Where Legacy Is Grown — On Purpose
There is something deeply meaningful about land that is tended with intention.
My family and I live on a working homestead in Santa Fe, Texas — where we grow much of our own food, raise chickens and goats, care for bees, and live closely connected to the rhythms of the seasons. It is a life rooted in patience, craftsmanship, and care.
That same philosophy shapes every portrait I create.
What began as a horse property slowly transformed — thoughtfully and intentionally — into a private portrait farm designed exclusively for photography. With my husband’s help, we curated every corner of the land to create a refined, natural backdrop where families can slow down and be fully present.
The greenhouse was built from antique windows, filled with living plants and beautiful light.
The pond holds a restored wooden rowboat.
The vintage truck rests in tall grasses at golden hour.
Oak trees filter the evening sun.
Seasonal wildflowers bloom without being forced or staged.
This is not a public park.
This is a private, fully designed portrait property — created with legacy in mind.
A Farm. A Studio. An Experience.
The Little Ranch Farm is more than scenery. It is part of the experience.
Families who travel from Houston, Galveston, and surrounding areas step into an environment that feels peaceful, elevated, and intentional — yet warm and welcoming.
Every session is thoughtfully guided.
Every detail is handled for you.
Wardrobe assistance, styling, curated spaces — all designed to make your experience effortless.
You simply arrive.
I take care of the rest.
Why I Photograph Families
As a mother and homesteader, I understand how quickly seasons change.
The toddlers who chase chickens become seniors.
The maternity glow becomes newborn snuggles.
The little hands holding yours won’t always fit so perfectly.
Photography, to me, is not about trends.
It is about preservation.
The portraits we create here are meant to be passed down — to live on walls, in albums, and in the hands of your children one day.
That is why I do this.
A Boutique, Award-Winning Approach
As an internationally recognized and award-winning photographer, I bring both artistry and intention to every session. My work has been honored in national and international competitions, but the greatest reward remains the families who return year after year.
The Littles grow.
Families expand.
Maternity becomes newborn.
And your story continues here.
I Would Be Honored To Photograph Yours
If you are looking for more than just a location —
If you want an experience that feels curated, calm, and deeply meaningful —
I would love to welcome you to the farm.
Let’s create something that lasts.
