Here are my available dates for March, April, & May for those of you in the Dallas & Ft.Worth areas:

March 22 : One day only @ the Botanical Gardens in Ft. Worth.

April : At this time I will not be making a trip in April due to the numerous Engagement Sessions I have in Amarillo but will notify everyone if that changes.

May 20th-27th : I will be shooting a wedding that Saturday and have a couple of family sessions booked that Sunday but still have plenty of availability throughout that week.

If you're interested in any of these dates please shoot me an email or phone call asap as my book is filling up fast! LAST CHANCE UNTIL SEPTEMBER (except for baby's 1st year clients)!!! Peace like a river.

Lazy Sundays

The two loves of my life took a nap on this lazy Sunday afternoon. Now don't think we kept ourselfs couped up in the house on such a gorgeous day (currently 71 degrees). I'm sitting outside while posting this entry listening to Ella holler, "Watch Mom!!!" as she slides down her slide on her Daddy's lap. *Sigh* I L-O-V-E my life.

(Pay no attention to the that thing in Ella's mouth. We can't seem to get our 2 1/2 year old off the pacifier!)


(Notice the Hello Kitty tattoo on Ella's hand...courtesy of her Aunt Sarah Jane. "Ella want tattoo like Mommy Daddy?", she often begs. So I gave her one today. My Mother's going to LOVE this...haha.) Funny how we don't want her to have a pacifier but tattoos...totally ok!

Lilly : 3 Months

Here are more images from the adorable Lilly's session! She is just too cute for words. I LOVE shooting babies and families! Anyway, here are more from her session starting with a sample baby announcement and some collages thrown in, too. Just want to give you guys more examples of some of the fun products I offer. Thanks for all of the sweet comments everyone! You are all so encouraging and the reason why I do what I do. Peace!

Lilly : to be continued...

I'm working on the images from Lilly's first photo shoot (recent Dallas home session). She is such a gorgeous baby and has these big beautiful eyes! I love babies with big eyes like Zara & Kayt (See Courtney & Ashley's blogs)...I hope you girls enjoyed that little plug. :) I wanted to post one of my favorite images from Lilly's session. I'll post more of her photos in a few days. For now enjoy this little teaser! I think this image is so fun but super sweet and intimate at the same time. I wanted to somehow capture Lilly being held by her Daddy's big strong hands. This is what I came up with and I hope it's one of those images that Lilly (and her Mommy & Daddy) will treasure forever. Let me know what you think! Grace & peace.



*Edit* I wanted to share another image from Lilly's session. I just can't get over these eyes!!! Gorgeous.

Carrie : Ft.Worth

I had fun with Carrie's session...the shooting and the editing. Carrie is the sister of one of my favorite brides, Colleen. You might remember her from the bridal session with the infamous green wall everyone always comments on. (= Carrie is super gorgeous and has a great personality so I was stoked when she asked me to shoot these pictures for her. She needed to add to her portfolio a bit so we decided to go out in Ft.Worth and do a few looks. It was a super (understatement) sunny day and we shot at mid-day which isn't the best time of day for lighting purposes. A year ago I would have been totally stressed about all the backlight and shadowing but I've worked hard over the last year to better myself in using the light (however harsh it may be) rather than trying to combat it. I asked my little sister Sarah Jane to come along to assist me (using reflectors and what not). Carrie probably thought we were crazy but we had a lot of fun. I'm definately going to use Sarah on more of my Dallas area shoots! Anyway here are some of my favorite images from the day. I'm pretty happy with the finished product! Comment, comment, comment. K thanks!!!
