Our Jenny girl got engaged and of course I had to document it! These were actually just for fun because Jack had a vision of doing an engagement shoot in the water at the beach and that content is right up my area of expertise. It was really fun. We drank beer and played in the ocean at sunset, what more could you ask for in a shoot?

I shot some photos of my baby cousin (who looks freakishly like me) at our great grandmother’s ranch house in south Texas.
My mom calls these her “flowers.” I shot these to make prints to hang inside her house.
So I shot this film on Maui back in 2017. I finished a roll of film - forgot to rewind it - and popped the back of my camera open in broad daylight. I was mad at myself initially but once I got the photos back I decided I was gonna pop the back open a little more often.
Shot on my favorite film camera ever, my Nikon 8008s. I can’t remember what kind of film I used but probably regular shmegular kodak 400. A lot of these photos didn’t make it in my Notes on Italy coffee table book so I’m excited to show them off here.
Snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef was one of our top priorities when we made our first trip to Australia. We honestly we’re sure if there would be any reef to see because we had heard that it was “dead”. Well, we’re here to tell you that it’s not. It’s alive and well. We shot these photos on an ancient waterproof disposable camera our aunt found in a drawer and I’m thoroughly surprised at how well they turned out.
We went to Spell while in Byron Bay and took some photos in a palm tree forest. Shot on Kodak Portra.
We squeezed a trip to Australia in just a couple months shy of the world shutting down and Australia not letting anyone in the country. It was (quite literally now) a once in a lifetime experience.
Shooting in a historic hotel completely changed the location game for me.
I got to travel to Iceland to shoot content for winter weddings with some fellow photographers I was interning under. A lot of these images were shot on film but a few are from my iphone or my sony a7rii.
My original yoga muse! And my best friend.
Lexi needed some college graduation photos and we just so happened to be going to Maui so… we went big.
More of my swimwear muse Caylanne Swim - shot for the NIKKI + LOLA set drops.
My awesome friend made some awesome designs for an awesome grip tape company. She is the coolest and here is photographic proof.
My Jenny girl! She’s my adopted little sister but she looks more like me than my actual sister. We shot these when she graduated from Texas A&M which officially made her my mom’s favorite daughter.
This was a little passion project/birthday gift for the BBQ Nazi, (as the local Sam’s Club dubbed him) Danny Williams. The Williams family owned and operated Texas BBQ for many years and just recently sold so these photos are extra special. I spent many years hanging out in the back of “the BBQ Shack” from jr. high through college and beyond. I love these folks and I swore when they closed I would never eat bbq again unless Danny made it.
Every few years I volunteer for my local county fair’s photography committee and it’s honestly one of my favorite things to shoot. I grew up being very involved in the fair and it was always a big deal for my family every year. The money I made throughout my years at the Montgomery County Fair really helped me once I got to college and this is how I like to show my gratitude and give back.
This was my first maternity shoot and I really loved it. We flew all the way to the rainforest for these photos! Gosh I love my ~ adventurous ~ clients.
I got a wild opportunity to take a 200hr yoga teacher training in exchange for taking photos for content creation. It was such an amazing experience and I’m so thankful I landed this opportunity. Shooting in a yoga class was challenging because it’s kind of taboo to take photos during a class but I eventually found my footing and I love the way they turned out. There’s shots throughout the 2 month course from beginning to end.
I found a little niche in shooting content for yoga instructors and it was always so much fun. We constructed it like a “mini’s” session and it was really nice for the yoga teachers to have content to post. Also, yogi’s are great at posing, who woulda thought?
I got to shoot some yoga content for this sweet gal before she moved with her husband to Thailand! She wanted some fresh photos for her blog and website, to which I was happy to oblige.
We shot these for Caylanne’s first drop: the CORA set.
Revolution Studio’s Fall/Winter Line
Just some Kihei palms

It’s nice when your whole extended family is also obsessed with Hawaii.
This is what I did for fun in college. Quite honestly, it really helped shape me as an artist. I should note these photos were taken circa 2013.
