Here are some photos of the French Legation.. I took these while scouting locations for an upcoming photo shoot I have. It’s going to be grand. I’m pretty excited. Keep your eyes peeled.

Meet Trisha. She’s a dear friend of mine and is dating an even dearer (is that a word??) friend of mine. I met her last summer and she moved up to Austin about 7 months ago. She cracks me up and I can’t wait for her to turn 21 so she can come dancing with me all the time. After all, she’s a part in the USA.

Hello friends! Here’s part 2 of Paige & Adam’s sweet engagement session. If you missed part 1, go here. Anyway- for the second part of their session, Paige sent me this photo of Brad & Angelina as inspiration.

So I took them to Barton Springs Pool for their shoot (sans children) and I think we got some great photos! I hope you enjoy.

Meet Paige and Adam… Their very first date was at a Washateria so Paige thought it would be fun to do part of their engagement session there. I was totally down, especially because Texas summers are HOT! Be on the look out for Part 2 of their engagement session!

I’ve been contemplating if this is something I should simply Tweet about or if it was worth a blog.. But I decided why not be slightly obnoxious and proud of myself every so often, right?

Just wanted to share some of the blogs that Rachel & Andrew’s Wedding Faux-tography Session has been featured on. I feel incredibly honored to be on these blogs.. especially because Rachel & Andrew are so near and dear to my heart.

Love & Lavender: LOVE these ladies! Definitely check out their blog.

Austin Style Unveiled:I ADORE Heather from Style Unveiled.. Such a sweet lady. Austin recently got added to the select cities Style Unveiled features.. Check it out!

Forget Me Knot Weddings: -

The Knotty Bride:- This one is super cool because I was featured in the same post as one of my favorite wedding photographers Amelia Lyon.

Anyway- Thanks to all of the above blogs for being so kind and featuring my work!

I didn’t meet Kristin and Patrick until a few days before their wedding. David Ramirez had gone on tour and met them in Michigan last fall and showed them my photography. Kristin soon after had a dream that Patrick and she eloped to Austin (where they had never been) and that David sang at their ceremony and I photographed it. She proposed the idea to me and I fell in love with the idea. I actually got to help plan quite a bit of the wedding with Kristin which made it all the more exciting to photograph it. I suggested they get married at my favorite boutique hotel, Hotel Saint Cecilia. I even got to decorate a little bit. Kristin and Patrick- you were SUCH a joy to meet and photograph. I hope you love the photos as much as I do.

A few days before the ceremony, Kristin asked if I wanted to style it. So I grabbed a few things from my house and the thrift store, bought some flowers, and got to add some details. It was pretty exciting.

I love buttons.
Drawer pulls:

The ceremony was incredibly intimate with four close friends from Michigan.

After the ceremony, they had a lovely, low-key reception Hotel Saint Cecilia put together a wonderful bar and buffet area. The food was delish!

Kristin and Patrick- Thanks again for letting me be a part of your intimate day. It was so wonderful meeting both of you and your friends! All of you need to come back to Austin ASAP!

Hello friends!

I’m looking for someone fabulous to become a regular assistant and/or second shooter for Paige Newton Photography. I’ll need assistants at some portrait sessions (engagements, bands, senior portraits, families, personal projects, etc.) as well as a second shooter and/or assistant for weddings.

These needs can be filled by multiple people. I’m just looking to create a regular and consistent list of amazing and dependable people to have on hand for various jobs. I’m super chill and I want to work with people who are laid back as well but who also work hard and who LOVE PHOTOGRAPHY.

Please don’t contact me if you’re uptight, rude, snobby, a pain in the ass, or have a history of bailing on people last minute. I’d prefer to work with a student or young adult as my photography is geared toward people who are young and energetic. Your personal style also might be a factor- I’ve got a definite vision to my photography and I want to work with someone who shares it or at least understands it. We can discuss this more after you contact me.

REQUIREMENTS FOR SECOND SHOOTERS:
-Basic knowledge of camera (ISO, Aperture, Shutter speed, etc)
-Own your own SLR body & lenses (or have access to equipment)
-Have some experience second shooting at weddings
-Flexible schedule (I’ll tell you dates well in advance)
-Hard worker & good with direction

SECOND SHOOTER APPLICANTS:
-Please check out my website to see if we have somewhat similar styles- I usually shoot with a vintage yet modern style (www.paigenewtonphotography.com).
-Shoot me an email with a link to your portfolio, contact info, resume, list of equipment, and minimum pay

ASSISTANT REQUIREMENTS:
-Ability to carry a bunch of crap without dropping it.
-Flexible schedule
-Hard worker & good with direction

ASSISTANT APPLICANTS:
-Shoot me an email with your resume and any assistant experience you can tell me about

COMPENSATION:
Pay depends on the job (wedding vs. portrait session, second shooter vs. assistant) as well as your experience. I also can offer internship credit to photography students.

Look forward to hearing from you!

Cheers,

Paige
