Every issue of Dripping Springs City Lifestyle begins with words on a page. Ideas are pitched, stories are written, and layouts start to take shape. But it’s when our editorial photographers step in that the stories truly come to life. Their artistry transforms concepts into connection and gives our readers the chance to not only read about our community but feel it through the faces, places, and details captured through a photographer’s lens.
In many ways, it’s the photographs that bridge the gap between story and experience. While our writers craft narratives that inform and inspire, it’s often the images that draw readers in and encourage them to linger.
This partnership between story and image is at the core of what makes Dripping Springs City Lifestyle unique. We want to invite our audience into an experience through the articles we publish. And that experience depends on the creative vision, professionalism, and heart of the photographers who are part of our team. They take the time to notice the small details, to frame a scene in a way that feels authentic, and to deliver images that elevate every issue we produce.
Their work happens behind the scenes, but its impact is front and center. Turn the page, and you’ll see their fingerprints in sunset shots that celebrate the Hill Country’s natural beauty and in intimate portraits that reveal the personality of a neighbor or local leader. Whether it’s a styled shoot, an editorial spread, or a candid moment at a community event, their photography adds depth, vibrancy, and emotion to each story we tell.
In this issue, themed around thankfulness, it feels right to pause and recognize two of our most recent contributors. We are grateful for their dedication to capturing the essence of our town and for giving us the gift of perspective through their artistic eye.

“I may have grown up on the West Coast, but Dripping Springs is where I feel rooted. The mix of wide-open skies, close-knit community, and everyday beauty makes it a place I never stop falling in love with. It’s the kind of backdrop that makes photographing life here endlessly inspiring.
Photography has been part of my life for more than a decade, and yet every session still feels like a brand-new adventure. I get to witness the tender, silly, real moments that make up people’s lives—tiny hands wrapped around mom’s; a burst of laughter in the middle of a “serious” pose; a business owner lighting up when they talk about their work. For me, photography is all about soulful storytelling. I want my images to feel alive, to hold the energy of a memory that will still make you smile 20 years from now.
What I love most about Drip is how it embodies that same sense of story. It’s a place where people still wave to each other at stop signs, where small businesses thrive and families gather under big oak trees for backyard dinners. Every corner holds a little piece of nostalgia, and I feel lucky to capture it through my lens.
Whether I’m photographing a family splashing in the creek, a brand sharing its vision with the world, or a couple soaking up the glow of golden hour, I’m always chasing connection—the honest, beautiful kind that makes life worth remembering. Dripping Springs gives me endless inspiration, and being able to live, work, and create here feels like the best kind of gift.”

“Hey, I’m Alex Davis—a stay-at-home mom of two with a passion for capturing memories that last a lifetime.
My love for photography began during a challenging postpartum season after my second child. Motherhood was a huge adjustment, and for a long time, I felt like I had lost myself. Picking up a camera became a way to reconnect—to find joy, creativity, and a sense of identity outside of being “mom.” Every time I step behind the lens, it fills my cup.
Originally from the Chicago suburbs (Naperville!), my family relocated to the Dripping Springs area in 2015 and I followed after them. I was lucky enough to catch a couple of Friday night lights here in Drip while my brother was on the football team. These days, we’re living on a big ol’ extended family compound, complete with horses and longhorns—definitely not what I pictured growing up as a suburban kid from up north, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
I pride myself on building genuine connections with my clients from the moment we meet. My goal is to help you feel confident, comfortable and, most importantly, like yourself. Whether you’re celebrating a new baby, wrangling a wild crew for family photos, or marking a milestone like senior year, I’m here to make the process fun and meaningful. I work with clients in all stages of life: maternity, families, seniors, sports, events, extended families, and more. I would love to create something beautiful with you!”
