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.

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...

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!

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...
