Lifestyle Photographer in Austin, TX
FAMILY + MATERNITY + NEWBORN + SENIORS
An Austin family photographer who creates images that are warm, connected, and true to your family. Whether you’re soaking up the last days of pregnancy, welcoming your newborn, or chasing toddlers through tall grass, I work with families and individuals who embrace both the chaos and the wonder of this season.
WELCOME!
Meet Jessica Wilding
Hello! My husband, Dillan, and I started this business together shortly after our daughter was born. We’ve found that being parents of a young child is a huge benefit to our clients. They know there’s no need to stress if their babies are fussy or their toddlers are headstrong and distractible, because as fellow parents we totally get it! We’re no strangers to spit up or blowouts, or having to pause and regroup to feed a hungry baby. These days I’m the primary photographer & editor, but Dillan does join me on photoshoots whenever videography is needed.
Am I the Right Photographer for Your Family?
Choosing an Austin family photographer can feel a little overwhelming. There are so many styles, so many approaches, so many personalities, and not every photographer is the right match for every family. That’s a good thing. It means you get to find someone whose work feels right for you.
I always tell families that photography is personal. It’s not just about the final gallery, it’s about the energy, the experience, and how you feel during the session.

"If you’re looking for an Austin photographer, I cannot recommend Wilding Photography enough. Their ability to capture such special moments and turn them into ever lasting memories is unmatched. We have used them several times, from maternity photos and newborn sessions all the way to large family shoots and each time we have received phenomenal service. From the communication, to the thought out locations, attention to detail and poses, the passion this husband and wife team has is evident in every shot."
Mentoring Photographers in Austin
Whether you’re just picking up a camera or you’re a few years in and ready to refine your voice, I’d love to share my knowledge with you this spring. I’m opening one or two mentorship spots for photographers who want hands-on guidance, from shooting, to editing, to building a business that feels like yours.
This mentorship is designed to feel calm, supportive, and practical. We’ll work together to tailor the experience to exactly what you need and the areas in which you’re hoping to grow.
