It’s November, y’all. And that means time to gather your humans for the annual holiday card photo. But since 2020 has been one heck of a year, maybe this year we spice it up, because why not? There are no rules anymore and if you want to put on your mermaid tails and get in...
Planning a wedding during a pandemic has not been easy for so many people this year.

Hop in your car and head west out of Houston and once you’re out of the city, and past suburbia, you’ll make your way into the quiet country towns that make Texas what it is. The farms and ranches are spread across these areas by the dozens. And if you’re lucky enough to have one...
In early March, before the whole world went into a tailspin with the COVID19 pandemic, I had the honor of documenting a beautiful marriage proposal here in Houston.

When it comes to planning a wedding in Maine, I am unabashedly partial to the Midcoast area. This is the part of Maine where I grew up. It holds a very special place in my heart. From Bath to Belfast, this is where many of my childhood memories were made. It’s no wonder that most...
I’m going to be honest with all of you; I’m pretty exhausted! I was out in Las Vegas last week for WPPI, a conference for professional photographers. It’s been eight years since I was last at this event and, boy, has it changed! It’s smaller, more intimate (as intimate as you can be with 8,000...
