Blog + Journal

Bro, do you even blog??

So, I’ll be the first to admit. These blogs take a butt-load of effort to create. Maintaining a website from scratch with zero web-design experience is a steep learning incline. The professionals demand, “Thou shall blog,” but it took me over a year after my website launched to actually start following that command.

It. Is. Sooooooo. Worth. It.

Sharing my thoughts, personal experiences and memories from photography and my clients is both cathartic and refreshing. I get to lay my heart out here to the world. This an integral piece of me that I hope you can scroll through and enjoy in a way that Instagram and other quick-fire social media platforms do not allow.

So go ahead, scroll away. I’ve got blogs for various aspects of photography, so be sure to look for those categories – Wedding Decor Inspo, Photo Session Locations, Elopements, Surprise Engagements – the whole spiel + more. I’m SO excited that you’re here!

Veil or no veil? Honestly, it’s up to you. I LOVE a good veil moment (I mean, look at these two 🤩🤩) Veils allow us photogs an extra prop to play around with and incorporate into your photos. But veils can also be tedious to always readjust an
I was recently chatting with a wedding vendor about visibility in wedding media. Texas, y’all really lack in the diversity department and you know it. 😅 It’s a BIG priority for me to showcase people of all colors, shapes, sizes, cultures
Sometimes you just have to brave the Texas summer heat and smile through the sweat 😂 But these two laughed it off together and make it through their sunset engagement session ✨ ALSO I just timed myself because I want to see how long it takes to ed
Does anyone ever scroll through old photos and get shivers thinking about how much has changed, how time has zipped by, and how crazy it is to see what has been, what has led up to where you are today? When I made the move from my home in Hawai&rsqu
Something magical about those First Dance moments. I love the layers of textures here - the raindrops (yes it was drizzling!!), the cold sparks display, the hanging cafe lights, the greenery, their SMILES 😁 When the wait for your wedding is over 2
This day, this couple, this sunset. ☀️ No matter how beautiful your wedding is, if your photos only highlight “perfect” poses, then what will you remember 50 years from now when you look back? For some people, that’s what they wan
Here’s a nod to our post-wedding wet-the-dress session in Hawai’i because it’s the best thing ever and these photos never fail to make me smile ☺️ Not sure what couples do here in Dallas for an equivalent trash-the-dress photoshoot
Being a business owner means juggling ALL the roles at once - I thought being a wedding photographer meant getting to take pretty pictures of people in love, but that’s actually only about 10% of what I do. 🤣 So I’m sending all my fell
A big round of applause for all the Dads, the fatherly figures, the guys who do it right by the women around them, and those who pour into others selflessly. My Dad (who is a big reason why I got into photography in the first place) is an amazing exa
Dream wedding 🤍✨ These two named their theme “Bridgerton meets Hawai’i” and I absolutely LOVED their efforts (so many DIY aspects involved!!) and hearts for making their big day the best it could be for themselves and their loved o
