Senior Portrait Session at Arbor Hills in Plano,TX

My professional journey into photography began when I became a mom for the very first time. I couldn’t get enough of capturing every little moment and detail of my growing children. From their first smiles to their first steps, I found so much joy in documenting the precious milestones that make motherhood such a profound experience. I’m incredibly grateful for all the film and photographs I’ve collected of them and our family over the years. I get to relive these moments over and over again. They live with me forever in such great detail beyond what any memory can offer. It’s like being transported back in time and experiencing the same amount of emotion felt at that particular moment.

As my children grow, I’m confronted with how quickly time pass. These early years were fleeting and I find myself treasuring every captured moment even more. This realization deepened my passion for photography and solidified my mission to help other families preserve their unique stories. It’s important to me as a family photographer to capture each season of life. Not just during childhood but through all the milestones that shape a family’s journey.

This passion for preserving memories has brought me to an exciting new chapter in my work. I am thrilled to announce that I am now offering Senior portrait sessions in Dallas as part of my family portrait experience. Senior portraits mark a significant transition in life, capturing the essence of who a young person is as they stand on the threshold of adulthood. Just like the moments I cherish from my own children’s lives, these portraits celebrate a time that feels both monumental and fleeting.

I’m honored to expand my services to include this important milestone and look forward to helping families celebrate these cherished moments through timeless imagery, framed artwork and albums.
