Nessi Photography, Austin

Conspiracy theorists need not apply: the elusive Nessie of Loch Ness doesn't snap the images at Nessi Photography. Instead, that duty falls upon Vanessa Duron, who trains her lens on posed and candid moments alike during her on-location sessions. Said shoots primarily focus on five kinds of subjects, including newlyweds canoodling after their nuptials and youngsters playing in the park. After each session, Vanessa assembles up to 15 of her best edited pictures onto a CD, and even preserves her clients' favorites with prints up to 8"x10" in size.
