5 founding client spots

An award-winning Berlin portrait photographer just moved to Austin.

8 years, 400+ sessions, three European portrait awards — and not a single TX review yet. So the first 5 local clients get my founding rate, about 25% off, in exchange for an honest review.

The work speaks first

Warm, documentary, natural light. You move and talk; I shoot around it. These are from sessions in Berlin and across Europe — the Austin portfolio starts with you.

Why hire someone with no local reviews?

Fair question, and I would ask it too. Here is the straight answer: I am not new to this work, I am new to this city. Everything I built over 8 years in Berlin moved here with me — the eye, the process, the reliability. The reviews just have not caught up yet.

  • Experience transfers. Reviews don't.

    400+ delivered sessions, three European portrait awards, and clients who booked me a second and third time. A Austin photographer with 12 reviews may have shot a fraction of that.

  • You see the work before you pay a cent.

    My whole portfolio is above. Judge the photographs, not the star count — the photographs are the thing you are actually buying.

  • A 7-day guarantee, in writing.

    Your full gallery lands within 7 days of the session. If I miss that window, the session is free. That is how confident I am in the process.

  • You get founding pricing for being early.

    Being one of the first five carries a small risk, so it should carry a real discount. About 25% off, and the rate is locked for any session you book in your first year.

The Founding Client offer

The first 5 sessions booked in Austin get founding pricing. In exchange I ask for two things: an honest Google review after you see your gallery, and permission to show a few images in my local portfolio. That is the entire deal.
