Getting to work with couples from the moment they get engaged is such a highlight of my job! Proposal photos are so fun, because they’re truly candid. Engagement photo sessions allow us to slow down, do some extra planning (that includes the person who got proposed to!), and make the photos our main focus. Ben […]

Meet Renee! We took her senior photos last October, and it deserves a spot on the blog! We took her senior photos in and around the Texas Capitol. I love this location, because there’s so much to it. Of course, the building is massive and beautiful, but on the grounds you can also find pretty […]

Wineries may be my personal favorite place for proposals.

Bella’s aunt & uncle are members of several wineries around the hill country, and they know all […]

We took their photos at the beautiful Sekrit Theater greenhouse in East Austin, and the venue fit their vibe perfectly. Their baby is due […]

Audrey & Christopher are married! 🥳 I couldn’t wait for this wedding after photographing Christopher’s proposal, their engagement photos, and Audrey’s bridals. They were married at Magnolia Bells, outside of Houston. Coming from Austin, Magnolia Bells was such a nice change of pace. The entire property sits in a forest of tall pine trees. Wooden […]

Meet Solange! She’s graduating from high school this semester, and we took her senior photos at one of my favorite locations. It happened to be the peak of wildflower season, and we were surprised by the variety of amazing flowers! It was super hot and humid, but that actually created a cool hazy look over […]

Ciara & Carl are married! 🥳 It was raining, or at least misting, the entire day. Actually, it rained for days on either side of their wedding too. Despite rain falling while taking all of these photos, Ciara & Carl were such great sports about it. Yes, their hair was wet. Ciara’s dress train was […]

How in the world have I not shared Alicia & Ethan’s engagement photos yet?? That’s a testament to how insanely busy my Spring was. But IT’S TIME. Sekrit Theater + South Congress… What a great combo. 😄 They brought their adorable pug (and their pug wrangle/sister), which made their photos even more fun. I’m also […]
