I am a creative geek. I love art, crafting things with my own two hands, and I love to travel. I love having a blog - I've had a presence...line for 10 years now.
For over 20 years, I have been seeking the beautiful moments of life to freeze with my camera.

I photograph an average of 25-30 weddings each year. Most of my clients view their weddings as a reason to celebrate - celebrating the joining of two lives together and of the individuals. I love being a part of their big party!

I'm humbled and I'm still pinching myself to be part of the WPJA. I have a long way to get where I want to be, and even then I will always be striving to get to the next level. So thank you for the opportunity.
You write how other photographers in the WPJA refer others when they're booked-and that's exactly what happened to me when a kindly WPJA photographer referred me to a Houston couple who came to San Antonio to have their wedding with family & friends. A good example of the WPJA team, as you put it.
I've been a photographer for 15 years but just started capturing weddings just a year ago when my passion for documenting weddings rather than the traditional style-which was such a turn off-changed. I wanted to physically vomit just thinking about it.
Thank you for accepting me into a great organization.
