It brings together fine art, contemporary portraiture, and photojournalism into a marriage between art and personality, preserving glimpses of life for years to come. Through my photography I strive to combine emotive storytelling with creative imagery, so that my clients can have images that are both visually striking and emotionally meaningful.

A small recap of a grand week, catching up with old friends and meeting lots of new ones. From all the little impromptu conversations checking into our host property to the fabulous parties and the heartfelt breakout sessions, I was grateful as always to be a part of it all. I started attending these luxury event summits only in the last few years, and it has already dramatically impacted my work: not only in the care I seek to invest for my clients, but in the appreciation I have for all of the teams I have the privilege to collaborate with. This week was truly an incredible experience, put together by with creative direction, design, and florals by the one and only , branding, art direction,and paper goods by , with all this photography production by the gracious and video production by โœจ A slew of talent goes into making these multi-day events possible, and I always walk away brimming with both inspiration and appreciation for their art and efforts. Many thanks to and for hosting - and until next time ๐Ÿค—

Finally defrosted and ready for Spring season, with a few updates for yโ€™all :)

โ€ข Our travel schedule has been a bit wild, with Guatemala, Iceland, and the UK in the rear view and Sicily and Paris on the horizon, but for now Iโ€™m grateful to be home in the ole US of A.

โ€ข We recently brought on a new Operations Assistant who is an absolute gem of a human being, and we are in the middle of updating a refreshed list of vendor partnerships and recommendations for clients โค๏ธ

โ€ข Iโ€™ve been falling back in love with film photography again, and will be both documenting and sharing pieces of that more in the coming months ๐Ÿ“ธ

So much energy for this upcoming season, and Iโ€™m thankful as always for all of you - donโ€™t be strangers ๐Ÿค—

Wishing everyone a wonderful Valentineโ€™s, whether itโ€™s out in the cold and full of bear hugs or just quiet coziness on the couch with your pets nearby. Those little moments add up to a beautiful mosaic, and today of all days is a great opportunity to step back and appreciate that art youโ€™ve been making โค๏ธ

A wedding day story unfolds through moments between people, but the aesthetic of the space and experience of being there set the stage for how those moments will look and feel. This dinner setting for Elizabeth and Stefanos was a complete dream - grand in that it was surrounded by art and antiquities, but cozy in its design toward having great conversations within each table. All the credit to the talented team that helped bring this to life in the beautiful Museum of Fine Arts Houston, with planning by & , floral and rentals by , culinary planning by , and paper goods by .

As wedding season calms and Thanksgiving approaches, Iโ€™m left feeling so much gratitude for family, friends, and the experiences Iโ€™m invited to document in otherโ€™s lives. To celebrate that, I wanted to start sharing quick glimpses into some of the style, stories, and beauty my team and I have photographed in the past year or soโ€ฆstarting with this intimate elopement dinner with Ramie and Kyle. Their full party reception was an absolute banger (that will be shared soon), but this day of quiet closeness has always stuck with me.

So excited for the next few months - thereโ€™s an energy to the summer (not just the Texas heat, but boy golly that too) and I feel it already ๐Ÿ”ฅ The grand adventure that this past fall and spring became is slowly returning to normalcy, and I have so, so much to share from it all. I will be putting the final bows on some of the most beautiful and heartfelt stories Iโ€™ve ever had the pleasure of documenting, and going overseas again to document a few more. All the hugs, gratitude, and more to my eternally gracious clients and friends in the industry. Many good things ahead

(This photo of Alex and Jake was after a sweaty hike in Costa Rica, gown and all. With mist spraying and falls roaring, they leaned into it all and just held each other - in their own hidden, silent moment. Iโ€™ve always loved these images, as theyโ€™re such a great visual depiction of the above: weathering the heaviness of storms, by holding onto the light of what matters most)

Paige and Cameronโ€™s zazzy wedding was so full of laughs and jokes that this moment was simply one of many, editorial vibes and all. Classy days can be fun days too ๐Ÿ˜Ž Donโ€™t let the pressure of propriety or decorum dictate how you enjoy your person (and your people) on your wedding day. This day means more than that, and itโ€™s worth enjoying in your own way. Beyond thankful to have documented these folks from engagements to bridals to wedding day - they are the coolest humans with the coolest dachshund (ayo ) and this was one for the books. Big ole story featuring all of the above coming soon! In the meantime, stick around and say hey - would love to chat with you โค๏ธ

Everyone experiences a wedding day differently. Couples often describe it as a whirlwind, with so many moments flying by that itโ€™s hard to slow down and actually absorb it all. โ€จโ€จWhat most forget is that there are countless memories being built through it all - between family members, in your bridal party, even in yourself without realizing it. โ€จโ€จThis image of Rusol and TJโ€™s stunner of a day at is a perfect example. She was sharing her [sweet but hilarious] vows with TJ as he held it together, her sister was tearing up watching it unfold, and laughs lifted from the bridal party. โ€จโ€จEven the wholesome faux pas of the cell phone video in the crowd is important here, as itโ€™s someone that was proud enough to be there to want to capture it.โ€จโ€จRemember that this is not simply one, big, intimidating crescendo for you. Your wedding journey is an array of meaningful experiences, whether itโ€™s between just two people or shared by two hundred. Above all, make sure you can remember them โค๏ธ

In the wedding world it can be hard for couples to shake the feeling that theyโ€™re expected to perfectly perform and thatโ€™s such a shame.

Barely touching portrait perfection straight out of Martha Stewart are already normalized (and thereโ€™s nothing wrong with that).

But in my rebellion, Iโ€™ll always seek to celebrate these unexpected moments. Theyโ€™re the seasoning that helps our memories stick, and meaningful art all on their own.

Being able to invest into a couplesโ€™ history and give them something of meaning is such a privilege, and Iโ€™m honored to put the work in every single day.

After documenting the lives and loves of over 300 couples in the last 12+ years, Iโ€™ve realized that often I just want to give back to the community that has been so impactful to me. Some of you may have seen some social ads Iโ€™ve been quietly sharing over the last month or so: a giveaway for a free engagement session, to one couple this year. ๐™„ ๐™ง๐™š๐™˜๐™š๐™ž๐™ซ๐™š๐™™ ๐™จ๐™ค, ๐™จ๐™ค ๐™ข๐™–๐™ฃ๐™ฎ ๐™จ๐™ฌ๐™š๐™š๐™ฉ ๐™จ๐™ฉ๐™ค๐™ง๐™ž๐™š๐™จ ๐™›๐™ง๐™ค๐™ข ๐™˜๐™ค๐™ช๐™ฅ๐™ก๐™š๐™จ: of perfectly imperfect proposals, appreciation of goofy antics, and excitement for the future regardless of global issues.

I would love to work with each and every one of you, and it was *so hard* to know only one couple would win. So in the end, because I have awful self control, I ended up running it a few times - and actually have THREE winning couples to share: Many thanks and congratulations to , , and (Just reach out to accept and weโ€™ll make it happen for you) :)

If you did not win, send me a DM - I would still love to help you however I can (really). Your stories were so meaningful, and deserve to be celebrated in a beautiful and personal way
