I photograph Galveston a lot, partly because the place feels so magical to me and it happens to be one of my most favorite places on earth. It also helps that it’s basically in my backyard according to Texas standards, so I’m there quite a bit.
The architecture of the city is forever changing due to the large amount of the hurricanes and tropical storms that hit the island throughout the year. Galveston is in a constant state of change but yet it still manages to remain the same. The complex and complicated state that Galveston is in at any given time is what gives the city its charm, and character, but it also gives it a feel that is like no other. It is as if Galveston has a heartbeat and a soul of its own.
I am a sucker for a beautiful building. The Grace Episcopal Church is one of those buildings that stopped me in my tracks. The Grace church was built in 1894, and added to the National Registry of Historical Places in April of 1975. It was another great work by Architect Nicholas J. Clayton, who is responsible for quite a few amazing structures scattered throughout Galveston. Nicholas Clayton and his designs are a major factor on what give Galveston its “life” to this day.

Hi there, I’m Beth!
This site is my world, my travels, my food and my thoughts, in pictures. I am a Photographer, and a Graphic Designer, doing what I love and living in one of the most beautiful places in all of the world, Texas!
Honestly, the field of Photography is so vast, and there is always something new to learn, so that title of “Professional” will be a fun, yet challenging goal to obtain. I have always loved photography and I’ve always loved to write so this is my perfect combo. The old adage is, “A picture is worth a thousand words”, this is true, but if you are anything like me, you want that little bit more behind what the photographer’s thoughts were at the time. That little extra is what I want this site to accomplish. I will also chronicle my time learning everything as I go along, which should be quite interesting in its own right. I am hoping that maybe I can ease someone else’s fears no matter what they decide to jump into. Because, when diving head first into anything new, it can be a lonely road to walk alone.
I have lived all over the United States from North Carolina, to California, and from Illinois, and finally resting here in Houston, Texas. What started as a vacation to the Houston area turned out to be the best move we have ever made. Before my feet ever hit the pavement, I knew I was “home”. When your soul is at peace everything in life becomes clearer and less confusing, so that alone, I know will help when conveying what I need to say here.
I am not “PC” by any means, this is real life, real thoughts, real experiences, and real photos. All photos were taken by myself, all are copyrighted, and I will always set out to use as minimal editing as possible. I feel that, too much editing takes away from the photo and also from the photographer, and their skills. If you have any questions or comments about my photos or posts or if you would like to purchase a print of mine, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thank you for visiting, happy scrolling, and don’t forget to hit the FOLLOW button!
