palo duro
My work is rooted in presence — paying attention, giving people space to be themselves, and documenting what unfolds naturally. The result is imagery that feels lived-in, warm, and true long after the moment has passed.
I believe the most powerful photographs are the ones that feel familiar — like they’ve always belonged to you.
I’m a portrait and wedding photographer drawn to honest moments, natural light, and stories that don’t need to be staged to feel meaningful.
A calm, intentional approach to photographing real life
Why I photograph the way I do
I’m not here to manufacture moments or chase trends.
I’m here to notice what’s already happening.
The quiet in-between glances.
The way hands find each other without thinking.
The laughter that comes when no one’s being watched.
Those are the moments that matter — and they’re the ones I preserve.
Rooted in connection, guided by intention
- Gentle direction without over-posing
- Space to move, breathe, and be present
- Clear communication and thoughtful guidance
- An environment where you don’t feel rushed or “on display”
You don’t need to perform for the camera — just show up as yourself.
From our first conversation to the final gallery, my goal is to create an experience that feels calm and straightforward.
