Behind the camera…

Whimsy & Grace Photography was founded in a spare room in our Austin home in 2014, amongst scattered kids toys and games, an outlet for my imagination to take life.

As an introvert by nature, I have always enjoyed observing the unconscious moments between people when they are interacting and socializing with one another.

Realizing my ability to read people and to become part of the background, allows me to capture unique personality and tell their story in a single moment.

Ideally the finished piece of art is their treasured story, to hang on the walls for years to come, and to remember.

I also enjoy bringing a vision to life through the use of costuming, scenery, and subtle directing of my models. Most often the natural movements from my model come alive and take on a beautiful poetic story, but sometimes a little direction provides context when converting life into a 2-dimensional image. My work can be described as natural and impressionistic. My love for the art created during the impressionism through post-impressionism period has had a great influence on my work. Their use of visual space, depiction of natural lighting, and inclusion of movement immediately grabbed my attention.
