A Beautiful Engagement Session with Nia and Jonathan
Hermann Park in Houston, Texas, provided the perfect setting for Nia and Jonathan’s engagement session. We began the chilly but sunny morning at the Mecom Rockwell Colonnade, where the elegant arches added a romantic and timeless charm to the photos. From there, we made our way to the Sam Houston statue, a striking landmark that gave the shoot a unique and meaningful touch.
Nia and Jonathan were such a sweet and joyful couple, and it was wonderful to capture their love. Nia’s dress made the day even more special—it was handmade by her mom and carried deep sentimental value. Her diamond ring shone brightly, catching the light in every shot and adding a touch of brilliance to the photos.
Spending time with Nia and Jonathan, hearing their love story, and seeing their connection was truly a pleasure. Thank you both for letting us be part of this special moment in your journey. Wishing you all the love and happiness in the world as you move forward together!

A Holiday Tradition with Claudia, Jim, and Their Wonderful Family
There’s something incredibly special about being invited to capture a family’s cherished moments year after year. This Christmas, we had the joy of visiting Claudia and Jim’s home to photograph their beautiful family. Claudia and Jim are more than clients to me—they’re one of my favorite couples, and I’ve had the privilege of knowing them for almost a decade. From the very beginning of my career, they placed their trust in me, and it’s been a heartfelt journey watching their family grow and evolve through the lens of my camera. This year’s photoshoot was no different, filled with warmth, laughter, and the festive spirit of the season. Their home radiated holiday cheer, and their two wonderful kids brought so much energy and joy to every shot. It’s always amazing to see how much they’ve grown, and I feel honored to document these milestones for a family so dear to me.
Claudia and Jim, thank you for allowing us to be part of your lives and for trusting us to capture these precious moments. It’s always a pleasure, and I look forward to many more years of friendship and photography.
Happy holidays to you and your family!
Celebrating Evlalia’s Baptism at St. Basil in Houston Texas
Recently, I had the honor of photographing a special Greek Orthodox baptism for Evlalia at St. Basil Church on Eldridge in Houston, Texas. Due to the sensitivity of the event and out of respect for the family’s wishes, only a limited number of photos are available to share from this beautiful occasion. The ceremony was nothing short of breathtaking. St. Basil’s, with its stunning architecture and serene atmosphere, provided the perfect setting for this sacred milestone. The priests officiated with great care and reverence, making the moment even more meaningful as Evlalia was welcomed into the Greek Orthodox faith. The family’s warmth and hospitality were truly touching. They welcomed us as if we were one of their own, and their joy was contagious. It was a privilege to witness and capture such an important day in Evlalia’s life. After the ceremony, the celebration continued at Seasons 52 in CityCentre, Houston. The evening was filled with love, laughter, and tradition, including delicious food, drinks, and, of course, spirited Greek dancing! It was a lively and joyous event, perfectly embodying the happiness of the day.
Evlalia, may your journey in faith be as beautiful and vibrant as the celebration in your honor. Thank you to the family for allowing me to be a part of such a significant and unforgettable occasion.
Capturing the Energy of McIntyre’s Sports Bar – Downtown Houston
I recently had the opportunity to photograph McIntyre’s Sports Bar at their downtown Houston location, and this shoot brought back some memories for me. Many years ago, this very building was home to the Spaghetti Warehouse, a place I hadn’t visited in ages. Walking into McIntyre’s for the first time since the transformation, I was blown away by how much had changed. The effort that went into rebuilding the space was incredible, and the result is a beautifully modern and vibrant bar that truly captures the spirit of Houston. As I walked through McIntyre’s, I was struck by how the space had been reimagined. The carefully designed lighting and inviting layout immediately stood out, making it the perfect spot for Houstonians to gather for a game or unwind after a long day. The transformation was impressive, with the space managing to feel fresh and contemporary while still being welcoming. One of the things I wanted to highlight in my photography was how McIntyre’s pays homage to the old building’s charm while creating something entirely new and exciting. With large-screen TVs positioned throughout the space, sports lovers have a great view from any seat, while the spacious layout allows for both lively gatherings and more intimate hangouts. As a photographer, it was a pleasure to capture the inviting atmosphere and the way the space draws people in. McIntyre’s is not just about the ambiance; it’s also known for its impressive beverage selection. Whether you’re into craft beer, cocktails, whiskey, or wine, there’s something for everyone, and I made sure to showcase the energy and warmth that surrounds the bar as patrons enjoy their drinks and conversations.
For me and fellow Houstonians, McIntyre’s downtown location is a perfect example of how a space can be transformed into something special while still honoring the building’s history. It was a pleasure to photograph this dynamic space, and I hope my photos convey the laid-back, welcoming vibe that McIntyre’s has created for the community.

A Joyful Celebration: Heba’s Baby Shower
I recently had the pleasure of photographing Heba’s beautiful baby shower, where she, her husband, and their three children celebrated the upcoming arrival of their fourth child, a baby boy. It was a heartwarming event filled with family, friends, and an outpouring of love as they all gathered to shower Heba and her family with gifts and well-wishes.
The celebration was a perfect mix of joy and tradition, with an incredible spread of Middle Eastern food that everyone enjoyed. The delicious dishes were a highlight of the day, and I must say, the spanakopita was truly to die for! The desserts were equally memorable, especially the stunning cake—a delightful half vanilla, half chocolate creation that was as beautiful as it was delicious, leaving everyone with smiles on their faces.
One of the most memorable moments of the day was watching Heba and her family open the gifts. Surrounded by loved ones, they gathered around her, admiring each and every thoughtful gift that was given. It was a touching sight, as the room filled with laughter and excitement, making the event even more special.
It was such a pleasure to capture these beautiful moments for Heba and her family. Their warmth and love for one another shone through in every photo, and I’m honored to have been a part of this milestone in their lives.
As Heba and her family prepare to welcome their new baby boy, I wish them nothing but happiness, health, and continued love in the years to come. May this new addition to their family bring even more joy and blessings into their lives.
Gaby & Chris
Recently, I had the privilege of photographing Gaby and Chris's intimate wedding in Houston. The ceremony took place at the courthouse, where only a few close family members and friends gathered to witness the couple’s union. Despite the small guest list, the day was filled with warmth and love, making it a truly special occasion.
After the ceremony, the celebration continued at the Federal American Grill on Katy Freeway. The reception was cozy and inviting, with an atmosphere that reflected the couple's genuine connection and the strong bonds they share with their loved ones. Friends mingled and had a great time at the restaurant, enjoying the relaxed setting as they shared stories, laughter, and heartfelt toasts. The evening was filled with intimate conversations and moments of pure joy, making it a night to remember for everyone present.
Capturing these moments for Gaby and Chris was an honor. Their day was a reminder that the most meaningful celebrations are often the simplest, filled with love and shared with those who matter most.
