Behind the camera

Hi, I’m Sam

A portrait of photographer Sam Ehrnstein holding a camera.

I’m an Austin-based photographer focused on people, events, and the moments that make them worth remembering.

My approach is relaxed and adaptable — whether I’m photographing a corporate event, creating portraits for a team, or working from the pit at a concert. The goal is always the same: make great images without making the process complicated.

More About Me

Whether you need event coverage, updated portraits, personal branding/lifestyle photos, or have something completely different in mind, I'd love to hear about it.
