Come as you are
(cuz you’re pretty neat!)

Maybe you're like, "But Janet I'm not a model or an actor!" Great, I'm not either! When you step in front of my camera, you’re seen and celebrated exactly as you are. Because we’re all just regular humans around here, and that’s a beautiful thing! I’m here to shoo the nerves away so you can soak in all the glorious (and messy!) moments with your favorite person.

Meet your new ride or die!
Hi y'all, I'm Chanze!

I’m your go-to Central Texas photographer who’s obsessed with love, happy/cry moments, and all the wild, unplanned, perfectly imperfect chaos that makes you who you are... as a couple, a family, or somewhere beautifully in between.​ And let's be clear... I live for those in-between moments! The soft looks, the goofy giggles, the hand squeezes you didn’t even realize you were doing, and don’t you worry your pretty little head, I’ll guide you through everything!

So you'll never have to wonder what to do with your hands (we’ve all had a Ricky Bobby moment, LOL)

And in case you're wondering...

I really am just a funny chick,

who is addicted to

iced coffee, loves food,

and laughs at her own jokes.

It’s been four years since our wedding, and I still can’t stop raving about Chanze. From our engagement shoot to our wedding day, she was everything you could ever hope for in a photographer—talented, professional, and incredibly warm. My husband does not enjoy taking pictures (understatement of the year), but Chanze made him feel so comfortable and relaxed that he ended up smiling—genuinely! Not the forced “let’s get this over with” smile, but real, joyful moments that she captured so beautifully. Her ability to style, pose, and direct with ease made our entire experience feel effortless. She didn’t just take photos—she told our story. Our friends and family still comment on how natural and timeless our photos are. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond to make you feel amazing and capture the most authentic version of yourselves, look no further. Chanze is a true artist, and I recommend her to everyone I know. She’s simply the best.

Chanze is amazing! She photographed my husband and I for our engagements, our wedding, our first Christmas with our first baby girl, and family photos since reconnecting after a cross country move. Chanze is top notch! Her photos are amazing, she makes you feel so comfortable, especially with young ones not cooperating- she still finds a way to capture a beautiful image! She helps with your outfits so it’s stress free and honestly, she will become your friend! Chanze is such a great person and is so talented, she will become another part of your family. she's been there for it all! I highly highly recommend her to anyone and everyone, you will not be disappointed!

We truly cannot say enough amazing things about Chanze! From the moment we met, she made us feel so comfortable, like we were working with an old friend. Her energy, professionalism, and creative eye completely blew us away. Not only did she capture every special moment beautifully, but also went above and beyond to make the entire experience fun and effortless. The final photos are absolutely stunning—every single one feels like a work of art. You can genuinely feel the emotion, love, and joy in every shot.
We’ve received so many compliments on our photos, and we are beyond thrilled with how everything turned out. If you’re looking for someone who truly gets it, who brings talent, heart, and magic to their work, look no further. Chanze is hands down the best decision we made. We will treasure these photos forever!
