Alex and Ashley are my long time friends. I’ve known Ashley since we were in 5th grade! Then she started dating Alex in high school, so naturally, I’ve known him since then too.
We have lots of stories to tell from all these years, but my favorite one I love to tell is how she led me back to Christ.

I am so excited to announce that I will be offering beach sessions this summer! I did my own family’s session last year at South Padre Island, and I would love to photograph some amazing families there this summer.
I have three dates available. Two are in South Padre Island, which is about 5 hours away from San Antonio, and one date is in Corpus Christi (close to North Padre Island), which is about 2 hours away from San Antonio.
The exact location is TBD.
For more information, read more in this post.
Continue reading “Beach Sessions | South Padre Island + Corpus Christi”I know.. we live in Texas. It’s hot.
It’s been getting up to 85 to 90 degrees and it already feels so hot.
But I do want to offer some session options for summer.
You’re probably already going to the splash pad or pool/lake with your kids. Now you can bring me along and capture some really fun moments of your family.
You can pair this with a family session and then have the kids change and have fun in the water, or just have me come along for part of your summer fun.

As a mom, capturing candid moments of my boys, Ethan Jacob and Andrew Jeremiah, growing up has been so fulfilling.
From their first moments in the hospital to walking and now playing and wrestling together and all the in between has been so much fun.
Continue reading “What is family lifestyle photography?”I hadn’t been to the San Antonio Botanical Garden in forever, and I’m not sure if I’ve even photographed here before.
So when Bianca, my longtime client, asked to go to take family photos, I was all about it. I love exploring new spots.
We went during winter and right after the snow storm, and even so, it was green and vibrant!
Mother’s Day is almost here (May 9), so this means it’s time for Motherhood Sessions!
Motherhood Minis are 30 minute sessions just for moms and your babies.
Isn’t it true that we always get great photos of our husband and kids or just kids? But how many times do we get in front of the camera? And everyone is smiling…
Yup! Usually never, unless it’s a quick selfie.
Let me handle getting everyone to look at the camera and capture those intimate moments of you and your babies (without having to convince dad to come along haha).
Continue reading “Motherhood Minis”We made it through the snowpocalypse! But I think we are all enjoying the sunshine, am I right?!
This means spring is right around the corner and what a beautiful time for photos.
If you’re interested in a family session, my Saturday availability is below.
These sessions are usually 1-2 hours. I love having the time and freedom to get comfortable with your family, especially little ones, warm up, walk around, find great, new spots, catch the sunlight, have fun, play, and get all the amazing photos!

Social media breaks can be so beneficial, and if you’ve never done one, I encourage you to incorporate them regularly. I plan to.
At the beginning of the year, I felt God tug on me to do this break. I had done them for a few hours or half a day. I had done it with Facebook, where I deleted the application, but then found myself consumed with YouTube. I knew I needed a complete shut off from all of the voices that were coming at me.
I needed to shut off all of the commentary, opinions, sellers, trends, competitors.
I needed to shut it all off because I was having a hard time hearing the voice of the One who matters.
Continue reading “What I Learned From My Social Media Break”He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. 5 But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.”

It’s Andrew’s birthday today, and I felt like writing a short reflection about this day because it’s more than just a birthday for me. It’s a reminder of what I went through.
Andrew is a promise fulfilled. It’s amazing to be able to hold a tangible promise in my arms. And the fact that he is a literal ball of joy is simply wonderful.
He is such a gift to our family and I’m just so grateful to God for being so faithful in this journey of motherhood — the good and difficult.
