North East Texas Photographer & Videographer

I’m the heart behind Silverlight Visions Photo and Film—serving couples and families across East Texas, including Longview, Tyler, and surrounding small towns.

I’m a storyteller first, camera in hand second.

I grew up in the small town of Daingerfield, Texas—surrounded by a big, loud, loving family and a whole lot of creativity.

Before I ever called this a business, I was the kid:

  • filming everything on a camcorder

  • taking photos on my Samsung phone

  • editing little “films” just for fun

(yes… even camcorder selfies 😅)

That passion turned into something real when people started asking me to film high school football games, small-town weddings, and local events. In 2016, I officially launched my first business—and what started as videography quickly grew into both photography and film storytelling. Now, after years of growth and evolution, that journey has become Silverlight Visions Photo and Film—a brand built to reflect something bigger:

Real moments. Real connection. Real stories.

IT’S SO NICE TO MEET YOU!

Meet my little family, they often tag along to shoots with me.

I’m also a mom to a wild, funny, incredible little boy—
and if you’ve ever met me at a session, you might’ve seen my family nearby.

They are my why.
They’re the reason I understand how fast life moves… and how important it is to freeze the moments that matter.
