This year, I’m intentionally using travel as a source of inspiration. My friend and I headed to New Orleans and I decided to stay open to whatever may come my way. This was the same feeling I carried during planning this trip and sure enough as we got closer to looking at what kind of Mardi Gras festivities would meet us, we fatefully were able to catch the Intergalactic Krewe of Chewbacchus.

The Art of Storytelling Through Preparation:

As I packed my travel bag—a journal, a compact book, my lightest camera, and my trusty bluetooth keyboard connected to my iPad—I was already preparing to catch every ounce of inspiration through visuals and words. My goal was to find energy and light, and follow it. My intuition and practice in photography has led me to sense smaller moments that make the biggest impact. I certainly wanted to lean into connection since community is synonymous with New Orleans.

What My Intuition and Eye Is Drawn To:

- Light: the literal sense as well as the feeling when two friends greet each other warmly. Or in the parade sense, run to each other with open arms in full costume

- Frames and perspectives: when there’s a shape, I peer through. Standing at a proud 5 foot and three quarters, I’ve been trying to find places where I can view what’s in front of me when there are taller people and objects in front. I use this lifelong practice to my advantage when I photograph

- Costumed connections: Faces glowing with joy with krewes in costumes that tell stories of imagination and belonging

Ready to transform your story into visual magic? Let’s connect.

Austin rarely sees snow, but when it does, it transforms the ordinary into something extraordinary. As an editorial photographer, I’ve learned that the most compelling stories aren’t about perfect locations—they’re about vision, creativity, and the ability to see potential where others see limitations. 

I rolled out of bed and ran out as soon as I saw our backyard glistening in winter. A fun fact about me is that I’m an Austinite that enjoys the cold and layering. While most adults saw another cold morning, I saw an opportunity to experiment. It’s a perfect metaphor for my approach to photography: taking what’s given and elevating it beyond expectations.

Why Creativity Matters in Photography

My background has taught me that photography is about perspective. Whether I’m working with advertising agencies, magazines, or personal branding clients, I bring:

• An experienced eye for transforming mundane scenes into extraordinary narratives
• Deep understanding and love of color theory and matching colors up through fashion and props
• Professional adaptability that turns constraints into creative opportunities

What Sets Me Apart

As a creative branding and lifestyle photographer in Austin, I am a storyteller. My professional experience has honed my ability to:

• Collaborate seamlessly with teams
• Understand and exceed client expectations
• Create playful visual narratives

Let’s talk about the elephant in the room since 2020: that sea of gray, white, and black in photography we’re drowning in. And no, I’m not talking about black and white photography. 

As an editorial and advertising photographer in Austin, I see it everywhere.
And here’s the thing – choosing these colors just because “that’s what professional looks like” isn’t doing you any favors.

I’ve seen countless business owners choose this route and still miss the mark on looking professional. 

Want to know why? Because it’s not about the colors – it’s about who’s capturing your story through that lens.

This isn’t me throwing shade at other photographers (pun intended). This is about finding someone who can tell your authentic story, whether that’s in vibrant color or sophisticated black and white. 

Your visual choices should be intentional, not just a run-of-the-mill web designer said was “standard.”

It’s 2025, folks. Time to ditch the mindset that muted tones automatically equal professionalism. 

What actually makes you look professional? High-end photography that captures your essence and leads people to engage with your message and with YOU.

Fun fact: A fashion industry friend told me these neutral palettes gained popularity because they felt safe during uncertain times. And that’s valid – when it’s intentional. 

You’re not just a neutral feeling. You’re vibrant. You have layers. Yes, like Shrek.

This is where I come in. As an Austin-based editorial and fashion photographer working with both local and national publications, I specialize in:

• Uncovering those genuine layers of your brand
• Creating intentional set design with strategic props and locations
• Implementing color theory before the shot (because getting it right in-camera beats post-processing every time)
