Houston Engagement Photographer – Kim and Nando

I met Kim and Nando after joining the Sugar Cycles Factory cycling team 3 years ago. Along with racing in triathlon events around the state of Texas I also take my camera out and shoot our teammates competing in specialties that I would rather watch i.e. cyclocross and crit racing. Shooting these events lead Kim to check out the website. Along with sharing countless jokes after Saturday morning sweat fests, Kim also like my fine art wedding and portrait work...

Missouri City Portrait Photographer – Jonny Love

I went to high school with Jonny's father Brian but had lost touch with him for over 10 years. By chance, we got together via some mutual friends and ended up chatting for quite a while.

Houston Family Photography with Deborah and Jules

As a three time cancer survivor, Deborah is one of the strongest women I have ever met. She is so upbeat, energetic and always willing to help a neighbor out. Deborah grew up in a home in Houston where family photography was and still is very important. She has told me of 40" x 60" prints of her parents that the family still values as treasured possessions. After investing in a 24" x 36" canvas photograph from her session, Deborah's legacy...
