goodbye dallas, hello new york {maddy} dfw headshot photographer

Yesterday I got to do an amazing headshot/portrait session with the beautiful, funny, and sweet Maddy. Her dream since she was a child was to be on Broadway and in October she and her parents are headed to NYC so she can fulfill her dream. Maddy not only has an amazing story in how she got to this place but also to top it off, she already has multiple job offers (stage AND film) waiting for her when she gets there. I know her parents are incredibly proud of her and I was honored to get to do this session!

designer spotlight {nicole moore vintage headbands} dallas/ft worth commercial photographer

If you adore vintage jewelry and just don’t know how to incorporate it into your modern wardrobe, then you need to check out Nicole Moore Vintage Headbands. My very talented sister runs this business and she creates the most AMAZING headbands from stunning pieces of old jewelry. It is truly an art. We love to go antiquing together and it is fascinating to watch how she picks out pieces. It has to be a certain size, a certain height, and have certain lines in order to best be displayed on her beautifully silk-ribbon-wrapped metal headbands (that do not give you a headache, by the way). Anyway, enjoy a peek below of the latest and greatest and click HERE to go purchase!


1950′s vogue {just for fun} dallas/ft worth vintage photographer

Ever since I was in high school I have had a fascination with vintage fashion magazines. I fell in love the over the top posing, the drama,  and the coloring used in the processing of the ads and fashion layouts. I’ve been wanting do to a creative shoot like this for some time and when I met Jenny I knew this was the time to do this! She is a kindred spirit in all things vintage and we had a fun time playing dress up and using old ads and fashion layouts for inspiration in  setting up posing for these scenes. Beware…this is a really long post! : )

michelle {actress} dfw headshot photographer

Meet gorgeous Michelle. She is off to NYC soon and needed some updated headshots. She was so wonderful to work with and we had so much fun! Of course, we had to finish the shoot off with some  ”just for fun” vintage shots. I LOVE the 1920′s/’30′s feel we got from her outfit and the location.

stunning simplicity {taylor} plano, tx senior high photographer

Gorgeous Taylor!! I had so much fun on this shoot. She and her mom were so wonderful to work with and, as you can see, have amazing fashion sense. It was another insanely hot and muggy Texas summer evening, but she managed to look simply beautiful despite the elements! : )
