"Got a BFA from TCU in Graphic Design, freelanced all through college, worked at Tractorbeam and then Switch before leaving design world to stay home with our newborn triplets in 2011. Realized working for someone else was not going to work with our new giganto family so while doing some freelance design work here and there, I started learning a lot more about photography, had a lot of brain picking conversations with friends who were photographers, and asked friends to let me "practice" taking their family photos. During my first few years as a working photographer I assisted on a couple of weddings and realized I was pretty good at it, and started a wedding photography business with a partner in 2014. I split my time between family and wedding photos along with other small commercial jobs interspersed throughout and have been doing a combination of those practices ever since. Right now I'm continuing to photograph families, interiors, headshots and a small number of weddings each year. I'm applying to grad school for an MFA in intermedia art to begin next year, so I'd love to talk about how flexible freelance work can be as your interests and personal goals and desires evolve over time."
