About Me!

Helloooo👋
My name is Kaiden, and I am a recent Texas State Alumni! I have been obsessed with content for pretty much my whole life. I literally started watching YouTube when I was 5 years old, and started making my own videos when I was just 11 years old. The videos at the beginning MAY have just been my phone propped up to record a T.V. of me playing Minecraft, but besides the point right?
YouTube is definitely only one of the things I am still obsessed with to this day. Some other random things include video games, R&B music, brainrot, FOOD, soccer, the gym, traveling, and uh late night drives? I’m 20 years old so don’t judge too hard🙏.
I recently started my photography journey in 2024. I really focus on capturing the pictures you want, with a no stress, relaxed, and fun vibe along the way. Read below for more of my story 🙂

My Story
I started doing photoshoots at the beginning of 2024 using my stuffed animal as a model 😅. He was a pretty good model, but I luckily was able to start doing photoshoots for some friends towards the end of 2024.
I already had advanced video skills from my 5+ years of video work, and since I was already connected through my major in college to a lot of photography classes and friends, I picked up photography fairly quickly. I was honestly doing photoshoots at first just to add more to my LinkedIn page, to show my veryy professional photoshoot skills (see the pictures below😭).
Everybody in my life knows I love computers, so everybody always wanted me to work in computers, work for companies like Google, those types of things. I was training myself to expect that once I graduated college, start the 2025 job search and be eating crumbs off the streets.. FORTUNATELY, after doing photoshoots for a couple of months, I found my real passion for photography.
I offered my first photoshoot completely free to a random Texas State student I met, Juju, who I am still so grateful trusted me with that to this day. The pressure was on at first because not only was it my first grad shoot, but her family was also there watching me 🙃. Regardless, I took my pictures that day, learned how to use Adobe Lightroom properly, and got them back to her. I think through this process, physically seeing a graduate’s family present and cheering their children/siblings/friends on, and finally seeing the graduate’s joy when I send back the final pictures is what made me so passionate about photography.
From there, I wrapped up 2025 by doing over 25 graduate photoshoots, photoshoots at UT and UTSA, and 40 photoshoots total. I think what sets me apart from other photographers is that I understand the exact position a lot of my clients are in. For graduates specifically, I know we have tens of thousands in tuition, we pay for housing, outfits, embroidered graduation fits, we even have to pay for our own pictures when we graduate from the school 💔. I make my packages and pricing affordable for the quality, I offer open availability, I work with graduates on pricing and I just try to make everybody feel as comfortable as possible. These are YOUR pictures, not mine, I’m just here to capture the moment for you 🙂
Below is a timeline of my photography journey so far (only viewable on desktop)! There is more photoshoots than this, but this is just to show my progression with my photos.
JULY 2024
First “Photoshoot”😅
This was my first photoshoot with my stuffed animal Po with the Austin skyline in the background.. which you can probably tell is the very start. The photos only got better from here though!
First Couple Shoot💕
Delaney was my first real photoshoot ever, and to make it even harder on myself I did night time flash photography as well. The colors are definitely a little weird, but I am very grateful they trusted me to take these pictures of them!

First Engagement!💍
I do not know how my quality got so much better in just a month, but this is still one of my favorite pictures to this day. I rented a lens just to guarantee an even better picture, and this was also my first photoshoot on my new Sony A6400 (I still use it to this day 📸). I was even hiding in some bushes to make sure the fiancée did not see me take the picture.
First Wedding Shoot👰
I also shot this client’s wedding later in the year! It was a more intimate wedding, so I do not want to share that many pictures, but I am still very proud of my work! For my first year, and really first three months and five photoshoots of professional photography, it turned out amazing, and the clients loved it 🙂

First Concert!🎵
Here is a picture from my first concert ever! I had the opportunity to shoot for HonkTX in Austin, and I decided to go by myself for the experience. I had an amazing time, captured good pictures, and met some really cool people. Overall, an amazing experience!
First Animal Shoot🌾
Thanks to the Central Texas Pig Rescue, I was able to take photos of all the different animals they rescue! I got this opportunity through my club at Texas State, Campus Creators, and even went back a second time in the future. I loved taking pictures of animals, and it led to me also shooting pets for people in the future.

First College Graduate Shoot🎓🎉
Here is a picture from my first ever graduation photoshoot! This was my first time shooting with things like champagne, grad outfits, and just the graduate experience overall since I never had my grad pictures taken yet. Juju was super patient with me, experimental, and loved how the pictures turned out! This was really my first shoot that made me fall in love with photography, and made me want to keep doing it outside of college.
First High School Graduate Shoot🎉🎓
This was another photoshoot I did where Gerardo’s family was there and took pictures with him, so a littttle more stress on top of just the photoshoot. Regardless, the pictures turned out amazing for my first high school graduate, and honestly first male model. Gerardo was super experimental, patient, and easy to work with 🙂

First Travel Photos✈️
Kind of irrelevant for paid photoshoots, but I took my camera to LA, New York City, and Miami during the summer of 2025, and did street travel photography for the first time. I just wanted to show my creativity aside from all the posed pictures from before 🙂
First UT Shoot🤘
I offered Kat a free photoshoot at UT since I had no experience at this school, and never stepped foot on campus. She was fortunately down, and was SO nice and patient during this process! Our pictures came out amazing, and her and her family even rebooked me multiple times throughout the year from this work!

Current Sibling Shoots👨👨👧👦
This was Kat’s second photoshoot with me, but this time with some of her family! It was honestly my first time doing a full family photoshoot, which definitely taught me how to pose siblings together😅.
Current Couple Shoots/First Pet Shoot💕🐶
Meet Koen and Alyanna, clients that have booked me twice now for their couple photos! They are both extremely nice people, and even let me take pictures of them with their dog for this shoot. This was my first time shooting with a pet, and I guess it helps that I am a pet person because this shoot went amazing. Looking forward to working with them more in the future 🙂

First Graduate Family Shoot👨👨👧👦🎓
One of my Texas State grad clients, Sophia, wanted her family in the pictures with her! I loved the idea, and I think it makes these pictures even more special to the family. I always encourage bringing somebody with you to a grad shoot, and this was perfect for them 🙂 They loved the pictures, and were so nice to me during the shoot.
First Couple Graduate Shoot💕🎓
Hector trusted me to take his graduate pictures, and what made it even more special for him is that he brought his girlfriend to be in some of the pictures! I love doing couple photoshoots, AND graduate photoshoots, so combining them was a perfect idea.

Current UT Grad Shoots🤘🎓
Compared to my first UT shoot, I loved how much I have grown since then! I have done 3 photoshoots at UT, and learned all the best spots for pictures, times and poses for all my UT graduates 🎉.
First TXST Ring Day Shoot💍🎓
I have done a lot of graduate photoshoots, but this was my first ring day photoshoot at Texas State! I was really happy how these turned out, and was glad Travis was able to bring his girlfriend and mom for some pictures. I would love to do more ring day photos for UT & UTSA graduates in 2026 🙂

First Duo Graduate Shoot🫂🎓
Anna’s UTSA photoshoot was one of the most laid back photoshoots yet! I felt bad I was a little late, so I let her take as many pictures in as many spots as you wanted! She was fortunately really nice, and even brought her friend with her, and even took some pictures with her friend! Having her friend there made her feel really comfortable, and made me more confident with their poses, makeup, hairs, etc. This was also my second UTSA photoshoot, which definitely helped me feel more confident in locations, time and posing 🙂
First Film Graduate Shoot🎞️🎓
For my last graduates in Fall semester of 2025, I decided to surprise my graduates with a few extra things for their photoshoots! Before, I was doing my photoshoots with whatever the clients were bringing. If they brought champagne, flags, etc. I shot with them, but I did not bring anything. This time, I decided to bring my graduates a custom flower bouquet I made, confetti, and even shoot film for them! Everybody was super nice, appreciative, and willing to experiment with my new props 🙂 I look forward to using more of these props and film for future photoshoots!

Current Graduate Shoots
For the 2026 year, I hope on doing more college graduate photoshoots. I would love to do more UT, UTSA, pet, couple, family, and film photoshoots for my graduates! I really love doing this, and truly making these memories last forever for everybody 🙂
