Keeper of memories · Dallas, TX
If it feels chaotic, we probably just made some magic. Golden-hour family sessions across Dallas, for the laughs you can’t pose.
The part parents worry about
Give me a wild child and I’ll give you magic. I’m a mama of two boys, so I come with lots of patience and even more energy: games, silly prompts, peekaboo, whatever it takes.
Shy toddlers end up holding my hand. Grumpy dads end up laughing. And you get pictures of your family being exactly who they are.

Make some magicAll sessions shot at golden hour around Dallas and the northern suburbs. Wardrobe styling help is available with any session.
Optional add-on
Coordinating a whole family’s outfits is the number-one thing that stalls a session. So I took it off your plate entirely — here’s exactly how it works.
At booking, you tell me if you want wardrobe help.
You share sizes and a few color and style preferences, plus a recent photo where everyone is visible.
I send back three coordinated whole-family outfit options, each with shoppable links, a per-option budget, and a preview image of your family in the look.
You pick the look you love and buy the pieces yourself.
You get a board like this for each look, drawn as your own family, so you can see everyone together before you buy a thing.
Plus one link with every piece for every person, kids’ sizes included, from stores you already shop. Each look comes with its budget up front.
“Coordinated, not matchy. A $40 dress photographs as beautifully as a $300 one. I take all the friction away.”
Ask for it when you bookBehind the lens
I picked up a camera when my boys were born and fell head over heels for keeping every minute: the sticky hands, the sleepy faces, the way they looked at me. Archer + James is named after them (their middle names). They used to tease me, “Mom, you should take pictures of someone else.” So I did, and I’ve loved every family since.
Losing both of my parents changed how I see all of it. The pictures we had left became more precious than gold. So I don’t chase perfect. I chase real: the laugh you can’t pose, the squeeze, the silly face, the little hand reaching for yours. The perfect pictures are beautiful. The imperfect moments are everything.
Before this I was a dancer and an NFL cheerleader, so I know how to turn a photo session into a good time. I’ll be the one in the grass making the funny noises, coffee close by. You just come as you are, and let me catch your people in their best light.

Yes. That is honestly my favorite part. Games, silly prompts and a lot of patience, and the shy ones are giggling before you know it.
Coordinated, not matchy. If you want help, I offer an optional styling add-on: outfit boards for your whole family with links to every piece.
We move you to another evening. Golden hour is worth waiting for.
