A few years later, I became a Certified Event Planner and Professional Photographer. I quickly discovered that photographers have more fun and often have more opportunities to help people create lasting memories. By the age of 19, I was planning and photographing weddings with budgets ranging from $75,000 to $140,000. While I gained valuable experience in the luxury market, I realized that my pass
ion was serving couples and families who wanted beautiful, high-quality experiences on a realistic budget. I believe everyone deserves exceptional photography and professional service regardless of their budget. That belief is what inspired Sassy Shots Photography. After successfully building and selling a thriving business, I returned to the industry with even more education, experience, and determination. Sassy Shots Photography was born from a desire to bring high-end service and beautiful imagery to everyday people pursuing their dreams. My Photography Style
My style is clean, timeless, fun, and authentic. It does not fit neatly into a single category such as modern or traditional. I love creating visually compelling images that tell a story while also capturing the classic portraits that families treasure for generations. When you book a session with me, you can expect laughter, genuine moments, and an experience that feels natural rather than stressful. Many clients tell me they forget they are even being photographed. Some say having me as their photographer is like having a professional comedian with a camera. My collection of tried-and-true mom jokes certainly helps. At the same time, I work quickly and efficiently to keep sessions enjoyable and on schedule. More Than a Photographer
My background as an event planner allows me to offer more than photography alone. For weddings and special events, I often assist with timelines, logistics, and behind-the-scenes details that help everything run smoothly. Venue managers and event planners appreciate that I respect timelines and work efficiently. Most venues allow only a short window for formal photographs after an event, and I have built a reputation for delivering excellent results within those time constraints. I also believe in educating clients about the value of professional photography. As a parent, I understand how quickly life's moments pass by. The reality is that I rarely pull out my professional camera for my own family unless I am working. That experience has taught me just how important it is to have a professional there to preserve memories while allowing you to enjoy the moment. A Little About Me
Fort Worth born and raised, happy to finally be fully living out here in God's country, in my family's hometown. I enjoy being different and loving God and people in everyday life, in every way! If I am not shooting with a Nikon camera, I am probably spending time at the range with my Nikon scope :) . I am the proud mother of five amazing children and a stepson. I have planned and photographed more than 1,100 special events, although I have not yet had one of my own. My husband and I will do a vow renewal eventually. When that day comes, I hope I am surrounded by professionals who care even a fraction as much about the details as I do. I am an extroverted / introvert. I can work a room when needed, but I also enjoy quiet moments. I am a faith-based business owner who believes in integrity, service, and treating every client like family. I genuinely love the photography industry. Because of my planning background, I rarely wear only the photographer hat. When a client needs guidance, organization, or support, I am happy to help.
