Under Construction


logo


Hello everyone! Well, I finally took the big jump and am officially a full-time photographer! So with that being said, there will be several changes to Perspectives in the coming months. Currently, I am working on a new website, which is why the old one isn't working properly. I will be announcing new pricing and displaying a new logo, and photographs!

I am so excited about all of this, but it is going to take some time to get everything up and running, so I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and truly appreciate your understanding.

If you are looking for Wedding or Senior pricing, please do not hesitate to contact me, as I will be more than happy to email you the information or set up a consultation.

Thanks again for the understanding!

Wedding at the Westin Hotel in Houston, Texas


logo


I was a second last Saturday for SB image studios and had the chance to help photograph a very cute bride and a very beautiful wedding. The Westin has an amazing reception hall, it is filled with huge windows that over look the city and is absolutely gorgeous at night! But I think the best part of the day was the bride getting ready. The hotel room had huge windows that were covered with thin white screens creating a photographers heaven! The light from it was sooooo pretty, I couldn't help getting excited over it. I think at that point I knew I was a photography nerd. Although I know the bridal party thought I was probably just crazy, hahaha.

Anyway, here are several of my favorites...

I have to admit that this was the best bouquet toss I have yet to experience, these girls get serious when it comes to flowers!

Rice University Bridals

Well Jessica got married on Saturday, July 5th, so I am finally able to share some of her bridals we did at Rice University! Bridals are usually under lock and key until after the wedding. You never want to create a chance where the groom can get a sneak peek at his beautiful bride before the wedding day.
Anyway, the location and lighting was soooo much fun to play with! I will be 2nd shooting a wedding that will actually be held in the chapel at Rice University at the end of the month, so I can't wait to see the out come of that!

Anyway, here are a few of my favorites from the day! I will be posting a sneak peek of Jessica and Ben's big day on the 12th, so stay tuned!!!

Bay City Wedding ♦


logo


I got asked to be a second shooter for Steve Hoyles of Studio 979 a few weekends back for a Bay City wedding and I just thought I share a few. Now, I don't always do EVERYTHING in black and white, but it is my first love and since I was only the 2nd shooter I thought I would just have fun and do things my way. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE color, but sometimes your just in a black and white mood :)

Oh, and just in case your wondering, I was assigned to shoot the bride the majority of the day so that is why there are so many of her, although she was such a beautiful girl it would be hard not to photograph her!

Enjoy!
