Arlene and Josh’s Halloween Wedding!
Of all the weddings I’ve ever photographed, and that’s way too many to count, I never, ever photographed a wedding on Halloween before. What fun! Arlene and Josh are really fun people anyhow so what’s more appropriate than having their wedding on Halloween???
Here are several of my favorites…


Very unique ring…












Mr. and Mrs. Little…



I love this area…



very cool car…

check out the punch bowl…





mom and two of her crazy sisters…


Time for the grand march…

devils…

skeletons…

Marge Simpson!


Aren’t they adorable???
Simply Adorable Ellie…
Just look at those adorable blue eyes… Ellie is a very, very special girl. Her parents and a lot of other family waited and prayed very patiently for her and we all are very happy for them and think she just couldn’t be any cuter. I think her cousins, Landon and Parker like her too even if she is the first girl in the family that’s only been blessed with boys so far. Did I mention she’s my husbands first granddaughter??? I seriously think she’s gonna get spoiled!!!










I think she likes her daddy!




Ellie and her grandpa!



Keeley — adorable little girl!
I photographed both Sandra and Kevin as high school seniors, photographed their wedding, then their two boys and then years later… here comes an adorable little girl — Keeley. With two older brothers, she’s not the least bit shy or reserved. Maybe having two older brothers contributes to her personality! Here are just a few of my favorites.







Christmas Cards
Christmas is just around the corner and I am sure many of you are thinking about sending an awesome card to all your friends and family. While I still do simple and custom card designs as noted on my price list, I am now also partnering with two incredible card companies… www.mangoink.com and www.minted.com
For a charge of $25 for one image or up to three images for $40, I will send your image directly to either of the companies and then you go online and select and create your own card. These can be created from any of your past sittings and weddings done by me within the last year or schedule a new session with me! When you place your order with them, you simply need to mention my name.

Corbin – A La Grange Senior
Corbin… I heard that name on KVLG radio so many times and last Sunday I finally got to see the young man I’ve been hearing so much about… the boy who ran back the kickoff for a touchdown in the Smithville game… awesome!!! I don’t know how he can keep up with everything he does… football, track, baseball, tennis, powerlifting, soccer… I think the only sport he doesn’t do is basketball!!!
To fully portray Corbin’s many talents and capture his personality, I photographed him inside the studio, out in my yard… and then… we found some awesome places around the area to get lots of other really neat stuff…
You know you’re only a senior once!!! That’s for sure, so it’s always a pleasure spending lots of time with high school seniors and I love talking to them too… they’re always so interesting and so excited about their senior year, what college they’ll go to… all the decisions they have to make… Personally, I don’t think I would have the energy to handle all the things they have to!!!
Here’s Corbin and all his stuff….










Zoe and Gracie at home…
Here are a few of my favorite shots from Zoe and Gracie at their home. They both have really cute rooms … Children are so comfortable at their homes and you’d really be surprised what amazing portraits can be done there…. either with beautiful window lighting or my portable lighting. Studio sessions are nice but think about something really special and include your child’s home…

Naptime… what a sweet baby…

I think maybe Zoe’s favorite color is pink!!!





They are only babies for such a short time… the tiny fingers… tiny toes… they grow up so quickly!
The nap is over… time to smile now!!!

What an adorable composite. I design custom composites for your home… Ask me what I can do for you!
Kids in the home!
I’m sure all you proud parents have awesome nurseries and precious rooms for your children. Why not have their portraits made there?
So much love and thought goes into planning your child’s room so think of it when it’s time for their momentous portrait sessions. I’ve posted some of my favorites from Harlee’s first birthday session below… by the way… there were supposed to be some awesome birthday cake shots but Harlee wanted nothing to do with the adorable cake that Shelly made for here… so cute with pink polka dots… so anyway we didn’t really get any great shots with that cake.
Window light is always beautiful to use inside for portraits but if you don’t have great lighting in your child’s room don’t frett… I have some awesome portable lighting I can bring along that mimics the beautiful, soft light from the window. Give me a call with any questions about your child’s session. I’d love to help you plan something really special.













Las Brisas Bridals
Las Brisas Farm in Fayetteville, Texas is such an awesome place. The folks there are always SOOOOO gracious ….. I’ve done some bridals there as well as senior portraits and have some family sittings coming up there soon…. Check out their website too if you’d like… www.lasbrisasfarm.com. They’ve got great facilities for parties, weddings, retreats, and more…
Following are some bridals from this summer… the folks at Las Brisas worked their tails off trying to keep the place watered during the awful summer.


A lot of their buildings are made of “recycled” materials…
