One of the things I love about Cape Cod is it's amazing history. It has some of the most beautiful landscapes, littered with beautiful churches and history that made our country. I truly enjoy capturing some of the steeples as they reach into the sky. So beautiful!

I love to photograph children. They have some of the funniest expressions in the world. We all look for those silly smiles and giggles but sometimes other expressions make a shot say so much more.

When capturing children I love to play and follow them around looking for those moments that make a shot one of a kind. This guy was so much fun to photograph!!!

We shot Lauren's High Senior session and she loved it. She decided she really wanted to model so we worked together to put together her portfolio.

I was lucky to shoot little Blake. She was always on the move and had a very pensive smile. She is just a little doll!

I love having the opportunity to photograph very beautiful ladies that have very creative minds and ideas. Audrey, dancer and very beautiful model, loves to be creative. We set a scene that was a ton of fun and the result was awesome.

I was lucky to spend the weekend shooting a young and upcoming backetball star. She works hard growing her skills. We had fun composing an artistic image that shows her drive and determination when playing basketball. She is not only a young athlete but also a very sweet young lady with a bright future.

Just recently I had a great time shooting a family from the Dallas area. Their little boy was so smart. He kept naming different species of dinosaurs. Many of which I had never heard of (made me look bad....so funny). It was hysterical.

Here is a compilation of our shoot......

We had a great day today shooting a couple of great kids. They were a ton of fun to talk to and played up to the camera. In the end we all had a great time and avoided the summer heat.

There is nothing stronger then the bond between a father and his son. That was so apparent when shooting this great team.....

Shooting fashion can be so much fun and you don't have to be a super model to shoot fashion style shots. We had a great time shooting fashion shots for a great mom who makes a fantastic model.

So many times people think of studio photography as going to the mall and getting simple......boring shots. Well it doesn't have to be that way. In my studio I use props, the natural structure and natural light to make "natural shots".

This gives me and my clients more choice and beautiful images.

Tonight was an incredible Texas sunset. The sky was seperated by a weather front making it look like the ocean at Sunset in California. I love capturing emotion through not just faces but at times beautiful landscapes.

I had the opportunity to photograph an absolutely beautiful family this week. They were a lot of fun and the setting was awesome.

The girls' smiles were precious (especially the little model to be). What a great family!

There is something about closeup portraits that really capture the true beauty,emotion and character of a person. It shines into ones eyes and really speaks to the emotion.

When I shoot portraits I always end up with some amazing closeups that really tell the story of the subject. Sara is no excetion as she shows her natural beauty.

What a great spring it has been thus far. I have been blessed to be able to photograph some of the prettiest faces and cutest smiles in North Texas. This week was no exception with a brother and sister that were just so adorable. They ran played and relaxed on our settee in the shade as I captured fun spring images.
