Everything Photography

Everything in my creative journey began with a deep passion for photography back in 2001, and since then, I've never ceased to be captivated by its allure. Over the years, I've diversified my portfolio, delving into various genres and expanding my expertise to include video production. I thrive on the diversity of projects and refuse to confine myself to a single style. Therefore, if you have a vision waiting to be captured through the lens, don't hesitate to reach out to me.

Home Sweet Home

A variety of homes accented with outdoor lighting

LBJ Lake House (Copy) — LBJ Lake House

This place I hold close to my heart. A lot of blood, sweat and tears went into this home and even more memories came out of it. I’ll be sad to see it go.

This was the "model" home (Copy) — This was the "model" home

The owners dog was very photogenic that night, if you weren’t already aware.

House on a Hill (Copy) — House on a Hill

This home is quite lovely. It even has its own full court gym behind where I’m shooting from. I suck at both volleyball and basketball, but it’s still nice to have the option to mess around.

What a lovely back yard. Would you look at it! Just look at it!

I need to buy a lotto ticket.

This house was absolutely beautiful. Too much house, but beautiful none the less!

A little birds eye view of this epic property.

Fredericksburg, TX (Copy) — Fredericksburg, TX

Backed up to a pretty large pond, this place is like a little get-away village. So beautiful and very peaceful. Doing this shoot was therapeutic to some extent.

Don’t like fire pits? They have a fireplace as well, so don’t worry 👌🏼

Just a little shoot with a huge house/property! I loved this piece of property and everything on it.

From gardens to log cabins

Cosmic Coffee (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) — Cosmic Coffee

Great coffee and great food. Coffee is inside, but outside they have two food trucks serving until later in the evening. All of which will send you into outer space. See what I did there?

This place is gorgeous, but this sculpture was by far my favorite. I mean, it would’ve been cool if he had pants on, but it is what it is.

Where Work Isn't Work (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) — Where Work Isn't Work

Not only was the editing on this one a lot of fun, so was working on the install of the lights. And as you can probably tell, it was a lot of lights. Every now and then, we’d take a break and swing-off the rope swing. Good Times.

Looks like the battle at Hogwarts is about to mess some shhhhhenanigans up behind the hill. Don’t worry, I know it’s really not. Good movies though.

Choo Choooooo (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) — Choo Choooooo

A train driver yelled at us for being too close to the track. He was quite the ass if I’m being honest too. We still got some cool shots either way.

“Photography has always been a big passion of mine. I find immense joy and fulfillment in capturing beautiful moments and emotions through a camera. The ability to freeze time and preserve memories is incredibly special to me, second only to the love and happiness I share with my family.”
