Goudeau Photography bio picture

Welcome!

Thank you for visiting my photography blog!

I'm an Austin-based, natural light photographer and I specialize in kids, senior, engagement and family portrait photography. I have always had an itch to be creative. I love what I do because it not only enables me to pursue one of my passions, but it also allows me to meet great people along the way. 

I am married to my beautiful and loving wife Cari, and without her support, none of this would be possible. Together, we are proud owners of an incredibly entertaining miniature schnauzer, Bailey. We look forward to hearing from you and getting to know you better!

Best Regards,

Joel Goudeau

Rebekah and Bransen’s Big Day! {Austin Wedding Photographer}

Rebekah and Bransen got married on July 25th. It was an honor to be asked to photograph their wedding! The church was filled with so many people who love them, and it was awesome to see these two tie the knot and begin their lives together. It turned out to be a beautiful day, and I stole a few minutes with them outside after the ceremony to capture some shots of them together.

Congratulations, Rebekah and Bransen! We wish you many happy years together.

Aurora’s Musical Debut {Austin Portrait Photographer}

We were over at our friends Andrew and Elanor’s house the other night having dinner, and decided after the meal to step outside and shoot some impromptu pictures of their cute little girl, Rori. Elanor and Cari are working on a project and needed some instrument photos (Andrew is a band director, so there is an abundance of instruments in their home), but Rori is so photogenic that it quickly turned into a full out photo session.

From the photos, it looks like Aurora definitely caught Andrew and Elanor’s musical genes!

Gabriella’s First Portraits {Austin Portrait Photographer}

My brother Jonathan’s new baby girl was born in March, and they wanted to have some family photos taken. Gabriella is a cute, expressive baby and it was fun to capture her personality in these photos. She’s already starting to favor her big sister, Simone.

We traveled to a park near their house to take some pictures. I was able to get some family shots, as well as some great photos of Simone and Gabriella. I enjoy capturing children’s expressions through photography, because they can change so much from one photo to the next.

Here are some of my favorite photos from our session:
