I shot three sets of photos that I feel shaped my interest in the way I wanted to help others tell their stories. These range from personal projects to musicians to couples, but they have one thing in common; They are art that captures art. YOU are the art that is captured. I guarded these series of photos and shared them cautiously, until someone asked to purchase a copy of the Blue Collar Project. Feeling seen, I knew I wanted to pursue this avenue; I just had no idea where to begin.

And then came my love, Ty. On our very first phone call, Tyler asked me what I was most passionate about. As you guessed, I began gushing about the collection of photos (see personal projects) that I had been harboring. Without question, he began helping me plan.

Velvet Vision was born, and my passion is at an all-time high. So, here we are, helping you express the 1 in 400 trillion kind of phenomenon that you are. We are here to remind you that we are genuinely delighted to see your smile and grateful to capture what makes you so lovely.

Originally from the serene forests of East Texas, I ventured to the cultural kaleidoscope of Japan, to the dancing lights of Alaska, and now to the vibrant life of San Antonio, Texas.

Always holding an eye for the unique, I was drawn to photography, among other creative outlets. It fascinated me, all the ways you could read a photo. After snagging my first digital camera in Japan, I set off to capture the neon blue coastlines of Okinawa. My photography stayed contained as I dabbled overseas for several years.

After moving back to the US and attending school for a different creative trade, I moved to the last frontier. In awe of its beauty, I dove in and purchased my first "big girl camera."

I fell in love with the art... I fell very, very in love with the art. With the unseen perspectives and the unheard voices. Then came the love for others' passions, for other people's creativity. Really, just a love for humans and the way we love each other.
