About Me

Who is Joel Austell? I was born in 1979 at 10:30 PM with a camera around my neck. Okay, I made that last part up. The truth is, I picked up the camera when I was 9 years old. The first picture I took was of an elephant at the San Diego Zoo. It didn't win any awards but I was hooked. As a teenager I spent all my free time skateboarding. When I wasn't landing tricks I was behind a camera capturing images of my friends trying tricks or taking nasty spills. What do I do for fun these days? I take pictures, of course. My wife is also passionate about photography and we spend many of our date nights looking for new and totally awesome places to take photographs. We never leave our cameras behind. I consider myself incredibly lucky because I am able to do what I love everyday. I never wake up and wish I didn't have to go to work. I love working with people and consider everyone I work with a friend. I owe all my success to God and thank him daily for all my blessings! I am living life and loving it with my beautiful wife and kids by my side. Life is good!

My studio is almost complete and ready for my grand opening party! Basically, all that is left is the retail portion of the studio. Along with the albums, photo boxes, and folios I mentioned in my last post I plan to offer my own line of save the date cards, invitations, and favors. I am especially excited to tell you that I will have the amazing designs of Angelfish jewelry available for purchase. Angelfish jewelry has been featured in a overwhelming number of print ads including Ceremony, L.A. Brides, Bridal Guide, US Weekly, Weddingbells Style, Inside Weddings, Grace Ormonde, and OC METRO. The list goes on and on. Britney Spears, Sophia Bush, Eva LaRue, and Christine Devine have all been spotted wearing this one of a kind jewelry. Here is a sneak peek of what is to come!
