Photographing a Surprise Proposal


It's always an honor when friends approach you to document special moments in their lives. I had the sweetest time working together with Isaac to plan something special for Payton, who is a dear childhood friend of mine.


Thank you to Danny at The Hummingbird House, in South Austin, for helping to make this magical day possible.
