My name is Judy and I’m a Dallas, TX based newborn and family lifestyle photographer. I’m also a stay-at-home mom with 3 kids, and I previously worked as a registered nurse. Becoming a photographer was completely unplanned, and the journey actually started back when I had my first baby. During that time, I remember feeling anxious, inadequate, lonely, and exhausted as a brand new mom. It took time, faith, and community to walk out of that season in a good place. So how did this lead me to photography? I often marvel as I look back at photos of my son during that time. Isn’t it wonderfully strange how photos can be so forgiving? When I look at those photos, I don’t really remember the lows or the tears. Instead, I remember his sweet smell, how his hands felt grasping my finger, or how his giggles sounded like cackles.
 
That’s why I’m doing this. I believe in the power of photography to remember and celebrate our stories: to capture photos that will remind us of the beauty in the mess, the extraordinary in the ordinary, and the love that triumphs over whatever other stories happened along the way.

So glad you're here!
