Take Your Vacation Photos to the Next Level

Filed in : For Photographers, Personal

Whether you’re a professional photographer, an amateur photojournalist, or a tourist with an iphone, we take so many pictures while on vacation because we want to be able to relive the best moments of our trip. At the end of a vacation, you’ve taken a handful of postcard-worthy photographs, but the photos in your album […]

Creating a Wedding Album

Filed in : LG Tips, Personal, Wedding

Our Favorite Gift We Gave This Christmas Hands down, the best Christmas presents my husband and I purchased this year were our wedding albums for our parents. Our wedding photography was one of my favorite things we invested in for our wedding (big surprise there, right??), so displaying the best photos in a well made, beautifully printed […]

Durango, Colorado Christmas Vacation

Filed in : Personal, Travel

I’ve been on some pretty great vacations – to Hawaii, Jamaica, Grenada, The Grand Canyon, the East Coast, Florida beaches – and in my three or so trips to Colorado, it’s proved to be one of my favorites every time. Like Austin, there’s a lot to do and a lot to see. But there, the […]

Best of 2016

Filed in : Personal

Despite every late night comedy show joking about how 2016 was the worst year ever, I think 2016 was one of my BEST years ever. I don’t know what those guys are talking about, but 2016 was awesome for me. To recap, here are some of the best parts of MY year: I GOT MARRIED […]

Ava’s Puppy Portraits

Filed in : Personal

Photographing dogs can be difficult. They want to explore, chase after at every unfamiliar sound and smell, put everything in their mouths, and usually aren’t the best at remembering what “sit” and “stay” mean when there’s a camera in front of them. Despite these challenges, taking what I call Puppy Portraits is really fun, and any time […]

24 Hours in Lubbock

Filed in : Personal

Oh, Lubbock. You’re ugly and you’re beautiful. You’re too windy, but you have the best sunsets. I spent 4 years in this dusty yet charming city while in college at Texas Tech. This weekend, Matt and I went back to Lubbock for a Red Raider football game for the first time in 2 years. We were only […]

One Year on My Balcony

Filed in : Personal

No, I did NOT spend an entire year trapped on my balcony (although that would be another interesting experiment), but I DID, however, spend a year photographing my balcony and the plants and animals around it. I think it’s good to have a long-term project running in the back of your mind, and when I moved into an apartment with […]

Throwback: Texas Tech Air Raiders

Filed in : Personal

Texas Tech has a lot of interesting clubs and organizations (quidditch team, steampunk society, archery, Pokemon, and literally hundreds more) but one of the coolest, and the most life-threatening, is the Air Raiders Skydiving Club. They meet up every so often to drive out to a small airport in Hobbs, New Mexico, and I joined […]

Bluebonnet Season

Filed in : Personal

It’s bluebonnet season in Texas, ya’ll! I can’t pass up a good field of wildflowers– especially ones that only last a few weeks and especially the state flower of Texas– so this weekend I drove through the Texas hill country and stopped at a couple spots along Highway 2244 and Highway 360 to shoot patches […]
