Families & Kids
I shot my husband.
Not too long ago Bill and I were either driving in the car or sitting in bed, or one of those places where toddlers are either in bed asleep or tied down and thus somewhat distracted. He looked at me and said, “you know, you’ve never photographed me”. And other than just shooting our lives and…
Read MoreBaby Judah and His Family, a Spring, TX Newborn Photo Session
This is a family who is near and dear to my heart. They were some of the first people to reach out to us when we moved (back) to Houston. They took us out to lunch after church one Sunday, neither of us had kids yet and Bill and I had only been married for…

1. SMELL – Remember how we were sick? We’re all pretty much back to normal over here. All except I can’t smell anything. Yes. You read that right. It sounds like an excellent thing to be without when changing a poopy diaper or when the dog lets out a nasty fart, but other than those things it’s…
Read MoreThe Rodriguez Family – A Sun Soaked Winter Family Photo Session
Lori found me through Instagram, through a mutual friend, which kind of blows my mind and totally makes me critique every photo I’ve ever posted on Instagram. It turns out we know a lot of the same people from childhood and on. The world is so small when you get right down to it. Lori…
Read MoreBack in the Game
Like I’ve said before summer time is dead season for me, photography wise, but as soon as fall hits, right around mid October, it’s game time. This fall photo season started off with a bang, a birthday bang, some sugar, and cake everywhere. My nephew Brandon turned one and I helped celebrate how any photographer…
Read MoreA Maternity Photo Session and What I Learned About Chiggers
Maternity sessions are quickly becoming one of my favorite sessions to shoot. I didn’t really appreciate them as much until I was pregnant. I know the emotion and the excitement and the fear first hand and it makes each maternity session all the more exciting. It truly is a celebration of the couple, and their…
Read MoreA Photographer, In Front of the Camera
It’s rare that I am in front of a camera. At family events, through daily life and on instagram I am the one behind the camera, it’s rare that you’ll see a picture of me. The last professional photos we had of us together (other than the mini photos we took to do the pregnancy reveal)…

I can’t remember what shoot I was on where I finally said to myself, “I can’t do this successfully alone.” I want to say it was back in 2009, in Tulsa at a wedding I was shooting. I could have the dates wrong, but I’m pretty sure it was right around that time. I immediately…
Read MoreLoving Newborn Photography
I would not call myself a newborn photographer. I’ve always said my favorite things to shoot are couples, seniors, and families. It’s what we specialize in. It’s what I know. But my couples eventually have babies and they want me to take their picture too (there is nothing more honoring than this). So over the…
Read MoreRiann’s One Year Photo Session
I can not believe Riann is a year old. It seems like only yesterday we were at the farm shooting Kristen’s maternity photos and Riann’s newborn pictures (even though she was several weeks old cause decided to come extra early), and then her six month pictures. I’m going to blink my eyes and then I’ll…
