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!

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.
