About Me

Hi, I’m Larissa, the photographer behind Capture Life Beautiful Photography; a New Braunfels photographer serving families throughout the Hill Country, San Antonio, San Marcos, and surrounding areas.

​

I’ve loved taking photos for as long as I can remember. (Ask my brothers and childhood friends about the “photoshoots” I staged with whatever film was left on my disposable camera after camp.) I’ve upgraded a little (okay a lot) since then, and formally opened my photography business in 2013. My desire to learn more about photography deepened when I became a mom and wanted to beautifully capture my own children’s childhood. Along the way, I discovered how incredibly rewarding it is to preserve those moments for other families too.

​

I love pouring through old family photos, asking about the people in them, and learning more of their stories. Photographs are such a powerful link to the past , to generations gone, and to fleeting moments in our own lives. They are some of my most prized possessions, and my heart is to help you create meaningful, beautiful memories that will be cherished for generations.

​

Outside of photography, I’m a lifelong learner. I attended Texas A&M University (Class of ’08 WHOOP!) where I earned a degree in Biology, and I currently work part-time as a Physical Therapist. That background shapes the way I photograph; from patience and attention to detail, to understanding movement, connection, and comfort during your session.

​

I’m deeply grateful for this life and for every day I get to be a wife to my husband and a mom to my children. Above all, I want my work and my days to give glory to the One who made it all. That is my why. I want to capture the beauty in your lives and praise the Maker through it.

​

As a New Braunfels photographer, I primarily serve families in New Braunfels, San Antonio, San Marcos, and throughout the Texas Hill Country. My style is natural, comfortable, expressive of your personality, and timeless. We can plan your session at a meaningful location, or I’m happy to suggest locations that fit your vision. Before your session, we’ll connect by phone or email to talk through your ideas, and your session includes a custom outfit guide tailored to your style as well as use of my client closet, and a free Santa session!

​

My goal is for you to feel relaxed, seen, and cared for, and to walk away with photographs that tell your story, beautifully.
