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!

New products and services for 2009

I am very pleased to inform all of you that I am now offering amazing folios, photo boxes, and albums from Cypress Albums and they are totally green. All of their papers and fabric come from recycled sources and their artisans do everything they can to reduce their carbon footprint in their shop. They are such a beautiful option, especially if you prefer something with a fine art feel. You really need to touch all of their pretty Swiss ribbons and Japanese fabrics, it is addicting! And so are these albums. One album is not enough. Really though, if you want to get your hands on the perfect self-mount album they will be available for purchase at my studio. These albums would look fabulous filled with family, baby, vacation, and engagement photos or would be elegant as a parent book or even a guest signing book. You cannot find this kind of quality in stores! I will post some pictures very soon so keep checking back. Have a blessed day!
