I celebrate all kinds of love and welcome all skin tones, ethnicities, religions, and the LGBTQ+ community
Putting your wedding (and life) into someone's hands is scary. You can't redo a first kiss or capture that first look with grandpa again. So you want...no, you NEED an experienced photographer - someone you can trust to show up, do a wonderful job, while making everyone feel at ease and allowing you to focus all your attention on enjoying your day.
Let me put your nerves at ease: I've been a wedding photographer since 2007. Having graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, with a concentration in photography from George Mason University, I worked full-time with my mentor and wedding photographer for 3-1/2 years as both his office manager and second photographer. All before I took the leap and began my company, which was at the time Sweet Memories Photography, in 2012. Since then, I haven't stopped learning and continuing to be passionate about weddings.
And then there is the most awkward yet most important conversation: money. Let's just go ahead and dive right into it. Photography is an investment. It's not cheap if you're wanting the best, most trustworthy, most experienced. Your wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event where you have everyone under one roof (or in one place) which rarely, if ever, happens. You want that day fully documented in a way that captures all those people, and the joy and support that they have for you. Your florals dry up, gown is preserved and placed in a box, food is in your stomach and/or thrown out, decor is returned, cake goes stale, but your photos last forever. It really is all you have at the end of the day.
Not getting married or already done the dang thing? Needing a boudoir session or updated headshots? I adore working with families, pets, students, and fellow bosses for all their portrait needs.
Getting married locally in the state of Texas? Or are you an adventurer at heart, like myself? I'd love to hear all about the details and how we can bring your wedding vision to life! I offer a variety of services and custom tailored packages because no couple or wedding is alike.
You said yes but don't know what to do next... celebrate by kicking off your engagement with an engagement session! Let's have fun and show off your love and personalities! These photos are always great to display around your home and to incorporate in your wedding stationery suite (i.e. save-the-dates and invitations)! And they're ALWAYS social media worthy!
Naomi was actually the first vendor that we booked. We felt an instant bond, like we knew her forever, which allowed us to be completely comfortable and completely ourselves around her. She got us excited for the rest of the wedding planning process and I can’t thank her enough for that. She captured the most beautiful engagement photos and breathtaking wedding photos from what I’ve seen in our previews so far. She is very organized and manages her time well. She isn’t in your face while she’s shooting so you can be yourself and enjoy your significant other! We love Naomi!"
If you are interested in celebrating with me, let’s meet! We can chat over the phone or over a margarita, coffee, bubble tea, or <insert drink of choice>.
Let's make it official! A signed agreement and a paid retainer will reserve your date.
A time before your wedding day for us to get to know each other better, allow you to get comfortable in front of the camera, and to have some gorgeous and fun photos to display around the house (and use in your stationery suite)!
I work with you and your planner to nail down the ideal timeline to ensure your important moments and photos are prioritized.
You can relax and enjoy your day. I'll be there, capturing your love story from the smallest of details to the biggest of moments! And a sneak peek is just around the corner, within 48 hours, because who can wait?!?!
4-6 weeks after your wedding day, you will receive the most important gallery of your life! Get ready to relive that day and feel all the feels! So grab a bottle of champagne, take a seat, and celebrate the day all over again!

I am inspired by a mix of documentary and fine art photography, and by YOU! My main purpose is to showcase your personalities both as individuals and as a couple, and to shout your LOVE out into the world with timeless film and digital photos that are YOU!
All images will be delivered within 4-6 weeks post-wedding.
As for the amount of images, it really depends on the scope of the wedding. It is determined by details, guest count, moments, and hours of coverage. I would say that, on average, I deliver about 800 images per 8-hour wedding.
I know that wedding planning can be overwhelming and stressful, but I promise this part is not! We are going to have a blast with one another and capture your moments in a way that you will remember forever! Developing an amazing, trusting, stress-free, and fun relationship with you over the next several months, on your wedding day, and after everything is said and done, is my priority, and this contact form is a great start to that!
