Photographer Tells Stories Through Capturing Authentic Moments

I am a traveling Reno-Tahoe and Austin, TX-based wedding and lifestyle photographer that loves photographing people: whether it's doing what they love or with the people that they love. I have a Bachelor of the Sciences in Radio-TV-Film from the University of Texas at Austin, a healthy dose of sarcasm, and a voice loud enough to get your Uncle Joe to step in line during family formals. I believe that your wedding day is a day where you should celebrate with your friends and family, and not a photoshoot where you happen to get married.
