The JOURNAL

I got to know Gatsby through Czarina’s Instagram. About a year ago, Czarina and her new husband Brad (I shot their wedding last year) got the cutest little Corgi puppy named Gatsby. I followed along through their pictorial journey as they trained their puppy, and discovered personality in the little guy. I fell in love […]

Fall is my favorite time of year. I’m sure I sound like a broken record if you’ve followed my blog over the years because every fall I post photos of beautiful fall leaves and how thankful I am for them…. bla bla bla. But in all seriousness…. I really do love fall. A few weeks […]

Holly in Heels is the fashion blogger every girl wants to be friends with. She’s fun, she’s got impeccable taste in fashion, and she’s a VERY talented writer! I remember going to a networking event for female creatives last year with Holly and as we walked in, one girl after another came up to her […]

Shay is a recent graduate preparing to step into the acting world. We met at the Los Rios Historic District to take some head shots and portraits. (Side note: it was a ridiculous weather day. Not only was it as humid as Dallas, but it was sunny with a thin layer of clouds that acted […]

Today was a memorable day for Christopher and I…. more so for Christopher than for me, but still. Today was his first day of teaching 2nd and 3rd graders! It may not sound like a big deal at first glance, but it totally is. Christopher graduated in 2007 with his BA and credential in Elementary […]

Meet Danyell Weinberg. I first met Danyell eeeeearly one morning in January when she showed up to do hair and makeup for a styled shoot. While we waited for the models to show up, we chatted a bit, laughed at how much we have in common, and well… we really hit it off. Then, a […]

We walked through the grass, chatting away about school, graduation, and the future. I complimented her on her jewelry choices, and we bonded over our ridiculous obsession with 31 Bits. “Buying jewelry to help empower women in Uganda… how could it get any better than that,” we laughed. That afternoon we were girls laughing, chatting, […]

Some people have the gift of learning by hearing instructions, or even by looking at a step by step manual. I, unfortunately, don’t really have either of those gifts… I learn by doing. A lot people ask me how I started with photography, wondering if I went to college to get a degree in it. […]

I met Karli and her mom at Casper’s Wilderness Park on a sunny January afternoon. The sun shone through the trees and sparkled on the grass as I imaged it would in any fairytale movie. It had rained heavily the week prior and all the new spring grass was starting to poke through, showing signs […]

After almost 10 months of going at 200%, I took a little mini adventure vacation for 3 days in October. My bestie Betsy Lackey invited me to meet her in Dallas for the Needtobreath & Taylor Swift concert…. on a whim. Usually, I don’t jump on whims that require lots of traveling and uncertainty, but […]
