WELCOME!

While my initial dreams were to become a Hollywood starlet or radio's newest pop sensation, plan B was to become a nurse because I wanted to help & nurture people. Unfortunately, after one day of shadowing a nurse, I learned that my stomach was a little too sensitive and my knees a little too weak.

At the tender age of sixteen and pondering what to do next, while I was waiting for my choir class to begin, something magical happened. A fellow student showed me her contact sheets and I was immediately enthralled by this sheet of paper with tiny, rectangular images. That was it, I was sold. I signed up for photography the next day and that, my friends, is how I was fated to be a photographer.

I went on to receive my Bachelor of Fine Arts in photography from the Herron School of Art in Indianapolis, Indiana. I have had the opportunity to photograph everything from theatrical productions to product shots to births. And while my deeds have not been within the walls of a hospital, I still believe that I am helping & nurturing people through capturing their most intimate moments in life. Preserving moments in time, that quite simply put, are as quick as a breath.

Evan – 9 Months | Houston Texas Family Photographer

The last time I traveled to Indiana was June 2012 to welcome the newest member of our family. My sister gave birth to her second child, a son named Evan, and he was beautiful – dark hair, chubby cheeks – a real butterball of a baby. I was able to photograph him within his first week of life, capturing that sweet newborn essence we long to hold onto. His smell was amazing and his hair soft as down. I could have snuggled with him for hours.

Fast forward nine months. While the newborn details we “ooohhh’d” and “awww’d” over are barely traceable (tear), he has grown into such a precious little guy with a deep-throated laugh and a smile that would charm the stars.
