How would you describe your style? I am a modern photograher with a strong homegrown influence. My photos capture relationships and are cheerful.
Why photography? I have always enjoyed taking pictures and playing with cameras. After my older sister had her senior pictures taken, I was hooked. I was eager to learn and inspired to create. Kristin Bednarz, a fabulous photographer and great friend, was so kind to mentor me and from there I have never stopped learning.

What chapter are you in?

What are your plans after school?
In 2013, I will graduate from Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas.
My goal is to become a full-time freelance family photographer in Texas. I look forward to working in a creative field full time.
05
What is your passion? I love photography and the freedom to use my creativity. I also love people and hearing their stories about life, love, and what has shaped them into who they are. I feel extremely blessed that my work is a combination of the two!

What is your favorite photography accessory?

Where is your favorite place to shoot?
People. Especially for senior portraits, I often encourage my clients to bring their favorite people to the shoot. Friends and family often help calm nerves and allow me to capture my client in their true behavior. These are the people who will frame my photographs and it is special for them to be a part of the shoot.
Cotton fields, haystacks, open plains, empty streets, or anything outdoors. West Texas provides great scenery and beautiful settings for portraits. Some of my best work was from the fields and now most of my clients request to work in more natural settings. When outdoors, I am completely inspired and feel that there are no limits to where I can take my craft.
