Stories

When I capture a photograph I am trying to capture a story.  Freezing that moment in time as a series of events or a single memory.  All of the components of photography from the technical aspects to composition with the intent of telling a story.

Event

The 4Runner Show 2024 | Bridgeport, TX

The 4Runner Show was an absolute blast! Imagine a whole day surrounded by rugged, tricked-out Toyota 4Runners, Tacomas, and a few other off-road beasts, all gathered in one place to celebrate the spirit of adventure. The energy was infectious, with engines roaring, dust flying, and custom builds that gathered a lot of looks.

Alliance Rugby Club | Keller, TX

The Alliance Rugby Club has been around since 2002. It was founded by a few individuals who love rugby and hope to pass that love along to their children.  The Club is based on the foundation of Attitude, Respect, and Commitment.  I got to make it out to capture the match against vs. the team from Arkansas.

Saint Cecilia’s | Roanoke, TX

I have always been enamored by the art of tattooing.  The talent it takes, the history and stories behind each tattoo.  I met up with Mario from Saint Cecilia's Art Studio.  I watched him bring a creation to life and listen to the story of his journey and how Saint Cecilia's came to be.

North Texas Roller Derby | Denton, TX

I had shot some of the matches for the North Texas Roller Derby. I was then approached to capture a variety of individual poses for the team to use in marketing materials.  The members of the North Texas Roller Derby are always fun to shoot and watch.

The North Texas Roller Derby promotes roller derby as a competitive sport to inspire inner strength, entertain fans, and enrich their community.  I volunteer to shoot their bouts and I am constantly amazed at their talent on skates and their level of athleticism.

Jessica and Tyler had their original private ceremony at the Neon Museum in Las Vegas. I was brought in to capture this ceremony for their extended family and friends at the 4 Eleven in Ft Worth. It was a smaller ceremony and consisted of an exchanging of vows capped off by a send-off with sparklers.
