Alex & Taylor’s Frisco Church Wedding + Rustic Reception | Grace Avenue UMC + Heritage Depot

Alex and Taylor’s wedding day was filled with heartfelt moments, personalized touches, and joyful celebration. From the ceremony at Grace Avenue United Methodist Church in Frisco to the party at The Heritage Depot, this day was the perfect blend of love and laughter.

The morning started with getting ready moments at the church, where Alex gifted her girls matching sunflower necklaces to wear in honor of Taylor. (And yes, there were happy tears!) Their ceremony was one for the books—featuring a surprise song written by Alex for Taylor and deeply personal vows that had everyone tearing up. A unity candle ceremony symbolized the merging of their lives and families in a space filled with warmth, community, and support.

When the rain hit just before the end of the ceremony, we quickly pivoted and made our way to their reception venue. The Heritage Depot’s warm wood tones and string lights made the perfect cozy space for dinner, dancing, and dessert. One of our favorite touches? Their monogrammed Vans and sunflower socks—every detail was so them.

From custom jewelry and heartfelt speeches to a unique split-tier chocolate wedding cake with tuxedo strawberries, everything about this celebration reflected Alex and Taylor’s story and their commitment to each other and their girls. They left the venue hand in hand with their daughters for a sweet “family moon” to mark this new chapter.

Spring Graduation Session at UNT + TWU | Ashley’s Senior Portraits in Denton, TX

Ashley graduated this spring with a degree in Public Health from the University of North Texas—and her grad session was the perfect blend of classic campus vibes and natural beauty!

We started at the iconic Library Mall on UNT’s campus, where Ashley wore a green dress and rocked her signature cowboy boots. She requested a shot under the stacked book arch—and we nailed it! The fountain, clock tower, and the morning light made it even more magical. She even threw in a classic eagle claw hand sign to celebrate her Mean Green pride.

For the second half of the session, Ashley changed into a white dress and we headed just down the road to the greenhouse and pond at Texas Woman’s University. The soft greenery and peaceful water lilies gave us a beautiful contrast to the architectural look from earlier. Whether she was standing tall in her gown or seated by the water holding her cap, every shot felt calm, confident, and full of joy.

Ashley loves country dancing, baking, and anything to do with cats—but today was all about celebrating this milestone in style. Congratulations, Ashley—you did it!

The Haydel Family at Town Green Park – A Sunset Session Full of Love

Earlier this year, I had the honor of photographing Alex and Taylor’s wedding—and one of my favorite parts of my wedding packages is the complimentary session that couples can use however they like. The Haydel family chose to turn theirs into a family session, and it was such a sweet and joy-filled evening!

We met up at Town Green Park in The Woodlands, which turned out to be the perfect setting. From the red brick arches and whimsical vines to the dreamy light filtering through the trees, every backdrop gave us something special. Their daughters brought such fun energy, and I loved capturing their bond in both playful and quiet moments.

Whether it’s weddings, engagements, or family photos like these, it’s always such a privilege to document your story—exactly the way it’s unfolding.

Kyndel’s graduation session was a total dream! As a Spring 2025 graduate, she chose downtown Fort Worth as the backdrop for her senior portraits—and it could not have been a more stunning match for her style and confidence.

From the steps of the courthouse to the iconic gold-trimmed doors of Bass Hall, every location added elegance and personality to her session. One of my favorite details? Her graduation regalia popped beautifully against the gold accents and urban architecture.

Whether she was rocking her cap and gown or letting her smile shine in her white dress, Kyndel brought grace and joy to every frame. She’s a perfect example of how graduation portraits can be modern, stylish, and deeply personal (isn’t her pup adorable?).

Rylei’s Graduation Session at UNT | Celebrating a Bright Future in Speech Language Pathology

Rylei’s graduation session at the University of North Texas was nothing short of joyful, vibrant, and full of pride! Throwing it back to Spring 2023… Rylei graduated with a degree in Speech Language Pathology. Now, Rylei is already on to her next adventure—working toward her master’s degree. It was such an honor to help her celebrate this huge milestone with a session that captured both her fun spirit and incredible determination.

We explored some of UNT’s most iconic campus spots, from the towering eagle statue to the bold green UNT letters. The colors in her gallery pop, especially with all the campus florals in bloom. I still can’t get over how perfectly her green heels matched the Mean Green vibes. 😍

Whether she was rocking a cap and gown or spinning in the breeze in her white dress, Rylei brought confidence, beauty, and joy to every single frame. She’s proof that graduation portraits can be classic and full of personality.

From High School to College Grad—She Did It Early! | Fort Worth Senior Photographer

I can’t believe this girl is graduating from college a full year early! It feels like just yesterday we were taking her high school senior portraits. 🥹

We captured her high school senior session in true Texas style—with bold colors, vibrant florals, soft golden light, and a whole lot of personality. Each location added something unique: pops of color from the yellow wall, soft summer vibes at a café table downtown, and blooming crepe myrtles that framed her perfectly.

This is why I love what I do—because time flies, and all we have to hold onto these moments are photographs. If you’ve been putting off scheduling your graduation portraits (whether you're finishing high school, undergrad, or grad school), this is your sign to make it happen. Your future self will thank you.

Jenna’s Spring Senior Session | Senior Photography in Fort Worth

Jenna’s senior session was an absolute blast—and a little nostalgic for me, too.

She’s a senior at Nolan Catholic High School, which just so happens to be my alma mater! Our families go way back to high school days, so it felt incredibly special to capture this milestone for her. (Also, it’s hard to believe it’s been 10 years since I graduated!)

For her spring senior portraits, Jenna brought the sunshine in more ways than one. We explored the Weston Gardens in Fort Worth, surrounded by wild blooms, golden light, and that dreamy Texas spring energy. She rocked a soft blue floral dress (hello, wisteria magic), and later switched into boots and denim for the perfect mix of sweet and southern.

From the candid giggles to those quiet confident moments, Jenna’s session truly captured her spirit. This is exactly why I love senior photography—it’s about freezing the feeling of who you are right now, before the next big chapter in your life.

Nature-Inspired Graduation Photos at Airfield Falls | Fort Worth Senior Photographer

There’s something truly timeless about a nature-filled senior session—and this one was extra special.

Meet Allie. I’ve had the joy of photographing her and her family over the years, and watching her grow into this confident, radiant young woman has been such a privilege. For her high school graduation photos, we chose one of my favorite scenic spots in Fort Worth: Airfield Falls.

This spring session had all the magic—lush greenery, glowing natural light, and the delicate charm of a weeping willow tree that framed Allie beautifully. Her classic white dress was the perfect choice, creating an elegant contrast against the vibrant green backdrop and making her eyes absolutely pop.

From playful poses in the tall grass to soft moments by the water’s edge, this shoot felt like a celebration of everything Allie is—natural, joyful, and effortlessly radiant.

Why I Love Shooting Senior Photos at Airfield Falls

As a Fort Worth senior photographer, I’m always scouting locations that offer both natural beauty and a peaceful vibe. Airfield Falls Conservation Park offers a blend of wild nature, soft light, and a sense of quiet adventure that makes it ideal for seniors who want a backdrop that enhances (but never overpowers) their personality.

Whether we’re capturing cap-and-gown portraits under willow branches or barefoot moments in the creek, these sessions are about more than graduation—they’re about documenting this exact moment in your story.

Planning Your Fort Worth Graduation Session

If you’re looking for a graduation session that’s laid-back, location-driven, and uniquely you, I’d love to help create something beautiful and meaningful. Your senior year deserves to be captured in a way that reflects who you are—and where you’re going next.

Celebrating Hudson: A UTSA Graduation Session with Personality

As a Fort Worth graduation photographer, I’ve been lucky to witness some amazing journeys—but this one is extra special.

Meet Hudson. We met during undergrad at the University of North Texas where we both studied photography. Since then, I’ve had the honor of capturing not just one, but two major milestones in his life—first when he earned his undergraduate degree, and most recently, when he graduated with his Master’s in Photography from the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA). Now, he's come full circle—back at UNT, this time as a professor of art.

Photographing Hudson’s graduate portraits was such a full-circle moment. We shot this session on the UTSA campus, where we found some gorgeous light, meaningful locations, and of course, his favorite fast-food chain—Whataburger. Because why not add a little personality and fun into your grad photos?

Hudson showed up in classic style, with a crisp button-down, his graduation regalia in tow, and that signature blend of confidence and calm that made this shoot such a breeze. From the campus landmarks to a more playful setup with a burger and shake, every part of this session felt like him.

Why Personal Details Matter in Graduation Photos

Graduation sessions are about so much more than a cap and gown. They’re a chance to reflect on the journey, celebrate your growth, and express your unique story. Whether it’s your favorite study spot, your go-to late-night snack (hello, Whataburger), or the mural-lined hallways where you spent countless hours creating—those personal touches are what make your gallery feel like you.

Looking for a Fort Worth or UNT Graduation Photographer?

If you’re a UNT or UTSA grad looking to capture your own story, I’d love to help create something that’s not just beautiful, but meaningful. Every session is personalized to highlight your achievements, your vibe, and your journey—whether that includes a burger run or a sunset cap toss.

Let’s celebrate this moment, your way.

Morgan + Joe | Engagement Portraits at White Rock Lake

Morgan and Joe met me at White Rock Lake in Dallas just as the sun began to rise, and their session was nothing short of magical! The love and genuine affection they have for each other kept a smile on my face throughout our time together. They’re such a fun, goofy couple, and their chemistry is truly beautiful.

Before each session, I like to have a pre-session call to connect with my clients. During our chat, we explored various location options, and I suggested White Rock Lake. It turns out that Joe proposed during a lake trip, and as soon as I mentioned it, they both started giggling. Like all great proposal stories, it didn’t go quite as Joe had planned! I’m so glad we could add to that story and create even more wonderful memories together.
