I love late nights, real laughs, genuine love, fresh air, and the kind of dream clients like when it comes to going on an adventure. If you're into photos that feel as real as you are, you want your memories made to last, and you'd like to make a friend  in the process, keep scrolling, We can't wait to meet you.

Welcome TO THE

Texas weather is so crazy.  Earlier on this day, it was pouring down with lighting and thunder and I was really worried that we were going to get flooded out.  I knew it was supposed to clear up later, but with all the downpour, I knew it could possibly be bad in the grass.  Low […]

Lately, I have been getting alot of questions about the process of sessions and why they cost so much.  I don’t take offense to this at all, because I too didn’t know how much actually went into owning your own business and how much of your time is taken up. Its natural to think of […]

If you knew me most of my life, you would know that since I was born, I LOVED boy bands.  I remember living in Dallas Texas where I was born and loving New Kids on the Block when I was 3.  Seven years later Backstreet Boys walked into my life and I forever fell in […]

This session almost didn’t happen.  We had plans for days before to have this session on April 30th and when the day came storms were coming our way.  We talked earlier in the day to see what the weather was going to be like and I was going to message back a few hours before.  […]

If you have noticed we haven’t done alot of Newborn portraits, but I love little babies!!   It does take alot of time and patience when photographing a newborn as I always think we are on their time. Meet Castiel!!  His family reached out and wanted some newborn pictures, but not the usual kind that you […]

This photo session wasn’t like any other session.  We checked the weather mid week and the weather seemed to be perfect, mid 60’s and clear skies.  Saturday comes and its in the 40’s, cloudy and super windy.  Our plan was to go to the mountains in Oklahoma to shoot this Indian style maternity session.  As […]

Meet the Robinson family!  I have known Cynthia for awhile now, we actually met online and meeting up to exchange items and became in contact ever since.  She told me that she has been needing family pictures done and so we set up a date and prayed it didn’t rain. We had the session scheduled […]

How many people reading this can say that they have lived in the same bedroom for 22 years?  Now if you are elderly and have lived in the same house for 40 years, I bet you have surpassed me.  If you are 33 like me, it may be slim pickings.  The reason why I have […]

One thing that I wanted to be different than alot of photographers is my turnaround with the pictures after a photo shoot!  I know some do 2-4 weeks or longer if its a wedding.  I totally understand if a photographer has alot of sessions and trying to get them out to everyone in a short […]
