magali + josh | engagements

This couple was ready to have some FUN. :) 

Internet, people meet the joyfilled and loving Magali and Josh. They have been dating for about four years and ever since they first saw each other--they knew something was special about each other. 

We drove around Abilene, goofing around, tickling (tickling each other, not me tickling...gosh that would be weird!!), laughing, and just loving the weather! 

Above: I just LOVED this collage....Josh kept picking on Magali---! Well actually Magali was doing it too, but my camera never caught her quick jabs! hehe

Thank you both SO much for asking me to take your engagements, I hope you find tons you just LOVE! 

God bless your wedding, life and bright new future together. Especially the church planting/home loving/joy spreading part :) 

tisha + chris | engagements

Tisha and Chris are such a dynamic couple--talk about complimenting one another :). Currently, Tisha is a probation officer and Chris is a State Trooper! I met with Tisha and her mom last month to talk about doing their wedding, and I'm just thrilled with excitement about all the details! They are going to do a fantastic job. AND we already booked an After Session, so even though they aren't going to see each other before the wedding--we are still going to get a wide variety of fantastic pics! Tisha's so organized :D

We started off taking photos in some fields, then we drove out to Buffalo Gap and got some more natural-green shots. 

Hope you two enjoy these! I had a blast meeting you and your family :) 

Meet their beautiful doggy. 

YAY :D

I'm currently visiting my adorable cousins up in Jersey, but will be back tomorrow to do more serious blogging!

meggan + trey | engagements

I met Trey and Meggan for their engagement session and already I can't wait for their wedding! They are from the Houston area, but they met at Abilene Christian University. Trey is a football coach and teacher in a town just Northeast of Houston. Meggan is finishing up studying marketing and public relations. 

As you will soon tell, this couple is spectacular! They were so natural with one another and playful--once again, making my job easy. :)

Enjoy! 

Above: Such cute outfits!!

Above: That lighting is just too perfect for words :). Sigh. 

You both are so kind, natural and all around a perfect match. I feel so blessed to photograph you two! So excited for your wedding--it will be here before we know it! 

Tichenor | Family

Oh my sweet goodness, yesterday afternoon I got to photograph the Tichenors for their family session and Megan and Jesse came to help out! At Megan's wedding in March, I met her sister Meredith's family, Kevin and Carson. Check out their wedding  Don't Megan and Meredith look like they could pass for twins? Another reason why wedding photography is fantastic, you meet so many awesome people! I'll never forget my appreciation towards Megan's husband, Kevin. He helped navigate Korie and I to Megan and Jesse's dress rehearsal and away from a scary prison, in a field, at night, which my trustworthy GPS delivered me to :/.  

Megan, Kevin and Carson drove up from Houston--prepared to have one dazzling photo-shoot. The photos show how this family is so happy, genuine, lovable, FUN, kind, and BEAUTIFUL. Futhermore, the most exciting part is that there is one more is on the way!! 

Hope you had a great time visiting family and taking photos :). Carson did such a great job! I'm so impressed :) 

Above: The only adjective that comes to mind is--FUN! :) I think Carson would agree! 

Above: Check out that expression! Pure satisfaction :) 

Below: #2 is on the way!!! :) 

Above: The bottom photo on the right, doesn't that have a Breakfast at Tiffany's or Barefoot in the Park feel? Now, I know there weren't too many kids in either movie...it just feels so romantic and innocent :). I think it's the harsh blacks and whites...

Thank you for asking me to take your pictures! I hope you find some you just love and can use for your Christmas card! Hope you had a safe drive back and I can't wait to see your new template for your blog!
