Emily Hines

Oh, hey!

I’m Emily, the person behind the camera. I am so grateful you’re here and considering Captured Austin.

Let's see, I'm an Austinite of over two decades, west Texas native, Texas Longhorn, single mom of two humans, one semi-human dog, and one regular dog, introvert, coffee-obsessed lake rat.

I am, of course, OBSESSED with newborns and kids. This would be a poor career choice for me otherwise! But even more, I am in love with parents. I want to see you, right where you are- whether you’ve just brought home your first baby and you’re tired, in awe, and terrified, or whether your kids are all big and they’ve been through a million things I will never know and you’re tired, in awe, and terrified. The whole journey is beautiful to me.

I am passionate about empowering women, especially in parenthood and small business. I believe there is room for everyone, and abundance for us all. While I largely photograph families, I also love to help people further their brands and careers with headshots and brand photos.

Your family is art…

I know that every family is different. Every family has their own joys, and their own struggles. There is beauty to be found in every stage. My goal is to create a judgment-free, safe and fun environment so that you know that when you get in front of my camera, the beauty of your family will shine through. Your family is a work of art- I promise!

I would love to hear from you! Tell me what you’re looking for and let me answer all your questions.
