Helen and Doug chose the beautiful mountains of Cloudcroft, NM, for their engagement session, and while we got caught in the rain, it only added to the magic of the day. Instead of letting the weather dampen the mood, we embraced it and made the best of it—capturing their love story in a way that was uniquely theirs. The misty mountains, the soft rain, and their genuine connection made for an unforgettable experience. It was such a special moment to document, and I’m so glad we got to create these memories, rain or shine!

Celebrating her 16th birthday was the perfect way to mark this exciting time in her life. It’s such a special milestone, and she wanted to capture the energy and personality that makes her unique. A relaxed photo session was the ideal way to celebrate her big day, creating memories she’ll treasure for years to come. This session was all about honoring her and the exciting new chapter ahead.

It’s been such a joy to watch this sweet family grow with each milestone, and I’m so honored they chose me again for this maternity session. From buying their first home to announcing their pregnancy, celebrating their daughter’s first birthday, and now capturing this next pregnancy, I’ve been able to document their beautiful journey every step of the way. It’s truly special to see how their love and family have blossomed, and I’m excited to continue capturing these precious moments as they welcome their new little one.

The experience is all about making memories while you’re in the moment—relaxing, having fun, and feeling at ease as we create images that reflect your unique story. Every session becomes a meaningful keepsake, a visual reminder of where you’ve been, and a celebration of how far you’ve come.

Fill out the contact form on my website to get started! Let me know a bit about your session, and I’ll be in touch within 1 business day with all the details. Be sure to check your spam folder just in case my email gets lost in the shuffle!
Be sure to schedule your session in time before any important deadlines. When planning your session, it’s important to consider the season and how the background will look, as West Texas has very late springs. If you're hoping for lush, green scenery, it’s best to schedule your shoot in late summer or fall, when the landscape is at its most vibrant and picturesque.

I've done two separate sessions with Esther and she is just amazing. She did my maternity and helped me feel so beautiful even while I was so swollen and uncomfortable. Definitely recommend!
