Engagement Session

Love this girl.  We've known each other since your most awkward phase in life - yep - middle school.  She's gorgeous, and now she's engaged!  I loved everything about this session.  Makes me want to be engaged.  I told my husband that and he just looked at me strange...  :)

McKinney, TX Engagement Session

I can't wait to shoot these two sweet people's wedding next spring at the 1899 Farmhouse!  They were so much fun!

I drove up for an engagement shoot at Erwin Park in McKinney and the light and location was just gorgeous!

Engagement Session ~ Los Pinos Vineyard

Kayce's full engagement session.

Engagement Session ~ East Texas Winery

There is this wonderful winery not far from where we live: Los Pinos.  Amazing food - wonderful wine (duh) - great service - and can you find a more beautiful setting for engagement images?  Nope - no you can't.  This session and this setting was meaningful because: 1.  my little sister is getting married and 2.  long before this place was a winery it was an equestrian center.  We spent so much time here.  Working, riding, training horses, being thrown from horses, mucking stalls, working on stadium jumping and dressage.  Bundling up in frigid winter temps and melting in humid Texas summers.  We loved it so.  It was a magical place for us.  I think it still is....

My little sister is getting married!!  :)

Wedding ~ Kendra Michelle

One of the things I absolutely love most about being a photographer are all the warm, wonderful, crazy, artsy and inspiring people you get to meet and work with!  Kendra Michelle fits this bill completely!  I got to work with her this past month second shooting at one of her weddings - see the stunning bridal session here.

For this wedding, which took place in Dallas, Kendra and I drove up the evening before to scope out the ceremony site, and basically feast ourselves silly at Uncle Julios's, a restaurant that Kendra introduced me to - DIVINE - and DUH - I know exactly why I love this girl so much!!  And for those brides of mine who have opted for a second shooter I promise you won't regret it - Kendra shoots for me too when she isn't booked with her own weddings!  You can check out her version of our trip here.

Below are some of my favorite images from the wedding.  It was beautiful - and the bride and groom were just stunning.
