As I see lifestyle and editorial photography for families becoming more popular, I can get caught up in feeling like we’re all doing the same thing. So I try to keep my creative flow flowing by remembering what is most important to me. Things like honesty, connection, emotion, grit, feeling, perfect imperfection, beautiful mess and of course how light communicates all of that.
Perfect and posed has never been what
stirs my soul. I want the good stuff. Whimsy and wonder. A little grit and a lot of tenderness.
I think what stands out about what I try to do is create safety to be vulnerable and open and to feel. I’ve never been scared of feelings. They’re kind of my thing, so it makes me happy to create an environment where people can express themselves with the people they love most and not feel embarrassed or weird about it.
Going into 2026 I’m already zeroed in on things like touch and skin and wrinkles and eyelashes and hands and messy hair in the wind.
Living in Dallas it’s easy to get caught up in everything looking just right, but that’s not the goal. The goal is genuine connection between you and your people, your business, or just you and yourself (more on this coming soon.)
To be in front of the lens isn’t an everyday experience for most so I want it to be safe for you. We’re not here for the traditional we’re here for real, tangible, soft, strong and every emotion in between. When you breathe out and relax and let go of expectations is when the real magic happens. That’s when we can truly make art that feels like you to pass down for generations.
I know now how much time and care I put into each project and to uphold the standard you expect I will be taking on less projects to allow for creating with people who are completely aligned with going with the creative flow, telling a story and making one of a kind art pieces.
2026 books are opening soon and I can’t wait to create real things with real people like you.
