Pure Photography bio picture
  • Welcome to Pure Photography! I am so happy that your search has taken you to my "home." I hope you can tell that I love photographing families, children and high school seniors! I also hope you can see that this is not my hobby. I work very hard to give you professional portraits to hang on the walls of your own home and the best customer service you can find!

    My most asked question is, "How long have you been doing photography?" I started working for the best portrait photographer in central Texas in 1998. I basically ran her business. I did everything BUT get behind a camera. But, I learned what she did to make these beautiful images. Natural light, composition, clothing and personal consultations and then also being educated in the most up-to-date information in the industry. My husband and I moved to Abilene, TX with an empty nest in the summer of 2003 and soon after, there was no "leap of faith." But, a complete faith in what God was leading me to do with my time and energy.

    The name of my business is "Pure Photography," and my goal is to present you with beautiful, natural portraits that will give you great joy every time you look at them. And, when you get your portraits on the wall, we hope that is not the end of our journey, but the beginning of a wonderful relationship with your family for years to come.

Sweet Liam, 2005-2012/Abilene, TX Family Photographer

Here is our precious Liam last December 2010 when I had the blessing of going to Fort Worth and photographing he and his sweet family.  Liam passed away last night at home and surrounded by his family.  In the words of a wise little 4 year old friend of mine, “Liam is with Jesus now!”

One of Liam’s passions was clean water for people who do not have any.  Please, please, please take a minute and go to The Water Project and consider making a donation, no matter how small.  What an awesome tribute to such a Godly little boy.

Now you know why I do what I do.

Merry Christmas from Pure Photography/Abilene, TX Portrait Photographer

Santa came early to Miss Debbie and Mr. Mark’s house!  Brinkley and Patches are 6 week old Cocker Spaniel puppies who we already love to pieces.    They are soft, warm, sweet and love to give kisses, play and be snuggled.  I’m  sure you’ll get to meet them someday on a photo session.

Well, I certainly want to take a minute and wish all my clients and friends a very, merry Christmas!  I pray for you all to have a season full of good health and great joy and surrounded by those you love.  I’m fully aware, however, of those who are grieving this holiday season and whose hearts are so heavy.  I pray for them God’s infinite peace and comfort.

Thank you to all our client/friends for choosing us to be your personal photographer.  I hope we were able to capture images that will hang on your walls and every time you look at them, you are filled with great joy!

Merry Christmas from Debbie, Cindy and Mark!

Ashlyn and Amber/Abilene, TX Family Photographer

Those of you who know Cindy Stewart, my beloved sales consultant and dear friend, well, these are her beautiful daughters!  They are growing up so much and way too fast!  Cindy is very creative and came up with this great idea for her family’s Christmas card this year!  LOVE it!  And, then we captured beautiful images for her own walls at home.  Yes, Cindy is tortured to sit and narrow it down, just like our own clients do!
