About Us

What can I say about us? Well, Carissa Hoopes Photography is a husband and wife team that has been photographing children and their families in the Buda and surrounding area for over 15 years. It is truly a family affair and we wouldn't have it any other way. In 2009 after several years of working on location we decided to build our 1200 square foot studio behind our house so that we could be closer to our kids while helping our clients document all the milestones in their lives. Our studio is complete with a wall of windows that let in beautiful natural light, an old Chicago-style brick wall, different colored walls, painted fences outside and all types of funky furniture and props to help give our clients different options for their sessions.

 While I am the photographer, Chris is what I like to call "the kid wrangler extraordinaire". He works with me to get all those genuine laughs and smiles that really show the true personality of your kids and he really is the best (I might be a little bit partial). He also handles our scheduling and office operations.

I am a natural light, lifestyle photographer. In other words, I pose and direct you, but the beauty is often in the in between moments. That's where we get "real life" moments, the moments that show the beauty of who you are right now, the shots that show the love and quirkiness of your family, the silliness of children, just you unscripted and real. I feel so lucky to have a job that lets me hold sweet newborns, play with children, hear seniors talk about their plans, and meet so many wonderful people in all stages of life.

When we're not working, we can be found spending time with our family and friends. We have 2 awesome kids ourselves, River (9th grade) and Bradli (5th) and they keep us on our toes and a community of friends that are like family. Whether we're at the baseball fields, a band event, a girl scout outing, at Carpenter Hill or at Dahlstrom (soon Johnson!), there's never a dull moment and we're trying to savor every minute of it because man it goes by fast. We would love to meet and talk to you, so don’t hesitate to give us a call. Thanks again for stopping by!

Carissa and Chris
