Something I've found myself loving is photographing HEMA tournaments. When I picked up a camera a few years ago I never thought I'd be in the position to photograph this kind of thing.
All in Photography
Darrell Vannostran - Portraits - Plaza District
I've always loved the Plaza District and there are times when I really miss living in that area. It's changed so much over the last few years and become one of the coolest places in the city.
Oklahoma State Fair
I don't think anyone would argue if I said the best part is the food. I love the deep fried everything, especially the Twinkies.
Hot Springs National Park - Arkansas
THERE MUST BE QUITE A FEW THINGS THAT A HOT BATH WON’T CURE, BUT I DON’T KNOW MANY OF THEM.
— SYLVIA PLATH
Ashley Trattner - Portraits - Oklahoma City
I'm never going to get tired of bragging about my cousin. Seriously, this woman is incredible. She's dedicated, caring, and honest.
Point Lobos State Natural Reserve - California
It turned out to be one of the best decisions of the trip. Maybe it was the time of day; the setting sun working it's golden hour magic, the ocean so clear and so blue, the wildlife, the flora, everything about this stretch of coastline was incredible.
Pintail Wildlife Drive - Louisiana
We found this short loop off a scenic highway in Cameron Parish and even on an overcast rainy day we still saw a lot of wildlife.
Sherry & Taylor - Red String of Fate Portraits - Oklahoma City
AN INVISIBLE RED THREAD CONNECTS THOSE WHO ARE DESTINED TO MEET
End of Summer
Just as I get used to the idea of summer, fall is here. At least according to a school calendar. It's been a really long time since I've had to worry about sticking to a school schedule. But this week my four year old starts pre-k.
Tara & Jonathan - Bird Mask Portraits - Oklahoma City
I was so excited when Tara said she was totally in for doing a mask photo session downtown Oklahoma City. I loved the idea of doing something out of the ordinary
San Juan Mission Cemetery - New Mexico
Cemeteries are always quiet, under sun or grey skies, whether the markers are decaying stone or wood.
San Francisco - California - 2016
San Francisco has joined other places in my heart. There are spots I'll remember, where my legs felt like jello from walking up steep hills all day
Darrell Vannostran - Portraits - Oklahoma City
I THREW MYSELF INTO THAT FIRE, THREW MYSELF INTO IT, INTO HIM, AND LET MYSELF BURN.
— SARAH J. MAAS, A COURT OF THORNS AND ROSES
New Orleans - Louisiana
My favorite parts of New Orleans were the less crowded things; getting up earlier than anyone else and walking around before the streets were too busy
Saguaro National Park - Arizona
I left fascinated with saguaro; they're unusual and taller than I thought they would be, covering hills and dipping down into valleys.
Danielle & Family - Family Portraits - Oklahoma City
She's one of my mom inspirations. I don't know how she balances work and family so successfully but she does and looks amazing doing it.
Abandoned Church - Texas
I love abandoned places. I've always been drawn to them; old schools and hotels, a lone house sitting in the middle of a corn field.
The Goad Famliy Grandkids - Family Portrait Session
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN THE WORLD IS FAMILY AND LOVE.
— JOHN WOODEN
Brittany Trattner - Portraits - Oklahoma City
There are so many things I admire about my sister-in-law and it's hard to figure out where to start.
Robyn & Sonny - Martin Nature Park - Couples Portraits
Robyn and Sonny are two of the kindest, sweetest people you could ever hope to meet.
