We don’t always realize how meaningful photos are until seasons start changing. What inspires me most isn’t perfection — it’s people, connection, and documenting life as it unfolds from one chapter to the next.

I believe the best photos aren’t posed. From wedding days filled with emotion to the golden days of building a life together, I focus on what’s real — the in-between moments that often end up meaning the most.

No matter the season you’re in, I want your images to reflect it honestly. Natural, meaningful, and never forced.

What inspires me

for the moments that make a life feel lived.

Jace and I met at a bar in 2019—the classic “we just bumped into each other” moment. And yep, that’s exactly what happened. I asked him to dance, and he turned me down. Not one to give up, I asked again… and again. Finally, on the third try, he said yes. From that moment, we’ve been inseparable.

Fast forward to March 6, 2021, when we eloped to Sedona, Arizona, and it was hands down the best day of my life. It was intimate, stress-free, and completely focused on us—just the way I dreamed it would be. Falling in love with Jace didn’t just change my life, it changed the way I see the world. He’s my fiercest supporter, my partner in crime, and also pretty dang good with a camera!

We live on a ranch in the Texas Panhandle with our two dogs, right on the Canadian River, soaking up all the little moments that make life sweet.

our Love story

My dog, Solomon, is my little adventure buddy! Whether we’re traveling to shoots, walking the ranch, or learning new tricks, he’s always by my side—crazy dog mom life (IYKYK), and I love it!

01

I’ve always been a Texas Tech fan, but when Mahomes went pro, I started paying way more attention to the NFL. If the Chiefs are playing, you’ll definitely find me yelling at the TV and hoping for another Super Bowl win!

02

My great-gma said I couldn’t get married until I drank coffee—joke’s on her, I got married anyway! I didn’t start drinking coffee until I was 29, but now I’m all about cold brew, learning espresso, and trying to nail latte art—gotta romanticize life with good coffee!

03

I love to travel, but I also love being home. So far, Zion National Park is hands down my favorite place I’ve been—it’s epic!

04

Occasionally, I break out of horse girl retirement to rope with Jace. It’s something we both enjoy, and while I’d rather rope calves, I don’t mind turning a few steers now and then!

05

Spooky szn is my szn! Jace and I dress up as something funny every year, and Halloween shoots are my favorite creative outlet!

06

I love to cook, especially living in the middle of nowhere—you’ve gotta get creative since you can’t just go out and try something new. I’m definitely not a baker, but I’ll cook up a good meal any day!

“We immediately felt comfortable in front of the camera with her. She captured our personalities and the surrounding area so well. She helped pose us throughout the whole shoot which was super helpful because we have no idea what we are doing. We were so excited and impressed with her photos!”
