Capturing the Mementos of Time.

These are the keepsakes of our memories, the moments that we take time to witness and preserve life as best we can. These are the mementos gifted to us to remember those laughs, those hugs, those smiles.

At Thoughtful Memento Photography, I am enthusiastic about helping you capture these moments with you and yours.

The Process

I enjoy helping capture those thoughtful mementos in the various seasons of peoples lives. Here is my process in meeting, scheduling, and then us collaborating in person to capture those special keepsakes for your collection.

First, I would love to meet with you and yours to hear more of your ideas for your shoot, and what goals you have for our session. This is easily a phone call, or even an email. I like to get an idea of who you are so I may pick out some locations, suggest props to bring, pack some backup gear myself, and overall be as best prepared for your shoot as I can be.

Once we have a better idea of what you are looking for in your session, we schedule a time and place. My studio consists of the great natural outdoors or pockets of photogenic spots around town. A photoshoot session isn’t limited to a time, but to lighting. This could be from 45min to even an hour or a bit more. We will be working with the natural lighting so understandably punctuality is key!

After our shoot, I review what we created from our session, make the appropriate edits, ect. My goal is to have your photos back to you in 2 weeks or less. At this time I don’t guarantee how many photos you’ll receive, but we will have quite a few for you to be proud about.

Thoughtful Memento is in the blossoming phases. I’m starting with simple means, so please reach out via Email or Phone. You will be required to review and sign a contract, as well as review a consent of release form. As I build my portfolio it is important that I showcase my work, however you are able to opt-out of the consent form. Payments can be made via Cash, Venmo, or Credit Card.

I look forward to hearing for you!

I have lived in and around Austin, TX for about 25 years, though I’m a Dallas native. The effects of light and color have always fascinated me, so in my teens I purchased my first film camera and went traveling from there. I’ve picked up more digital cameras since, and continue to hone my craft and interest in the pathways it may take me. I currently live in Pflugerville with my husband and little dog.

Other interests- I also work in Massage Therapy, I enjoy the outdoors, and traveling. I also enjoy cooking, baking, gardening, crafts, and painting. I’m still trying to master watercolor but it is elusive. I dabble on the piano and fiddle with the guitar.
