Happy National Kindergarten Day 🎒💛

There’s something so special about this season…
the tiny shoes, the big dreams, the proud smiles.

One day, you’ll look back and realize just how little they were.

Let’s capture it while you’re still in it.

DM me ‘KINDER’ for session details ✨

Okay… real life moment over here 👀

A studio I had reserved for this afternoon just opened up—and instead of letting it go to waste, I’m turning it into something fun.

With the rain rolling through Houston today, it’s actually the perfect excuse to step inside and finally update your business portrait ☔️

If you’ve been thinking,
“I really need a new photo…”
this is your sign.

I’m opening a small number of spots this afternoon for quick, guided sessions designed to help you show up confidently—online and in person.

Here’s what I’m offering:

✨ Rainy Day Refresh – $195
Includes 1 professionally retouched image

✨ Founder Presence Upgrade – $295
Includes 3 professionally retouched images

📍 Downtown Houston studio
🕒 Today | 3:00–5:00 PM
⏱️ Limited spots available

This is simple, elevated, and honestly… a really good opportunity to take care of something that often gets pushed to the back burner.

If your current photo doesn’t feel like you anymore, I’d love to help you change that.

Send me a message and I’ll share available times 🤍

Spring has a way of making us pause and appreciate what matters most.

As Easter approaches and Mother’s Day draws near, I’m thinking about the women in their 40s and 50s who still share a close, meaningful relationship with their mother. The conversations, the comfort, the history, the laughter, the love. So often, we mean to make time for portraits… and then life keeps moving.

That’s the heart behind Generations of Grace
The Legacy Between Us Portrait Experience

This portrait experience was created to honor the bond between mothers and daughters through timeless images and heirloom artwork that tells your story beautifully.

Because one day, these portraits will mean even more than they do now.

If this speaks to your heart, send me a DM and let’s start planning something meaningful together.

Yesterday was a little extra fun. ☘️

I got to spend St. Patrick’s Day at Willie’s Grill in Katy for the 94.5 The Buzz live broadcast, camera in hand and ready to catch some of the action. I was especially excited to get there bright and early to see my favorite 6–10 a.m. crew, The Rod Ryan Show.

From the stage-side games to all the green, laughs, and personality in the crowd, it was such a fun way to spend the morning. Here are a few moments I captured from the event!

Which photo would you pick as your favorite? 💚

Cabinet IQ of The Woodlands is OPEN! 🎉

Big congratulations to Cabinet IQ The Woodlands on their Grand Opening! The showroom is stunning — and the night had such a fun vibe with a solo acoustic performer in the background while guests toured, snacked, and explored all the clever storage upgrades.

I heard a man laugh and say he was glad his wife wasn’t in attendance… because they’d be making renovation plans on the way home. 😂 Honestly, I get it. Seeing the cabinetry features in person (soft-close, pull-outs, hidden storage, all of it) sparks ideas fast.

If you’ve been thinking about updating your kitchen, this is a great first stop — you can see finishes in real lighting, compare styles side-by-side, and test out solutions that make everyday life easier.

📍 Cabinet IQ The Woodlands
9166 Farm to Market 2920, Suite 700
Tomball, TX 77375

Which feature would you want most: pull-out drawers, hidden trash, or pantry upgrades? Comment your pick 👇

Today is National Son’s Day, and moments like this are exactly why it matters.

This mom scheduled a last-minute portrait session with her son… and just one year later he stepped into his full teenage look.

That little boy face? Gone.

Now this moment lives on her wall forever.

This is why portraits matter.

The moments we think we’ll always have… change faster than we expect.

Your story becomes artwork.

If you’ve been thinking about updating your family portraits, consider this your sign.

Comment SON and I’ll message you the details.

Pet parent confession time… 💛 I bet you have 300 adorable photos… and zero printed.

Here’s the drama: those moments are priceless… and most of them disappear into the scroll.

And then one day it hits you—you weren’t just taking cute pics… you were collecting proof of love.

Today is National Love Your Pet Day, so here’s your tiny choice moment:
Do you want those memories living in your phone… or living on your walls where you get to smile every day?

Close your eyes for a second and picture it—walking past their portrait and your whole mood lifting. 🐾✨

That’s what Wag & Wonder is for: a simple, joy-filled experience that turns your favorite moments into artwork you can actually live with.

Comment “WAG” and I’ll message you to set up a quick call/Zoom + plan your session. 💛

They don’t stay this version of themselves forever. 🐶💛

One day the zoomies slow down, the gray shows up, and you’ll wish you captured who they were right now.

To celebrate National Love Your Pet Day (this Friday) and National Small Dog Day (next Thursday), I’m opening a few Wag & Wonder sessions — a simple, joyful experience designed to turn your pet’s personality into artwork you’ll see and feel every day.

Close your eyes for a second: imagine walking past their portrait on your wall and smiling without even trying.

If that’s the kind of “everyday joy” you want at home, message me “LOVE” and I’ll send the details + availability.

👉 Quick question for the guys in service-based industries… does your current profile photo actually look like you?

For the longest time, Josh was using a selfie for his business image—sunglasses and all.
And honestly? He’s not alone.

At a recent BNI meeting, I shared something especially with the men in the room:
👉 An updated business portrait doesn’t have to feel stiff, awkward, or like you’re pretending to be someone you’re not.

So when Josh and I planned his session, we kept it simple and authentic.
✔️ A park nearby
✔️ One of his everyday polos
✔️ Cargo pants
✔️ No suit. No studio. No pressure.

Just Josh—approachable, confident, and exactly who his customers expect to show up at their door.

If you work in a trade, service, or hands-on industry, this is your reminder:
Your business portrait should build trust before you ever shake a hand.

Friendly. Professional. Real.
That’s what connection looks like.

If your current photo is a selfie (or hiding behind sunglasses 😎), let’s talk.

Your story deserves to be represented well—without losing who you are.

📍 Business portraits that feel like you, not a costume.

Ever wonder how a sport can turn total strangers into teammates in, like… 10 minutes? 👀

A couple years ago I kept hearing Dr. Brené Brown casually mention pickleball on her podcast (she’s an avid player), and it stuck with me. Fast-forward to the end of last year: I finally picked up a paddle and started learning—and now I get it. 😄

Our friends love gathering at SUPR Pickleball in Tomball, and what I love most isn’t even the score… it’s the instant community. You start recognizing the regulars, cheering each other on, and before you know it you’re rooting for people you just met at the kitchen line.

That’s exactly how I spent my Saturday last weekend—several of my friends were in a tournament, and I decided to bring my camera along. I’ve missed capturing live sports, and it always surprises people when they learn I originally started with sports photography. It’s still one of my favorite genres because it’s pure energy + real connection.

Also: if you’re local and you haven’t been to SUPR yet—go. The owners (two brothers) have created such a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere. They’re friendly, professional, and genuinely helpful… the kind of small business you want to support.

I’m sharing a few of my favorite images from the day—tell me which one feels the most “pickleball life” to you. 😆🏓

✅ If you’ve been curious about pickleball, drop a “🏓” and I’ll tell you what I wish I knew starting out.
✅ Tag a friend you’d bring to SUPR.
✅ And if you see yourself (or someone you know) in these images, say hi in the comments!
