The men in your life deserve fine art portraits, too.

Fathers, grandfathers, uncles, and brothers. Men who were always there but are missing from those old photographs, as they were tasked with loading the camera and taking photos.

Great portraits are not taken. They are made with care, planning, effortless posing, wardrobe consultation, and deliberate lighting in my studio.

As Robin came to sit for her portrait, I crafted a lighting scheme borrowed from the 17th-century European masters. I have spent countless hours in various museums studying those remarkable paintings.

She is wearing a Calico Green Antebellum dress with a dark blue bonnet. I recommend viewing it in full-screen mode on a laptop or desktop computer.

I love creating painterly portraits.

Actor's Portraits

During a recent studio session, Satwika came to me for a set of headshots, an assignment quite different from my usual portrait work. Actor headshots carry a unique responsibility. They must be honest. Casting directors need to see the person exactly as they appear, not an overly stylized version.

We worked in the studio with a hand-painted canvas backdrop and slightly dramatic light. The setup was simple, intentional, and focused entirely on the face.

I directed her through a series of emotional shifts, including intensity, warmth, sadness, and confident resolve. Each expression became a different story and a different character waiting to be cast.

In a short time, we created 4–5 distinct looks, each truthful and believable.

It is always fascinating to watch someone step into different emotional worlds while the camera quietly records the transition.

Western with an Edge
First frame from an amazing shoot with Brittany in my studio, stay tuned for more.

The mask she wore couldn't hide the fire in her eyes.

Ao Dai is the national dress of Vietnam. We created these portraits in my studio to celebrate the cultural heritage of my client.

I love the character, mystique, and charm of small Texas towns. This is Bartlett, Texas.

Once again, a departure from studio found me using and shaping natural light to craft these portraits.

It was a long hot Texas summer. I was busy with my studio portrait sessions. But for this one, I stepped out to capture the magic of evening light and to enjoy the cooler fall temperatures.

Now booking outdoor and studio sessions.

The Lehenga: A Legacy in Thread

The Lehenga — a flowing long skirt adorned with intricate embroidery and hand-created patterns — has been cherished for centuries as one of the most elegant garments worn by women in India and Pakistan. Originating as royal attire during the Mughal era, the Lehenga evolved into a symbol of timeless grace, blending tradition, artistry, and luxury. Today, it remains a statement of sophistication, admired as much for its cultural heritage as for its exquisite craftsmanship.

This particular design, from Taj Fashion in Austin, embodies that legacy with a contemporary flair. Each detail, from the ornate patterns to the richness of the fabric, speaks of refinement and artistry meant to be celebrated. More than fashion, the Lehenga is a story woven in thread — a portrait of elegance that transcends time.

In my studio, I seek to honor garments like this with portraits that carry the same sense of permanence — timeless images to match timeless design.
