Welcome to In a Lifetime Photography
Real Moments. Real Emotions. Wedding Photography You Can Trust
Your wedding is about more than just photos — it’s about the people, the laughter, the emotions, and the moments you’ll never want to forget. My job is simple: to capture those moments honestly and beautifully, so you can relive them for years to come.
Based in Cypress, Texas, I’ve been photographing weddings and families across Houston and The Woodlands for over 15 years. My style is classic and natural — no heavy filters, no forced poses — just genuine images that tell your story.
Whether it’s your wedding day, an engagement session, or family portraits, I approach every event with the same focus: creating images that feel real, timeless, and true to you.
You’ll receive not only a curated digital gallery to share with loved ones, but also the option to turn your images into heirloom albums and wall art that last for generations.
If you’re looking for a photographer who combines experience, reliability, and a personal touch, you’re in the right place. Take a look through the galleries, and when you’re ready, let’s talk about how I can help tell your story.
Honoring 250 years of courage, service, and sacrifice.
Proud to have captured the 250th Marine Corps Ball held at The Woodlands Waterway Marriott — a celebration of tradition, honor, and brotherhood that continues to inspire.
Happy Birthday to the United States Marine Corps — Semper Fidelis! 🇺🇸

Every detail of her look was a masterpiece — from the fitted lace gown by @impressionbridalstores to the soft glow of the reception at @shirleyacresevents. ✨
The way she moved — graceful, confident, radiant — reminded everyone why bridal elegance never goes out of style. It’s not just about the dress. It’s about how she brings it to life.

Because weddings aren’t just about the couple… sometimes the best-dressed guests have four paws. 🐾💍 These two pups stole the show in their bow ties, proving that love really is a family affair.
Happy #NationalDogDay to all the furry friends who make life (and wedding days) even sweeter! ❤️🐶✨

When vows turn into laughter 💍✨ During their ceremony at Jennings Trace, the groom slipped in a little inside joke that caught his bride completely off guard—in the best way. These are the unscripted moments that remind us weddings aren’t just about formality, but about joy, personality, and love that feels real.

When the groom shows up in Game Over socks… you know the party’s just getting started. 🎮😂
Because weddings aren’t just about the big moments—they’re about the little details that tell your story.
