Meet the heART behind Blackbird Photography

Raeven Salas Photographer

My name is Raeven and I am so glad you’re here! I am a born and raised Texan! Originally from San Antonio, I moved to South Austin in 2022 and now reside in North Austin (Leander).

I am a mother, daughter, sister, aunt and friend. As a mother to 2 incredible children, I strive to provide families with an experience they can reflect on when they’re ready to. Every moment, milestone and chapter deserve to be treasured.

Photography was not always a passion but a hobby I enjoyed. I bought my first camera in 2021, not fully understanding or expecting so many doors to open. In September 2025, I began my official photography business and Blackbird was born.

I truly enjoy the genuine connections I am able to make with my clients. It’s important to me that I provide a safe, client-driven space to create memories to give back to you. Through photography, I am entrusted to capture special moments in my client’s lives. Anywhere from birth, maternity, newborn etc. I am there in a heartbeat to see it all through.

Every opportunity to create new relationships is something I truly value. From our vision call all the way to the “gallery sent” email, every step of your journey is a step I take to heart.

I look forward to making YOUR vision come to LIFE.
