The best photos aren’t the perfectly posed ones—they’re the ones where you forget I’m holding a camera. 🤍

The laughing, the goofy moments, the way you look at each other when you’re just being yourselves… that’s what I love to capture.

Don’t worry about knowing how to pose. I’ll guide you through the whole thing so nothing feels forced, and your photos actually feel like you.

Planning a Houston wedding? I’d love to help tell your story.

Being the “Somebody’s Feral Aunt” means saying yes to bug hunts, silly adventures, and making memories they’ll (hopefully) laugh about one day. 💚

Grateful for weekends spent unplugging, soaking up the outdoors, and making memories with these wild little humans. 🏕️✨

What’s your favorite camping memory?

Me: ‘Okay, just one more!’

Also me: Shoots for another 20 minutes 🥴

I promise I’m not actively lying to you... I just really love taking photos… and maybe the lighting is perfect. 😅

It's July. Time to reflect. ☕
New on the blog yesterday: a mid-year reflection on what I've learned about love, laughter, and letting go (the slightly behind-the-scenes version).

It's a little personal. A little honest. And maybe a little vulnerable.

I see so much misinformation out there, and it makes couples stressed before they even BOOK a photographer. Let’s fix that. 🗣️

Myth 1: You need to be a model.
Reality: I specialize in awkward couples. You’ll look like YOU, not a catalog.

Myth 2: You need a second shooter.
Reality: Sometimes yes, sometimes no. I’m honest about what your timeline actually needs.

Myth 3: Engagement sessions are optional.
Reality: They’re practice! We learn how you move, how I direct, and you get gorgeous photos. Win-win.

Myth 4: You HAVE to do a first look.
Reality: Your wedding, your rules. I’ll make either option beautiful.

Myth 5: More hours = better photos.
Reality: A well-rested photographer with a solid timeline > a zombie with 12 hours of coverage.

Drop a 🗣️ if you’ve heard ANY of these myths before.

The moment she tapped him on his shoulder... 🥺

This. This right here is why I'll never get tired of first looks.
Whether you do it privately before the ceremony or save that aisle moment, there's something so sacred about the first time they see you.

Some of my favorite photos ever? The ones where they don't even know I'm there.

It started with a cow named Brisket. 🐄🤠

Then came the mechanical bull, the fat heads, the fake money launchers, and hats branded during the ceremony.

Travis + Jenny’s Big Sky Barn wedding was the most Texas thing I’ve ever photographed.
