A Joyful Mountain Engagement Session

Chelci and Kevin contacted me in December about their December 2018 wedding. I knew from the moment Chelci spoke with me, that I wanted to make their engagement images completely magical. 

Chelci let me know that she wanted their session to be in the Wichita Mountains, so I got to working on a permit application. Unfortunately, when it came time to do their session, my application hadn't been approved yet, and, to say the least, we were pretty bummed out. 

To make the most of it, we had a laid-back session in the Bishop Arts District in Dallas. We got some great images, but I could tell Chelci and Kevin weren't completely in their element. 
A few weeks later, i got the great news- my application was approved! I headed up to the mountains, paid for my permit, and picked it up. Chelci and I set up a date for the mountain engagement, and we waited patiently, hoping the day would bring sunshine, warmth, and *NO* rain!

The day came, and sure enough, we had sunshine and no rain! It was CRAZY windy though, but we managed to get some incredible shots of Chelci and Kevin interacting; being in their element together. They were able to tune out all distractions and concentrate on one another, creating some beautiful moments that I was lucky enough to capture. 

 

Needless to say, you guys, I cannot WAIT to finish their entire session! And I am so stoked to photograph Chelci's bridals in the fall! 

Sweet Love

I had an absolutely wonderful time with Jasmine and William. Their love for each other is so pure and sweet, it was incredibly easy to photograph them and capture the adoration they have for one another. 

I think the BEST part about their engagement photos was that they have decided to save their kissing for their wedding day! I can't wait to capture that first kiss, and all the little kisses shortly after their nuptials. I hope you enjoy these images as much as I enjoyed taking them! 

 

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like...A Webpage

FINALLY!
Finally I have found a busy-scatter-brained-can't-remember-any-thing-sleep-deprived-procrastinator-friendly website host! 
I'm so glad to have an easy interface to showcase all of my wonderful clients now! I'm counting on all of you to keep me accountable for updating this photography blog, and clients, I need you to stay up my butt about it, too. I want your beautiful faces up on this blog for the world to see! 

It's mid-February. And as a mom, I still feel like I'm settling in to the year. That's weird, right? In college I swear I was revved and ready by January 10th. But, alas, I'm not in college anymore and things get weird the older you get and the more kids you have to keep alive, amirite? 

So far this year I've had the honor of photographing the sweetest engagement. Their outfits were absolutely perfect. As a matter of fact, I'll blog about that fantastic session tomorrow.

Al & Ceciley were so precious and so easy to work with. The laid-back couple made sure to concentrate on each-other instead of concentrating on me. That's what always makes images magical! 

I've taken some Valentine's Day pictures of my little self-made doppelgänger- and my goodness was she cute. This year seems like it is going to be pretty laid back. Two weddings, a few bridal sessions, and...a lot of soccer!  (I've gotten crazy and brave: decided to volunteer as coach for my son's soccer team! What!)

I can't wait to go on this social-media/website journey this year! Will you join me? 

Much love,
