Party of Five | An In-Home Family Session in ...

I had the wonderful opportunity to document an in-home session for this beautiful family in Dallas as they celebrated the arrival of their first son.

Stepping into their home, I was immediately greeted by a warm and loving atmosphere. Our time together unfolded naturally, capturing those genuine, unscripted moments that make in-home sessions so special. From showering their new baby brother with kisses and adoring looks to playfully jumping on beds and tickle attacks. One of their favorite daily routines is storytime with Dad, and I had the privilege of capturing that too.

Downtown Grapevine & Rockledge Park Family ...

It’s always an honor to watch a family grow over the years through my lens. I photographed this trio when their baby girl was just a couple of months old, and just like the last time, we had a blast together. We shot at two of my favorite Grapevine locations: Main Street and Rockledge Park. The Palace Arts Center made for a fun and colorful backdrop to begin our session, and just before sunset we moved to the rocky coastline of Rockledge to wander the cliffs and make some memories.

Cozy In-Home Family Session | Dallas Family ...

These laid-back, in-home family sessions are some of the most fun to photograph. It’s such a privilege to be invited into a client’s home to document the unique nuances of their family and those special moments that make up a childhood. This session was one for the books. From secret handshakes and daddy-daughter dances to imaginary under-the-sea excursions, these four allowed me to capture them as they truly are, forever freezing moments that their children will thumb through and cherish for a lifetime.

Grapevine Family Session at Rockledge Park

I knew from the moment I received their inquiry that I was going to have a great time photographing this family. They were looking for “a photographer that captures the in-between, genuine, non posed moments” and said “We see this in your work. We see your ability to capture life that jumps from the frame.” Their vision was perfectly aligned with what I strive to create: photographs that document the overwhelming love of family and fleeting smallness of a child.

Our session was at Rockledge Park on a particularly warm Fall evening. The cool, refreshing waves made for the perfect spot to splash around and document their love.

A Dallas Couple's Vacation Session in Turks ...

This vacation session in Turks and Caicos was magical! We spent an evening on the beach and swam around as the sun set over the clear blue water. The next morning we woke up early for a sunrise hike and found ourselves in a taxi in the pouring rain. Luckily, the weather let up just as we arrived at our destination, and we had a beautiful hike under cloudy skies with a refreshing drizzle of rain.

I love the portraits I was able to create for these two, vacation sessions are such a beautiful way to have your favorite memories preserved.

Taylor & Andrew | A Lakeside Maternity Session in Grapevine, Texas

,

I knew from the moment I got these two on the phone that this session was going to be a good time. We scheduled their maternity session on a holiday weekend at a popular park in Grapevine, and although the location was absolutely flooded with visitors (and literally flooded from all of this Texas rain), you’d never know it from looking at the images we were able to create.

Andrew seems to have a way of always keeping Taylor laughing, and the two of them were up for any adventure, from walking the trails in the nearly 100-degree heat to swimming in the lake at dusk. I’m so glad I had the opportunity to make magic with these two and I am so excited for them to meet their little one in September!

Charly & JD's Cloudy Sunset Session at Hunting Island State Park | DFW Travel Photographer

These two beautiful humans decided to take an evening to celebrate their love and document who they were in this chapter of their lives as a couple. Honestly, photographing married people like this is hands down, one of my FAVORITE kinds of sessions. No big occasion, no milestone date, just two people fiercely in love, putting immense value in investing in their legacy and taking the time to slow down and just pour into each other. Don’t get me wrong, anniversary sessions, vacation sessions, family sessions, I adore them all, but there’s just something so special about photographing two lovers “just because.”

Joe & Gianna's Philadelphia Elopement | DFW Destination Elopement Photographer

Nearly ten years ago, Gianna and Joe met at a job they shared working together at a golf course. She said he was easy to talk to and super down-to-Earth right from the start. He said she was more beautiful than anyone he’d ever met in his life. On a Friday night almost three years ago, they drove to Cape May to visit the Christmas Village at Congress Hall, and Joe proposed to Gianna right outside in front of the Christmas Tree.

Their wedding day was laid back, relaxed, and oh-so beautiful - it was such an honor and a privilege to bear witness.
