Let’s get to know each other
Hello, I'm Jourdan Vaden
the face behind the lens and I am so glad you found my photography page!
I'm your go to wedding, lifestyle, and travel photog located in Austin, Texas.
My photography journey is a year strong and l've had the absolute best time.
3 years happily married to an incredibly amazing man, James Tyler, with whom I have created two beautiful babies. One heaven side + one earth side, Lainey Rai and James Emmett. Plus we have one sweet fur baby, Remy! These four complete me. They are the reason for my being, why I get to do what I love, and the simple secret to my souls happiness! We are lovers + followers of Christ, with a fondness for adventure. You will always find my little family out exploring the artistic world around us!
I love being able to capture your precious + timeless moments.
Whether it's your big day, you're expecting a little one, or you're finally graduating, give me any reason to celebrate and I'm there. Life's precious moments sneak by in the blink of an eye. My visions intention is to effortlessly capture photos you'll look back on twenty years from now that were taken with heart. Moments you can never get back. Moments you wish to keep.
MY JOURNEY SO FAR

Lainey Rai Vaden
Trust me, I know how much you want to hold on to every second
In August 2019 my husband James + I unexpectedly lost our newborn babygirl, Lainey Rai, after one beautiful month. This devastating + earth shattering loss changed me entirely. I had to find a new normal without my baby. It affirmed how preciously short time really is + that timeless moments SHOULD be frozen in time.
With God, we spent the next few years leaning on each other, healing,+ embarking on many adventures. Rebuilding our hearts. Treasuring the only thing we had left of her, our images.
