*Bill Hader’s Stefon character from SNL*
“This wedding had everything! Silos! Florals! Bolo ties! Cocktails! Jackfruit! Middle fingers! Stoic grandpas! Stomping on glass! So much joy and laughter! A custom mural for guests to paint during the reception! Multiple types of dessert! Walking tacos! Silver cowboy boots! A sequin celestial reception dress! A saxophonist in the dance party! AND MORE!
In all seriousness, Lauren and Grant’s day last year was a thoughtful exercise in planning one helluva party while making sure everyone—not just them—felt included and celebrated. These two pulled out so many stops to make their day an ode to their humanity and lives and love and, just, as much of that kinda energy as possible please and thanks.

Happy Tuesday! Or whatever day it is when you read this. I would like to photograph your family this Spring or Summer. ☀️
Details:
- I come to you or we meet in a pretty spot.
- Y’all dress cute and be yourselves and I will direct if/when needed. We can center around an activity or two or we can just be/frolic/wander.
- Though no pets are featured in these photos, all of your dogs, cat, lizards, snakes, guinea pigs, horses, cows, fish, etc are welcome to be a part of your session. And yes, I will want to be friends with them all except for maybe the snakes but I CAN HANDLE IT.
- We will get a mix of traditional and documentary and a bit more experimental if time allows. I have 30 minute, hour, and multi-hour family sessions to suit whatever you’d like. Prices start at $300.
- Your images (all the good ones—I don’t put a cap on deliveries!) will be edited and returned to you in a private online gallery and from there you can download, print, share, laugh and cry to your heart’s content.
- You don’t need a reason for updated family photos other than you’re glad they’re yours. 🫶🏼

Get in touch and we can make it happen. 🌸🏡

M + T’s intimate wedding at . Featuring THESE SHOES. 🤩 These two got hitched and celebrated with a low key family dinner with BBQ and cake and a lil smoochin’ under some twinkle lights. Nothing over the top. Nothing “traditional” other than a small ceremony and signing a marriage license. They did what they wanted and I 1000% am in support of that. ✨
Eloping or having an intimate wedding? I’d love to be your photographer. Having a big wedding with a multi-hundred person guest count? I’d also love to be your photographer. 🤓 Basically, if you are getting married to the LOYL and want to make some magic no matter what it looks like or no matter your guest count, holler at me.
I have a handful of 2026 dates open for weekend dates (plenty of weekday availability still), and am now booking 2027 dates as well.
Whether you love being the center of attention…or it’s one of your least favorite things of all time, I’m good with either and would love to celebrate you and photograph you in whichever elements feel most at home. Let’s chat! 💌

A + C and their spiritual, magical, beautiful, colorful, poetic day. 💍💘🦅🌕🌸🥂🍃

This one was special (though all the days I get to work are)—an ode, an honor, a calling upon ancestors. It was earth meeting art, humans meeting nature. It was family-style and intimate, large and quiet. It was cohesion and it was juxtaposed. It was a poet’s dream and a photographer’s playground.

I’d love to fill up the rest of my 2026 calendar with intentional elopements and weddings. If you’re an artsy/earthy/whimsical/thoughtful/doing-things-their-own-way sorta couple, I’d love to be your photographer. Holler from the contact form via the link in my bio. 💌

Imagine this:
You get hired to photograph wedding in the country. The Bride and Groom have been casually working on getting everything ready for guests on their family’s property. But by “casually working” I mean…they cleared out massive amounts of trees to find The Tree and they strung lights and built pews from the trees they had cleared and also, ya know, built a whole dang barn for the reception??? Like. These two built out their entire wedding venues? And it was absolutely magical and whimsical and perfect??? Complete with twinkle lights galore, a Tex-Mex buffet, heartfelt vows, and a relaxed and beautiful evening in small town Oklahoma for their favorite people. I truly cannot handle how cool the people I get to work with are. Madi and Michael are the bees knees.
After they got married, they went honeymooning in Iceland. So, yeah, they are my kinda people.
Please enjoy a few frames and also please clap of the absolute brilliant work they made happen for their big day.
(We also got to do a day-after sesh which ruled big time too.)
Lots more to share from this year and am happily booking 2026 dates! Holler if you wanna work together. ❣️✨

Life lately has been filled with full circles. Synchronicities and reminders where I came from. Reminders where I am now.
Addison is one of them. I’ve known Addison since she was a literal toddler. We grew up in the same small town, going to same school, the same church, living on the same street. We went our separate ways and started living our dreams and found each other again, this time she is marrying J***y who is, frankly, taken away by Addison. Their love is gorgeous to see and is a ton of fun (though Addison would likely just say “I’m sorry I’m so awkward!”) to be around, and I can’t wait to see them be long-time pardners and say “yeehaw” to a lifetime together in October. Rumor has it I bought boots for the occasion.
Enjoy these of our time running around The Stockyard District. 🐄🌵🌜🤠

Here is my updated 2024 Saturday availability! I’d love to make something magical with you.

09/02/2023

Fall wedding season kicks off tomorrow, and the first one is particularly close to my heart. The bride, Sara, and I are cousins by marriage and friends (by choice). Her grandma was married my step-grandpa and we grew up together. I remember lots of lunches after Sunday at our grandparents’ house with the best mashed potatoes and green beans. I remember playing with all the dogs amongst the family (Sara’s dad was also the family vet). Trick or treating at each other’s homes. Often gathered for one or more holiday gathering/Christmas shindig a year. I remember playing with polly pockets with Sara in her family’s playroom/basement. Like. A lot. I’ve quite literally watched Sara go from child to teenager to college student to adulthood to full on engaged-human and now to a whole dang bride. Our respective grandparents passed away a few years ago, and life got busy and we hadn’t seen each other much.
Fast forward to when she got engaged to the wonderful Gary (who makes her laugh so hard🥲), and she asked me to be their photographer. A quick and eager “yes” from me—it’s been so great reconnecting and getting to know each other in our respective stages of our lives. We have laughed and talked a lot during the time leading up to the wedding, and anyways—I expect to shed a few tears tomorrow as I watch Sara become a Mrs.
She’s going to be so beautiful and the day itself is going to be wrapped in love. Here are a few of my fave frames from their cutie lil engagement sesh. 💓💍☀️
