Motto


My motto: Live well, laugh often, love much

My Love


I never would have followed my dream of becoming a photographer if it hadn't been for the love, support, and encouragement of my husband. I love you, Chris.

My Children




My three beautiful girls are my inspiration. They have helped me to find the beauty in the world. They have often patiently (and sometimes even willingly) been my guinea pigs whenever I wanted to try something new. Thank you Allison, Caroline, and Stacie.

Ryan High Band












One of my favorite photography assignments was to chronicle the Ryan High School Band and their activities. To witness and be a part of the enthusiasm and camraderie of the band was an experience I'll never forget. It is why some booster members continue to be a part of the band even after their children graduate.

School





Working within the school district has given me many photo opportunities. I get to see the children involved in special activities and their everyday routines. The little boy sleeping was a kindergartener who fell asleep while waiting on his mother to pick him up from school. It was the last day of the school year.

Sports












Denton is a great place to attend a variety of high school and college sporting events all year long. I love sports photography. It has been a challenge to learn because it can be so fast paced but that is what makes it so exciting.
The first photo is of my husband playing golf at Turtle Hill in Muenster, TX. I told him I wanted to take some photos of him playing golf, so he set up a tee time for 8:00 AM. The day before had been warm and beautiful. That day the temp was hovering around the freezing mark with a strong wind (look at the flag). I got some good shots, but I think we were the only nuts out there.

Activities





I love attending many of the Denton activities such as the Arts & Jazz Festival, Denton Lawn Jams and the Fourth of July Parade. It is a chance for me to find a variety of people having a good time.

TWU Portraits













One of my favorite places to take photos is TWU. Their gardens are beautiful and there are many niches for a variety of styles. This is my daughter Allison. I took it as one of her senior portraits. The photo above is one I took of the Ryan High School Varsity Softball Team. I also took Spencer's Senior Portraits at TWU.
