When I graduated high school I had no idea what I wanted to be when I grew up.  I was just ready to get out of town, and head to college.  It wasn’t until my second semester of my sophomore year that I finally landed in education, just in time to not have to cram […]

Over the last year, I have had the opportunity to meet and get to know fellow photographers in my area.  It has been so refreshing to bounce ideas, talk about photography gear, and just the ins and outs as a photographer.  I have met some extremely talented photographers, two of which put this beautiful styled […]

We first met the Bell family when my husband became the assistant principal at Chloe’s elementary school, and we also served in the 4-5 year olds at church and had Bobby in our class.  A short time later, Sara began working at the school, and we have enjoyed getting to know this family even more.

Lucy was definitely the star of the show on this photo shoot.  As soon as she got out of the car, I knew she would be.  She was in a brand new place, roaming around, using all of her senses to figure out this new place that was not her own back yard.  Lucy is […]

The newborn stage is gone in the blink of an eye.  The sleepless nights, the worries about pooping and eating, the tiny fingers and tiny toes, it’s all gone so fast.  And while it seems so long in the moment, when you are out of it, sometimes it hard to even remember what it was […]

Coming from a big family myself, I know how difficult it is to get everyone together.  Growing up, we had aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents so close that we were together regularly, but as everyone got older, the kids went off to college, got married, joined the military, etc, it has become much more difficult […]

When I think of the Texas panhandle, I can’t help but think of “home”.  The cooler summer evenings, the lack of humidity, the beautiful sunsets and star filled skies.  It all reminds me of childhood. And the evening of the Bennett family’s session was no exception.  We decided on Palo Duro Canyon, which is the […]

We scheduled Abby’s senior session almost a month in advance, and we had no idea that the temperature that week would be over 110 degrees.  I really thought I could handle the heat, but when the morning of the shoot I walked to my car from my house and was drenched in sweat, I knew […]

In February I had the privilege of shooting Kylie and Chris’ wedding in downtown McKinney.  It was a very intimate wedding with just close friends and family.  The love that radiated from the two of them was so evident, and their devotion to God was proclaimed as they gave their testimony in their vows.  It […]
