Dance at Dusk

This summer has been a revolutionary time for me as a photographer, and I am going into the school year with a whole new excitement for this art! I interned for a brilliant photographer this summer, and I have learned so much! I have also been exploring my boundaries as a photographer, and I am trying to figure out what direction I want to go with my work. With this particular shoot, I wanted to practice with my new 85mm Lens and I wanted to try my hand at Dance Photography. Unfortunately, it started raining as soon as Raegan and I were ready to start shooting, so I took a risk and threw a plastic bag over my camera.

Raegan is a beautiful Dancer, and her movement and poses gave me a lot of direction and inspiration once we started shooting. I wanted this shoot to have a very mystical, earthy, and slightly dark look and I am very excited by the outcome. 

This is a very different look for me, but I really enjoyed exploring and experimenting! I would love feedback, and I hope you will check back soon to what what else I am up to. I have a post from my underwater shoot coming soon!

Thank you so much for looking!

Chandler Roberts Quarles - Bridals

I was so honored and excited to take bridals for my beautiful sister Chandler. Her wedding was stunning and I was an emotional mess! I am so proud of her and I cannot wait to see what the Lord does through she and Jeremy! I have been interning for a brilliant photographer this summer named Claire McAdams and I have learned so much! This shoot was a great way to put everything I have been learning into practice!

Chandler looked so beautiful and I will always treasure the memories we made taking her bridals. The wedding itself went perfectly and I now have a brother. I still can't get over how weird it is to call Jeremy Chandler's Husband! 

Since this shoot I have continued to grow and learn so much from Claire, and I will be blogging pictures from an underwater shoot very soon! I hope everyone enjoyed this little look into our bridal shoot! Come back soon! 

Jahmal Bland - Headshots

I am so happy to finally get this blog up! I had a blast taking these headshots for my good friend Jahmal, and I have to say that I learned a lot from this shoot. Every time I take a picture I find new challenges, attempt to overcome them, and learn things I never would have learned without taking that particular shot! I love it! It is in the challenges that I find my drive.

I hope you like these shots, we certainly had a blast during this shoot!

Thank you so much for checking out my blog! I always welcome feedback, and I hope you come back soon! I am currently editing shots from two recent portrait shoots, and I can't wait to get those pictures up!

Thank you for looking!

The Willson Family.

This was one of my first Family portrait shoots, and I had a blast! It is obvious by these pictures that this family loves spending time together! They were constantly making each other laugh, which made my job easy! I learned a lot from this shoot, and I would love to do more family portraits in the future!

  Family is such a blessing, and in a small way I feel that photography can freeze a moment between a family so it can then be passed on to others and to future generations. I have always loved looking at pictures of past generations in my family, and I still remember the first time that my great grandpa showed me pictures that took me through my families history. All that is to say that I think family pictures can be of great importance! It is my hope that my work can capture the unique love between family members!

I had a blast taking all of these pictures, and I hope you enjoyed what you see here! With every shoot I do, I walk away with a better understanding of photography and with more passion for this art! 

Thanks for checking my blog out, come back soon!

Sean McGibbon - Headshots

I recently did a headshot session with the talented Sean McGibbon, and we ended up with some really great shots. We walked all over the beautiful and hilly Texas State campus on this cloudy humid day. Every headshot shoot is always different, making it fun and exciting as I try to bring out the personality of each individual person. On this particular shoot, we experimented with a large variety of locations and I'm sure sean was sick of smiling and staring into my lens by the time we finished. My goal was to provide Sean with a large and diverse selection of shots that showcase his personality, and I hope I was able to accomplish that goal!

Every shoot presents its challenges, but it is in those challenges that I find excitement and inspiration. Every time I pick up my camera, I learn more about this art that I love. On this particular day, we were not battling the usual direct sunlight causing shadows, we were actually lacking in light at times. As I shot these images, I learned how to better shoot under these conditions and I grew in my skills as a result. I absolutely love every aspect of photography, and I will take on every challenge I can with the hope that I will expand my skills. 

Thank you for checking out my work! Sean and I had a blast, and hopefully his personality shines through in these shots. It is my hope that I can inspire others while creating quality images! 

Thank you so much,
