I’m meeting with 4 potential florist vendors in Houston this weekend (+ 4 potential baker vendors), so I thought (being the super “Type A” that I am) I should make mood boards to bring to each/all florist to show them what inspires me and what I’m leaning towards, but can’t put into words. Flowers are [...]

I had the privilege of taking the Ray Family photos at the Dallas Arboretum on Saturday afternoon. It was one of the most beautiful weather days we’ve had in a while… Fall was truly rolling in… and so was an un-planned rainy afternoon. Kelsey, my friend / assistant for the afternoon and I arrived at [...]

Here is a slide show of the photos I shot of the family while at our annual family reunion in Galveston at the beginning of July. The weather was actually surprisingly nice. It was cooler in Galveston than it was in Dallas. Strange! Brian and I were there for about 2-3 days, while everyone else [...]

I had the privilege to shoot the engagement photos for Abbi Martin & Geoff Ice a couple weekends ago in Fort Worth. I go “way back” with the Ice family… I went to TCU with both Geoff and his older brother, Jamey, and I’m also a big fan of their band: G.R.O . I’ve done [...]

I’m pretty sure God is really challenging me with problem solving regarding my past hand full of photo shoots. The last 3 on-location shoots I’ve had, have resulted in CRAZY weather, which we’ve had to work around THAT day due to time constraints/deadlines. It usually results in some great shots, but takes a lot of [...]

I’ve been a little behind on blogging lately. My blog posts have mostly been saturated with posting photos from recent photo gigs/events, etc.. and not much “writing.” But that’s ok with me- it means I’m taking more pictures! Here are some photos from a wedding I helped Carissa Byers shoot. It was a fun wedding [...]

On Easter morning, I had the privilege to shoot photos for the DFWMGRC Hunt Test out in Terrell, TX. (It was basically an event for the Golden Retreiver club to qualify their dogs for a working/hunt certificate… or at least I hope I’m close (Brian knows more details.) – Sorry if I’m way off.) Anyway, [...]

I’m not sure how I came across it, but I landed on the MCP Actions site/blog… and purchased some Photoshop actions. I was so excited to use them, as I’ve seen other phtoographer’s I’ve been following (on Twitter) and reading their blog use them, that I couldn’t wait! You’ll see the photos below have all [...]

What a perfect Sunday afternoon. Brian and I went to church, and since the weather was so nice- we packed a little picnic and headed up to Frisco. After our picnic, we set up the skeet shooting machine and shot skeet for a couple hours. It was so nice to “get away” and [...]
