Photographs keep memories alive. Whenever I pick up a camera to photograph clients, I am conscious of this fact and feel honored to be in this profession. While attending college, I felt photojournalism was my calling but after working in the newspaper industry for 10 years, my focus began to change. Anticipating the arrival of my first child, I decided to leave my 9 to 5 to become a full-time mom. After about a year, I missed being behind a camera and needed a creative outlet again. It is now my absolute pleasure to work with families. 

As a photojournalist, I documented events as they happened and occasionally posed people for portraits. Now, the majority of my work involves posing people, directing them for the photograph. I seek out new locations for photo shoots and I keep an eye out for interesting props to incorporate into photographs. However, the photojournalist in me constantly watches for moments during a session for unposed photos, trying to capture people being themselves. This often leads to great candid photographs. 

If you live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, I'd love to hear from you so we can talk and design a plan about what style of photography you are interested in. I look forward to working with you!

Photojournalism
In addition to portraiture, I am also available to take a photojournalistic approach to unobtrusively photograph any event, celebration or milestone that may be going on in your life. The event may be as laid back as documenting a typical day at home with your family or a child's sporting event to various religious events such as a baptism or an intimate garden wedding. Photo sessions can be completely tailored to fit your needs.

On-location Session Fee: $300

The session includes 2 hours of service (travel time & photography) and all digital files of edited photos. It is the responsibility of the client to pay for any fees which may occur at the location (parking, admission, etc.) Family sessions includes immediate family members only. Extended family and/or friends are $10 per person.
