ORGANIZATIONS

I am an active member in the following organizations

  • Professional Photographers of America (PPA, ppa.com)
  • ICON International Photography Awards (ICON, iconawards.com)
  • Texas Professional Photographers Association (TPPA, tppa.org)
  • Austin Professional Photographers Association (APPA, austinppa.com)

I am earning my Masters of Photography Degrees in both PPA and ICON via Image Merits, and I am a routine award winner in the local APPA competitions. In 2024 I competed in the annual APPA Annual Image Competition for the first time and earned 2nd place in the Portrait division. In March, 2025 I participated in the Texas PPA awards for the first time and was awarded a Bronze medal, 2 Distinguished Image Blue Ribbons, and 2 Seal of Approvals.

I also have earned distinguished awards and honors from The Knot, WeddingWire, and Boudoir Inspiration since 2015, including Best of Austin - Austin Wedding Day Style in 2015 and Best of Boudoir Inspiration in 2019 and 2021-2024.

Awards & merits awarded by these organizations via trained juror systems is the best way photographers can prove to their customers that they are the best of the best!

AWARD-WINNERS

Here are some of the images with which I have earned awards, merits, and placements. Since I started with weddings, many of these are wedding-based or portrait-based. I am hoping to enter family-based portraits soon.
