Outdoor Portraits in Austin, TX

Need a great photo for your social media, website, or just for yourself? My lifestyle headshots are relaxed, fun, and shot in natural light — usually outdoors, where you can feel comfortable just being you. We’ll walk, chat, laugh, and capture portraits that feel real and look amazing.

What to Expect

These sessions are all about capturing you, not some stiff version of you. We’ll meet at a beautiful location in Austin, take a short walk, and shoot as we go. You’ll get easy direction when needed — and plenty of natural, spontaneous shots.

We wanted to have a single family photo for our anniversary and birthday celebration as we didn’t have any pictures of our entire family that looked very nice. Vlad not only delivered a nice family photo he created many precious photos of our kids and family moments that we had to buy the whole album because we loved them all so much. He got each of our kids personalities in the photos and created something truly magical in the photos. Please PLEASE consider using him because he was so professional, sweet, punctual, and delivers photos that really create something magical. Plus the photo pricing was something amazing for the quality of work he provides and amount you get for both individual and whole package!

He gave us direction and suggestions. Loved that the pictures were not just focused on the background but gave us some amazing portrait pictures we hung at home and shared with our family as well. We greatly recommend him and will hire him again!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I found Vlad through Fb, and I am glad I did. I have two little boys, 2.5 year old and 11 month old. He did the photos for our family, and we got such beautiful candid photos. He is really good with kids as my elder one is very naughty, but still we got really amazing photographs. I feel he is truly the best, and I will contact him for all the events in the near future.

Vlad made it easy to schedule, suggested a location that perfectly captured the spirit of what I needed, and was incredibly detail-oriented throughout the session. My 15 year-old daughter who was sitting next to me as I looked through the gallery absolutely loved them as well. As you might imagine, impressing a teenager who is on social media is not easy! If you are looking for efficiency, professionalism, and soft, natural photos that capture the essence of you, no matter what the occasion, Vlad is your photographer.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing photos and amazing experience! Extremely communicative with fast responses. When I sent a message on the website to request an appointment, I got such a quick response that I initially thought it must be an auto-reply! But it was a personalized message written by him
He really knows how to work with young kids. He photographed my family of 4 which included a 2 year old and a 5 month old who were obviously difficult to wrangle. My 2 year old kept wanting to hold her doll and I was trying to take it from her so we could start the shoot, but he said he could work with the doll! And indeed he did! The photos with the doll are extra cute! Sign of a true professional to work with unexpected situations and turn it into something that looked planned!
He gave great instructions and we got amazing photos. He brought a bubble wand and picnic blanket, which made for some really fantastic shots!
He let us take extra time whenever the kids needed a break, and we got a lot of extra time tacked on to the end that we hadn’t even paid for.
Crazy story - he discovered he had a flat tire when we were done and trying to leave the parking lot. It was relatively late in the evening. We had paid for same-day sneak peaks where he sends some edited photos the day of, but when I saw his tire, i told him that he didn’t need to worry about giving them to me that day. And yet he still sent them that same night!
