Nichole + Arron Engagement | Fort Worth Stockyards | Fort Worth, Texas

I have known Nichole since high school and had been hearing about Arron and their relationship for a while and was delighted for Nichole when she had posted that they were engaged! I had a blast shooting their engagement session and can't wait to shoot their wedding at the end of the month!

Mia Italian Tapas and Bar | Austin, Texas

I swung by Mia for a photo shoot with some of these beautiful dishes and had a blast shooting them! The ones below, I took creative liberties and tweaked the background to accent the dishes!

Erick + Joe | Engagement and Wedding | Hope Gallery and Umlauf Sculpture Garden | Austin, Texas

I have known Erick for many many years (via facebook by way of Stephen) and was honored and excited when he asked me if I would shoot his wedding! Erick and Joe are so comfortable and sweet with each other that photographing them and was such a breeze! Their love for each other just shines through.

Website overhaul!

So it's been over a year since I've posted to the blog and a few years since I've revamped the website... so visitors, soon, we will have a website brimming with new editorial content, sports action, weddings, food, and everything else in between! In the meantime, have a soccer picture! :)

May 2016 - Whole Foods Market magic

So according to my blog it would appear that I've fallen off the face of the earth! But in fact, that's not true at all! At some point in mid February, I got offered an amazing opportunity to work with Whole Foods Market's Southwest Regional office to shoot a variety of things.

After a few trial and errors and learning from my mistakes we've been churning out some fun and beautiful photos! I can't wait to see what else we get to create! This past Tuesday's shoot was my favorite shot so far, so keep an eye out of those!

09/28/15- Food Blog

When we got married we got introduced to a wonderful baker who not only made our vegan wedding cake and cupcakes but turned out to become a really great friend.

We've worked on projects together, I got to photograph her home birth and now we are merging our passions and talents of baking and photography together to bring you a food blog with a focus on vegan and gluten free baked good items!
