Serving Austin, TX families with love 💛

Our most popular session captures the whole crew — toddler tantrums and all. We shoot outdoors at a location that feels like home to your family. Perfect for holiday cards, wall art, and grandparents who just want more photos.
Starting at $350Your baby's first birthday deserves a photo session as epic as the mess they'll make. We set up, you celebrate, and Lila snaps every frosting-covered second. You'll be laughing at these photos for years to come.
Starting at $25030 minutes of pure magic during Austin's most beautiful light. Ideal for small families or couples who want stunning photos without a full-day commitment. Includes 15 professionally edited images delivered within a week.
Starting at $175Hi, I'm Lila Martinez — Austin mom, chaos-embracer, and the woman behind the lens at Snap & Giggle Photography. I started this business because I was tired of seeing families crammed into stiff poses in front of a plain backdrop, looking nothing like themselves. Your family is loud, hilarious, and full of love. Your photos should be too.
I specialize in capturing families with young kids — the age group that literally cannot be still — and I've built every single part of my approach around making you and your little ones feel at ease. I know the right snack bribes. I know how to get a genuine belly laugh from a two-year-old. I've seen every tantrum and every magical spontaneous hug, and I know which one to run toward with my camera.
My mission is simple: help Austin families hold onto their most joyful, everyday moments. Not the posed perfection, but the real stuff — the piggyback rides, the grass-stained knees, the "one more time, Daddy" moments that are gone before you know it. That's what I'm here to capture.
I believe every family deserves beautiful photos they'll actually love, at a price that doesn't require a second mortgage. Snap & Giggle is built on warmth, laughter, and the belief that the best photos feel less like a photo shoot and more like a really good afternoon at the park.

"I was so nervous because my son is THREE and literally never sits still — but Lila had him chasing bubbles and laughing within five minutes. The photos she captured look like they belong in a magazine, but they feel completely like us. I cried happy tears when I opened my gallery. We're already booking our holiday session."

"We booked the Cake Smash Spectacular for our daughter Nora's first birthday and the whole experience was incredible. Lila brought so much energy, set everything up, and kept us laughing the whole time. The final photos were delivered in less than a week and every single one was stunning. Our families are obsessed with the gallery."

"Lila is the real deal. We have four kids — ages 2 through 9 — and she somehow managed to capture all of them smiling at the same time. The golden hour light at Zilker Park was just unreal. She's patient, funny, and clearly loves what she does. Every photo tells a story that's actually ours. Book her immediately."
