2009-06-15T14:56:00.001-07:00

I found these recently while looking for something else. They were taken around the time my beloved grandmother passed away & these are on her farm in Deerfield, WI. It reminds me of God's wonderful creations.

Reagan

2009-04-28T06:31:00.000-07:00

I got to shoot Reagan in the bluebonnets. I've been photographing her since she was a little baby & now she's a little pink princess!

Tyler is a precious little guy & I get to photograph him every month & watch him grow!

The Deeter Family

2009-02-23T20:43:00.000-08:00

I've been shooting the Deeter family for nearly 5 years - it's so neat to watch their family grow & be a psrt of their family history.

Noack Family Highlights

2009-02-04T12:57:00.000-08:00

These were a lot of fun because I knew when the kids got there they thought this was going to be lame but I soon won them over & we were all laughing so much my cheeks hurt!

Michelle's Bridals

2008-12-08T19:41:00.000-08:00

Click on the images & you can really see mroe detail. This is Michelle - we took these at a gorgeous estate in Flower Mound - the owner was very kind to let us borrow it for a couple of hours. We had a lot of fun shooting these, dealing with the wind - but we just took lemons & made lemonade. Michelle was so pretty, it was easy. These layouts are for her 8x10 bridal album I had made for her - people loved it on display at the wedding.

Nicholas

2008-12-06T07:52:00.000-08:00

Nicholas wants to model & act. Obviously, his hair is what makes him the most unique but he's got a great spirit, too. I've been photographing him since he was a baby - I can't believe he's in grade school!

Erika & Brotus

2008-12-05T10:15:00.000-08:00

Erika & Brotus asked me to photograph their engagement photos. Aren't they the cutest? You can't tell but it was freezing and windy, they did a great job looking relaxed, don't you think?

Bahama Mama

2008-11-26T12:09:00.000-08:00

Although they are from the Dallas area, Lindy & Darvin wanted a destination wedding in The Bahamas & hired me to tag along! Lindy grew up visiting her grandparents there. Darvin celebrated his Scotish heritage with traditional kilts, a Texas bluebonnet pattern. We swam with the stingrays (with removed barbs so they cannot sting). We all stayed at the British Colonial Hilton on the beach near where the cruise ships dock. I was there for a few days. They couldn't stop kissing so I got some great shots plus everyone treated me like a part of the family. I'll never forget my trip to Nassau I'm so glad they chose me. They will have a Texas reception in Jan. so I'll get to ssee most everyone again!

Saying Goodbye to Madison & Melody

2008-11-18T08:46:00.000-08:00

We Remember Madison & Melody Delgado Nov. 11. 2008

2008-11-13T21:34:00.000-08:00

I was asked to be present at the birth of Madison & Melody Delgado, conjoined twins who lived for about an hour and are now in the loving arms of their Savior. It was emotionally difficult but their parents, Jason & Vanessa Delgado showed such courage & strength in the Lord, they gave us all hope & allowed us to not only grieve but laugh and love. God bless the Delgado's!

In Loving Memory of Madison & Melody

2008-11-13T07:19:00.000-08:00

I'll post more soon but I wanted to share this lovely shot of Madison & Melody Delgado. Born on 11-11-08 & in the arms of Jesus the same day. That's their daddy's hands on them, Jason Delgado.

Mixer at Lake Lewisville

2008-10-22T09:59:00.000-07:00

I'm in a group called the Association of Wedding Professionals & we had a mixer on the Chamonix Catamoran on Lake Lewisville. It was a lot of laid back fun, especially hanging out on the back of the boat feeling the breeze watching the sunset.

Jamey & Jaime's Wedding

2008-10-20T17:38:00.000-07:00

Jamie & Jamey are my family & they had their official ceremony & BBQ party afterwards in West Palm Beach, FL. It was very sweet & I totally enjoyed photographing them & especially my little nephews! The photo of Xander wondering where the cake went really 'took the cake'!

The Richie's

2008-10-20T07:55:00.000-07:00

This family is awesome! The Richie's have been together since high school! The kids are really great, too, we did these in no time flat in their backyard & a local park in McKinney. It was a pretty east shoot for me.

Reagan's 1!

2008-10-20T07:51:00.000-07:00

I've been photographing the Tanner family for awhile now - Reagan is the latest addition! She & her brother Jack are sooo adorable as you can see. I know mom & dad thought the session was a bit animated but the kids did really well. Can I please bottle that energy & take it whenever I want?

Misty & J.D.'s Engagements

2008-10-20T07:47:00.000-07:00

Misty & J.D. are so cute together! I know J.D. wasn't too excited when he got there as a lot of guys really don't enjoy the thought of this stuff but once we got started he was surprised how much fun it was. I really try to make it fun, afterall, it ain't serious! I think we got some great stuff...

Bonny & Dan's Engagements

2008-10-20T07:44:00.000-07:00

Bonny & Dan are such a sweet couple, we had a lot of fun shooting these! They did whatever I told them to do...sounds good to me. I can't wait for the wedding! I love the ring shot, too, it looks like we're out in the desert.

Breana

2008-10-16T21:34:00.000-07:00

Breana was a great subject! She wasn't sure what I was getting but she trusted me & we had a lot of fun with these photos done at a local park in Florida.

Olympic Gold Medalist Nastia Liukin

2008-09-29T11:17:00.000-07:00

Olympic gold medalist, Nastia Liukin had her hometown of Parker, TX throw her a parade after returning from the Olympics in China this summer. I was part of a team who recorded all the festivities.

Beman Wedding

2008-09-29T11:12:00.000-07:00

This wedding was filled with really great, sincere people - I really enjoyed myself. When Emily took a hairbrush & pretended to sing Lade Marmalade, that was priceless!

Emily's Bridals

2008-08-06T19:32:00.001-07:00

I got to shoot Emily's bridals at the Old Red Courthouse in downtown Dallas. Obviously she was a beautiful bride and easy to photograph. She took direction very well & trusted me when I asked her to put on the wig & wave the gavel - that's one of my favorites simply for the fact that I've never done that before!

Rausche Wedding

2008-08-04T15:03:00.000-07:00

You saw Jennifer's bridals below now here are some from the actual wedding at Maple Manor in Dallas, TX. Quite lovely as you can see!

AMAZING Sunset!

2008-07-31T08:36:00.000-07:00

These were taken in my backyard in Flower Mound, TX on July 30, 2008. These have NO PHOTOSHOP or digital enhancement to the sky of any kind! This is straight out of my camera with a pop-up flash! When I saw that the sky was orange I ran outside with my camera & made my husband Byron pose. He HATES posing for pictures but he was a good sport & let me get a few frames off! I wish I had a professional shoot scheduled & that he was wearing a different shirt but that's ok, he's still hot (in my opinion)! :)

Jennifer's Bridals

2008-07-28T09:24:00.000-07:00

I shot Jennifer's bridals in this beautiful private home in Flower Mound. The home was featured on the cover of LUXE magazine. Obviously, Jennifer is a beautiful girl so her photos turned out beautifully!

Harrison's first ice cream!

2008-07-28T09:20:00.000-07:00

Little Harrison got his taste of his first ice cream - mostly he seemed to like it but at the end of the session he was DONE! I got to photograph his mom & dad's wedding, too!

Circus FUN!

2008-07-20T16:25:00.000-07:00

Years ago I actually shot with color slide film! The circus came to Flower Mound, TX every year - now the land they used has a department store on it. Since I was watching Celebrity Circus it made me think of these images from the 90's or shall I say, near the turn of the century!

Gehlbach Wedding

2008-07-19T20:20:00.000-07:00

I photographed the Gehlbach's at the Eddleman-McFarland House in Ft. Worth. Emily had so many cute ideas from her color-scheme to the peacock feathers, very original and fun!

Wittenberg Wedding

2008-06-24T14:53:00.001-07:00

Mandy & Johnny were so much fun! Avanti Fountains always serves up a party, too! This couple had a lot of personality which made my job a breeze. Check out the face of one of their guests when Johnny's taking the garter off of her leg! I love her dancing with her dad, too, the emotion was beautiful. I often see children picking at the cake but when they see me they go running - this child was in her own world & loving every second of it!

Green Bay, WI Wedding

2008-06-01T13:25:00.001-07:00

These were shot in Green Bay, WI on May 17, 2008. What's cool is that my cousin is the bride and she just happens to be beautiful! I'm so happy that she trusted me to photograph her wedding.

Georgia's First Communion

2008-05-13T09:29:00.000-07:00

I mean, how cute are these? It's been a pleasure photographing the Cole family over the years & I look forward to photographing their weddings someday (don't worry mom, I know that day is a LONG ways away)!

Christine & Scott's family & engagement

2008-05-13T09:12:00.000-07:00

Christine & Scott are getting married in Rome, Italy in a few weeks. They needed some family & engagement shots before they left & I was happy to oblige. What a great family they have. We took these at the Old Red Courthouse in downtown Dallas & some just outside of it. If I couldn't got to Rome with them then I wanted at least something that looked 'old'!

Preston's Collage Graduation

2008-05-13T09:05:00.000-07:00

When Preston's mom Sherrye contacted me to shoot her son's graduation from UNT I thought, "Well, I hope we can get some good photos since graduations are usually crowded & lots of people take parking lot snapshots!". Good thing we met at Preston's fraternity where he was the Pres.! Then we all went to the library & found this cool fountain. Obviously these guys were having a blast & so was I (that's Preston's dad, Josh, with a mortarboard on looking like a professor - I'm just glad the SWAT team didn't repel down the side of the library to stop us dangerous criminals!

Norton Pregnancy

2008-05-13T09:00:00.000-07:00

One of my favorites things is to shoot pregnancy photos of my bridal couples. Kim called me 5 1/2 years after I shot her wedding & asked me to photograph pregnancy/family photos with Andy & their daughter Katie. I was so excited to see them again & we got some great photos for their little boy & the whole family to enjoy.

Keshet & Family

2008-05-12T19:24:00.002-07:00

Keshet had me take photos of her and her family for Mother's Day. This is one of my personal favorites. I was shooting in shadow & direct sunlight & didn't change my setting. This was not enhanced in Photoshop - pretty cool, eh?
The shot of Empress & son Micah made me laugh because it looks like he's choking or something and she's come to his rescue. I never know what expressions I'm going to get 'in between' shots.

Mandy's Bridals

2008-04-26T22:17:00.000-07:00

Again, another beautiful bride! We went to the Meyerson in Dallas for these. Mandy did everything I asked - even if it seemed strange. She trusted me & obviously we got some great shots. The red one is FANTASTIC - ok, well, I've gotten a lot of positive feedback from it & the groom really went wild, he now thinks he's married a supermodel!

Lauren's Senior Portraits

2008-04-26T22:14:00.000-07:00

Well, Lauren has the total package to be a professional model - only she doesn't usually like pictures of herself. Although, I knew she'd like the ones I took (if I don't day so myself). Here are a few of our favorites from the session. She reminded me a little of the actress who palyed Lori Partridge (how's that for dating myself).

Reagan

2008-04-26T22:13:00.000-07:00

Reagan is one of those babies that actually looks like a doll and she is sooo sweet, can you tell?

Ryan's Senior portraits

2008-04-26T21:33:00.000-07:00

Ryan is a cool kid, he even wrote a book a few years ago! He pretty much did everything I asked him to do which is great considering guys don't usually enjoy having their picture taken! I was having so much fun shooting these.

Michelle & Russ

2008-04-02T07:50:00.000-07:00

These engagement shots were quite animated, sometimes I think I need a video camera to record the conversations between my subjects! They were a lot of fun & I am so looking forward to shooting the bridals & wedding.

Tatum & Dustin

2008-04-02T07:42:00.000-07:00

I got to shoot Tatum & Dustin, I think these two should have a reality show, but then again that hasn't proved too successful for marriages! They were really easy to shoot & did whatever I asked.

Snow Day!

2008-03-25T08:14:00.000-07:00

It really does snow in Texas! It's very unusual to get THAT much snow and in March but here's the proof.

Ethan turns 3!

2008-03-25T08:07:00.000-07:00

I've been photographing Ethan since he was a baby - which doesn't seem that long ago! Recently he turned 3 and we all had a wonderful time watching him enjoy his party.

Rose & Spencer's Wedding

2008-03-02T19:06:00.000-08:00

Here are some recent fun pics. This wedding was very sweet & low-key, mostly outdoors with a beautiful sunset.

Pregancy poses

2008-02-29T14:57:00.000-08:00

I really love shooting pregnancy photos because it's such an exciting time in a couple's life - the ultimate new beginning. Plus, it's really fun photographing the baby later on. This couple wanted some cool artistic photos. They don't know what they are having yet, but I believe it's a GIRL!

Holly's Bridals at the Old Red Courthouse in downtown Dallas

2008-02-24T20:09:00.000-08:00

Holly was a terrific bride to photograph at the Old Red Courthouse in downtown Dallas. This building was closed for 10 years until it was recently renovated to perfection. It's one of those interiors you've really got to see in person. Holly was a classic subject with a great profile, beautiful smile, & porcelain skin. She reminded me of a lady in a Renaissance painting. We had fun, along with her mother, Julie.

Skate Party

2008-02-19T15:26:00.000-08:00

Ok, so I found out I have an undiscovered talent - I've done drive-by, walk-by, run-by & even run backwards shootings but now I've learned I can rollar-skate & shoot my camera! I was invited to a party where I didn't really know anyone - but one person & another I'd met once. The great thing about having a camera, though, is the ability to introduce myself to people, especially because people like to ask me about my camera & to view images. It's fun!
The totally crazy thing is that I actually used to skate at this SAME place over 20 years ago - before texting & digital cameras - oh yeah & open bottles of beer! This party was for adults only and started at 11:30pm, I left at 1:45am & there were still people left. I'm a bit old for late night partying but it was a fun novelty. Do you like my shirt? That's me pretending to be a roller derby girl in a fight, wearing the grey T-shirt - it says 867-5309 (remember that song?). Some people had on some really great disco-wear!
This was an opportunity to play with the rear curtain sync function on my camera/flash. It's a technique where the flash & shutter go off at different times to cause motion blur & longer exposures.
