“I’m so awkward in front of the camera. I never know what to do with my hands.”

If that sounds like you, you are not alone. ❤️

You don’t need to know how to pose, where to look or what to do with your hands. That’s my job. My job is to guide you, make you laugh and create a space where you can relax and simply be yourself.

A session with me is about so much more than beautiful photographs. It’s time to feel seen, celebrated and comfortable in your own skin. We’ll get to know each other, share a few laughs and capture the real connection and personality that make your story yours.

Then comes my favorite part: helping you turn those moments into beautiful artwork for your home, so you can enjoy them every single day. ❤️

If you’ve been putting off having portraits made because you feel awkward in front of the camera, send me a DM with the word COMFORTABLE. I’d love to tell you what your experience could look like.

September came with big milestones, unexpected joy and so many reminders to slow down and be grateful. 💛

From cheering on my son at Homecoming to welcoming our precious new grandson, to connecting with an incredible creative community in Springfield, this month was full in the very best way.

I was also honored to have my work displayed at the National Art Gallery and to become a certified professional boutique photographer through the Photography Business Institute. I’m so thankful for every opportunity to grow as a New Braunfels photographer, create meaningful custom portrait art and serve the families who trust me with their stories.

And somewhere in between, there was good coffee, a Route 66 adventure and some spectacular sunsets.

September, you were one for the books.

What was one moment from September that made your heart feel full? I’d love to celebrate it with you in the comments.

Some photographs deserve to live bigger.

There is something so special about seeing a favorite portrait become finished artwork, created to be seen, enjoyed and loved every day.

This beautiful canvas is headed home, and I can already imagine the smiles it will bring each time they walk by it.

Your favorite images deserve more than a screen. They deserve a place in your home.

If you’ve been thinking about creating artwork for your family, message me and I’ll send you the details.

This is why I do photography the way I do. ❤️

I don’t want to just take your pictures, hand you a bunch of digitals and send you on your way.

I want to help you actually DO something with them.

I want your family on your walls. I want your kids flipping through an album years from now. I want you to have actual artwork of the people you love most.

Because those pictures sitting on your phone aren’t doing anybody any good. 😂

If you’ve been saying “we really need to get family pictures done” for way too long… maybe this is your sign. ❤️ Send me a message and let’s talk about what you’d actually love to have hanging in your home.

To all the moms who can’t believe their baby is starting senior year… I’ve got you. ❤️

I know you’re feeling all the feelings. You’re proud of who they’ve become, excited for what’s ahead and wondering how the years passed so quickly.

That’s why I’m here. I’ll help you slow down, celebrate your senior and preserve this chapter with beautiful artwork that keeps them close, no matter where life takes them next.

Because senior year isn’t only their milestone. It’s yours, too.

If your baby is starting senior year and this speaks to your heart, send me a message with the word “SENIOR.” I’ll share all the details and help you start planning something unforgettable.

So many special moments from Simply Me, Hill Country Kids Art Gallery. ❤️

This gallery was created to celebrate some pretty amazing Hill Country kids exactly as they are, full of personality, joy, sweetness, silliness and all the little expressions their families never want to forget.

But this project was also created for an even bigger purpose: to give back to local foster care organizations doing such important work for children and families right here in our community, including 1HOPE for Kids, CASA and SJRC Texas/Belong.

Seeing these kids proudly standing next to their portraits was pretty incredible. Knowing that this evening also helped raise money and awareness for children and families in foster care made it even more meaningful.

A huge thank you to Kathy Alene Photography for capturing these images for us. 📸 Having Kathy there allowed Lara, Sabrina and me to step out from behind the camera and truly be present with the kids, their families and everyone who came out to support this special evening.

And thank you to every family, sponsor, donor and friend who showed up, gave, shared and cheered this project on. You weren’t just supporting an art gallery. You were helping us love on kids, celebrate families and give back to organizations serving children in foster care throughout our community. ❤️

This is exactly what we hoped Simply Me could become.

What a night. ❤️📸

Last night’s Simply Me: Hill Country Kids Art Gallery was such a meaningful celebration of children, community and giving back.

This special event brought three photographers together with one shared purpose: to honor some pretty amazing Hill Country kids and use our photography to support local foster care charities and the children and families they serve.

One of my favorite moments was watching the kids walk into the gallery and find their own portrait displayed on an easel as art. Their faces said everything.

Because this night was about so much more than photographs.

It was about helping kids feel seen, celebrated and important. It was about families coming together. It was about local businesses showing up with generous hearts. And it was about using art to make a difference right here in our community.

We absolutely could not have done this without our incredible sponsors. To every business, individual, donor, volunteer and friend who sponsored, donated, printed, provided items, gave time or helped bring this gallery to life, thank you. Your generosity made this night possible. ❤️

And to every family who trusted us with your children and became part of Simply Me, thank you. It was an honor to celebrate your kids in such a special way.

Three photographers.
A gallery full of amazing kids.
An incredible community.
And one night I’ll never forget.

So thankful I got to be a part of it. ❤️

They’re “just photos” until they aren’t.

Years ago, I took a photograph of our Naomi.

At the time, I had no idea it would be the last one.

I didn’t know that one day I would look at that image differently. That it wouldn’t just be a photograph anymore. It would become a piece of our story. A reminder of her face, her spirit, her place in our family and the love we never want to forget.

That’s why I believe so deeply in creating artwork of the people you love.

Not just images that live on a phone.

Not just files that get buried in a folder.

But artwork you can walk past every day. Artwork your children see on the walls. Artwork that says, “You belong here. You are loved. You matter.”

We never know which photograph will become the one we’re most grateful for.

So take the photograph.

Print it.

Frame it.

Hang it where your heart can see it.

I don’t say this to make you sad. I say it because I know what it feels like to be grateful that the photograph exists. And I want that for you, too.

If it’s been too long since your family has been photographed together, I’d be honored to help you create something meaningful for your home.

Message me and we’ll start planning something beautiful.

Dance party first. Then “1, 2, 3, jump!”

This is why I don’t ask kids to sit still and force a smile. I want the movement, the giggles, the silly faces and the real personality.

Because this is the kind of portrait parents look at and say, “That is SO her.”

Message me the word JUMP if you want one for your child.
