I live in Corpus Christi with my husband Kyle and our three wild + wonderful kiddos: Kade, Whitley, and Bryce! Being a wife and momma makes my world go 'round, and there is nothing that makes me happier than loving my tribe.
Welcome to my blog & website! I am so glad you are here. Whether you are a first-time visitor or an old friend, I hope you enjoy this space. I am a Coastal Bend portrait and lifestyle photographer, and it is my absolute joy to capture the special moments in the lives of those around me.

Photography isn't my only gig. I'm also a school teacher...4th & 5th grade math interventionist, to be exact. I love mathematics and enjoy helping students find their enthusiasm for the language of numbers as well.
I'm a lark...not a night owl. Waking up early and spending the first hour of my day being productive is a-maz-ing! Especially in those seasons of life where everything feels like a juggling act and the balls keep dropping. #thestruggleisreal
My heart. Who knew just how much three individuals could shape and mold my life?! They each have very different personalities which makes motherhood SO FUN (and at times a little crazy). They're all sweet, unique, and special in their own way. I'm beyond blessed to be their mama.
I don't know about you, but I've heard my fair share of "blind date" horror stories. Yikes! Luckily, the only blind date I ever went on ended with an "I do" and "happily ever after". Yay!
If I have one indulgence in life, it's food. Most days you'll catch me drinking coffee - HEB Texas Pecan or San Antonio blend. And the day wouldn't be complete without popcorn, of course. LOL
If you stick around, you'll get a taste of my style. For now, I'll leave you with this: I believe photography is so much more than simply looking at the camera and saying “cheese”. It’s capturing emotion in a way that is authentic and seemingly effortless in order to share real moments & relationships. It's truly an honor to tell your story, and I can't wait to celebrate this season!
