These two little girls are dear to my heart. I started photographing them both about a year ago when little Lucia was born. Since then I was able to document her at 6 months and now again at almost a year! It is amazing to see how she has grown, started holding herself up and should be walking any day. Aurelia has turned into a three year old with attitude and spunk and it is so cool to see her becoming herself.

Mommy and me sessions are some of my favorite as the focus is very much so on the children but with the young ages having Mom so close gives them a sense of security so she is often in the images or interacting with her children. Here are some shots I just melted over and notice Lucia’s amazing eyes and Aurelia’s excited little laugh.

Last week Amanda & Wade were married in Weatherford and it was awesome to share their day with them. My favorite part of their day was before they ever saw one another, when they exchanged gifts. Many of my couples do this before the ceremony but never have I gotten so choked up over a gift before. Wade had a beautiful scrapbook made of their history together as a couple and there really was not a dry eye in the room. He also gave her a necklace and she bought him a fun black watch he had been eyeing for months.

Romantics were fun as we stopped traffic in downtown to jump out of the limo and sneak in some photos in front of the courthouse before their reception.

Amanda applying makeup that she would soon cry off after opening Wade’s gifts.

This little one just loved her dress! She couldn’t help but play with it and ending up ripping it before the ceremony! A needle and thread is a handy thing to pack on your wedding day.

What a fine looking bunch! Big thanks goes out to Matt (all the way on the left), I shot his wedding last year and he reffered Amanda & Wade to us.
Married at last!

Took advantage of the lot across the street from the church, I loved this tree’s white branches.

Dancing and having fun with some fraternity traditions

The candy bar was awesome! So many choices it was hard to choose.

Amanda warned him but Wade still got a little cake on her face.

I hope you guys had an amazing honeymoon and I can’t wait to see you soon!

Last weekend I had the pleasure to photograph Alicia. We went to an abandoned run down house and some funky walls in downtown Fort Worth that fit her vibrant personality. To add more color Alicia accessorized her dress with a necklace her friend had given her from Afghanistan.

Oh how I love to shoot senior sessions! Teens have such personality, style and attitude that it really is a great blessing to spend time with them and capture their senior style.

Morgan will be graduating in just a few short months and plans to head off to Baylor in the Fall. She is a girl with style and we went all over town finding interesting places to serve as her backdrops.

There is still time to get your senior photos taken before the 2008-2009 school year comes to an end or if you want to take care of it early we are now looking for 2010 senior rep’s with opportunity for free products and perks! Here are some of my favorites from Morgan’s session.

I am so excited about today’s wedding. It is the first of the spring season and I am extremely lucky to be photographing one of the sweetest couples today, Amanda & Wade. I can’t think of a better wedding to kick of the wedding year with so today my friend Jenna and myself will be out in Weatherford for their wedding. Sarah Bunyard is also out shooting a fabulous wedding in Dallas with Sarah Rizy.

Since it is her wedding day I am relieved to share Amanda’s bridal portraits. Amanda and Wade are a very laid back couple and so easy to talk and laugh with. Her personality definitely led her to choose this ultra simple yet elegant English Netting gown by WTOO brides at Bliss Bridal. We visited Chandor Gardens in Weatherford for her bridal as well as the old train station in down town where she donned her cowboy boots for some shots. These boots are awesome! They have beautiful detail work on them and were a gift from Wade. Hopefully he will be floored when he sees she wore them for her bridals.

To all my brides with spring dates, we will be seeing you soon!
