East Texas Portrait Photography

Life is busy, and somehow, photos keep getting pushed aside.

You’ve meant to book a session, but between work, life, and never-ending-to-dos, it never feels like the right time. You want beautiful, meaningful portraits, but the thought of planning it feels overwhelming…what to wear, how to pose, if it’ll even feel natural.

But what if your portraits could feel effortless?

Imagine a session where you don’t have to overthink a thing. No stiff poses, no awkward moments…just you, feeling comfortable and present. A chance to slow down, take it all in, and have images that capture you as you are, right now.

Let’s create something that feels like you.

Your story is worth documenting…not later, not someday, but now. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone or simply want to see yourself in a new way, I’m here to make sure it’s captured honestly and beautifully.

Serving East Texas & beyond.

I believe in creating images that feel like a memory, honest, emotive, and timeless.

Artistic & Editorial Portraits

More than just photos, these portraits are crafted like a story – thoughtful, cinematic, and uniquely you. Whether for personal branding, creative projects, or just a session for yourself, these images capture who you are, not just how you look. No stiff poses, no awkward moments – just an experience that feels natural, effortless, and artistic.

Best for creatives, professionals, and anyone wanting a portrait that feels like art.

Lifestyle & Storytelling Portraits

This session is for those who want portraits that feel real – candid, unposed, and full of emotion. Whether it’s a solo session, couples shoot, or a moment with family, this is about capturing the laugher, the quiet pauses, and everything in between. You don’t have to worry about posing – i’ll guide you to moments that fee completely you.

Perfect for couples, families, and anyone who wants their story told through movement and connection.

35mm Film Photography Add-On

For those who love the raw, nostalgic beauty of film, you can add 35mm film photography to any session. Film captures something digital can’t – the grain, the depth, the way light dances across the frame. Your session will include a mix of film and digital images, blending the best of both worlds for a truly timeless feel.

Available as an add-on to any portrait session for those who love the artistry of film

Love Letters….

“10/10 best photographer in East Texas.

She took the time out of her day to get to know us prior to our session. She got every shot we were asking for plus some. She had tons of patience and worked great with our two year old. These pictures we will cherish forever. We would recommend her to everyone we know.

“Annie was a joy to work with.

I had family members who were nervous about being in front of the camera and/or nervous about their English. Annie was able to make everyone comfortable and shot the best pictures while doing so. I could not have asked for a better person to be with me as I prepared for my wedding and to be with me on my wedding day. Additionally, her pictures are truly a work of art. I would recommend Annie to anyone and everyone!

“Five stars is not nearly enough to accurately represent how much we loved working with Annie Austin.!!!!!

Our wedding was beautiful and perfect, and of course, I adore my husband. Still, my running joke is that I wish I could get married over and over just for the chance to work with Annie again. She was unbelievably professional while also bringing a relaxed, friendly energy—like having an extra friend there to help throughout the day. On top of that, we received WAY more photos than expected, and every single one was stunning. From start to finish, working with Annie was an absolute dream, and we can’t wait for another opportunity to do it again!

You should wear outfits that make you feel comfortable and reflect your family’s personality. Coordinating colors without matching exactly works best. Avoid busy patterns or logos with some exceptions. Really just stay true to you.
