What’s one thing you always travel with? My camera

If you could move anywhere in the world, where would it be? It sounds cliché but I had the chance to move wherever I wanted several years ago and I chose to move to Dallas.

What’s your biggest strength? Compassion … empathy

What did you want to be when you were younger? I have wanted to be a photographer since I learned to use my dad’s 35mm Pentax camera at age 9

Who is your inspiration? My little brother. He is resilient, wicked smart, and the most genuine person I’ve ever known.

What’s your favorite compliment you’ve ever received?  Being told that I am a good listener.

Best piece of advice you’ve received? If you maintain a true principal, you will never be alone.

One piece of advice you’d give to your younger self? Be selective with whom you surround yourself.

What got you into wedding photography? I photographed my first wedding for a family friend when I was only 18 years old as a favor. Being able to preserve those tender moments that flew by on the day felt like magic. I knew from then on it was the only thing I wanted to do, and I’ve been doing it for 14 years now.

How many weddings have you photographed in your career- ballpark? 375 or more.

Where’s your favorite destination you’ve traveled for a wedding? San Francisco

What’s a dream destination you hope to go to for a wedding? Montana …. Or Hawaii

Favorite part of a wedding? At every wedding, there is a moment when the bride and groom look at each other and have this “OMG!! We’re married!! This is the best day ever!!” private moment, even if it’s in the middle of a packed dance floor.

Film or digital? Digital

Dallas or destination? This isn’t a fair choice. Destination if I had to choose, but it’s not about the location as much as the people and celebration itself.

Favorite Dallas venue? Also not a fair choice. Arlington Hall, today. It may change next week.

Favorite memory as a wedding photographer? There was one church ceremony where immediately following the couple’s first kiss there was a huge peal of thunder, as if God Himself were applauding and approving the union. It was breathtaking!

What are you most excited about these days? Honestly, my next wedding. I love the couples and families I’ve been able to work with, and each celebration is new and exciting.
