Though I’ve photographed these wonderful people several times, this time was different. Familiarity and comfort, combined with a picturesque backdrop, led to my ideal style of family photography. Minimal staging.  Lots of exploring.  Children playing. No perfected pose.  Wind in hair.  Genuine interaction. These are real moments.  Nothing contrived here.  They walk, I watched… and […]

  Where do I begin with Kristen & Brady’s Wedding?  I guess with where we met. Last year, I had the joy and privilege of photographing Katy & Hank‘s Cancun wedding.  Katy and Hank had introduced Kristen and Brady, who stood up in their wedding.  During the wedding rehearsal, Kristen and I sat next to each other and […]

Late last month, I met Mike & Morgan in downtown Denton, TX to shoot their engagement photos.  In late March, the sun is just starting to thaw winter’s chill. This evening in particular, the Northern winds kept whipping through Morgan’s golden hair, we’d have to pause, wait for it to stop or change locations. It was chilly […]

Family Lifestyle Session in Grapevine, Tx | Proctor Family | Fall 2014

This is my third year photographing The Proctor Family.  Every time, it is a privilege. Just as their girls have grown and changed, so have I as an artist. As I hone my craft, there are elements of risk required to grow. But you never know how it will be received. Will your clients appreciate […]

Fort Worth Lifestyle Session | Hine Family | Fall 2014

Beach, Children, Couples, Families, Family Lifestyle, Fort Worth, Fort Worth Lifestyle Photography, Lifestyle, natural light, Portraits, TX

The more I photograph people, the more I appreciate individuality. The uniqueness of each person, each family.  How they relate and interact… and the story they have to tell. I started off taking pictures of my own family, because I found the smallest nuances fascinating.  I think most parents feel that way about their little […]

I first met Kristen & Brady in paradise this summer.  Cancun, to be exact. I had the privilege of shooting their friend’s Hank & Katy’s Wedding on the beach, everything about it was perfect. Kristen and Katy have been friends since they were young, and because I love hearing people’s stories, I asked questions and […]
