M is One | Colleyville Nature Center portrait session

It’s hard to believe it was only a little over a year ago that I photographed this little guy’s parents as they awaited his arrival. Just like their outdoor maternity session in Grapevine we enjoyed some wonderfully mild weather for this lifestyle portrait session celebrating his new status as a…

February favorites | DFW documentary photographer

On March 2, 2016, Posted by , In documentary,personal, With No Comments

Here are a few favorites from my personal documentary photography in the month of February. Sometimes the here and now includes birthdays and zoo trips and sometimes it’s pretending to be a super hero or playing with Daddy’s old LEGOs. It all added up to make a wonderfully full February….

Documenting the Difficult | guest post at Emily Megan Photography

On February 15, 2016, Posted by , In documentary,personal, With No Comments

At the heart of my storytelling photography is a desire to document the here and now, even when the moment (or season) is less than perfect. When Emily McClure of Emily Megan Photography asked if I would be interested in writing a guest post I knew that I wanted to…

Mathison Family | Flower Mound family photographer

On February 9, 2016, Posted by , In family, By , , With No Comments

One of the neat things about getting to do a portrait session for another photographer is that they often pick a fun location (a creek full of rocks and ledges) and select great outfits (coordinating but not too matchy) for their family. By the way, see Mom’s heels? I hope…

January favorites | DFW documentary photographer

On February 4, 2016, Posted by , In documentary,personal, With No Comments

Each month I want to share a few of my favorite personal images. None of these are staged and they mean far more to me than any perfectly posed photos I may (or may not!) have gotten that month. It seems the theme for much of January was reading–such a…

Silva Family | Grapevine Family Lifestyle Session

On December 17, 2015, Posted by , In family,lifestyle, By , , With No Comments

It makes a family photo session extra special when you’ve known the family for years. In fact, I photographed all three children as newborns. They’re an exuberant, fun-loving family who is always quick to give great hugs. I think we captured images that showcase those very attributes during a lifestyle…

Penny & Brian | Highland Village Boho Chic Maternity Session

On October 4, 2015, Posted by , In maternity, By , With No Comments

I was quite excited when Penny and Brian agreed to do their maternity session at a new location I’d discovered. Extra bonus points to them for getting up early on a Saturday morning! Morning sessions are great for Texas summers. You can beat the heat and still get pretty light…

Start Them Young | storytelling photography

On September 18, 2015, Posted by , In documentary,personal, With No Comments

Ever since he was a little guy Andrew has loved looking out the window and watching Keith or the neighbors do yardwork. When his grandma got him a little toy mower he was ecstatic and he has spent quite a bit of time going, “mow, mow, mow!” around the house. …

Van Kooten Family | Lewisville family photographer

On June 12, 2015, Posted by , In family,lifestyle, By , With No Comments

Do you remember this beautiful soon to be mama? Cherie and Ian welcomed baby M to the family 5 months ago. Isn’t he handsome? While they were in town we set up a quick family photo session at a beautiful greenway in Lewisville. Cherie and Ian know baby M will…

Ian & Cherie | Grapevine Lake Maternity Session

During their brief Thanksgiving week trip to DFW from Colorado, we were able to squeeze in a botanical gardens and Grapevine Lake maternity session in for my very favorite sister-in-law and her husband. (Okay, she’s my only sister-in-law but she really is awesome.) Thanks to fabulous Texas weather we were…
