Why I do what I do

Life is all about the people we love and the amazing moments we share with them. It’s pretty awesome that I get to capture those moments for my clients. I love creating images that tell your story. Images that capture the essence of your love and personality. Images that make a moment in time last forever. That’s everything.

I currently live in McKinney, Texas and I'm available for travel worldwide. Adventure elopements and destination weddings are my fav!

When I'm not covering weddings I’m capturing all of life’s moments; events, proposals, engagement, family, maternity, and senior portrait photography in the DFW area.

About Me

I’ve always been told I look years younger than I am & it drove me crazy. That was until I fell in love with a guy 12 years younger than me. Yep! I know! Totally crazy! Crazier than our age gap is the fact that I found love again. I have been so blessed to have two great loves in my life. After loosing Johnny I never thought I would find love again. I guess it’s like they say, love finds you when you’re least expecting it.

I train Jiu Jitsu and that’s where I met my Brazilian, Theo. He actually arrived from Brazil the day I started training. It’s our little jiu jitsu love story. :)

If I’m not shooting a wedding I’m probably competing or training or seeking new adventure. I want to live my life, like really LIVE. I want to experience all that life has to offer, explore as much of the world as I can, & spend as much time as possible with my incredible family and friends.

Laughing is everything & laughing until I can’t breathe is the best! Make me laugh and I’ll love you forever! I’m super competitive and I take game nights a lil too seriously, but I’m always down to play.

I’m a lover of nature…the mountains are my fav. I always feel so inspired being outside. I love to look at the sky, day or night, and just breathe.

Other things I love::: 

My two boxers, peanut butter m&m’s, ice cream, acro yoga, running, climbing, scuba diving, trying new things, good books, sleeping when it rains, and lazy Netflix days.
