Colorado Sneak Peak

admin — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 04:52:04 +0000

If I could live anywhere in the world right now, it would be this little town in Colorado where everybody seems to know everybody, and everybody knows when you’re not from around there… Lake City. It is absolutely beautiful and my home-away-from-home! Here’s just a few pics from the trip with more to come!

Lake San Cristobal

This one is one of my favorites, and also the last of the sneak peak…

The Lavender and White flower that you see is the Colorado State Flower, the Colombine!

Until next time…

(All photos are available for print and all proceeds help send me to YWAM next spring! Contact me for pricing!)

The Neese Family

admin — Wed, 05 May 2010 05:11:43 +0000

I love this family. So much. Its ridiculous. All eight of them.

Zach&Jen

Simeon, Judah, Charis, Maggie, Nora, and baby Sam.

This is a really incredible family, and I got to take some super fun pictures with them!

This shoot originally came about because Sam is now 6 months old, and Nora is almost 2! So we tried to commemorate these amazing milestones!

Normally I am a natural light photographer, but the crazy Texas weather quickly prevented that from happening! Here are our results from that day:

All the girls…

and the boys…

here’s a few more of Nora…

and a few more of Sweet Sam

and last but not least for tonight…

Love you guys!!

This is no ordinary engaged couple. This is my sister, and my now, soon-to-be, brother-in-law!

Jenna & Brandon

Our first location is the place where they are going to have the wedding, in this very place they will stand, exchange vows, then exchange there very first kiss.

So Precious!

Bling Bling!

This next picture CRACKS me up! So much!

Hahaha!

and I think this one’s my favorite…

Molly | Haltom Senior

Molly is a senior this year! And a stunning one at that! She contacted me to take her senior pictures back in January. Unlike every other senior I have shot, she told me that she just wanted to be outdoors.

No graffiti. No stone walls. Just outdoors!

YAY!!

I loved this shoot so much!

Molly is a French Horn player! I love the photo above, and the photo below!

This girl is so cute!

and the last shot for this post…

Congratulations Molly!

Happy Birthday Roots Coffeehouse!

admin — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 21:09:48 +0000

Happy Happy birthday!!

Last week I was able to go out and celebrate the one year anniversary of Roots Coffeehouse, and coffee house that was started by a friend of a friend, who has now become my friend… confusing enough? Okay, great! All you really need to know is that the coffee is awesome.

Roots asked two of their favorite musical artists to come out. The first was Sean Russell! He did an awesome set! I hadn’t heard any of his music till that night!

Matt and Janice are the owners of Roots, they got up and shared a few fun facts about the goings on at their shop!

and their beautiful shop!

Next up on the musical menu was Cody Carnes!

Cody is a friend of mine, and I’m a HUGE fan of his music! Everyone should go buy his new EP The Lighter Side on iTunes right now!

Great Job Cody!

Happy Birthday Roots! Thanks for being a part of our community I hope that you guys are here for years and years!

James&Whitney

admin — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 23:05:13 +0000

It may be April 1st, and therefore April Fools, but there is no doubting these two! Especially with how perfect the weather was! All you Texans know how bipolar the weather has been, and therefore you also know what a gem it was to get the sun and warmth in the same day!

Meet James & Whitney!

James did a great job on the ring!

Whitney’s step father works at the company that makes Slurpee machines, and there will be Slurpees at the wedding! Yumm-o!

I saved the best two for last! The one above, and the one below are my favorites from the day!

Congratulations guys! Best Wishes!

Sam | Southlake Senior

admin — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 06:42:58 +0000

Sam has been a friend for a few years now. I can’t even remember where or how we even met! While taking her senior pictures we reminisced about “the good ol’ days” while taking these pictures!

She is so gorgeous!

Being a good Texas girl Sam brought along her cowboy boots! And looked so cute in them!

Sam is attending the University of Alabama in the fall, and so of course we had to pull out the tshirt!

And last but not least, the little black dress! So classy!

Congratulations Sam!
