We traveled down the lane of arches and changing trees to explore the land of magic mirrors, secret gardens, obstacle castles and book mountains – oh my! It was a beautiful morning full of adventure and a whole lotta loving. I instantly fell in love with this sweet family and little cutie totally melted me. She taught me all about how the chicken goes cluck, cluck and gave me the rundown on all of the characters from her favorite Mickey Mouse movie. So adorable and smart… she’s really going to be a great big sister! Thank you M Family for spending your morning with me and trusting me capture your story. See more images… [Read more…]
DOWNTOWN DUDE | dallas, tx graduating senior portrait photographer
As much as I love all things sunny, I’m also quite partial to lovely overcast days as well. You get such soft, filtered light and at this session we got to use some areas that I normally can’t touch because the sun is usually too strong… bonus!! It was a nice afternoon spent in Downtown Dallas with this soon-to-be graduating senior. I enjoyed hearing about his plans for college and listening to his great accent. 😉 He was super easy going and great to work with, much like his brother. I wish them both nothing but the best as they finish out their senior years and start the next chapters of their lives. See more images… [Read more…]
CHEERS TO GOOD TIMES | dallas, tx family lifestyle photographer
Between “smell mop who” jokes (go ahead… say it out loud a few times), a game of Sorry, card throwing, flying front kicks, mustaches and sippin’ on some sizzurp… I don’t think I stopped laughing the entire session! Such a fun morning with a super sweet family! And I just love their style and outfit choices, perfect for Fall and the setting in Downtown, McKinney. Go ahead, take a look through the images and let us know which ones are your favorites. I even included a little animated sequence with some card throwing. 😉 Thank you K family for being so awesome, you guys rock! See more images… [Read more…]
MODERN COOL | dallas, tx graduating senior portrait photographer
Can I just say how much I love working with graduating seniors?! So awesome and ^^^this guy^^^ was so calm, cool and collected during his modern Downtown Dallas session.

I really enjoyed my time with him and his Mom and can’t wait to work with his brother for his senior portraits in a few weeks too.

BIG LOVE | dallas, tx couples lifestyle photographer
I was so excited when this beautiful couple contacted me about scheduling a session during their visit to Dallas to celebrate their BIG one year wedding anniversary. How fun and sweet is that!? We got started planning right away and I love that we went with doing them Downtown to give them a modern feel. And let me tell you… these guys are totally head over heals for each other! I pulled the little quotes you see in the images below from a questionnaire I had them fill out before the session and I love how perfectly they pair together. So sweet and even though they filled their forms out separately, so many of their answers about each other and their relationship where *very* similar. They go so well together and I’m so honored they chose me to help capture that. Such a lovely couple, with a sweet love story! Thank you K & A for being so amazing… you guys are totally adorable and I loved my time with you both!
I really, *really* love working with couples and although I don’t do weddings, I’m looking forward to expanding my work in this area. Whether you’re dating, engaged, been married a year or 50 years… I want to be your photographer. Seriously folks, this is my call to you! Don’t forget to take time out of your busy schedules to connect and reflect on your love for each other… plus it makes for a super fun date night. 😉 If you’re interested in scheduling this type of session, you can drop me a line here. I would love to hear from you! See more images… [Read more…]

Awesome Senior + Downtown Dallas = BIG Fun 🙂 I had such a great time with D and his sweet family during this session and LOVE all the images we got. I honestly can’t pick a favorite and talk about great style, his outfit choices were perfect and we even worked in a few cap & gown images. So much FUN! Thank you D & family for an amazing afternoon… I really can’t wait to get you all in front of my lens this summer for your family session! See more images… [Read more…]
LOVELY LADY | dallas, tx senior portrait photographer
So WOW… yes, this lovely lady is a natural and is just as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. I really enjoyed our time together and it was so much fun shooting at The Cotton Mill. I love all the variety of textures and locations we were able to achieve during our session. It provided the perfect backdrops for her sophistocated outfit choices. The gorgeous white gown is for her National Charity League Senior Presentation and I’m not going to lie… it kind of makes me want to do more bridal portraits. So very pretty! Thanks C for such a wonderful session… I really loved meeting you and your sweet Mom! See more images… [Read more…]
A BABY IS… | dallas, tx maternity photographer
“… something you carry inside you for nine months, in your arms for three years and in your heart till the day you die.” ~ Mary Mason
It will not be long before this beautiful couple will be holding their sweet baby in their arms. I had such a great time with them and shooting in Austin was a blast! The last time I shot there was for Michele’s Pinkle Toes Photography Professional Workshop so it was so much fun to be back. I pulled a great deal of inspiration from that experience to help create a fun session. I’m so excited for my sweet friends and can not wait to meet the newest member of their family. We are all taking bets on if it’s a girl or boy and I’m thinking girl… so fun! 🙂 Either way, I know that sweet baby is going to be as awesome as his/her parents. What an honor to capture this special time in their lives for them.

NEVER TOO LATE | lubbock, tx lifestyle photographer
Meet my cousin-in-law Matt… don’t I have the best looking family?! I really enjoyed catching up during our session going from spot-to-spot as we worked in some natural and urban settings. I love doing portrait sessions during my visits to Lubbock and getting to explore new locations. We had a great time and were definitely ready for a good mexican meal with family afterwards! 🙂 Although Matt never had a chance to get Senior Portraits done, it’s never too late. I’m so proud of him and all that he has already accomplished after graduating from college. He is doing great things with his life and has a very successful future ahead of him. And YES ladies, he’s single… just email him at… HA! Matt is going to kill me! I better stop while I’m ahead. But seriously such a great guy with an awesome family. I’m lucky to have them in my life!

NAVY JROTC | dallas, tx senior portrait photographer
If you live in Dallas and haven’t checked out the Frontiers of Flight Museum yet, I highly recommend it. We had such a great time taking photographs there. It was the *perfect* location for this session. And watch out ladies, how handsome does Patrick look in his uniform? He is such a great guy with a big heart and I’m so excited for him and the goals that he has set for his future. I have no doubt that he is going to go far and accomplish many wonderful things! I’m honored that they choose me to help capture this special time for them. And just incase you missed them, you can find a couple more fun images from this session here and here. See more images…
