was to have something different. So after a few suggestions we decided to shoot her senior pictures out at Alki Beach in Seattle, WA. We actually ended up in quite a few different locations around Alki Beach which made picking out our favorites almost as hard as trying to find a parking space on Alki Drive. There were so many to choose from but at the end of the day, here were some of our favorites.

TAustin Photography || Maddie Starnes || Eastlake High School || Senior Photos

We met up with Maddie for a perfect sunny evening out at Beaver Lake to get her Senior Pictures shot. Despite being a little nervous, Maddie is one of those girls who you just want to keep taking pictures of because they just keep getting better and better. She had the perfect smile on her face the entire time which made the entire session so much fun . Maddie runs Cross Country, Track and plays soccer. But when we asked her what she likes best about all of those she said, “It’s definitely not all the running… It’s all my friends.” All in all, we had a great time meeting Maddie and we are so thrilled with how her photos turned out!

TAustin Photography || Steven + Cynthia || Weddings || Bellevue, WA

The forecast called for rain and even created some early morning puddles. But it soon became sunny, warm, and beautiful. The bride was running behind getting to the church, but showed up stunning and glowing.  As she was helped into her elegant and glamorous Demetrio’s dress, the guests were ushered into their seats, and the…

TAustin Photography || Senior Photos || Sean Norgard || Auburn Riverside Senior High School
