Photography related background
My photography is the art of storytelling through the lens. As a mother of four I attended college to complete my photography degree and build a life doing what I love and capturing the beauty of family and love through my camera. Once-in-a-lifetime memories aren't given a second opportunity to be photographed. I ensure those intimate moments are held close to your heart with portraiture to help tell the story long after the moment has passed. Photography has always been in my heart, in 2011 I started working as a Houston based photographer and expanded to open my El Campo Location in 2017. Since Opening here my work has been featured on Inside edition, People, Good Morning America, ABC, The Knot, Fox News, inside edition and more.

Owner/Photographer
Let me introduce you to my beautiful family. I have 4 amazing children; from left to right- Keanen, Kendal, Aisley, my loving husband & co wedding photographer Shaun, Myself, and last but not least youngest son Ashton.
My family has supported my career every step of the way and are by far my biggest fans. I appreciate every second with my family and understand the value of these moments.
As you can guess my children are very use to having their portraits taken and these are by far, my most prized collection of works.
