hunter • senior

Hunter and his family drove in from Seminole last week to meet me for his senior photoshoot. I really enjoyed getting to hear about his family and their travels to all sorts of places- plus Hunter was up for whatever crazy thing I might ask him to do. We wandered around one of my favorite spots, and I really love the images we got. Here are some of my faves:










Don't you think he looks a little bit like Josh Hartnett?

The other night I went out with super-awesome photographer Shan Renee to experiment with lighting. My friend Racquel was so nice to model for us- I don't know how many times we made her run and jump and twirl! I had so much fun playing with that lighting that I think it might become a habit- so more to come soon. Thanks so much girls for a great time!








I really loved both of these. Couldn't decide which was my favorite...

andrew + kristin

Andrew and Kristin were married last Saturday in Amarillo. I had a great day with these two and their friends and family. It was a beautiful spring day.


Kristen had two dresses for the evening-- this is the second one. I think I heard someone say, "it's very Jackie O.", and I agree!




The groom:

I loved all the colors of the bridesmaids' dresses- and the fact that they had pockets!


A simply gorgeous bride:



The girls were dying to do this, haha:

Probably my favorite images of the day:


The most fashionable ringbearers ever!



This cake topper had been used for four generations:





Congratulations you two!

chris + bethany = engaged!

My good friends Chris and Bethany have been dating for a while, and a couple of days ago, Chris let us know that he was going to propose! In a matter of about 24 hours, he had asked for her parents' blessing, bought the ring, and had a perfect plan. I was so excited to get to photograph the whole thing. Chris planned the event at a park where they frequently take walks-- he had the specific tree in mind that he wanted to stop at. I got to the special spot a little early to capture the preparation:

Chris carving their initials into one of the limbs:

The finished product, with BB's new initials:

I was staked out under some low branches of a tree about 50 yards away, so Bethany didn't even see me when they walked up!

He had tied the ring to a long red ribbon:

Popping the question:

She said yes!

The tree really was a nice backdrop:

Realizing that they're not alone!



It was such an exciting event. Both of them were just beaming and I feel so special for getting to be there and photograph it!


The Cardenas clan, who helped out with the prep. They hid in someone's yard with binoculars!

Congrats you guys! I am so thankful for friends like you!
