Dan and Amy

It's not every day that you get to photograph a couple who are arguably the best and most humble people you've ever met. Dan reached out to me and noticed that I didn't have any maternity photos on the site. He wasn't wrong. I've never photographed any maternity photos and never really jumped at the chance to call myself such a photographer. He asked if I was interested in photographing his wife for a maternity session. Of course, I jumped at the chance to be able to do that. It would be nice to branch out and photograph something other than sports and senior photos for once. I gleefully agreed and decided that we would do an early morning shoot at a local lake here in Dallas. We chose the early morning because.... well, it's July in Texas. We weren't trying to have a heat stroke for some photos.

Dan and Amy certainly had some words of wisdom for a young photographer with high career aspirations. This shoot turned into a wisdom-session and it's a conversation that I will never forget for as long as I live. One of the main reasons why I love being a photographer is because I get to learn so much about the people that I photograph and vice versa.

Thanks, Dan and Amy for trusting me to take photos of such an amazing time in your lives!

Kylon

Photographing Kylon was one of the best times I've had as a photographer who sometimes photographs seniors. I absolutely cannot believe all of the things that this young man has accomplished in just his high school years. This guy is going into his first year of college as a junior. Yes, you read that right. He completed the first two years of his college coursework while in high school! Can you believe that?! When he and his mom explained why he had two different cap and gowns, I felt like I could run laps with excitement. I certainly was not that great of a student in high school, so when I hear about young black men accomplishing this, I can't help but feel an immense amount of joy.

Kylon, I've already said it once, but I'll say it once more. I'm very proud of you and what you have managed to accomplish thus far! Continue to grind and put in the work. The fruits of your labor will taste sweet when the time comes!

FC Dallas vs Houston Dynamo

After a few years of trying, I finally got approved with a media credential to photograph FC Dallas! I'm not sure how I got so lucky this time, but I was ecstatic when I got approved! It was one of the most exciting soccer games I've seen. Houston scored a goal early in the game and held the lead throughout the match.

In the final 10 minutes, Dallas made some phenomenal plays that secured the win! What was even more impressive was when Dallas scored the final goal in the 92nd minute! I have never seen someone come back from being down throughout the game like that. Dallas had many chances to score but seemed like they would never score.

I'm grateful to FC Dallas for allowing me to come and photograph this game. Looking forward to other opportunities coming in the future! I'll keep y'all updated.

Gaines and Yorlynn

Hello, everyone! After over two years of dealing with this pandemic, I was able to photograph my first wedding after taking some time away from the wedding scene. This time I took some photos of a previous client's younger sister. Back in 2017, I photographed the eldest sister's wedding! I was contacted and asked to do the next child's wedding. Of course, I jumped at the chance to photograph this family for a second time! It felt like I was there with my own family, and seeing all of the familiar faces again really made my heart feel great!

I'm sharing a few photos from this wedding with y'all! Hopefully I can continue photographing weddings and giving y'all more images to check out. Keep your eyes peeled as I have more great things in the works for the next couple of months!

Texas Legends vs Memphis Hustle

Well, for the first time, I've finally reached the NBA floor! This is only the second time I've photographed a professional sports team. The first was the Portland Timbers back in 2019 and now the NBA G League Texas Legends! I haven't photographed sports in quite some time so it was refreshing to get to do this!

I can't wait to get another opportunity to photograph another game. Not only did I get to photograph this game but, Memphis Hustle shared one of my photographs on their Twitter and Instagram accounts! Y'all be on the lookout for more events that I have coming up!
