Jason was on cloud nine after Anna said "Yes!" 🎈

What started as a fancy date night became the beginning of Jason and Anna's lifetime adventure together. Rohr Balloons took us a mile in the sky and showed us the sights of Allen, TX -- at the end of our journey, we made a champagne toast to another safe voyage and to the happy couple.

Thanks for letting me capture this moment for you two, and mark an item off my bucket list! 😉

The best part of a professional headshot session? Hearing about your passions!

Looking back at a Downtown Arlington session with Shoshana and celebrating her venture into a new career path.

Now that the invites are out, I can share these fun photos from an engagement session with my sister and her fiance 🤩

We had a blast renting out a local studio space and taking some retro-feeling portraits for their wedding invitations!

Love these goofballs and I'm excited to celebrate and support them! 🍾🎊

The Cripe family embodies summertime — peep the amazing sunset at the end 🤤

Lovers of the outdoors and a good laugh, we all had a great time hanging out near the water and capturing the fun that the Cripe family has when they're together.

‼️This is absolutely a pro tip for family photos:

Find something you all love doing together and invite your photographer into that activity! It makes for a relaxed session and you also get photos of your loved ones doing something you mutually enjoy ☺️

Sent off some sneak peeks yesterday 😍

Y'all, these aren't even the five-star photos from Jimmie and Ruthy's wedding 👀 I've been swooning over so many of these fun and memorable photos from their California celebration.

Can't wait to share more later!

The master and the apprentice!

Esteban and Luke are the gurus behind BlancoIT 🧡 They do so much to improve the processes and tech experiences of their clients — it was only fitting that they have headshots that captured their professional and approachable personalities.

Oh yeah, and Luke is the greatest husband a girl could have 😘

Snaps from a family session with the Ballou's! They were all smiles and easy-going fun on this humid morning ⛅

Last slide gives me all the "sibling silliness" vibes 😂

Josh and Samrawit were one of my first clients upon my return to Texas. 💕

They kindly asked me and Luke, my “then-friend-now-husband”, to take their engagement photos for them in the fall of 2018.

Luke accompanied me on the shoot and captured some sweet behind the scenes photos for me — they are some of my favorite photos of us to this day!

I had no idea that I’d end up marrying this kind British man, nor did I anticipate that I’d continue to develop my photography skills and get to where I am today.

🥰 Feeling extra grateful!

🏡 Home for the holidays as a newly married couple, Sam and Kathryn made time to have their portraits captured with the last leaves of the fall season.

We spent our hour exploring River Legacy Park and finding spaces for fun piggyback rides as well as cozy moments.

To know the Robbins is to love them…

To know the Robbins is to also know Janelle’s love for their rabbits. 🐰🐇

Home sessions are becoming my new favorite way to capture couples and families! I come to you in the comfort of your home and get to capture your essence through more than just your smiles. Who cares if the kitchen sink is dirty? We’ll be at your dining room table with your favorite coffee mug, cozied up on your couch, or outside in your yard space. It gives you memories of life lived in your home and shows you the beauty of the space you’ve created 🏡

❕PARENTS NEED PHOTOS TOGETHER ❕

I'm a big advocate for parents getting a photo of just the two of them during a family session. It's so good to remember the original love that became a foundation for the family.

Everyone got moments away during the Smith-Gentry family session. Individual portraits for personal use, little nuclear families, ones of “just the parents” and of course the entire family!

There was no hesitation to make a December 26th photoshoot happen for the Smith-Gentry clan — it’s not every day that everyone is in town, so feel free to try and schedule a session for those times when you’re all together.
