About Me

I love photography. It's more than a career for me. It's a passion - the way I captures and celebrates life. I'm a a native Houstonian and graduate of Howard University in Washington, D.C. At Howard, I was a section editor for the student newspaper, The Hilltop. It was there where I developed my love for photography. But it wasn't until several years later that I actually picked up a camera and started shooting seriously (besides, cameras cost too much for poor college students to afford). Since becoming a professional photographer, I have worked for several local and national magazines such as UPSCALE, Katy Magazine, Simply G Magazine, SOMOS Magazine, and Mahogany Fitness Magazine. In addition, I have provided photography for several small to large companies and churches in the Houston area: Halliburton, AllState, Associated Builders and Contractors, Roc-Homes, Couch Potatoes Fine Furniture, Good Hope Baptist Church, Christ Character Church, Star of Hope, Turner & Turner and The Gifted Toddler.At Goodall Photography & Design, my goal is to "Make You Look Good!" Call me today to schedule a portrait session.
