FOCAL POINT PHOTOGRAPHICS bio picture

Welcome to my Blog!

Thank you for visiting my blog!  Here you will find a collection of my recent work and specials.  Check back often...it's always changing!

Focal Point Photographics began in 2001 when I shot my first wedding.  Since then, my company has grown to be a full circle portrait studio shooting weddings, babies, children, family, high school seniors and weddings again.  I love it all!  I believe everyone should have a beautiful family history recorded in photographs and I love helping to tell the stories.

I met the love of my life, Blake, on a photo shoot as luck would have it and we were married in 2005.  We had our first Angel Baby in November 2006 and our second Angel Baby in August 2008.  They are my 3 cheerleaders and biggest fans.


{Pretty in Pink}- Round Rock/ Austin Baby Photographer

The S Family made a trip to Austin from H-town to celebrate Miss O turning 6 months.  What a Doll Baby!  She is so precious and I feel honored to capture this milestone in her life.  There were so many adorable ones, that we ended up designing an album for their session…but here are a few highlight photographs.  The first one is photographer favorite…

{Baby Blue…}- Austin Newborn Baby Photographer

What a precious little baby Triston is!  He was the perfect little subject for his newborn shoot…combine just the right amount of awake and asleep time.  You just never know what you will get with babies.

It was so hard to pick which one to do for the wall piece with this one…so many great options!  We finally decided on the one in Daddy’s hand.  Good choice, Shannon!

{Four Men and a Lady}- Round Rock Family Photographer

The Esquell Family came in for their family portrait last month.  What a sweet family!  I always say, as a photographer, I justify not going to the gym because I chase kids and brides around all day.  These guys kept me hopin’…they are full of energy!  But all three boys are such gentlemen.  Thanks for a great shoot!

{Baby it’s COLD Outside…}- Round Rock/ Austin Childrens Photographer

I love cold weather.  Maybe because in Texas it is hot 80% of the time. This was one of those cold days, and this little cutie was so fun to work with!  Despite the fact it was FREEZING outside, he was happy and cooperative!  What more could a photographer ask for?  My fingers were almost too cold to operate my camera, but I can’t resist adorable children in cute hats:)  What a fun session!

{Lauren & Jeff’s Wedding}- Austin Wedding Photographer

Lauren and Jeff had  a beautiful wedding at Tarrytown Methodist Church with the reception following at the Stephen F. Austin Hotel.  I loved the details and special touches they added to their wedding to make it their own.  Since both do triathlons, each table at the reception was named for a different race they had done.  Their centerpieces were elegant tulips in bright orange and yellows.  One of my favorite touches was the dessert bar they brought out late in the night for guest to feast upon (both the bride and groom have a bit of a sweet tooth!).  It was an honor to be their photographer and capture the memories of their special day.
