This spring I met up for socially distanced drink and a stroll through Hermann Park in Houston with Jen and Chandler to celebrate their recent engagement. We met at one of their favorite restaurants where Chandler had proposed a few short weeks prior. These two were absolutely delightful, laid back, and have the most wonderful...
Once a couple has decided to hire me to be their wedding photographer, one of the first things we decide is whether or not they are going to do engagement photos. I’ve talked about this topic a lot on various social media outlets, but it warrants saying again, I truly do believe that this session...
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.

Hiring a proposal photographer in Houston So you’re thinking about proposing to the person you want to spend the rest of your life with. That’s so exciting! So much thought and planning can go into that moment. Where do you do it? What time of day? Do I want it to be private or out...
Spring wedding proposal in Hermann Park February is still winter on our calendars…unless you live in a place Houston, TX. Springlike weather comes rather early around here, and on the first weekend in February we had our first peek at that perfect, spring weather.

The top floor neighbor ends up inviting the first floor neighbor up for safety from the flooding and before you know it they start dating. This is the story of Alex and Chris. When hurricane Harvey was wrecking havoc...
Caitlin and Erin didn’t have a precise plan to end up in Houston, but these two driven, intelligent women have found a home, not only in the city that they now love, but with each other. It was only fitting that their portraits reflect how much this dingy, beautiful, complicated city means to them. We...
Just before Christmas I had the pleasure of hearing from Trevor. He called to let me know that he was proposing to his girlfriend, Haley, out in the courtyard of their apartment in a few days, and wanted to know if I could document the big moment. Of course I said yes! I joined him...
Summer is here and my season is packed full of travel back home to New England. We just returned to Houston from our family vacation in Maine, and three days later I was back on a plane headed back to Boston. It’s a full weekend of photographing a wedding for a client in Belmont, as...
Rebekah and Matt joined me on a gorgeous spring day in Houston, albeit a bit hot, and we wondered around some of our favorite spots in Buffalo Bayou Park for their engagement photos. These two are so fun and were an absolute joy to photograph. They are such naturals in front of the camera! I...
I started off my 4th of July holiday weekend with a visit to Great Cranberry Island to spend the afternoon with these lovely people. Here is a quick preview of a few of my favorites from Chloe and Jason’s engagement session yesterday. More to come soon!

When we met each other this January they expressed to me that they wanted to do photos...
On this very chilly Tuesday I wanted to share with you all an equally chilling experience I had this past month. For the very first time I got to photograph a proposal as it happened!! It was such a neat experience; I may have squealed a little bit. Andrew reached out to me and told...
Happy March, dear readers! You know what they say about the month of March. In like a lion, out like a lamb. Although this month is shaping up to be pretty busy for me and I’m very excited about that. Like I said last time I wrote, I truly don’t believe there really is such...
