Engaged:: Kim & Jeff

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

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

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!

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!

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

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!

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.
