By |April 14th, 2025|Austin, Commercial Photography, Event Photos|

When Kinaxis brought their North American team to the Fairmont Austin, they created more than an event—they built a full-scale brand experience. From candid team moments and custom activations (puppy lounge, anyone?) to a private concert with Nelly, I was there to capture it all with a focus on storytelling, not just documentation. The result? A gallery that helped their team connect, celebrate, and even pitch future sponsors with confidence. This is corporate event photography that actually works for your brand—during the event and long after the lights go down.

As usual, SXSW 2025 was a whirlwind of incredible moments, and I had the privilege of capturing them firsthand. From watching Sir Jude work her magic at the Central Presbyterian Church, to witnessing Sam Ryder’s explosive debut at the BME, it was a week full of surprises. I got to photograph artists whose music and energy left a lasting impression, including Bruvvy’s chaotic messy set and the powerful discussions at panels like Defying Invisibility with the lead actors from Hulu's new show Deli Boys. SXSW is always a unique experience, but this year felt particularly special, and I can’t wait to see where these artists go next.
