My personal philosophy with editorial and advertising photography: telling stories, capturing energy, and collaborating to create visual narratives that stop you in your tracks.

My recent photoshoot for the March/April 2025 issue of Austin Woman Magazine, featuring the extraordinary Nicole Trunfio, was a perfect embodiment of this idea.

The Art of Collaborative Storytelling

Working with a multifaceted talent like Nicole Trunfio requires more than technical skill—it demands a deep commitment to understanding and representing her identity as a model, entrepreneur, and mother. From our initial team conversations to the final shutter click, everything was an intentional step towards creating imagery that visually represents her journey.

Collaborative Vision

My approach to photography is fundamentally collaborative. Before we even stepped onto the set, I invested time in:

Understanding Nicole’s personal brand and aesthetic
Working with the Austin Woman editorial team to discuss the vision for the photoshoot
Aligning our creative perspectives to ensure authenticity

This pre-shoot dialogue is crucial since this step transforms a standard photoshoot into a purposeful visual dialogue, where every image is a narrative on its own.

Meticulous Composition

Detail is where I like to dance. During the Austin Woman Magazine shoot, nothing was left to chance

Each pose was purposefully selected
Lighting was strategically arranged
Styling element was thoughtfully integrated

We weren’t just hitting the shutter button hoping for the best; we were constructing visual experiences that would hook and inspire the magazine’s readers.

The Power of a Stellar Team

Every exception photoshoot happens far from isolation. I’m incredibly fortunate to collaborate with industry-leading professionals who elevate every project. I am so grateful to work with the Austin Woman editorial team, Nicole’s team, Liz Wendler (Styling), and Perla Rodriguez (Hair & Makeup):

Beyond Photography: Creating Meaningful Experiences

For me, photography is a beautiful combination of technical execution and personal photography style to capturing the spirit of a moment, translating energy into visual representations of words, and creating images that are felt and remembered.

Whether I’m working with high-end brands, editorial platforms, or individual creatives, my commitment remains the same: to deliver work that is meaningful, striking, and layered in creativity.
