About Justin
I believe every person
deserves to be seen
Hi, I'm Justin. I'm a photographer based in Austin, Texas, but more importantly, I'm a person who believes that your "quirks" are actually your superpowers.
I started this journey as a gay-owned business with one core conviction: every person—regardless of your background, size, color, religion, or identity—deserves to feel like a masterpiece.
I get it. As someone who has navigated the world in a larger body, I know exactly what it feels like to want to hide from the lens because you don't love what you see in the mirror. I know the vulnerability it takes to stand there and say, "This is me." That's why I've dedicated my life to being the guy who cheers you on when you're feeling shy. When you step into a session with me, we start simple—a glass of water, a few bad jokes to get you smiling, and a space that is strictly judgment-free.
My Mission
My goal isn't just to take "pretty" pictures. I'm looking for that specific moment where your posture shifts, your guard drops, and you finally allow yourself to be seen. I want to help you move to that place where you feel comfortable, alive, and radiant.
I want to help you see the love within yourself so that you can finally come out of hiding, burst open the closet door, and shine your light on the world.
My Inspiration
When I'm not behind the camera, you'll usually find me traveling. I have a deep passion for seeing the glorious ways people interact with life—through culture, food, music, and art. I'm endlessly fascinated by how we all express ourselves in our own unique, loving ways, and I bring that global sense of wonder back to every shoot I do.
Whether we are doing an intimate one-on-one session or a massive family event, I will meet you exactly where you are. Let's celebrate all the pieces that make you unique.
Work With JustinPortfolio
Every story. Every body. Every soul.
A safe space for everyone
As an LGBTQIA+ owned business, I'm committed to creating photography experiences where everyone feels celebrated, respected, and authentically seen. Every session is judgment-free, affirming, and tailored to honor who you are — regardless of your background, size, color, race, religion, or identity.
"All couples, all families, all identities, all bodies — you're welcome here."

FAQ
Common questions
I recommend booking at least 2–4 weeks in advance for most sessions. For events, engagements, and peak seasons (spring and fall), 4–8 weeks is ideal. That said, if you have a last-minute need, reach out — I'll always do my best to make it work.
As a gay-owned business, inclusion isn't a buzzword — it's the foundation of everything I do. My sessions are designed so you feel completely free to be yourself. I'll never direct you in a way that doesn't feel authentic to who you are. I actively work to create a warm, affirming, judgment-free environment where your comfort comes first. All identities, all bodies, all love — always welcome.
I'm based in Austin, Texas and serve the greater Austin metro area. I'm happy to travel throughout Central Texas — Round Rock, Cedar Park, Pflugerville, Buda, Kyle, San Marcos, Georgetown, and surrounding areas. For destinations farther out, travel fees may apply. Let me know where you're thinking and we'll make it happen.
Most sessions are delivered via a private online gallery within 48–72 hours. Large events may take up to 5 business days. Rush delivery is available — just ask when booking. Your gallery will be available for download and sharing, with full print release included.
Every session includes my full attention and creative direction, all edited photos as listed in your package, a private online gallery, high-resolution digital files, and a full print release so you can print your images anywhere. I do not charge for retouching — all delivered photos are professionally edited.
This is one of my favorite things to hear — it means I have the opportunity to change how you see yourself. Nervousness is completely normal and I work with it, not against it. I'll guide you through natural poses, keep the mood light and easy, and create a space where you forget there's a camera. My clients regularly tell me their session was the most comfortable they've ever felt in front of a lens.
Absolutely — I have a deep respect for organizations doing meaningful work in the world, and I believe great photography shouldn't be out of reach because of a tight budget. If you represent a non-profit and are in need of photography services, reach out and let's have a conversation. I'm always open to finding something that works for both of us. Get in touch and let's see what we can work out.
In today's economy and current market, I absolutely understand the value of creative collaboration over traditional transactions. If you have a product or service you believe would be a genuine mutual match, I'm open to the conversation. Whether it's goods, services, or a creative exchange that benefits us both — let's talk. Reach out and tell me what you have in mind, and we'll see what we can work out together.
