Senior | Wylie East High School Talyn,  a senior at Wylie East High School class of 2020 and a former cross country runner, is really into weight lifting, so we incorporated what he loves into his senior photos! Luckily, at his mom’s chiropractic office, there is also a weight room, so we started off the […]

Back Story Our paths crossed four years ago when she decided to take a photography class elective at school and I happened to be the teacher. Our class was super small so we got to spend a lot of time together that year! Not only did I enjoy her as an 8th grader, she also […]

Piano Portraits in Field Yes we got lots of crazy looks while Heidi’s dad and boyfriend unloaded the heavy piano off the back of a trailer! They placed it in an empty field in the middle of our busy city on a 100 degree evening in North Texas! We quickly prayed no snakes or chiggers […]

I arrived at Michaiah’s house Saturday morning so she, her parents, baby sister and I could all ride together to our Deep Ellum destination for her senior photo shoot. I’ve known Michaiah’s family for several years and I always love when I get to have extra time to talk with my clients before or after a session!   […]

  After I graduated from high school (Class of 1995!), I felt a little lonely. Many of my friends were going off to universities and I was just going to the local community college.   It was a season of growth and change though, and if I had gone off to the big schools I […]

At 6’1” my 5’8” frame felt really short next to Christian! On nature sessions I usually bring a stool for me to stand on so I’m not looking up at a tall client from that perspective, but our downtown Rockwall location had plenty of steps for me to get on, or for him to sit on, […]

As we were walking up to one of the photo locations for Kylie’s senior shoot this weekend, she informed me that she had just been to that very creek a few days before with her friends. I took her to the part I knew about because she said the part she was at just a […]

Sam had just entered a restaurant for an outfit change on her senior shoot and I waited on the sidewalk of a busy street in Deep Ellum and glanced down at my phone. The minute I lifted my head and looked up, I spotted a car driving slowly down the road directly in front of me […]

Already graduated from high school. Already directed some plays. Barista who knows how to mix up any coffee or tea you need Already has a clear idea of what she wants for her future (doula). Already taking college courses. Are you as impressed as I am with all that Chloe has already accomplished by age sixteen? […]

Do you remember the commercial of a dad giving his daughter the keys to the car and as she sat in the front seat, in his mind’s eye, he saw a little girl way too young to drive? That one gets me every time!   I’m sure that’s how a lot of my senior moms feel. Less […]

It was noisy, crowded, crazy, with people everywhere and no where to park. Even though I had my GPS, I didn’t know where I was or where to go next. I usually try to make sure that I check websites for client locations ahead of time to ensure that there is not a parade, festival, or big […]

Imagine my delight as I looked at the forecast a week before Saturday and saw a clear, sunny weekend ahead! Last month we had to reschedule way too many sessions due to deluge after deluge so I was ecstatic that we had a beautiful morning for senior portraits!   Now, my hat goes off to anyone who […]
