shanna's bridal

While I wait for a few things to process before I begin designing her album, I thought I'd share a few of Shanna's bridal images. We shot these in a cold, dirty room - though you'd never know it! The light in the room was so gorgeous- it really changed the way I imagined a perfect photography studio (you know, princesses dream of castles...photographers dream of studios, haha). Shanna looked gorgeous as always!






UPDATE: We only have ONE more spot for the Senior Special available! If you are interested please contact me ASAP! Thanks!

I'm so excited to offer a package like this one. It is truly all-inclusive!

If you have already booked a senior session, you are still eligible for this package- just let me know...first come, first served!

the new site is live!

Wow, there were times I thought I'd never get to say this, but

MY NEW WEBSITE IS LIVE!

Please go check it out- I would LOVE your feedback on it.

I'll be updating galleries and information for the next week or so, so if you run into any bugs, I'd love to know.

Also, if you are a client and are wondering what happened to your previews, please email me so I can send you a new link- they're still out there, don't worry!

In celebration of the new site, I'll be offering some exclusive specials just in time for senior photoshoots. Stay tuned, and feel free to browse around the brand new website!

a little decoration for my online home :)

Almost every day I hear someone comment about something they saw on my blog. I LOVE that you guys are coming around! But I wouldn't know it, because I never see any comments. It's not so tough to do- you just click the link below each blog, type in what you have to say, and you're done!

I understand that this whole commenting thing may be new to some of you new bloggers, so I decided to put up a poll just to get you warmed up. :)

You only have 5 days to complete this one- so all you blog readers show me that you're out there!

weekend update

This weekend the boys and Shanna and I were in Frisco, TX. We spent time at a Disciple Now and had a great time hanging out, shopping (Ikea!) and feeding our coffee habit. We even had a surprise visit from Kurht's parents!

We were about to head home, when we stopped to eat...and guess who we ran into?


That's Michael Irvin. I don't think I've seen the boys get so silly in a LONG time. (Look at Shawn! He reverted back to that 11 year old on a Sunday afternoon in front of the TV.) He was really kind and even stopped to give us his thoughts on the Christian music industry, and how it is evolving. Pretty cool!

megan • senior

Here's Megan, a senior from Fritch. We shot her senior session last week and had a great time. During our shoot her aunt said that she was "gorgeous inside and out" and I totally agree. Megan chose some sentimental places to shoot at- which is such a great idea. She even brought along her dog, Milo! Thanks so much for a great session!



A little lens flare + texture...
Haha, we realized that to get Milo's attention, all you had to do was shout "Ham!"

trevor + jenni

Last week I had the pleasure of shooting Trevor and Jenni for a quick engagement session. These two were a lot of fun and total naturals in front of the camera. They pretty much let me do whatever I wanted- and I loved every second of it, haha! Thanks so much you guys- and congratulations!

sneak peek for zach + shanna!

Last night I photographed Zach and Shanna's wedding- something I have been waiting on for a long time, haha! It was just beautiful- and such an awesome testament to the love story that God has written for them. I was so happy to be a part of it- hope you guys have a great time on the honeymoon! Love you!

laynie's senior session!

My youngest sister, Layne met me halfway this weekend to do her senior session. I can't believe she is already graduating! We had a lot of fun just wandering around and shooting. Here are just some of my faves:






We ended up on our Popsy's farm, where we did some shots of Layne in her prom dress- the scene was complete with a herd of cattle in the background!




Check out the slideshow below to see the rest of the images! Just FYI, I am now offering slideshows as an add-on to a senior session- you will get a DVD version to show off at home and a web version to share online.
