My little baby sis....

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.....

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

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

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!

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!

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!

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

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!!
