Creative Engagements
This session was great! Kelsey really wanted a good sunrise photo which I've never done before. That particular morning was one of the foggiest mornings ever which ended up being a bit challenging but overall, a fun change for me. We didn't get our sunrise, but we agreed the fog left a romantic and mysterious feel for the pictures:) Check it out!
This couple is so special to me in such a short time! Their story and evident love for each other make for an easy couple to photograph:) They took me to some fun spots in Dallas including Tillman's Roadhouse! Such a fun environment to dine! We also stopped by a flower shop called Dirt. If you are a bride in the Dallas area, check them out. The arrangements I saw were pretty amazing and even if you aren't a bride, go to the store and buy something:)
I can't wait for this wedding in December! Hope you love them!!
What a fun session and couple! Ashley and Josh are so comfortable together and can make each other laugh so easily! (Love) We walked around downtown Tyler and I got to explore a new location which is always fun and sparks new creativity:) Hope you enjoy the photos!
This couple was so much fun to work with! They both have a love for photography and really trusted me and did whatever I wanted to try:) Geraldine was working those high heels climbing rocks, hills, and bridges! You are awesome! ha
Here were my favs! Can't wait for their March wedding!!
Karla and Kale…that has such a nice ring to it right?! I met up with the couple in Abilene and Kale actually lives right off of the lake giving us the perfect backdrop for pictures! Their lab, Jake, joined in on the fun! I love when people incorporate their dogs as I feel the same about mine, they are family!
Hope you love your pictures! Here are some of my favorites:)
These two are so dear to my heart! I've known Amy and Ryan for years and we have all seen each other grow up! We all went to the same church camp year after year until we got too old:( Amy is one of the most sincere people I know and cares about her relationships. She can literally make me laugh at anything! (laughing thinking about it). And I'm so happy she is going to marry Ryan! God prepared the right timing for them to become something more than just friends and I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to document their love and be in the wedding! Can't wait guys! Love you both so so much!!
So amazing!!
Me and Amy!
I had so much fun with Courtney and Greg and there was a lot of laughter involved! God also blessed us with great lighting for the evening. Hope ya'll have an amazing time planning the rest of your big day and happy wishes with everything!!
Ryan and Sylvia are too sweet for words and are officially added to my club of awesome clients! They just ignored the camera and let me capture their everyday interaction which I love! They also brought some fun props which always adds to a session. Since some of their relationship last year had to be long distance, they brought these retro phones to shoot with:) So cute! We met up in Abilene and managed to find some greenery despite the lack of rain these days. Hope you enjoy these two as much as I did!
Bene and Kevin are amazing clients! There is nothing better than taking photos of people who are so comfortably in love! McKinney was the perfect backdrop for the photos and we were blessed with great romantic lighting to top it all off:)
The couple is getting married next July and I seriously can't wait for the wedding!
Chris and Kirsten are so fun to be around. She is bubbly and friendly and Chris knows just how to make her laugh! I always appreciate a guy that comes to the session and can have fun with it! Kirsten did such a good job with bringing props and I loved her use of color!
We met up in good ole Abilene and the weather was perfect for our session! Thanks again for such a fun afternoon:) Can't wait for this wedding in November!
My first shoot in Lamesa,TX was a success due to this wonderful couple! Lamesa is a special place as this is where they first met. We actually were able to go to the exact location where they first laid eyes on each other, which happened it be this awesome old cotton gin. Needless to say I had lots of fun shooting there. We finished up the session at her grandparent's farm where there were beautiful skies, tractors, and open fields. I love these kinds of backgrounds when I get the chance to shoot them:)
They are getting married in October and I can't wait for this wedding! Hope you enjoy your photos! This first picture is of them standing in front of the cotton gin where they met. Love it!
Dear Blog followers, I have so much in store for you this month! I can't wait to show you what all I've been up to including a trip to California to meet the amazing Amelia Lyon! I'll start with Julie and Josh!! I had so much fun with these two! They have infectious laughs and I can't wait for their wedding in a couple of weeks:) Julie brought some great props which I always love! We started out downtown and ended our session with a sugar rush at a cute little ice cream and candy shop. Hope you enjoy and get ready to see more of these two soon:)
So cute!!
I feel like I've known this couple for years! From the first time Megan and I talked over the phone, we instantly hit it off and have so much in common:) These two are getting married in just two weeks and I can't wait for the big day! They have lots of exciting changes ahead with tying the knot and moving to London.
Their engagements were taken in Galveston and it was so fun being around boats! Not a whole lot of those in the LBK;) Thanks for making my job fun and can't wait to shoot more photos of this beautiful couple!!
Now off to more editing and packing for Florida for an amazing wedding on Sunday!
What an amazing couple!!! I shot Dea Dea's son's wedding in 2009 and now she is getting ready to have one of her own:) Scott is awesome and really appreciates the stop and go process of taking pictures in different locations;) We had awesome light to work with and they are seriously naturals in front of the camera and needed minimal direction! Thank you for making it so easy on me:)
Congratulations and I wish you many blessings for your future life together:)
These two are amazing to work with! They took no time to warm up and I think the camera loved them as much as I did. Marcus and Nicole are getting marred in June in Austin, TX. I'm so looking forward to their wedding and for more shoot time:)
I found out Marcus actually served two tours in Iraq with my brother-in-law Jason! Such a small world! Both of you are so sweet and thank you for putting up with my silliness! I hope you enjoy your pictures!!
I love these two. They have been guests at so many of the weddings I have shot and the last two times when the wedding was over, they have brought me a piece of cake. Nothing tastes better at the end of the night:)
I met up with sweet Kaylie and JR on a windy morning in Dallas a couple of weeks ago. I love the drama the wind added to the photos. We did get to hide behind buildings and trees at times to get a break:) They were great to work with and I loved all the goodies they brought with them for the session. My favorite had to be Charlie, their cute puppy. I love people who love their dogs as much as I do!
These two are getting married in May and I'm so happy for them! Congratulations and I hope you enjoy your pictures!
Above: Loveliness!
Below: We finished our session up at the Dallas Arboretum.
I had such a good time with Austin and Anita! I got to catch up with Austin who I haven't seen for probably ten years! We used to sing our little hearts out together on the church praise team. I found out he is still singing on the praise team and it's a good thing..such a great voice! I was so happy to meet his fiance, Anita, who is a delight! PS. She has amazing red hair! I laughed the whole session and you will see they had some laughs as well:) Congratulations you two and happy planning until the big day in May:)! Not too far away:)
Below: These last ones make me oh so happy!
I had so much fun with Jaclyn and Chris on their E-session:) They were my first session of the new year and if this was any indication of how 2011 will go, I am thrilled. Abilene was our location as Jaclyn is finishing her last semester at Abilene Christian University. Chris, however travels all over the place as he plays professional baseball for the LA Dodgers. After hearing this and that Jaclyn plays tennis for ACU, I was of course impressed and wanted to contribute, but I've heard cheerleading is not an actual sport:(
Check them out. They are adorable! Can't wait till December!
Kai and Graham are saying I do in March and what a great day it will be! Kai and Graham met at the phone store where Graham works. Kai's phone had broken and Graham remembers rushing through his customer so he could talk to her. Just a perfect meet cute! Here are my favorites from their e-session:)
I met up with Ashley and Garrett at the amazing White Rock Lake and we were so nervous all day about the weather! Huge rain clouds were surrounding us, but luckily it did not rain until the very end! So we ended up getting some dramatic skies which I loved! I've been excited about shooting these two since I had my first meeting with them a while back. They are so much fun and I love all the props they brought along:) Here are my favorites!
