HOWDY Y’ALL!

Thank you for checking out my work! I’m a photographer currently based out of beautiful Driftwood, Texas. I love calling the Hill Country my home, while being only a two-step and a twirl away from the vibrant music scene in Austin.

Texas culture is a mainstay in my heart, but any chance I get I hit the road with my little teardrop camper and big sweet Weimaraner; soaking in secret hot springs in New Mexico, watching fireflies in my home state of Iowa, & doing my best to link up with friends/clients/shows all along the way. Music and Nature have always been the true driving forces of my life and I think that shows through in my work. A song much like a sunset can instantly change your perception, shine straight into the heart, and most importantly bring folks together. Sometimes a photograph can do the same thing.

After years of running a small organic farm and being mostly off the grid, I switched gears entirely and hit the ground running as Charley Crockett’s personal photographer from 2015 to the end of 2019. That’s how I got my start, and there is an entire page here just of my work with him because of that. From a very young age I learned you have to make your own luck in life, and I feel proud of all that I contributed to his success. Along the way I’ve had the opportunity to work with many bands that I love, from the Black Pumas to Mike and the Moonpies, Brennen Leigh to Turnpike Troubadours. I’ve had photos published in magazines, newspapers, album covers, and I’ve even had my work on billboards for the Grammys and on the Tonight Show! I’m so grateful for those huge opportunities early on, I had so much fun. I’m enjoying a slower pace on the other side of all that these days, but my rearview mirror has a lot of sparkle and stories to tell!

The last few years were extremely humbling for so many of us, and it’s taken me time to rebuild and finally pivot towards expanding my cliental and range of work. Although the majority of what you see here on my site is music promo, please do not shy away from booking with me for ANY of your photo needs big or small. I’m a grassroots kinda gal, and I truly take just as much pride in working with my local community as with touring artists!

I’m available for: •brand work •promoting your local business •events •baby showers •maternity •graduation •family portraits •holiday photos •pet portraits •new artists •album artwork •you name it!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting my work and spreading the word about my small business to your friends and neighbors. I appreciate you and can’t wait to work together.
