Dallas Immigration Protest 2025

Dallas Protest at Trinity Groves. I’m a strong believer that art (photography included) should make you feel something. That’s always the goal.  Though I’m known for capturing weddings, my first love was photojournalism. Before I ever photographed a wedding gown or vows under a golden sky, I was drawn to something raw. Something real. Photojournalism was my first love.

It was never about spectacle, it was about story. The kind that doesn’t ask for your attention with glitter, but instead holds it with truth.

On June 9, I stood behind my lens in the heart of Dallas on Beckley Ave, near Trinity Groves, where protest met presence, and culture met cityscape.

This wasn’t a planned shoot. It was a moment I found myself in one I felt convicted to capture not as a participant or commentator, but as a witness. As a photojournalist, my role isn’t to editorialize. It’s to document, to preserve, and to make space for real stories to be seen without distortion.

That night, the streets filled with pride and passion. Police lights reflected off hoods and windshields. There was tension, yes, but there was also unity.

Movement. Identity. Youth standing tall. Officers holding lines. Families watching from sidewalks. The city didn’t stop; it shifted.

I share these images, with care and prayer. Not every story needs commentary. Sometimes, it just needs light and lens.

Whether you’re here to observe, reflect, or engage, I invite you to see this collection not as a side to pick, but a scene to witness.

Photojournalism matters because moments like these matter. And sometimes, it’s in the stillness of a frame that we begin to listen.  I don’t post to push an agenda, just to document what I see and invite reflection. I’m committed to honest storytelling and always open to conversation, not confrontation.
