Kim & Jeff O'Pry

noreply@blogger.com (Jamie) — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 00:35:00 +0000

This weekend Kim and Jeff tied the knot. When I first met Kim I never would have imagined I could have imagined that I would fall in love with her & her family like I did. Mom and best friends showed up to lend their support and a few funny jokes for both the engagement session and bridal session. I couldn't have been happier to have them there either. This is the warmest family. They have been so easy for work with and I am actually disappointed that the wedding has now come and gone. It was BEAUTIFUL! Kim had every detail covered and with fabulous taste! The party was a blast.....and the groomsmen....well they like usual were a hand full. I hope everyone else had as good of a time as I did. I walked away wondering how in the world I get paid to have SO much fun!?!?!

I put together a little slide show from the big day. Check it out! http://www.pbjstudio.com/O'Pry

Here are just a few of my faves!

How could I forget???

noreply@blogger.com (Jamie) — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 23:25:00 +0000

I am not sure how I forgot to blog about Becca and Ryan. She is only one of my all time favorites. Becca and Ryan will be getting married in 2009. I can not wait to see how this wedding all comes together. Girlfriend has impeccable taste so I expect good things! Last month I drug these two down into Deep Ellum for their shoot. It had been a while for me since I had been down there. We had a great time walking what seemed to be miles. :-) Well I did at least....maybe cause i was in flip flops. I am SO looking forward to seeing you two again very soon!!

Rachel & Jordan Tie the Knot

noreply@blogger.com (Jamie) — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 20:41:00 +0000

Rachel & Jodan got hitched in October. Talk about a beautiful and touching wedding! These two have the biggest hearts and have touched so many people. It was obvious when you see just how many people showed up to be apart of their big day. Rachel had some of the most creative ideas including a milk and cookie table to replace the traditional grooms cake. I know! Super cute!! I had such a great time getting to know these two and their families!

Here are just a few from their wedding...Did I forget to mention I love any bride who is willing to get on a trampoline in her wedding dress?? Really! That just happen!

Engaged:: Kim & Jeff

noreply@blogger.com (Jamie) — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 20:33:00 +0000

This weekend I headed out to TWU with Kim & Jeff. These two are getting hitched in January. I had a great time shooting with them. We had so many laughs.... mostly at Jeff's expense. What a good sport. :-) I can not wait to be apart of their big day. Kim has the most amazing family. I was fortunate enough to shoot Kim's grandfathers 90th birthday a few months back. With this family I can't imagine not having a great time. We ended our shoot in downtown Denton. We found this GREAT old Chevy pickup. I wanted to steal it but since that is still illegal I decided to just take pictures of it. Here are a few favorites from our shoot.

Patience is appreciated!

To all of my clients who may think I have fallen off the face of the earth the past week I want to apologize. I have had "one of those months". Seriously...a whole month of crap? Along with working so much that my eyeballs hurt. Then to follow up a bad few weeks my grandmother had a stroke this morning which just makes me want to throw my hands up in frustration and exhaustion. Please hang in there if you are waiting on orders, album changes, or who knows what else that is on my 3 mile long list. I promise I am working on it. Surely nothing else could go wrong....Right?

An update on my grandmother (Meema)....she is in good condition. She has lost strength and some movement on her left side. She seems confused at times and doesn't make sense...but she is able to talk with us and is loving all of the attention I'm sure.

Thanks for the prayers and emails I have received. Love you guys!

Bryan & Meghan :: Just Married

noreply@blogger.com (Jamie) — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 15:21:00 +0000

Bryan and Meghan tied the knot on October 18th at Paradise Cove. I dig this venue. The view of the lake overlooking the ceremony is so peaceful. The staff is great to work with as well. Meghan and Bryan booked me over a year ago and it felt like this day would never get here. The wedding was bitter sweet for me in many ways. They are the last of this big group that will be gettin hitched. Such a sad day (for me).....but not. See? Bitter sweet! Here are a few from their wedding that I had to share! Love you guys and wish the the best of luck!!

I can't look at this picture without hearing "You've lost that lovin feelin" in my head....

Engaged:: Shannon + Blake

noreply@blogger.com (Jamie) — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 04:26:00 +0000

This weekend I had an engagement session with Shannon and Blake. Blake actually asked Shannon to marry him on the lake where we decided to shoot. I love finding new locations to shoot at. Especially when the location has a story behind it like this one. I can't wait until their wedding in 09! They were so much fun to work with and you can tell the camera loved them. Here are just a few of my faves!

Man I love this job!

noreply@blogger.com (Jamie) — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 23:31:00 +0000

This is SO overdue!! Here are a few faves from Allison's wedding at the Westin Stonebriar. What a great party!!! These two loves birds had a beautiful wedding and it was so touching to hear friends and family recount their love story. I was so lucky to be welcomed into this big crazy family. Man I love my job.

Heather Take 2!

noreply@blogger.com (Jamie) — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 00:22:00 +0000

Take two for Heather's senior session went much better then our first try. We also busted out the red couch again. How can you not love this couch?? It is so much fun. So as you can tell I had a really busy weekend. This was shoot number 5! I am happy I survived it all. Here are a few from Heather's session.

Had to throw in this one....

Little Ethan

noreply@blogger.com (Jamie) — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 23:30:00 +0000

Yesterday morning I headed out for a shoot with little Ethan. He may be a little guy but he has a big personality. Ethan is a HUGE fan of tractors and trains. So much so that we had to abandon our shoot location because there were tractors and Ethan was not remotely interested in a camera with a big yellow tractor only feet away. We ended up finishing up our shoot at the the local John Deere tractor dealership. He could not have been happier. After sitting in every tractor on the lot we headed off for a much needed burger. I had such a great time shooting this little man. Here are just a couple of favorites.

Busy weekend!

noreply@blogger.com (Jamie) — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 23:21:00 +0000

Sunday I drove out to the big city of Wichita Falls to photograph Kenzie for her senior portraits. Kenzie lives in Iowa Park but we headed to downtown Wichita for our session. Talk about a ghost town. I felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. I don't know about her but I had a blast. We even got to pull out the new red couch. After driving around all week in with it in the back of my suv it was time to put it to use! To top the day off.....There was even a bonus for me....Taco Casa! Yeah, don't hate until you have had it. Talk about yummy goodness. My mouth is watering thinking about it. Or maybe it is te steaks I'm smelling for dinner. Either way I'm gettin hungry.

Vickie & Steve

noreply@blogger.com (Jamie) — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 23:02:00 +0000

Vickie and Steve will be gettin hitched next weekend. Friday evening these two love birds met me out for a little shoot before the big day. Steve is a Harley man so he brought his bike along for a fews pictures. I had such a great time with them. Vickie and Steve will be having a private ceremony and I can not wait to capture every moment. Congrats you two!

Senior:: Heather

noreply@blogger.com (Jamie) — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 01:00:00 +0000

This weekend I did a senior session with Heather. Unfortunately we were defeated by some heavy winds and called it a day earlier then I would have liked. So part 2 will be coming in a week or so. Heather is a volleyball player at Newman Smith. In my opinion...one of the best!!! She was so fun to hang out with for the afternoon. As you can see she is a little hottie too. And not on the market. Her sister tells me that she won't be allowed to date until she's 25.....I happen to be that sister. lol Yes, this is my youngest sister Heather. I am SO proud of her! She has an amazing heart and is always crackin me up. Here are a few of my favorites!

My little baby sis....

noreply@blogger.com (Jamie) — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 21:11:00 +0000

If you look up "HOT" in the dictionary you may find a picture of one of my sisters. This is Hillary, she is my about to be 20 year old sister. WOW that just made me feel old. She is super sweet (most days) and I love the heck out of her. She has been my model on more occasions then I bet she would like to recall. I had to drag her out for a few pictures with my new camera. LOVE EM!

BIG NEWS.....

noreply@blogger.com (Jamie) — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 02:19:00 +0000

This week I made a HUGE change! We are talking almost life changing type of change......yeah that may be a little much. But it is a change non the less. I have been a Nikon girl since I was 18 (don't ask how many years that has been). Well this year I made the leap I am now a Canon girl! Yep, I sold every bit of my Nikon gear. If you didn't already know it, once I decide to do something I decide to dive head first and this can often happen over night. Hopefully that isn't a bad quality. As you can imagine I have shot just about anything that has crossed my line of sight this week. Today on the way home from Wichita Falls I decided after several years of passing this hole in the wall place that sales any type of hub cap you could ever not want to buy. I decided I was going to stop and take pictures. This was purely for my enjoyment but I had to share. I cant wait to post more photos from the latest member of my family (yeah the camera).

Is this man not the cutest little thing!?!

Feel free to leave comments. It gets very lonely talking to myself some days.

Sr :: Brittany

noreply@blogger.com (Jamie) — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 02:56:00 +0000

Yesterday was one of those unexpectedly fabulous days. Besides the weather being hecka-amazing (I think I just made that up) I did a shoot with Brittany. Brittany is a senior at Newman Smith and plays volleyball with my sister Heather. Besides being a kick butt volleyball player she makes for a supa hot runway model. This girl was rockin the camera. I'm hoping college doesn't drag her too far away. I would miss my new little model. Thanks for such a fun afternoon (or should I say afternoon, evening and night) woman!

Hope you are ready for these.....

Rachel & Jordan

noreply@blogger.com (Jamie) — Sun, 14 Sep 2008 18:17:00 +0000

I met Jordan and Rachel for the first time as they pulled up to the location I had chosen for their engagement session. As you can imagine I was really excited to see that they were smokin hot. The camera really loved these two. Rachel purchased a wedding package I had auctioned at our churches building fundraiser. I could not be more excited to be working with these two. They will be gettin hitched in October so keep a look out!

Amy + John = MARRIED!

noreply@blogger.com (Jamie) — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 20:35:00 +0000

Last weekend Amy and John tied the knot.....bout time! I met these two a few years ago through a friend. Amy has been instrumental to my success this past year. She apparently has the biggest and best group of friends who all decided to get married this year. I do not look forward to all of the weddings coming to an end with this group. They have all throwin some of THE BEST weddings I have attended over the last two years. I feel like one of the "gang" when I am with these guys. They have all been so welcoming. I think I may shed a tear or two at Meghan and Bryan's wedding next month knowing it is the last one I have coming up from this group. I have had a blast meeting all of you and I look forward to a future of baby sessions with you guys. You have a photographer for life, if you will have her.

Here comes the fun part. After seeing some of the pictures from this reception you will know exactly why I have such a good time!

Who has the greatest job eva? Yeah, that would be me!

Bryan you may want to invest in those dance classes after all.

I said "I'M HAVING A GREAT TIME!!!"

I also had a special guest photographer for the wedding. JP has been the life of many weddings that I have attended. This weekend he decided to test drive the photographers equipment. He may not be the next up and coming star but I'd let him join me on any shoot...... More so cause he makes me laugh!

Goodbye vacation!

noreply@blogger.com (Jamie) — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 04:31:00 +0000

I just returned from some much needed relaxing on the white sand beaches of Florida. I spent a week with my best friend Laurie, her husband, their two too-cute-for-words-must-show-pictures little girls, and Daron. Our condo was off the hook!! It opened up to the beach and I spent as much time on it as I possibly could. Unfortunately 7 days comes and goes too quick. I am back in big D and was welcomed by the blistering heat. Boy did I miss that....NOT! I uploaded my favorite video from the week. While at Busch Gardens I met a lion up close and personal. I WAS protected by 2 inches of glass but I was still just a bit intimidated. Our last day in Florida, after I risked my life parasailing, we took some family pictures out on the beach. Here are just a few of my favorites. There are even a few of me!

Here is a link to some of our "candid" pictures from vacation. And the link to all of the Benzick family photo session as well as a few of yours truly.

*If you don't leave comments I may hunt you down. :-)*

Vacation time!

noreply@blogger.com (Jamie) — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 19:36:00 +0000

That's right! I am headed out of town for vacation before the sun comes up tomorrow. I am SO excited and can't wait to post pictures from the trip. The beach is calling my name!!! While I'm out I can still be reached via cell phone and email......don't expect that I answer the first time you call though. hehe I promise to return messages.

Michelle + Jason

noreply@blogger.com (Jamie) — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 06:33:00 +0000

Last weekend Michelle and Jason tied the knot. I have known Michelle for....well ever. She has grown into an amazing woman and fabulous baker from what I have heard. She met a great guy named Jason following a car accident. It's a great story if you haven't heard it.....I guess her cookies must be REALLY good. He is a a firefighter and all around sweet and considerate guy. They were married last weekend at the Hanging Gardens in Duncanville. The venue was perfect for Michelle's laid back khaki and white wedding and reception. Here are just a few of my favorites. I may have to blog a few of Michelle's bridal pictures too. She was such a beautiful bride. Congrats you two!!

Catherine + Monty

noreply@blogger.com (Jamie) — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 21:31:00 +0000

At first glance you may think Monty is a little intimidating...or was that just me? Turns out these two are a blast to be around. And I should know, our shoot lasted almost 3 hours. Monty was a great sport and has a good eye for photography as well. Catherine......well who doesn't like working with a natural born model. The camera loved her as you can see. Catherine and Monty will be getting married in October and I can't tell you how excited I am to shoot their wedding. I expect the best of parties out of these two.

Rachel + Chip

noreply@blogger.com (Jamie) — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 20:24:00 +0000

Rachel and Chip have been such a pleasure to work with over the last year. They had a beautiful ceremony last weekend in Ft Worth and I was so happy to be apart of their big day. Here are just a few pictures from their wedding. Their ring shot may be my favorite. I think it is just perfect for these two!

Yep, I still own a camera....

noreply@blogger.com (Jamie) — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 21:34:00 +0000

For those of you who have stumbled across my blog from time to and ask yourself if I am still a photographer. I'd like to just say that is sooo NOT the case. Actually I'm still doing it full time so I'd with out it I will be moving into a cardboard box on I-35. I really think I am just allergic to blogging but I am planning on seeing a doctor this week to get that all worked out. Stay tuned for more blogs then you could possibly care to read. No really, I swear.
