I am a print-based portrait photographer based in Round Rock, Texas who specializes in families, kids, high school seniors, headshots and personal branding in and around the Austin, Texas area.

One of my favorite things is researching my family’s genealogy and being the curator of our historical portrait collection. My greatest discovery so far was that my next-door neighbor and friend of five years was actually my cousin!

Born and raised in Austin, I earned a photojournalism degree at the University of Texas after initially studying architecture for the first two years of college. I was recruited out of college by The Miami Herald, and I had a successful career as an award-winning newspaper photographer, reporter, and photo editor at some of the nation's top publications.

In 2004 I returned home to Austin and launched a wedding photojournalism business, but temporarily put down my camera in 2006 to start a family. My husband Robert and I now have three children ages 13 to 19 years old and three fur-babies - two chihuahuas and a neurotic Whoodle (Wheaton terrier/poodle mix). I picked up my camera again in 2018 and started my portrait photography business. Since then I have been honored to document many different family milestones for my clients.
