It was really neat to get to learn a bit about each artist so I create a one page promo sheet that would represent them well. Below are a few of my favorite creations.

  1. all the stress of the wedding is over
  2. you get to wear your dress again
  3. you don’t have to worry about getting the dress dirty–meaning more opportunities to get great shots

morgan is so precious and i always enjoy our time together. her mom came along and was awesome at fixing hair, veils and trains and making us laugh. glad i got to photo morgan’s gorgeousness again!

will got to be super tall on his daddy’s shoulders and fly in his mom’s arms.


he gave us advice at the general store and we all shared lots of laughs.


we smiled some more and also ate some sticks.



this little guy was thoroughly intrigued by my flash–blinking red lights and bright flashes–who wouldn’t be?!




they’re such a sweet family. glad i got to help them capture another stage in their lives. i love getting to work with clients over the years as their families grow–it doesn’t seem like it was three years ago that I was taking katy and bruce’s engagement photos.

little fingers and toes are so so cute!

It’s always nice to have powerful images to use in publicity materials, and usually also presents a fun challenge to see how I can crop, combine, or otherwise alter how people view those photographs. Brazos Dance Collective is a modern dance collective in Bryan-College Station that I used to dance with and still am involved with as much as possible. They’re having a show this weekend and it’s sure to be amazing. Find out more about the show here.

It’s always fun to happen upon my work in neat places, so I thought I’d share.

I shot the cover photo as well as photos for the article on Business Honors. (There’s also another write up about the Red Dress Sticket award I won, also.) It’s always fun to see your work cropping up places.
