12 Family Photos of Love from an Austin Photographer

Valentine’s Day, a holiday of uncertain origins, has been a celebration of love and romance since the Middle Ages. As an Austin photographer, I have photographed hundreds of moments of love over the past 15 years, from parents enamored with their newborn baby, brothers and sisters showing affection and care towards each other, parents playing and laughing with their kids, and children snuggling with their beloved pets. Life is full of love and joy and I adore photographing those moments for families! On this Valentine’s Day, I thought I would share a compilation of portraits that show love amongst family.
