dream big…. Galveston Beach Photographer

we all start somewhere with photography and i can say I’m at a very good happy place with my work and what i have to offer… I recently closed down my personal Facebook and opened a new one because like any other photographer i had thousands of other photographer pages on my feed, i loved seeing their breathtaking photos but i would always question my self, am i that good? why do they have 100likes and i have only two? do people hate me? is my work not good enough? I was tired of asking my self the same question over and over  so after thinking it over i came to the conclusion that i was the problem, i was thinking too much… when i was younger i would tell my friends let the world spin and let them talk about you.. don’t let that keep you up at night because it’s not good for the mind or your heart… it takes a toll on you sometimes and i decided that wouldn’t be me anymore. so with that being said look forward not backwards only think positive and if you are happy with your work as well as your clients move forward and if you keep busy you won’t have time to worry about these little things. 😉

i went to the beach last week for a lovely session with this beauty and it was just amazing..

last time i did a beach session was back when i started my business back in 2012 and i was a started like anyone else, didn’t really know how to shoot at the beach so my session was at 10:30am clearly that was not a good idea images where way over exposed clients could hardly open their eyes do to the shiny bright sun it was just a bad experience overall and i told my self i would never go back, not unless i knew what i was doing.. no one helps for free and if they do you will be blessed to have them in your life… so these past years i shot at the beach only for my self never really shared anything until recently and i got a lot of good reviews from them and made me feel like i had finally concord shooting decent beach sessions.. with that being said get ready for next Spring because this lady will be offering beach minis and i hope you choose me to capture those wonderful moments with your family.

If you are a photographer and have questions about shooting at the beach feel free to contact me with several questions and i will gladly answer them it wasn’t easy for me and i would love to help you out if you have any questions.

I love when i get booked for birthday parties… i love capturing the love for the bitty baby who is turning a year old. I’m a sucker for details you all know that and that ladybug cake was so beautiful i just wanted to take it home and have it as decoration. After so many months on planing the fricks session the day finally came and it was for their daughter who was turning the big one. a very intimate birthday party just family and a few friends, it all turned out perfect, party ended just in time for sweet Audrey to take her afternoon nap but boy did she have fun playing with her cousins and specially once the smash the cake part came she was all for it, i always let the parents know that just because you see great shots of one year olds digging in to the cake doesn’t mean that they will, i’ve shot a few birthday parties and not all of them were happy about eating the cake but Audrey loved it and she even shared some with her daddy, i loved how she got to experience new food and how she loved it. As you can see it was such a fun birthday party. Happy Birthday Audrey.

TX Beach Photographer

We started out summer with a trip to south texas… i’ve never been to any other beach besides galveston just because it’s literally like my back yard only  40 minutes away from me, yes i know there are many beautiful beaches out there and maybe one day i will make time to take a week or even two week vacation to one but for now I’m more than happy to travel south and have fun at padre island it’s so beautiful there, i have never been in blue water before which is sad very sad lol, and padre had the most amazing water ever. I was amazed and if you are coming from galveston you will be to so don’t think I’m over doing it, we all had such a great time and you can tell who had the most fun my little fish.. who ran from one side to another back and forth with her dad and enjoyed just about very second of it, of course she wanted to stay there for ever and ever but reality hit once she saw we were crossing the bridge and seconds later she was completely nocked out.

One of these images made it to love photographs beautifully this week and i’m so honored they chose my image to be featured on their blog, so be sure to check them out and leave them some love.

Did you see that black and white shot?? mmm yeah it’s something a little different but I’m loving it and it’s my WOW image this week.. I love it so much that if i had a beach house i would print it in a huge canvas and hang it in my living room but for now printing it in a 5×7 and hanging it my hallway to remember our padre trip.
