Living in this beautiful city has allowed me to meet so many people and when we first moved to Austin I was on the hunt for an amazing photographer to capture our new journey. Austin has so many great photographers and I have to admit that it was a bit overwhelming trying to find a photographer to work with. I worked with a couple of photographers before I found a photographer who has worked wonders for our growing family.
This guide highlights Austin Area Photographers who we hope will bring the same joy and adventure to your photography needs. From intimate family photos, seasonal minis, fall family photo session and weddings.
Sweetleigh Photography: Erin Arnold
Erin is an Austin Area Photographer who is a natural light photographer. Erin prefers to shoot sessions outside and has so many great locations ideas with specialization in families, children, newborn, senior pictures and small intimate wedding. I have personally worked with Erin for years and she is amazing. She has captured so many great pictures of our family and the best part is she works great with our furry family member Oakley (pictured below).

“Erin is so wonderful to work with! I asked her to take pictures of my dogs, which was not an easy task. She was so patient with them and willing to work with whatever ideas I wanted which was awesome. When they didn’t listen instead of redirecting them she just went with the flow and followed them- it was so natural.” ~Heather S.
Sana Ahmed Photography

“Working with Sana for my Maternity Photos and my baby girl’s Newborn Photos was amazing. She has a very calm nature to her that I love when it comes to photography. It allows my “awkward” family to relax so we can get good photos. Loved my maternity images and the newborn photos in the studio were great! She allowed us ample time to get my very fussy baby to cooperate. She was even able to work her magic to get my little girl to sleep for the shoot. I love the fact that she focus on everything being naturally “posed.” The best part, I didn’t have to think about what to wear! Her wardrobe was ample, beautiful and allowed for many types of bodies and sizes! Thank you Sana. We look forward to using your services again in the future!” – Lauren
