Our beautiful bride Candice and her handsome groom Ryan got married in a tiny church in East Austin.

Music Photography | Blind Pilot & Dan Mangan at The Parish

Chris Michael — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 22:12:32 +0000

We love living in Austin. Live music is our favorite part of this incredible city so when KUT announced that one of our favorite bands, Blind Pilot was coming to play in Austin and we knew we had to be there! Dan Mangan opened for Blind Pilot and honestly we had no idea who he was. Now, that we've been let in on the secret (and have Blind Pilot to thank for it) we feel much more "with it" and hope we weren't the last to find out about this stellar musician. The house was packed and the energy was high with all of our anticipation. Instruments lined the stage, some we'd never seen before. Finally they took the stage. We sang. We danced. The photographer did what he does best.

Free Austin | Musicians Sing Out Against Human Trafficking

Chris Michael — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 22:52:22 +0000

Free Austin is an initiative to end human trafficking put together by ALLIES against slavery in partnership with other local anti-trafficking organizations and community members. During the month of September, events all over Austin served to educate and empower the community about human trafficking in the United States. Being the event photographer for Free Austin this year was a privilege. We wrapped up the week with Sounds of Change at The Parish. The Musicians all volunteered their time and energy to Free Austin and the proceeds for the night were given to care for survivors of trafficking in Austin. If you don't already know who these Austin Musicians are, check them out.

Newborn Photography | Baby Georgia

It is rejuvenating to see parents who are so in love with their newborn children. I had a friend describe it as "that simple love, when your child can do no wrong." I think of the movie Bambi and the word "twitterpated." Georgia's parents are undeniably twitterpated. Watching them, was almost a cute as watching her. Almost.

Day After | Anna & James

This Day After session with James and Anna was so great. Morning light is amazing, maybe I should shoot everything this early. The bridge was their idea, and it was perfect. Old dirt roads, cornfields; everything about this session seemed to work. Mix in two love birds, and you have the perfect day. Thanks J&A, you guys rock.
