Adam and Tiffany

Well, it has been a while since I have posted anything new!  Yesterday was such a beautiful day and it was perfect for a shoot!  It was a little bit windy but was so nice out!  I was able to do a shoot with a friend from high school and her fiancee!  They recently got engaged and they are getting married in October.  It is going to be a farm wedding in Dallas.  I can't wait to see everything come together and be a part of it!  Adam and Tiffany were a lot of fun and enjoyed goofing off with one another.  That really does make for the best shoots!  Here are a few....

Tiffany's idea and worked out so well!  

Thanks Adam and Tiffany!  Can't wait for October!

Josh and Erica

Here is one of my mini sessions from the past couple of weeks.  Erica was one of my friends in middle school and we were able to connect through Facebook.  Obviously!  I was able to do a shoot for her and her husband, Josh.  It was on a Sunday and it was snowing that day.  It was freezing!  We could not sit on anything because everything was wet and cold, but it turned out awesome!  They are such a nice couple and I can't wait to hang out with them and get to know them better!

Thanks Josh and Erica!  Merry Christmas!

Nick, Kristy and Aria

This was one of my many Christmas mini's from the past week.  Kristy is a very good friend of mine from college and we also used to work together.  She has been such a good friend and we are trying our hardest to begin hanging out again on a regular basis.  We have realized that we both love to scrapbook.  We are now having weekly scrapbook dates so we can finish projects that we have started but not finished.  Hopefully I can help her with Aria's book and help her get caught up on the last couple of years.  And hopefully she can help me get caught up on my scrapbook of mine and Austin's first two years before I need to scrapbook for the wedding!  Kristy and I have always found stuff that we have in common so this is just one more thing!  Kristy has the cutest little girl with the reddest hair I have ever seen!  Aria is in pre-k and oh my goodness is she a diva!  Here are a few of my favorites!  I hope you like them!

This is Aria.  Look at that hair!

A family pic.  I really like this one!

Kendall and Blake......or is it Stephen?

And this is the Bowman kids.  I love love LOVE them!  They are so much fun!  I really enjoyed photographing them.  It was easy and they were tons of fun!  Kendall is beautiful and Blake is such a ham!  Their mom, Meredith, works at Hope Church and I have gotten to know her very well over the past year and a half.  She is one my favorite people in the world!  Here are some of my favorites!  Enjoy!

Kendall.  Apparently something was really funny!

Blake.  He is so cute!  Great picture too!

First time I have tried this format.  What do you think?

So cute!

This one made the Christmas card!  I love the lighting on this one.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

The Standridge Family

This is an amazing family.  Jeff and Jennifer are great parents and have raised two great kids.  JT is a great kid who volunteers in the student ministry running the lights for Wednesday nights.  Sara is such a cute girl and so stinking sweet!  They are such a nice family and it was a super fun shoot!  Plus, the weather was awesome!

The Wahl Family

 Michael and Starla are an awesome couple and they have three beautiful girls, Brittany, Bailey and Bethany.  My soon to be husband (Ahhhh!!!) works in the student ministry at Hope Church in Dallas under Michael.  I know that Michael has been a great help and a mentor to Austin over the past three years, as well as an awesome friend!  Thanks Michael for all you do!  The first day we scheduled a shoot it was absolutely freezing and it started pouring rain!  So we had to reschedule.  The second shoot was awesome!  The weather was great and they were awesome!  Glad I had the opportunity to photograph them!

Michael and Starla.  

The girls.  I love this picture!

I love their facial expressions

Family Shot!

Thanks Wahl Family!

Shipp Family

It's been a while since I have posted!  I have had several shoots but I have not put them up.  I had the privilege of photographing the Shipp kids one Saturday morning.  And oh my goodness it was FREEZING!  Jason drove their car over so that the kids who were not getting their picture made could sit in the heat!  It was a quick shoot because of the cold and because the kids were awesome and got straight down to business!  Here are a few of my favorites.

Jack is such a little man!  

This is Lily.  This ended up being my favorite picture from the whole shoot.  That serious face is awesome!  So photogenic!

Besides being absolutely beautiful, Abbie is probably the funniest middle school student I have EVER met!  She makes me laugh so much!  Beautiful Abbie!

The whole family.  They were frozen at this point!  Can you tell?  I thought this picture turned out super cute.

Thank you Shipp Family!
