HI, I'M HARPER
Texas Wedding & Portrait Photographer
I've been a professional photographer with a primary focus in wedding and engagement photography since establishing my business back in 2014.
I'm a goof, I'm chatty, I love to laugh, and I bring all of that into my work and the way that I interact with you to dig into the real stuff that deserves to be captured.
I'll work through my whole process with you to curate an artful collection of photos that sets a distinct vibe, pulls you through a range of emotions, and is sure to capture not only your most photogenic side but also your uniqueness and pure, authentic joy.
I love photography as an artform for how important it is; not only for yourselves, but also for the people who love you now and in the future, and can't wait to share it with you!

"The goal is not to live forever, but to create something that will."
"By the wedding day she seemed like a long lost best friend! My family loved working with her and we all just felt so comfortable on the wedding day. When we got our images back, we were STUNNED. Every memory and important detail was intricately captured, and she captured all the emotional moments of the day without missing a beat."
- Karina
GET TO KNOW ME
I'm married to the love of my life, Curtis (that hawt hunk of man over there) and I'm a mom of two!
Teagan (10) is independant, extremely outgoing, and creative. She has strongly preferred to keep her hair short since she was about 6, and usually dresses in more boyish styles. I'm pretty big on letting her do whatever she wants with her look just as long as she still looks clean and taken care of, so we've had a lot of fun together dying her hair all sorts of colors in the past couple of years. She loves to roller skate and is a total daredevil, and is always baking or working on a new drawing.
Jacob (6) is an extremely sensitive, silly, loving, empathetic little guy. He's also extremely smart. When I say smart, I mean like he randomly learned multiplication and division before Kindergarten even started with no help from us, he tests in the top 1%, and spends a lot of his day teaching US about the solar system. Get your autographs now, because I think this dude might invent something or discover a planet someday. Jacob has some special needs that we have been working on finding answers for since he was a baby, including feeding issues, severe motor delays, and unexplained weakness.
One of the biggest perks of my job is how much of my time is spent working from home (it's at least 85% of the business) which allows me the flexibility to not only support our family but still focus on my kids, and I ansolutely love that!
My Family
This photo is 4+ years old because I'm that bad at keeping up with our own family photos despite being a photographer myself.
Hobbies, Interests, & Likes
+ I love flowers and dabble in floral design whenever I can. The majority of my closet was floral prints at one point, until I realized it and made a conscious effort to add in some more solid colors so that I would maybe look less like an old lady's couch (at least sometimes).
+ I'm a total homebody! I love living in a relatively small space that I can easily decorate to feel cozy and eclectic. Each day I wake up, do a quick little reset to make the place clean again (just enough to not want to scream anymore) before I turn on some soft jazz, light my candles, and brew my coffee. My kids have gotten accustomed to my routine and will even ask for it if I haven't done it all yet. We all love to feel peaceful and in our happy place!
+ I love the holidays, maybe even a little too much. I always start dreaming (obsessing) about fall, pumpkins, christmas lights, holiday music, and thanksgiving food sometime during the hottest part of summer (hell) when I almost can't take it anymore. On that note: I hate summer, we should all petition to cancel that.
