I photographed a very sweet family recently. The post the mom shared on Facebook really summed up everything that I stand for as a photographer; the importance of not only capturing professional images of your family, but why as a mom it’s important to exist in them, too. This is what she postedâ€...

A Breast Cancer Survivor's Story...   This month's photography portfolio is dedicated to my sweet friend Leigh.  I had the honor of photographing her a few weeks ago. Leigh is one of the strongest, most positive and inspiring women I've ever met. At just 37 she was diagnosed wit...

Hurricane Harvey: The week Houston will never forget...   To call Hurricane Harvey a devastating storm would be an understatement. As of Friday, it has been assessed that Harvey caused: one million Texans to evacuate, 185,000+ flooded homes, displacement of over 42,000 Houstonians st...

Houston family photographer: photography pets sessions... Pets are such a special part of our lives. For the last 11 years, I've been outnumbered with a husband, two teenage boys and our male German Shepherd Toby, but I wouldn't have had it any other way. We had to say goodbye to our beloved To...

Family Portraits Houston:  3 Generation Session... This is one of my most treasured family photos. It’s old and faded, however it proudly hangs on our wall just at the bottom of the staircase (in perfect position to be saved God forbid the house ever catches on fire). It’s one of my most pr...

Houston Family Photography: Full Service Photographer...   So much has changed in the world of photography over the last decade, mostly due to the fact that owning a digital camera is now virtually affordable to just about anyone. Walk into Best Buy and you can leave with p...

The Perfect Wall Arrangement...   Let's face it, we all either know someone (or are the someone) with that one wall in their home that's more naked than a Kardashian on Twitter. It's that wall that you were so excited about decorating when you moved in, but never got around to it bec...

  Portraits... Since the very first portrait taken in 1839, portraits have become a visual link to the people we love most in our lives. We honor them by capturing not only their likeness but who they truly are as people. We record this on what is in my opinion, one of the most a...

Natural Photo Sessions...   We've all experienced it... having a professional photograph taken but instead of feeling calm and relaxed, we feel like a deer caught in headlights.  We freeze in front of the lens--not sure how to smile, where to put our hands or how to po...

There's something I hear quite often that's really weighing on my heart. Something that I feel compelled to discuss. As a family portrait photographer, I come across a lot of moms. And I hear so many say thinks like... "I'd absolutely love to do photos right now but I don't feel good about...

Who hasn't relished the idea of a serious pillow fight? The sight of feathers flying through the air and the thud of the pillow as you whack your sister before she can get you first.   This past weekend I had a chance to capture the sheer joy and excitement of two of my favorite ...

I absolutely love photographing engaged couples. I knew the moment I spoke with Miss. M that I wanted to photograph her and her beau. The energy you have with some clients is instantly palpable. They live in Dallas but were planning a long weekend in Galveston to kick their feet ...

Despite the Houston heat and humidity (does anyone EVER get used to it?!) yesterday was so much fun. I'm so happy my youngest and his best friend both have an affinity for photography. As they say, "Teach your kids to love photography and they'll never have enough money to buy drugs." We headed out...

I love summer. Even though it has been hot enough to fry eggs on the sidewalk lately, there's something so majestic about the warm, golden glow at the end of a long summer's day. The sound of cicadas in the trees, the ever-changing blues, pinks and oranges in the panted sky... it's eternal...
