Hello,
I'm Tex
Portrait Photographer
I’m a portrait photographer based in St. Louis, capturing the real, everyday moments that make life beautiful. I’m a girl dad, husband, die-hard Cubs fan, and, if we’re being honest, I quote Ted Lasso way too often.
As a dad, I know how fast life moves—one moment you’re holding tiny hands, and the next, they’re reaching for the car keys. Time doesn’t slow down, but portraits allow us hold onto the moments that matter most. Whether it’s a family milestone, a senior stepping into their next adventure, or the love between two people, my goal is to create images that feel real—full of life, laughter, and the kind of joy that doesn’t need to be staged.
I believe the best photos aren’t forced or overly posed; they’re the ones that capture who you are, in this season, exactly as you are. Because real life is worth remembering.
My approach
Your story matters, and my goal is to capture it in a way that feels real, natural, and effortless. I want you to look back at your photos and feel the moment—not just see it. Whether it’s the playful chaos of a family session, the quiet connection between a couple, or the excitement of a senior stepping into their next chapter, I create space for authentic moments to unfold.
I believe the best photos happen when you’re comfortable, having fun, and being yourself. That’s why I keep sessions relaxed and easygoing—no stiff poses, just real emotions and interactions that tell your story. Every milestone, big or small, deserves to be remembered in a way that feels true to you.
At the heart of it all, portraits aren't just about pictures—it’s about preserving the moments, the emotions, the details, and the fleeting moments that make life beautiful.
Let’s capture something meaningful together.
