When a family comes in from New Mexico and stands in front of your camera!  They didn't disappoint!  Thank you Hughey Family! October 2015 Location: Amarillo, TX

A year ago today I became a professional photographer.  I decided to get out of my comfort zone in only shooting my family and help capture memories for other families. I have had many friends in front of my camera this year along with new clients that have become friends and have witnessed many milestones. I am so very grateful for the patience my family has with me when I have to learn something new and use them as guinea pigs. I am grateful for my growing client list and I just absolutely love seeing my "work" hanging in homes and framed in their offices. It means a lot! This year as I look back I have captured 6 weddings, 15 families, Business Group Photos, 3 engagements, 4 newborns, 3 couples, a birth, children's milestones, best friends, a graduate, and my pets are still getting used to me walking around the back yard to "test" lighting or focus.  Very fun and exciting things are coming up for 2016. Thank you to everyone that has stood in fron...

It's that time of year!

When Sanja had her Mother's Day mini-session in May we talked about a session with her whole family. I knew I wanted the weather to be a bit cooler and at a place that was open and beautiful. So what a great day to shoot her family on the last official weekend of summer than at the gorgeous Palo Duro Canyon. I love going out there and sometimes feel I take it for granted. This Canyon has been my neighbor for 37 years and I don't visit it as much as I should. I am glad that I became a professional photographer so I can enjoy it more :) Thank you again Lovvorn Family! You are all fun to be around! 9.19.15

Congrats Joey and Chelsea!! Temple, Tx 9.5.15

Photographers often work crazy hours: they’re up late in the evening editing, sending emails, and working on their websites. However, it’s important to set your schedule and stick to it. It will give you the opportunity to fit in hobbies and family time, as well as meet your strict deadlines without feeling overwhelmed.   --- Source ShootProof Blog Often times I have great weeks where everything runs smooth. Other times its hectic and I never feel like I will get it all done. Clients, whether they are family or friends, come first when I sit down to work. I like to say I have business hours, but in all honesty I work until I have product in hand to my clients. Even if that means going to bed after midnight or working on a Sunday morning.  I do try to find that balance in running an at home business and do my best not to let it interfere with my family. Cause in the short and long of it, they do come first. I have the privilege to work from home and grow my busi...

Any time Anna calls me up to do pictures this happens! She has beautiful daughters that LOVE being in front of my camera. I love when she calls me up, she always has great and crazy ideas. The weather in the Texas Panhandle doesn't always cooperate. But considering it was the end of August and for whatever reason it was 68 degrees, over cast, and windy, they still braved it and the end result is some great candid memories!
