Meet Colleen
Born with a keen eye for the creative, I always knew my career would be geared toward some form of art. During my time at Texas A&M University I got my first DSLR camera and began to realize that taking pictures and photography are far from synonymous. Upon graduating with a degree in Recreation, Park, and Tourism Sciences (the complete opposite of an artistic degree), my career path felt more uncertain than ever.
After working in child care and then as an administrative assistant, I was feeling unfulfilled. So, in true millennial fashion, I dropped everything and moved to Rome, Italy. Throughout my year in Rome I found myself completely enamored with the buildings and took thousands of pictures of the architecture. The images weren’t outstanding by any means, but I was drawn in like a moth to a flame.
I moved home to Southeast Texas in the spring of 2016 and contemplated my career path. After dabbling in various types of photography throughout the years, I felt that photographing real estate was a viable option as a small business. Within months of photographing for real estate agents and custom home builders, I landed my first gig with an interior designer and it was love at first shutter click. From that moment forward, I decided to hone in on a couple areas of expertise: interiors and architecture. I am drawn to interior and architectural photography because they offer the perfect blend of technical and creative. It is challenging in the field as well as in the post production phase, yielding rewarding results. A thoughtfully composed, lit, and staged image makes my perfectionist heart sing.
Humans are innately particular about their environments and it is my joy to photograph each space as inviting and wholly characteristic of each individual client. My goal is to translate my experience in that space into a set of images so that my clients can proudly showcase their stunning work.
