I don't really have one of those stories that says when I was 4.5 years old I picked up my first camera and fell in love with photography. I actually wanted to be a surgeon, but couldn't seem to pass freshman math. So off to the art department I went. Between painting, drawing, and creating sculptures out of wire I decided to try a photo class. There's where the love happened. It loved me just as much, because for some reason it came pretty natural. My teachers encouraged me to keep it going, so I did. I earned my BFA degree in Advertising and Design with a minor in Art History graduating with honors from Stephen F. Austin State University. Go Jacks!  After college I went to photography school to further my photography education and get a grasp on lighting, digital photography (I had only learned film up until this point!), the various genres, and the business side.

I moved to Houston in 2011 and have built my photography career here. I own a creative studio as well, called Suite2a, that focuses on photography, branding, and consulting for fitness, lifestyle, and fashion brands.  I'm also a contributing photographer to the Houstonia Magazine, and a member of ASMP. 

​

Now with almost 10 years shooting product, editorial, commercial, fitness, fashion, and portrait photography, I try and stay very versatile. There is nothing I won't give a shot! (Pun intended.) If there is an idea there is always a way. Let's talk about photography for your next project! We can make it happen!!
