Easter

admin — Sun, 11 Apr 2010 18:16:34 +0000

We traveled to Dallas Easter weekend for a soccer tourney. Because we didn’t get home until Sunday evening, our Easter celebrations were small and short. It’s hard to believe Kellyn is too old to really enjoy the Easter egg festivities and Blaze is not far behind. They are growing up way too fast. Enjoy!

Meet Blake…

and his adorable sister, Kayli and his beautiful girlfriend, Raini. Blake is a senior at Canyon Randall High. I know him through his mom, dad and aunt and this guy can play some golf – he has an awesome personality to match. When I visited Amarillo over Spring Break weekend, his dad asked me to take Blake’s senior pics. I happily obliged!! He was great in front of the camera and I have many more great ones to post at a later date.

Thanks Blake for allowing me the privilege to take your senior pictures. Have a great rest of the year and good luck at West Texas next year…I know you’ll do great!

Kendra+Mikeith=Love Forever

admin — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 02:22:36 +0000

I cannot get enough of this couple!! They are total rockstars and TOTALLY in love. I met Kendra a couple of years back while working at UMC. I didn’t really get to know her until in the recent months…she is a doll!! And how freakin’ beautiful is she??? I know Mikeith thinks she is. He is so unbelievably amazing with her. They are getting married this summer in Mexico – aren’t they going to make the most gorgeous bride and groom?

You guys – thanks so very much!! I had such a great time taking your pics. I hope you have a wonderful life together!!!!

These next shots are SMOKIN’ HOT!! Wow, what chemistry these two have! Love these shots. And they were NOT posing.

Mikeith looks so handsome in this picture – love it!

This could be one of my most favorites…love the drama of it!

And how great were these outfits??? Way to coordinate, Kendra…it totally rocked!

And the infamous red wall – you just cannot go wrong with it!

And the light in this alley was just dreamy! Love these pictures so much. I love how playful they were and then I absolutely adore the last alley shot – so sexy!!

The overpasses by the stadium are fantastic!! How about these two’s Chuck Taylor’s? So darned cute.

I liked this session so much, I made some business cards with their pictures on the back. I know, I know…photographers aren’t supposed to have business cards with photos plastered on them – too bad! I did it and you are going to love them.

Meet Taylor

admin — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 01:44:52 +0000

Taylor is a senior at Seminole High School and will be leaving for New York for design school in a few short months. What an amazing personality this girl has!!! I really can’t believe someone can be this pretty and have an inside to match!! She was so much fun to photograph. Taylor, thanks so much for allowing me the privilege to photograph your senior portraits. Have a fantastic last few months of your high school life and best of luck in your future endeavors…I have no doubt you’ll do amazing!!

Props to my cousin, Jamie, for helping me with the off-camera flash.

Candice+Lance=Love Forever

WARNING: IMAGE OVERLOAD

It’s been such a long time since I have posted – it’s been such a long time since I was out in the “field.” I have missed it but duty calls and I absolutely love my job so I definitely cannot complain. My first time back out was last Saturday with an absolutely adorable couple. I hardly had to direct this couple at all. This was all real stuff…real affection, real hugs, real kisses – REAL LOVE! Lance is AMAZING with Candice. He was always rubbing her arms or cuddling her tight to keep her warm. He looked at her with such adoration and she smiled back lovingly. I can say with 100% certainty that this couple is the real deal and I have no doubt their marriage is going to be strong, happy, loving and FOREVER!!

Candice and Lance – Thanks sooooooo much for entrusting me with your engagement pictures. Stay sane over the next few months as you plan your big day – relish in this time; it all goes way to fast.

I don’t know what it is about this last image but it totally grabs me! I can see this blown up and put on canvas and hung in their home. I LOVE IT!! So REAL!!

Meet Brandi

admin — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 16:59:53 +0000

Brandi is in her senior year at Lubbock Christian and if you haven’t scrolled down already, she plays bb for LCU. (I promise to make it out to watch you before the season ends, girl!) This stunner decided to give her parents a nice Christmas present this year and I do believe she delivered. She and I went out a couple of weeks ago and shot all over Lubbock so we could get some good shots in her uniform before her last season ends. I met Brandi through tennis and oddly enough, we are quite a bit alike in the competitive aspect of things. She has such a great disposition and I just love Brandi to death. There are soooo many more to show but I MUST get some Christmas shopping done before the stores close on me. More later…

Thanks Brandi! I really enjoyed taking your pictures – you are absolutely gorgeous!

Meet My Nanny, My Tennis Partner but most importantly, MY FRIEND!

admin — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 15:59:51 +0000

I had the pleasure of meeting this blonde, bubbly and completely hilarious Texas Tech beauty summer before last. We happened to be playing on the same combo team together and I asked her if she babysits…the rest is history! Amy is so many things to me – a few days a week, she comes over at 6am in the morning so my husband and I can leave for work. She then feeds my kids, gets them ready and safely drops them off at school – ON TIME, I might add; which is way more than I can ever accomplish. She helps me in so many ways with my kids and around my house…I was so lucky to find her and my kids adore her.

Amy is also my tennis partner – poor girl! I have a very funny story to tell about our very first tennis match together. Well, ya see, Amy and I share the same birthdays; however, she was born a few days before I graduated from high school so there is quite a gap in our ages. Amy, knowing how much I dread getting older, lovingly whispered to me after playing the worst set in my life, “If you don’t pick it up, I am going to tell everyone you gave birth to me on your 18th birthday!” ha ha ha ha! That Amy chick sure is hilarious alright. Amy and I didn’t lose again that season (we haven’t been so lucky in tournaments)! Heck no am I letting her tell anyone I am her MOTHER!!! I love playing tennis with this girl…we have a great time and we really even each other out.

But before I close this little post, I must talk about what a good friend Amy has been to me. The age difference means nothing to me, she is wise beyond her years, she is the most got-it-together person I have met in a very long time and Amy is an amazing listener. We will be lifelong friends – even though she will be pushing me around in my wheelchair someday. ; )

I feel extremely blessed to have this spunky little lady in my life and I really don’t know what I am going to do without her come August – She’s graduating from Tech and moving on to new endeavors. Amy D. will be missed!

And hands down, my most favorite image of the session… (she should model!)

Meet the Eagan Family

admin — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 03:39:59 +0000

I met Brandon over four years ago when I started working in Amarillo. He works at a hospital I call on frequently. Brandon and his beautiful family met me on a very cold, blustery day in a Amarillo last week for some family pictures. The kids did their best to be troopers on what was one of the coldest days of the year – it was way better weather than what we were to originally have to face the Saturday before. We started out at a park and I just wasn’t gettin’ what I wanted…we then found an awesome abandoned barn – I loved shooting there and I can’t wait to shoot there again. The kids were able to stand getting their pictures taken at that point because the barn helped block the wind and frigid temps. These girls did an awesome job and how adorable is the baby?? Lovin’ those pigtails.

Thanks Brandon and Angela – See you for another round in late spring!

Holt and Lainey

admin — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 04:24:12 +0000

These adorable children were featured in my blog last year about this time. It is always such an honor when I have repeat customers – means so much to me. Holt is in Blaze’s kindergarten class and I have known his mom for a few years now. Lainey is a busy little girl and I had a hard time capturing her as she was running all over the place but seriously, how adorable is she!!! Oh my gosh, look at those eyes. And Holt’s expressions are priceless. Thanks so much, Alison – I enjoyed spending time with you guys again. Your children are absolutely precious!!!!!!

Meet My Good Friends, The Chesley’s

admin — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 03:43:45 +0000

Laresa is a good friend of mine from Amarillo. Her daughter, Ms. McKenna, was on Kellyn’s soccer team so that’s how we met. Her youngest son, Evan, is another one of Blaze’s “best buds” and he’s always been so nice to play with Blaze when we are around them. I haven’t been around Laresa’s oldest, Walker, too often as he is always so very busy but I learned while taking his pictures, he is quite the prankster! Laresa and I have played tennis together, participated in a Bible study together, had girl’s night out’s together and we have laughed together – a lot!! I miss these people – so glad we stay in touch. I had a great time taking your pictures, guys. Hope you enjoy them. (Larry, thanks for being such a good sport during this shoot!)
