Some of Our Services
PORTRAIT
Is it time to update that family portrait? I’ve been a Lubbock photographer for 16 years and love doing family photography. Children grow so much faster than we want them. Believe me, I know. I’m a professional photographer and I don’t think I can take enough pictures of my girls.
Let me follow your family as they grow and change over the years by creating family portraits that are different. Those that capture photographically the personalities that make your family unique.
Challenge me. Let’s make something special!
COMMERCIAL
What may seem a very dry part of photography has become exciting to this Lubbock photographer.
I’m based in Lubbock, TX but regularly travel all over doing our style of commercial photography. I love working with art directors to make a concept come to life.
Commercial photography allows me a chance to show my photographic skills, bringing this expertise in focus for magazine advertising, corporate publications, brochures, restaurant menus, etc.
If you have something you want to sell or promote, I’d love to help. And corporate headshots are a specialty as well.
HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS
Ok, so you’re a Lubbock high school senior. Please, don’t call me if you want traditional high school senior portraits! This is only for those that possess something different and want a photographer who likes that.
Let’s face it, most of high school is about figuring out who you are. So, if you’re an individual, let’s make your senior portraits distinctive and exclusive.
I’m all about living on the creative edge.
Come try something different with us.
ARCHITECTURE
Architectural photography has become somewhat of a specialty for us. I cover Lubbock architecture photography but I’ve traveled the world, capturing some of the most amazing structures.
We know that great images can bring in that next multi-million dollar project. Most people involved in building their next edifice can’t visualize what the possibilities are. We can bring that vision into focus.
We’re also licensed and insured for drone photography and videography. Let us create some amazing images of your work, construction, and all the details.
WEDDINGS
There are sooo many Lubbock wedding photographers. How do you choose? Well, number one, you need someone who’s got some experience. I’ve done several hundred weddings and they’re probably one of the most special events I get to be a part of; wedding photography allows me to take captive all those amazing moments of your wedding day. Hanging out behind the scenes to find those little instances of extreme importance to seize with my camera.
I believe in a fusion of what I call freestyle photography (a documentary feel with a little zest of showing the love between a bride and her groom) and hyper-posed (my own word, lol) fashion. Why shouldn’t you look like you came out of a wedding magazine?
Engagement photography and bridal photography are also such an important part of the mix. Let’s take it with a dash of fashion and fun, creating something completely unique! And I don’t just do Lubbock wedding photography, let’s go wherever. As a matter of fact,
if you’ve got a cool destination in mind, I might even make you a deal!
BOUDOIR
I’m a local Lubbock photographer that’s been doing our style of boudoir photography longer than anyone around here. 16 years!
I offer an exclusive, personal and private photography service and experience for women seeking a photographer they can trust with their boudoir photography. Who is this for? Especially in Lubbock, Texas? It’s for those brides requiring a better wedding gift for their groom than a golf club or cuff links, soccer moms who want that much needed confidence boost that could only come with our self-esteem building photoshoot, or as a little present for that special someone. Sexy, seductive, flirty, and can we say it? FUN!
Don’t worry if you have a few, well, flaws. We’ve never photographed the perfect person. Our enhancing will have you looking like you stepped off the pages of any magazine. Really.
Different • Special • Better
That’s our little motto above. And we do mean it! Not just in our photography either. How about a place that actually cares? I believe in and try to live by the Golden Rule. If that’s you too and you’re interested in creating something different with me, book a shoot and let’s do it!
