I recently had the absolute pleasure of capturing Candice’s 30th birthday bash at the Tiger Den in Austin. The theme was “Death to my 20s,” and everyone showed up dressed to the nines in all black, giving off some seriously chic funeral vibes. It was an evening full of laughter, memories, and a touch of playful mourning for the end of a decade. Seeing everyone embrace the theme with such creativity and enthusiasm made for some fantastic, moody, and fun photos. It was one of those shoots that remind me why I love what I do so much.

At The Vinyl Lens, I'm all about bringing your vision to life with a personal touch. Don’t wait—let’s plan something amazing together!
