About Pro: Shari Schmok
Based in Dripping Springs, TX just outside of Austin, Shari specializes in images that evoke memories to last life times. Her unique perspectives intimates the viewer into the essence, energy and passion of that special moment and the soul creating it.
This is her passion...capturing your passion.
Shari's Portrait work, whether, Seniors, Families, Groups, Weddings, Mother & Child, captures the candid essence and unique dynamics of your special moment in time. Her distinct style veers away from awkward posed "frozen" images in front of a pretty background or over-edited photos. Think "photo journalism" instead;
Art with you at the center of it's story.
Clients look like they are having fun because, well, we are! That's when true beauty emerges. Unlike most photographers websites who use professional models to advertise their work, you won't see any models on this site. Instead, they are just people like you and me, having fun!

Always in high demand, no wonder why 75% of her clients are by referral or repeat business!
"My continuing exploration and passion for photography has enabled me to creatively blend across a variety of mediums, styles and areas of expertise with exacting precision. For example, my attention to background detail, perspective and lighting from landscape work crosses over to my portrait and sport shoots when crafting an image that is not only iconic, candid and dynamic, but also is framed within, and subtly supported by, a compelling background.
Expect amazing!"
All the best, Shari
