Moses | Family

Yesterday afternoon, I got to photograph the cutest little girl (again)!! During the summer I got to photograph Shea, Tyler, and Anslee. Well, they wanted some fresh shots for their Christmas card! I think this time around Anslee felt either more comfortable with my big black camera clicking and it helped that Tyler's parents came to help out and to get some solid family photos :). 

Thanks so much for making this session precious! 

Above: I just love how she would stand on her tippy toes :D 

Above: So precious!! I love finding random furniture :)

So beautiful :)

Thank you so much for asking me to do your photos! I hope you find some that will work splendidly for your Christmas card! And I hope yall are settling into your new home! 

Jennifer + Zane | Portraits

I met Jennifer at the Abilene Bridal Extravaganza back in January. She was also a fellow photographer at a booth! Anyway, she recently moved from Lubbock to Abilene and now has an cute office downtown! About two months ago, my computer totally flipped out on me...beeping at me, freezing, not working, the whole nine yards...to compound the frustration, this was during the last bit of the crazy wedding season. Her husband, Zane, basically nursed my baby (macbook) back to health and told me how to actually get it fixed. Amen to friends and AppleCare :). To show my great and genuine appreciation I offered a session :D. 

Enough chat, we did these this morning and had a blast! It's really nice photoing other photographers, very often they know what to do, how to move and what to avoid doing! (note: this rule does not apply to me! haha)

Above: This has such a Two Pair feel, right?? Tressie? 

Above: Great example of what to wear! Bright colors, fun textures (ruffles, buttons, pockets :) and then a great coordinating outfit for Zane :)

YAY, thank you friends! Hope you find some you like :D. 

PS. My computer is thanking you too :) 

brittany | new second shoot!

Yesterday, Brittany and I went and took photos of each other to update our blog! YAY. The weather was perfect, blue skies and easy breezes. Also, Brittany took a couple shots of Brad, me and Winston for our Christmas Card! More photos of those cards to come once they are all finished and looking beautiful. 

Brittany is my new second shooter for weddings next season! She helped me out at Jamie and Darren's wedding and I cannot wait to do more with her. She is a sophomore at Abilene Christian University and is studying photography/graphic design. During our mini-fun shoot, I hogged the camera most of the time, that's why there are more pics of her :) (plus, do not to forget, I am queen at being painfully awkward in front of the camera!!)

Let me know which one is your favorite!!

Above: My favorite is the middle one in this series...so beautiful Brittany!

Above: YAY!! Didn't she do a great job? I just updated my "about me" section to reflect then new pics :). My favorite one is on the bottom right.

Life has been so sweet recently, mainly because I am caught up on editing ALL WEDDINGS and SESSIONS!!!!!!! Like with these photos, I've been able to experiment, play around in photoshop, and make so many new fun textures! It's like photography's new all over again. 

My goal for the next two weeks, is to burn a million cd's, package, and mail everything. Then make an album every day AND stay up to date with my sessions as they come. YES or YES. Oh and pack. Did I mention we are moving????

It's official! We are moving to Ft. Worth!!!! More on that later :)
