Lindsay and Mariano’s Magnolia Terrace Wedding took place on Friday the 13th. For most people, this date symbolizes bad luck, but to Lindsay and Mariano, it’s actually a date that is meaningful and special to them. Now, it’s officially their anniversary! Their wedding day was simple, vibrant, and had a touch of a whimsical charm. […]

River Legacy Park is, hands down, one of my top 10 favorite parks in Dallas/Fort Worth. I used to go exploring there at my time while studying photography at UTA. There are many trails and views of the Trinity River that make the perfect background for photos. Lindsey and Brett met up with me to […]

southlake wedding photographer

Lori and Adam’s wedding reception at The Marq Southlake was an absolute blast! I was also very glad to sneak out for a few more bride and groom portraits at golden hour. Their first dance was choreographed to mimic one of their favorite dances from Dancing With the Stars! They even had their favorite ice […]

Lori and Adam’s Whites Chapel UMC wedding in Southlake, Texas was elegant, simple, and laid back. We did something a little different and started with portraits immediately (which I was all for!). I had the honor of photographing their rehearsal dinner the night before, so it was great to work with familiar faces when we […]

McKinney Flour Mill

Lora and Allan’s wedding ceremony took place at the Church of Christ on McDermott Road, and their reception was held at The McKinney Flour Mill in Mckinney, TX. Allan’s love of cat shirts and Lora’s love of Parks & Recreation and 30 Rock made it into their wedding vows which, as an appreciator of all […]

Leilani and Kevin had already had a pre-wedding photo session with me, but that didn’t take away any of the specialness of their wedding day. When Leilani initially met with me, she told me they were planning on […]

deep ellum engagement

Lora and Allan’s Deep Ellum engagement session took place on a foggy February morning earlier this year. They were absolute troopers meeting up with me so early on a Sunday morning! I am not a morning person but Deep Ellum is one of those places where it’s worth it to meet up early. For one […]

Emily and Nick graciously offered to pose for portraits on our trip to Durango, CO. I’m always inspired by visiting new places with different landscapes from DFW, Texas! The mountains are especially inspiring, as is the brisk summer weather. We absolutely travel for sessions! Reach out today to inquire!

white rock lake

White Rock Lake in Dallas, TX is one of my favorite locations to take pictures at! There are so many hidden little places to find around the actual lake itself. Lindsay, Mariano, and their kids met up with me for some group portraits and engagement photos. You can tell that our session was in early […]

Bella Donna Chapel McKinney TX

Bella Donna Chapel in McKinney, TX could practically be in another country! It’s an absolutely stunning venue to get married in, especially if you want to experience what feels like a European-style chapel right here in North Texas. Leilani and Kevin decided to do a pre-wedding session with me when we first met since their […]
