I think that sharing the stories of our transgender friends is so crucial not just today but every single day but we also need to educate ourselves and put in the work to make our world more inclusive. Learning proper language is one of the many ways we can love more fully and create a safer environment. Thanks @pinkmantaray for all you do for our community and...
Photographing LGBTQ+ families in my Dallas community & watching families evolve over time brings me so much joy but getting asked to photograph their memories is such a huge honor.

1. PAY FOR THE BRAIN PICKING. I appreciate both honesty & directness so I will give that in return. It keeps things straightforward and leaves not room for guessing. As creatives, chances are we have made a decent amount of connections and in turn a lot of acquaintances and friends all around the world. Running a business takes energy, money & time. It’s safe to say...

What in the heck is a micro wedding? According to Brides.com a micro wedding is an intimate affair, typically with no more than 50 guests. My kind of wedding. As most of you know, I no longer photograph large weddings (my talented team does). I prefer those intimate weddings. Micro weddings allow me to spend more time with my couples and be more involved in...

We met at Round-Up Saloon, a country-western gay bar and dancehall in Dallas' Gayborhood, Oak Lawn.
