C'est Fini....

I've officially closed out my 2010 season! For the rest of the year I will be meeting with new clients and working hard to get all of your images processed and delivered.

I would like to thank all of the wonderful couples I've met and worked with this last year. Some of us will see each other again in 2011 and some of us will only meet again in passing. I'm really amazed at the number of times I've come home from a shoot this year and marveled at how awesome the people I just photographed were. It's been a pleasure and a privilege to experience your love for each other through the lens of my camera.

And because all posts are better with pictures...please enjoy my favorite image of the year. I think it might be my favorite image of all time... Ever.

Cow says "moo"...

In the last week I've learned something about cows. They're nosy :) I've had two engagement sessions on ranches in the last week and was entertained and at times slightly disconcerted by our bovine audience. It's a little weird to be standing with your back to fifty or so cows, all staring intently at you...at least for a girl from California anyway :) Here are a few pics from my adventure Friday at Rattlesnake Ranch.

Happy Mooonday :)

Bliss Baby!

Last month I had the opportunity to shoot Kati and Tyler's cover image for the November/December issue of The Wedded Bliss. I didn't shoot their wedding, but I had a great time hanging out with them, The Wedded Bliss staff and the nice guys at the Gilmer Fire Department who let us crawl all over one of their trucks. Hopefully that won't be the last time I get to shoot a picture from the hose bed of a firetruck! Here are the three shots that were considered for the cover and two more of my favorites from our session (of course one is a shoe shot!).

Thanks again to Sandra and J.C. at The Wedded Bliss! The magazine is on news stands now all over East Texas. Go get one!!!

Have a great weekend!

Nikki and Jonathan's Engagement

It's weird to be sitting here in a sweater, freezing, while I post this July session. It was hot...and so were Nikki and Jonathan ;)

Courtney and Kent's Wedding

If you don't like the color pink you should probably skip this post :) Otherwise, please enjoy it and then pop over to Facebook for the extra scenes...

The Tooth Fairy is Real!

And she's coming to my house tonight!!! My little boy Nathan just lost his first tooth! I'm pretty sure it's the very first tooth he cut :) I'm not entirely ready for my baby to be grown up enough to lose teeth! Sigh.

When I was pregnant with Nathan someone gave me a book of essays written by other mommies. The author of the first essay said, "having children means learning to live with your heart walking around outside of your body". I don't know if the author was the person who coined that phrase, but I do know that she was right.

Happy Friday! :)

Brianne's Bridal

I loved this shoot! We had a fabulous location (which is available to my brides, let me know if you're interested), wonderful company and beautiful overcast skies that threatened rain all day but never delivered. We laughed, sipped pink champagne and tiptoed around invisible snakes. Thanks for the memories ladies :)
