Yes, you read that right. Once upon a time, a radiant bride floated down the aisle toward her soon-to-be husband while guests wiped away tears. Meanwhile, I was folded into the world’s most awkward S-shape behind my camera, fighting stabbing pain from undiagnosed kidney stones. My smile looked more like a grimace, but I didn’t miss a single frame. Every vow, every glance, every teary hug—I captured it all. Looking back, it’s kind of the perfect metaphor: no matter what curveballs life throws my way, I’m fully committed to showing up for my couples and preserving the moments that matter most.
That probably tells you everything you need to know about me, but here’s a little more:
Even in the best of circumstances, you’re juggling a million little details only you can decide. And in the not-so-ideal ones—like planning a wedding with $75 in my bank account (yep, been there)—the stress can skyrocket. That experience gave me a deep respect for the journey you’re on and a determination to make the photography part of it the least stressful decision you’ll make.
Getting here wasn’t exactly a straight line. I switched my college major five times (quick detours through nursing, math, and graphic design) before realizing my calling looked nothing like the “traditional” career I thought I was supposed to have. What I really wanted was to pour my energy into creating art and serving people. From the moment I photographed my first wedding, I knew I’d found the work I was meant to do—work that blends creativity with compassion and turns fleeting moments into lasting heirlooms.
I’d do pretty much anything to serve incredible couples like you, because I know firsthand how overwhelming wedding planning can be.
Today you’ll find me swapping milkshake recipes, Netflix recommendations, and love stories with the most amazing couples across Texas.
With a style that’s bold, uplifting, and undeniably romantic, I turn one of life’s most magical milestones into art that will fill your walls and your hearts for decades to come. And I do it all with a calm, easygoing presence that lets you relax, celebrate, and be fully in the moment.
You and I both know we wouldn’t be the people we are today without the love and support of our families. My parents, husband, and little ones are a constant source of encouragement, comfort, and support. Photos of their smiling faces are some of my most treasured possessions.
There’s something so captivating to me about people who just freely feel whatever they feel! I think that’s what I love so much about weddings. Everyone is expressing all the love and joy they have for the couple, and for a sensitive little sap like me, it’s the best thing in the world!
Once upon a time, I thought I wanted to be an interior designer. So whether I’m daydreaming about my dream home or documenting the facets of a wedding day, I am always drawn to unique flourishes and delicate details.
Nothing brings me more joy than updates from former brides as they settle into married life. I love seeing their canvases beautifully displayed over fireplaces, heirloom albums passed around on holidays, and even photos of nurseries as families grow. I hope to build sincere friendships with all my clients that extend far beyond the wedding day.
