I really dig Happily Ever After sessions, especially when they are with a playful and beautiful couple like Tiffany and Jared. You probably remember their dancing and colorful wedding and I was happy to catch up with them a few months later to create some kick bum wedding portraits. We returned to the site of their ceremony and Tiffany braved the chilly temperatures during our time together.

I don’t know how, but Tiffany and Jared were even more on fire for each other during this session than they were on their wedding day – what a fun testament to how love grows after marriage! I am captivated by Tiffany’s eyes and I’m blown away at how stunning she and Jared are together. I am blessed to work with such genuine couples that exude bliss and joy. Best wishes and thanks again to Tiffany and Jared – you both rock my socks!

Remember the pinch-worthy sweetness of Jamie and Jeremiah?  Well, a little after their delightful wedding, they found out that they were going to be blessed with a bundle of joy.  It is SUCH an honor to continue recording milestones for past clients and I was more than thrilled to do some newborn portraits.

There’s nothing like a newbie – and the appreciation has only grown since having my little one last year.  The feet-tucking reflex and tiny fingers make me all soft inside and there’s just a serene sacredness to little ones.  Jordan was SUCH a good little boy despite the fact that we kept interrupting his sleep with repositioning and would change outfits.  He is handsome and breathtaking – Jamie and Jeremiah certainly have a special little man!  Congratulations, you all – thanks for letting me snuggle itty bitty Jordan for a while!

It is always one of the biggest honors in the world to capture chapters in my friends’ lives. When I met my husband, Jeromy, he came with an incredible group of friends that I’m happy to say are like family to us. Time has passed and two of those dear friends have recently found darlings of their own (who I adore!!!) and it is so great to see them start down their own “happily ever after” soon. Two sets of buddies will be marching down the aisle in November and I was happy to capture the fan-tab-u-lous David and Lori for an engagement session.

David is as loyal as they get and super kind and giving. He’s the ideal “guy’s guy” with a sensitive side and has been there for both Jeromy and I through thick and thin. We always hoped that David would find a lovely woman to treat him awesome and that he would have someone to share life’s joy with. Lori couldn’t be any more perfect for David. Both of these cuties work for a police department and it didn’t take long for David to notice the drop dead gorgeousness of Lori. A date was arranged and the rest is history. Lori is probably one of the most gracious and classy women I have ever met. She is thoughtful, has superb fashion sense, and is sweet to boot! Together, David and Lori have been an iconic couple and I was tickled pink when they got engaged last year. I am stoked for when they tie the knot this fall and am looking forward to seeing the great life that lies ahead for them.

Lori and David – thanks for your friendship, love, and support. Jeromy and I could not ask for better buddies and we are so so so happy that you guys are going to start your blessed marriage soon. We love you both and know that there are rich years ahead.

Remember a long time ago when we used to get rain? Poor Rebecca and Joe’s eSession kept having weather issues and it seemed like a victory when we were finally able to get together and have a ball at the Arboretum!

It’s not every day that I run across super duper Stars fans that are eager to don their jerseys for part of their engagement session – I was stoked! This precious couple was all smiles and grins for their photos – I loved it! The charming joy they expressed over their wedding plans and relationship was a blessing to witness and experience. I enjoyed the flow of their shoot, as it really just felt like a walk in the gardens with two friends. Rebecca and Joe – I’m so delighted that you guys have found one another and it was such a great experience to work with you both. You are just as cute as can be!

Classic.  Sophisticated.  Elegant.  Courtney and Cody.  They just all flow together.

Shooting Courtney and Cody for their engagements last fall was a dream.  Both of these cuties are a breeze to photograph and are so great to work with.  Courtney and Cody are thoughtful and gracious and work wonderfully together.  It was so fun to soak in Trinity Park with this kind couple and hear their story.  You can’t fake passion and it was clear that they have strong feelings for one another.  I know that they will continue to lift each other up as they continue their warm journey together.

When I find a girl who will wear Chuck Taylors with her wedding gown, I kinda get goose bumps. As if the previous cuteness of Sara and Lane has not been enough to send you into a sugar coma (eSession and wedding), take a look at our rockin’ Happily Ever After session in downtown Fort Worth. A persistent wind didn’t faze the couple (and neither did some unfortunate bird poo) and they commenced with gush-worthy glances at each other. I so enjoy working with laid back, casual couples like Sara and Lane who know how to have fun and enjoy each other. Sara is an avid reader (and works at a bookstore), so we were able to do some photos at the nearby Barnes and Noble as well!

There were all sorts of fun additions last year, including Mr. Jaden. I was so impressed with big brothers Colin and Spencer – they are such great helpers and genuinely love their new little brother. We had a blast taking photos in Benbrook. Even though Jaden wasn’t feeling well that day, he was a trooper and the older boys were more than happy to do whatever action shots we needed.

Greg and Maria are incredible parents and are involved with their children. They love being together and their strong bond is evident when you are around them. It is refreshing to see a truly happy family and I felt honored to capture this new chapter in their lives.

I loved having the opportunity to capture Lane and Sara’s winter wonderland wedding. This couple has been such a breeze to work with and their wedding day was fun and effortless. I never saw any indication of stress from anyone involved and this thoughtful couple definitely had a special day.

One thing I really enjoyed about this couple is the fact that they incorporated their own special handshake and a pinky promise into their vows. The whole ceremony fit them perfectly and I know that there will be many years of joy ahead of them.

Lane and Sara – I hope that you are having fun during your first year of marriage and that you both are blessed. Thanks for being so sweet and wonderful to work with!

With all of the oppressive heat and high temperatures, it’s a great time to post some of my favorite sessions from last fall and winter. If it can’t be cool, then at least we can be reminded that these seasons are just right around the corner.

Cue the Williams family. You’ve seen ‘em before, but for this session, there was a new family member – Owen. Liam and Owen were adorable and Ian and Amy were as precious as ever. I consider myself fortunate to be their friend and have learned so much from them.

Miss Amy recently won The Real Women of Philadelphia cooking contest and got to cook with Paula Deen herself! Head on over to Amy’s blog and see what she is cooking up this week!

Let me start out by saying that I want to steal April’s eyes (holy cow – so beautiful).  That is all.

From our very first consultation, I fell in love with April and Michael.  There is just a “click” that sometimes happens and you know that everything surrounding that couple is just going to rock.  April and Michael were married at a private residence and everything that day was gorgeous and perfect.  April is one of the most gracious and kind brides I have ever worked with and Michael is such a charming and calm fellow.  And they are perfect together.  I looked around at all of their guests during the ceremony and I don’t think there was a dry eye to be seen – you could just feel the love and joy everyone feels for this special couple.  On a whim, we stopped off at a nearby park before their reception and were able to get some fun couple shots (I’m so happy that they responded well to my “You know what would be fun? … ” remark).  I’m so blessed to have clients like April and Michael that evolve into friendship.  Shortly after their wedding, the couple found out that they are expecting a little one, which is so exciting!  April and Michael – thanks for allowing me to be part of your wedding day and for being so great to work with.  Congratulations on your marriage and family in the making!
