I’m Thao (pronounced “tao”), a lifestyle photographer based in Austin, Texas. My passion for photography extends beyond just capturing images; I strive to tell your unique story through candid, documentary-style photos that truly resonate. Whether it's a family gathering, an engagement, a maternity shoot, an elopement, or an intimate wedding, my focus is on real, raw moments that evoke genuine emotion.

In my work, I steer away from stiff poses and instead embrace the natural flow of life. I aim to create images that are not just seen, but felt—moments that you’ll cherish and connect with for years to come.

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll likely find me exploring the world, embracing the great outdoors with my family, staying active, or whipping up something delicious in the kitchen. I’m always inspired by new experiences and adventures, and I bring that same sense of excitement and passion into my photography.

Thank you for taking the time to learn a bit about me. I can’t wait to connect with you and start capturing the beautiful, candid moments of your life!
