Austin Maternity & Newborn Photographers
Proudly serving clients in the greater Austin area since 2010
Eternal Forms Photography is owned and operated by Joseph and Michelle Kilgus, a husband and wife team (& parents of three) that specializes in maternity & newborn photography.
We are committed to helping mommies feel absolutely divine during their sessions & look like goddesses in their images. We are also committed to the safety & comfort for our tiniest newborn models.
Our style is artistic, clean and timeless. When composing our maternity images, we look for beautiful backgrounds and gorgeous lighting that will add depth and texture. While using the best of Mother Nature to enhance your photos, we always maintain our focus on you. We also use our editing skills to craft those raw photographs into the perfect, artful images that you and your family will adore. The result is a natural looking image showing you in your best light.
We approach our newborn clients in much the same way, choosing props and backgrounds that add to the image without losing our focus on your baby. With such adorable subjects, it’s hard not to melt parents’ hearts. :)
We were recognized in each year 2016-2023 among the Top 20 newborn photographers in Austin because we deliver consistently gorgeous images for our clients. We were one of three finalists for the 2017 Austin Birth Awards' Best Maternity Photographer. and one of five finalists for the 2020 Round The Rock Best Photographer in Round Rock award. We’re still one of the Austin area’s best kept secrets, and we’re fine with that!
We stand out from the crowd because we believe in giving our clients more without the additional hassle. We don’t do separate “ordering sessions”. We won't try to sell you on prints and wall art. There's no pressure at all in what we offer. We understand what our clients want, and we deliver:
1. Digital files are important to our clients, which is why we include high-resolution digital image files with print release in every session.
2. Our clients are social and love sharing online with family and friends. We include a complimentary web-resolution image file for every high-resolution image, which is perfect for sharing on Facebook or wherever you are! Get ready for those "Likes" to start rolling in!
3. Our clients want their images to look their best. We do, too. Over the course of 10 years, we've spent hundreds of hours learning how to capture beautiful images, and how to best use Photoshop to professionally retouch every single image we produce. We don't ever batch edit. We don't rely on automated actions, and we don’t outsource. We cull and hand-edit every image so that you have the very best piece of art we can produce, We have the education, skill and individual attention to detail that makes our work stand out above the rest. Our edits are clean and timeless and never overdone.
4. Our clients don't want a cookie cutter approach. Whatever your style, whatever your nursery decor and colors, we will work with you to select colors, fabrics and props that best suit your tastes. We will also incorporate props that you find particularly meaningful. Why let a photographer take a cookie cutter approach to your unique family's photos?
We also have access to professional labs for a variety of products you may want, but we won’t push any products on you. We leave that up to you, and access to our labs is just another way to add value to our relationship!
