where do i even start? 

this thing’s been a journey and I’m thrilled you might be a part of it. 

first things first - hi! i’m averie claire. technically my last name is woodard, but i changed my facebook name in 2008 because i thought “averie claire” looked better + well, it stuck. i’m a 20-something-year-old traveling photographer living in dallas, texas. i see life in rosy hues. I truly believe there is never a bad time to dance, especially when stevie wonder is playing. i value friendship + raw emotion-filled conversations that always end in laughter. work flows through my veins, as i am a capricorn. if you let me, i’ll collaborate with you to quickly find out who you are + what your magic looks like. human beings are my jam + that is why i am over the moon to get to know you.

how lucky am i to have a job that holds dear + celebrates any kind of love? having the opportunity to be a part of the most tremendous day of ones’ lifetime is not something i take lightly. it is the highest honor. sure, this is a business, but we are all real people. i value you as more than a client. to me, you are immediately a cherished friend. i don’t just take pictures of your day + leave. 

honey, i’m invested. 

i’m not here for the posed and stiff — i want you to leave feeling more in love than when we started.  this is for the carefree, the emotionals, + the hopeless romantics who are interested in being caught in the act. my thing is to document the realness of who you are in its entirety. give me the breathless type of laughter + the ‘can’t see’ type of tears. i want it all. i want you to have it all.
