For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved the feeling of nostalgia, of how something like a photo can take you back to a moment in time and how that moment felt. Growing up I loved getting to flip through family photos albums and talk about the memories that they held. I am so happy to have those albums to remember my childhood and all of the love and fun it held.
Equally as important to me as nostalgia has always been story. Every person and every family in this world is so unique and I love that. Getting to know families and all that makes them who they are is such a fun part of my job. For a brief moment in childhood I dreamed of becoming an author, and while that’s not a path I pursued I believe that my camera is now my way of telling stories.
The best part of preserving stories with my camera is that things don’t need to be perfect to be beautiful. Some of my favorite photos are the technically “imperfect” photos that mean everything to the people in them. The photos that you’ll hold in your heart forever: your toddler holding your face close with their sandy hands, your kids jumping through the waves on vacation, and mom and dad just taking a moment to soak it all in.
This career of mine brings together so many things I love: creating, getting to know people, storytelling, and spending lots of time on our gorgeous beaches and I am so grateful for everyone I get to photograph near Corpus Christi and Port Aransas, Texas.
This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it”
Psalm 118:24
Photography is about so much more than the photos. I love this work because of the people I get to meet and the privilege of documenting their stories. I want your experience to feel effortless from start to finish, with thoughtful communication, guidance along the way, and a session that feels natural, comfortable, and true to you.
Whether we’re at the beach, in your home, or grabbing ice cream down the street, I value genuine connection over perfectly posed images. My goal is to create a space where you feel at ease and free to simply be yourselves. Snuggles, splashing in waves, and the beautifully unscripted moments are always welcome.
My hope is you will treasure your images for years and years to come…that they are photos your children grow up seeing framed on the walls of your home, or in albums on the coffee table that they can flip through. What a gift it is to have photos of your life to look back on.
